More about this game

The Ballroom of Karma is a gothic interactive story where you guide twin sisters, Celeste and Lenore, through a fateful night. Your goal is to navigate their desires and resentments by making choices that shift the Karma Meter between -100 and 100. Each decision impacts their relationship and leads to one of several distinct endings. You can also pause to speak directly with the characters, asking them questions to uncover their true feelings before the final dance concludes.

Tips

Choices that favor reckless desire lower your karma, while choices that favor healing and honesty raise it.
The Karma Meter ranges from -100 to 100; extreme scores unlock different endings than a balanced score.
Use the 'Speak freely' option to gain insight into a character's motivations before making a difficult choice.
