Sporting an odd mix of Celtic and Christian mythology, Fragrance Tale can be neatly summed up as a visual novel which involves mixing perfume. It may sound odd, and to be fair, to a western audience it certainly does come across that way (it's also an example of the sub genre of 'BL' game, or 'Yaoi', which concentrate on romantic relationships between only male characters, written and designed primarily by female gamers, and a sub genre of games that sadly never would of sold to a western audience). Angels and demons both make an appearance, with your character tasked with creating the perfect fragrance which will end the age old war between the two forces, with the usual mix of love simulation and visual novel elements making the game a difficult one for those who can't handle the large amount of Japanese text.
