In PIERCING, you play as Lin, a woman who works as a tailor, fleeing your ruined hometown led by the hand by your childhood friend Asha. Wandering without food and nearing your limit, you make a Contract with a mysterious Sage and take on a game. The Contract provides you with water and food no matter the outcome, but every time you fail the rhythm game, you must pierce Asha. It’s a yuri dark fantasy about surviving a decadent world alongside Asha, who adores you.
A playthrough is designed to take about 1–2 hours, and multiple endings and an endless mode give you even more to dig into. The endless mode also features leaderboards. The game is priced at $7.99, and to celebrate the official release, it is 13% off for the first two weeks after launch.
