Your future lies with demons: whether you become a chosen bride or end up in a brothel depends on the upcoming auction.

PLOT AND BACKSTORY
The World: A grimdark post-apocalyptic fantasy world. The world was shattered by a Catastrophe and is now overrun by monsters. Humans and demons, once eternal enemies, have formed a fragile alliance for survival.
The Alliance's Main Goal: To give birth to the messiah – a girl named Ariem, who, according to prophecy, will save the world. The problem is that girls are almost never born anymore.
The Temple Institution: To continue their bloodlines, demons take human women as wives. The Temple is a strict institution where young women are prepared for bride auctions. The perfect graduate – a Lumin – is supposed to be beautiful, obedient, and ready to bear offspring. At least, that's the idea.
Your Role: You are one of the Temple's wards. Your future will be decided at the monthly auction on the new moon, the Festival of Saint Lilith.
Possible Outcomes:
The Best: You attract a powerful demon, become his Lumin, and possibly the mother of Ariem.
The Worst: You are not chosen and are sent to the "Pleasure House" – a public brothel, the nightmare of all Temple girls.
The Alternative: Try to escape. To hell with these demons! Save the girls and get your ass out of there.
What's Happening Now: The auction is approaching. Tension fills the Temple. You must prepare, prove yourself, and make an impression on the potential suitors, who range from noble aristocrats to common soldiers. Your entire future depends on your choices and actions.
First Scenario: The week before the festival and the auction itself. Prepare; perhaps you can change something.
Second Scenario: The day of the festival. Try to talk to someone; maybe you'll succeed.
Your Goal: To survive and find your place in this cruel world.
