About

After defeating an evil demon, the player is in charge of raising a war orphan, Maria. There are 74 possible endings in which the daughter can grow up to work anything from a humble job such as a soldier or a mason, to a prestigious job such as Archbishop or Prime Minister, to a "dark side" job such as prostitute or crime lord.

In addition, numerous factors decide whether or not the daughter is successful at her job, whom she marries, and whether she has children of her own.
