About Zia

Zia is a visual novel made with Ren'Py by Studio Zia, using 3D CG art. You follow Zia, a modern-day witch who works as a stage magician while keeping her powers hidden. When supernatural forces begin intruding into everyday life, she must make difficult choices that shape her future. The story mixes suspense, romance, and paranormal events, and it presents a bisexual heroine rather than a single-gender love interest.

The current build is version 0.5, released on June 23, 2024. It is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac in English, with no censorship. Development is ongoing, and this update starts the second and third romance sub-branches. Earlier releases added the first romance and no-romance paths, then continued the main story while introducing the next romance route.

Developer's description

Zia is a modern-day witch, hiding in plain sight as a stage magician. But when the world of magic slowly starts bleeding into the ordinary, Zia will have to make some pretty tough decisions that will change the course of her life. Follow her story in this long-spanning saga filled with suspense, magic and wonder. --IMPORTANT NOTE-- ZIA IS BISEXUAL!!! If you want a game that treats its female characters with care, and crafts a sincere "female-female" romance route as much as the "male-female" one - then you might like this VN. But if your top priority is that the protagonist should only be interested in women (or only in men) - then this game is probably not for you.

At first it seemed like a silly game to me, but it's not one of those games that bores you with the text. The text is engaging enough to keep you going. And at a certain point the story opens…

Dev might want to change this line under developer notes " non-skippable hetero scene in 0.1" that made me think that there is a sex scene with a guy but theres not, its just a kiss and thats it so…

Zia v0.5 [LIGHT SPOILERS] Let’s be clear here, I enjoyed playing Zia. At the best times, it’s a story of friendship blossoming to love. But I also felt confused while playing Zia, because I struggled to understand what the game…
