The "flat" (♭) symbol indicates a lowering of pitch. In the context of the story, this beta explores the lowering of the protagonist’s moral boundaries. To escape an emotional crisis, the half-immortal protagonist can now choose to feed on a dying animal – a shocking ethical downturn that was not present in previous versions. The B-flat is the sound of their soul descending.
For the uninitiated, La Vitalis: Immortal Loss is a gothic horror-romance visual novel set in a crumbling, anachronistic European city. The player assumes the role of a mortal artist who has been accidentally turned into a "half-immortal" – a being capable of perceiving the memories of others through physical touch, known as "La Perception." The title itself is a clever double entendre: "Vitalis" represents life and vitality, while "Immortal Loss" refers to the paradox of living forever while losing the ability to form lasting, mortal connections.
