"Enkindu's Embrace" is a linear gay romance visual novel that draws inspiration from the ancient Mesopotamian "Epic of Gilgamesh."

This game explores the deep and intimate relationship between Gilgamesh, the King of Uruk, and Enkidu, a wild man crafted from clay by the gods. Their bond, often interpreted by scholars as having homosexual undertones, starts from rivalry and evolves into a profound companionship.

Set in the majestic city of Uruk, the game unfolds with the tyrannical Gilgamesh encountering Enkidu. Their relationship begins with an intense wrestling match and develops into an unbreakable friendship. Together, they embark on daring adventures, from battling the monstrous Humbaba in the Cedar Forest to opposing the divine wrath of the goddess Ishtar.

As their journey progresses, their bond deepens into love. One moonlit night in the palace gardens, Gilgamesh confesses his feelings, leading to a romantic night that defines their relationship...
