Edelweiss is a UsefulNotes/RenPy-based visual novel/dating based on the many idealogues within the [[VideoGame/KaiserreichLegacyOfTheWeltkrieg Kaiserreich universe]], made by Butteryicarus and Team, and was conceptualized around February 2016.

Following one of six main characters on their journey to Switzerland to receive an international education from the International University of Geneva, your character will meet ten primary characters representing the ten ideological categories present in Kaiserreich, as well as a variety of other side characters. Finding yourself in between the French and German powderkeg, will you be able to plant your roots and blossom in a land far from home?
