Psyche

When Psyche lifted the mask, Cupid vanished and fled from her side.

"They urged Psyche to light a lamp and gaze upon his face while he slept,
and if he proved to be a monster, strike him down in that moment."

There are some bugs with some of the cutscenes not showing up. We will make sure to patch this and update the game as soon as the jam is over, but the game is somewhat functional for now.
