The story of Arabesque begins in a mysterious way, when a young girl named Alice is approached by a man who calls himself "K". The two share a bizarre sexual experience, which Alice finds herself unable to forget afterwards. From now on, she is determined to find the mysterious K. She works in a mansion, serving another mysterious figure, a masked "Master", hoping to find clues concerning K's whereabouts by talking to the maids and learning about their own experiences.
The gameplay is somewhat in the middle between a regular Japanese adventure and a visual novel, more tending towards the latter. Plenty of text can be scrolled without any input by the player, but for the most time the situation requires active menu-based navigation through the mansion and its surrounding, as well as choice of specific activities and dialogue themes.
