Don’t Want To Find My Way Out

Don’t Want To Find My Way Out

Don’t want to find my way out

A Blight has taken over, blanketing the world in darkness and malevolent monsters. Everything with an ounce of life or humanity is lost in shadows.

You are a mage. The only one left , the only hope for the future of your village and world. The pressure is on your shoulders.

But you fail. You fail and your town is taken. Your friends, your peers, the old lady you see on the streets everyday, the grass, the flowers, taken. All hope is lost.

Or is it?

Don’t Want To Find My Way Out

Romance one of four characters, 2 male, 1 female, 1 nonbinary(or two of four if you fancy that ) plus a pretty female fae fling

Traverse through realms forgotten with your best friend-turned-Shadow

Play as a woman, man, or nonbinary person

Use pronouns separate from your gender

Save the world, or don’t

For more in-depth game mechanics

This IF will be rated 18+ for mentions of suicide (of a character close to the MC) , mental disorders, hallucinations, mind control, optional sexual encounters, mentions of sexual assault (of another character), mentions of human trafficking (of another character), and possibly other triggering themes (this will be updated as I write).

Don’t Want To Find My Way Out

Kieran | M | He/Him| The Best Friend

Kieran has been your best friend for as long as you can remember, he was there for you when you needed him, so it absolutely crushed you when he was taken in the blight. But…Even as a Shadow, he seems to remember you. He was there for you when you needed it, so you decide to be there for him (begrudgingly or otherwise).

Kieran is made of shadows for the time being. You can not see his face, and the outlines of his body seem to blur into the air, his eyes are the only thing light about him. Sometimes, he prefers the shape of a wolf over his human figure. Originally, his freckled dark bronze skin, wild brown curls, and golden eyes were the features that painted your history.

romance-able by all genders, he is demisexual and panromantic

Eliahs | M | He/Him| The Rogue

A charismatic and selfish con man, he grates your nerves but upon Kieran’s pushing, you eventually decide having more people on your side will be beneficial to your survival. Turns out, he’s much more valuable on your side than not, and he wasn’t just bluffing. He knows a guy, and he will show you the way, if you’ll have him.

Eliahs is slim but firm, like an acrobat. His pale skin does little to ccontrast his milky blonde curls that nearly brush his chin. His eyes are light green and in the right light they look ice blue. His smirk is as easy as his relaxed stature.

romance-able by all genders, he is pansexual and aromantic (he usually leans romance-neutral, and rarely positive)

Thalia | F | She/Her | The Fae Guide

It is not easy to know where you’re going in the Forgotten Realms, but it is easy to lose your way (or your mind). Thalia has lived here her whole life, and seems to really like you.

Thalia has cool dark skin and a dark green afro, she is all supple skin and curves. Her wings are holographic and green, resembling that of a dragonfly. She has vitiligo on her face and on her body.

she is not romance-able (in a sense), you can sleep with her as any gender but she is not willing to leave her home to travel with you, and will not do a relationship where you’re both in different places.

Meiri | NB | She/Xer | The Half-Changeling

The half-changeling who tries to kill you. Yep…She’s flippant and peculiar. She claims to see things that aren’t really there, and is strangely paranoid. Xe is especially curious, but other than that you can’t figure out why she’s so eager to follow you. Nevertheless, xer powers are something you can use.

Xer hair is hip-length and dark black, and xer fringe is cut into straight bangs. Her skin is porcelain white and her body is lithe and angular. Xer face is marred by a large scar on the right side, a gash that appeared to blind xer in one eye. She is missing the usual facial “petals” that most changelings have.

Meiri is romance-able by female and nonbinary MCs, she is greysexual and lesbian.

Anesa | F | She/Her | The Witch

She is who you’re looking for. She is a legend among mages, whether she is a legend for good or bad is all up to opinion. She is known as a prodigy, for her age, it is nearly impossible to get where she is now, so why hasn’t she tried fixing the Blight? What does she know that nobody else does and why does she keep the secrets so close to her chest?

Anesa has long, mid-back length dark grey hair, despite being in her mid-twenties. Her skin is tan and sunkissed and her body is pear-shaped, thin at the top but thick in the hips and thighs. She has multiple black-inked tattoos on her body which range from small runes and protection charms to beautifully intricate depictions of nature and mystical creatures or plants.

Anesa is romance-able by all genders, she is bisexual and biromantic.

Amity | F | She/Her | The Ghost

Amity is a small ghost child who died in the Blight. Her parents became Shadows and ended up killing her. Anesa retrieved her soul and turned her into what she is now. Amity seems to be Anesa’s weak spot, as do children in general. It’s unsure what Anesa’s motives were when turning Amity, but Amity is enamored with her nonetheless, and makes good, quiet company when you need it.

Amity is transparent and blue. She almost seems to glow. She is often in a dress and with her hair to her shoulders, the ends curled outward.

Amity is obviously not romance-able, seen as though she is a child.

Poly Route is Meiri x Anesa x Female/Nonbinary!MC

And possibly others!

Route to Eutopia - New WIP IF

Route To Eutopia - New WIP IF

You have one year left to live.

But are you afraid of dying? Probably not. Since you don’t even know how to live your life. You have been hidden away from society's eye since young. And the only friend you have is an Alter, genetic-modified species born to only serve other people and nothing else. Alters live so ‘people like you’ could live.

That makes the two of you. Alive. But never here. Never lived.

If opportunities arise, would you take a chance to change it? Only you can answer.

In a world where feeling nothing at all is better than letting your emotions rule over you, your choice to break those rules and make a change will paint a new shade of history that no one ever could. 

Hidden behind shut doors to live your quiet life as a secret child of Bastien Palmer, Sole Leader of Eutopia paradise, you never experience anything except for repeating the same old routine your entire life. You are the existence which should not be known, not just for the reason that you are the byproduct of your father and his secret lover. But also because of your frightening ‘Alter-like’ eye color, most of it is silver like any Stargaze–but nevertheless… tinted shamefully by crimson streaks.

You are told to stay away from public eyes for the sake of Palmer’s reputation in which you feel obliged to. However, your life of peaceful solitude will never be the same again after tonight…

Route to Eutopia is a violent dystopian loosely-conceptual interactive story where you are a bystander surrounded by The Chosen One of your own choice. You are to designate whether this story will head towards the direction of mutual peace between Alters– a human-like specie believed to be plagued by uncured disease since birth– and Stargazers —a group of survivors whose ancestors once lived on a faraway planet before an inevitable disaster occurred and forced them to flee into another dimension, or towards a doom fate that cannot be reversible.

To be noted; RtE is a heavily-relationship based game (not necessarily in platonic/romantic sense) each of your interactions with any character will determine the tone and purpose of their motivation. Any choice you have chosen, make sure to embrace the consequences of your action at your own expense.

With that being said, it is also worth mentioning that you don’t need to engage into a romance or specific relationship with any character to complete the story.

RtE also rated 18+ for explicit contents, disturbing topics such as discrimination against race, gender or sexuality and more… which will be tagged and cautioned about once the demo is released.

Settings

RtE takes place in a post-apocalypse society where the concept of time is lost and any history known was only speculations at best and rumour at worst. Trying to maintain their sense of utopia, Stargazers built and operated their space colony as a temporary base for self-preservation (in which only fews know details about) called ‘Eutopia’. 

In this dystopian paradise people’s sole purpose of living was fixated on surviving. And in order to do that, the whole population creates a solid ground rule not to let themselves ‘feel’ about other emotions that do not serve for public favors. Hence, you will be challenged to adapt to several situations and handpick the best flavor of your actions based on the emotions you have learnt or developed from your surroundings.

Who do you play as?

For now, you will be playing as a secret child of Bastien Palmer, the leader of Stargazers who already has a wife and two other perfect children, your younger sister and brother. Ones you have never interacted with nor you ever get the chance to.

MCs subjectively considered a white sheet which you can paint anything on by your preferences. Explore the world full of colorful emotions or bottomless pit of numbness by your own choices. 

But remember, Eutopia is a place where everything goes according to one simple rule ‘To survive’ hence the marriage between a man and woman will be set as the norm and only truth, and someone who will state otherwise must face and suffer the ugliness of social standards accordingly. However, I do not encourage any transphobic/homophobic behavior of the characters in this story. Please kindly be assured of that.

There might be a chance where you can start off as other characters, that is, however, still a subject-to-change matter as of now.

Introduction to the Chosen Ones [ ROs]

**Please be aware of mild spoilers below**

Vegaris (M/F) 19 Star-crossed lovers or Nemesis route, The Rebel.

They would do anything to survive, even if it means to betray the only person who trusts them deeply… like you.

Vegaris is an Alter who has so many sides hidden behind closed doors. Unpredictable, cunning, hot and cold are the words that describe them best. Due to their traumatic childhood (much like other Alters on Eutopia), they have a deep-root hatred for Stargazers. Although they were brought in by your family and treated almost the same as one of your father’s own kids. They still witness the unfairness of being an Alter in society and never afraid to point the wrong in other people’s doings. 

Their usual mask, however, is one where you cannot crack open that easily. They always remain calm and composed in front of you, and only show their fangs when circumstances arise.

Dana/Darren Regency (M/F) 22 Childhood friends, Forbidden route, The Face.

For a person who seems to be easy to read as much as an open-book, they sure talk with silence better than with their own voice.

A poster girl/boy for Regency Academy. Your former childhood friend (for some unknown reason, they're trying their hardest to avoid you) and an only child to the Head of Deans at Regency, Sandalphon. They are the precise image of how one should raise a Stargazer. Being a honor student. A model citizen. And a perfect ideal partner. They are assigned to be married with the most capable genetic-wise fiancé. As popular as they appear to be to the public, their private life (as private as it can be) is still a gigantic loophole for most imprudent reporters trying to catch even just a glimpse.

It seems like what they are trying to avoid is not just you, but the entirety of Eutopia.

Sandalphon Regency (M/F) 40 Age-difference, Single-parent route, The Pacifist.

Do you believe in something just because it's true, or it becomes the truth only when you believe in it?

Sandalphon is the most powerful influence among the deans of Regency. A group of people that has control over governing matters even beyond that of Bastian Palmer, the President. For Sandal, they are anything and everything people could ever ask for in a Regency. Kind, generous, well-versed with every branch of knowledge in the universe. Never wrong in anything. And never judge anyone based on their bias.

If only people knew the truth, they’d probably beg to differ.

Maybe they are just good at hiding beneath that gentle facade, maybe a calculated mind with strings to pull works best with neutral suggestions... who knows?

One more hidden character will be revealed in the demo, Into the Madness route, The Savior.

[ Classified info. ]

**There will be two sub ROs and flings to be introduced later in the story.**

More info will be announced.

Demo TBA.

Datalog is completed roughly til the end of the story. Coding and polishing will certainly take time. Any more updates will be announced solely on this blog.

Follow & Reblogging is appreciated. Thank you!

obsessed with characters being saved against their will. being knocked unconscious and carried away from a danger they won't stop trying to fight. being shoved through a portal somewhere far away and safe right before it closes. trying to self-sacrifice only to have the exact person they're trying to save swap their places at the last second. getting the only cure to the disease or curse bc the person administering it loves them too much to give it to anyone else, including themselves. being thrown to safety right as they had accepted dying. someone else they thought had gotten to safety running back to drag them out of danger. it's so fucking tasty

OMWAT Official Prologue

It's Time. It's Here. (I'm scared)

The time has come at last. I am super excited to finally post a bit of what I have been working on with everyone, I had a lot of fun coding and writing this, even if it's a little short.

I'm still going to be adding and fixing things as we go, Act 2 is already mostly written, so once I am done editing it, I will get to coding.

But I am taking this weekend off however, I sorta crunched to code this ASAP and besides, I really want to see how you all react to OMWAT's beginning.

I will be keeping an eagle's eye on my inbox so PLEASE let me know what you think; give me feedback, criticism, suggestions, all of it.

I hope this helps piques your interest and that you all stick around for OMWAT's development with me!
