Gilded Cage

Description

You own a bakery at the heart of your home village, Berseras. Your older brother, Ryan, has been looking after you for the past nine years. Though in reality, he was always the one taking care of you. But at some point you’d have to move on, right? Start your own life so your brother can live out the rest of his. Well, that was always true but neither of you ever expected it to be so abrupt. 

Having never left Berseras, you find yourself navigating a world that you are definitely not prepared for. With a prophecy looming over your head, an assassin on your tale, a people-appointed ‘savior’ charge, and a tyrant Monarch, you are poorly prepared for this journey. 

Travel to different cities, make allies or enemies, befriend a Saint and/or an assassin, be a menace or a peacekeeper, no matter the choices, what you do will go down in history. What kind of Protector will you be?

The Edge of Yesterday  is a 18+ interactive fiction game, with a main focus on plot and lore. It is intended for mature audiences and will contain scenes of violence and vulgar language. Some themes might be distressing for some, so please understand your own limits.

Romance Options:

☀ The Savior

[ Finley Raith | He/She/They | Vi’ba | 22]

Overly cocky with a side of innuendos, Finley is the main star of a foretold prophecy dating back hundreds of years. With a big ego, sassy comebacks, and sleazy diplomacy, Finley doesn’t seem like the kind of person to ever doubt themselves or their abilities. They would rather inject poison into their own skin than admit they don’t know what they’re doing. Having grown up as the child of an extremely rich noble family, they find themselves in a whirlwind of shock as they try to navigate the world their family so desperately tried to shelter them from. Will they rise up and be the savior everyone has been dreaming about or will they be Dunaria’s worst nightmare?

“They’re all the same, but how much different am I?”

⚔ The Assassin

[ Elliot Lennox | He/She/Xey | Sho’ai  | 23]

Extremely mysterious with a side of snark, Elliot is the tyrant Monarch’s right hand, eyes, and ears. With an abundance of nonchalance, coldness, and disinterest, Elliot doesn’t appear like the kind of person to stray from orders or their supposed destiny. Though perhaps a part of xem, deep, deep, very deep down, aches for something more. Having grown up without parents, taken in by an assassin training academy, xey have known nothing but violence and strength. Will xey be able to find xemself after spending so long being someone else or will xey finally break free from the chains binding xem to a dark past?

“If I’m going down, you’re coming with me.”

Gods and Villains is a superhero/horror story set in a dystopian future where Earth is filled to the brim with crime and corruption—a.k.a MCU meets The Boys.

Warning! injury to major characters, gore, body horror, trauma and PTSD, death, and sexual content. Rated +18. More specific content warnings will be provided at the start of each chapter.

You take control of a powerful metahuman, an otherwise ordinary human on the outside but who has the meta-gene, a potent mutation deep engraved in their DNA, which gives them superhuman abilities. This next step in human evolution comes with a setback, however, for the curse of madness seems to follow their every step. It lurks in the shadows, patiently waiting for the opportunity to strike—many metahumans fall prey to its alluring promises. 

With a dark and traumatic past filled with untold horrors and inhuman experiments, you are rescued from the clutches of crazy terrorists by a team of heroes that might lend you all the tools you need for redemption or complete self-annihilation. 

As the only metahuman with the ability to wield the powerful Chaos Magic, your very blood holds the answers to unlocking the secrets behind the control of time and space, but it has the drawback of being almost completely volatile. 

Who can you trust to keep you safe other than yourself? Trust no one, and maybe you can get out of this literal hell alive.

Play as male, female, or non-gender specific, along with transgender choices;

Romance one of seven characters, and if your heart is big enough fall in love with two of them. There's three possible poly routes available: Archon and Stardom, Archon and Mars, Paladin and Wildcat;

Customize your appearance, personality and powers;

Struggle against the shackles of madness trying to take hold of your psyche;

Battle a multitude of villains or become one yourself;

Uncover the secrets behind the meta-gene and your abilities;

Help the public fall in love with superheroes or forever destroy that chance;

In total there are seven romance options, each with their own personality, and dark secrets for you to uncover. You can read more about them below:

?

The villain, or anti-hero, whatever you want to call them, Mars is an enigmatic figure; the very concept of life seems to hold no value to them. A trail of bodies follows wherever they go, and on the news, they are regarded as the biggest menace of the century. They will have the unique ability to sway your loyalty. Beware, their sweet words and promises may drip with honey, but they also drip with the blood of their victims.​

Trope: Forbidden love, emotional scars, blood-play

Zev/Zena Hammer

The oldest of the bunch and not a metahuman per se. Hammer acts as the spokesperson for the team, mitigating the often tenuous relationship between humans and the so-called "mutants". As a retired police detective they've learned firsthand how rotten the world can be for the innocent, and they've vowed to protect them at any cost. Their analytical and communication skills will go hand in hand when dealing with various crimes, just as their implants.

Trope: Widow/widower, age gap, don't-call-me-daddy/mommy

Adam/Ava Armstrong

The current leader of the Alliance Team. Headstrong and dauntless, they are regarded as the strongest metahuman in modern times and the most enigmatic of them all, whose past is shrouded in mystery and unknown even to their closest friends. On the outside, they might seem apathetic and unconcerned with human suffering, but their true feelings are hidden beneath layers of deep trauma. Superhuman strength and invulnerability are their greatest assets when fighting villains.

Trope: Nobody thinks it will work, love/hate, fucking-your-boss

Edward/Evelyn Osborne

The former leader of the Alliance Team and Archon's best friend. On the surface, they are the stereotypical showboat: cocky, greedy, and egoistical. Stardom does whatever they can to gain attention, fame, and riches. For them, the best feeling in the world is an adoring fan and a beautiful person fawning over their heroics. The meta-gene gives them a genius-level intellect, which in turn is used to develop several pieces of equipment that are employed by themselves and the team during fights.​

Trope: Billionaire, belated love epiphany, good-people-have-good-sex

Johnny/Johnnie

If Archon's past is shrouded in mystery, Paladin's is drowned in it. For all you know, their name is not even Johnny/Johnnie but an alias of their choosing. They are known to be the silent loner type and are somewhat socially withdrawn from other members of the team, only speaking when called upon to do so. Behind their silver mask, they harbor more than a few inner demons, and together with their superhuman weapon and combat proficiency, they fight for the innocent.​

Trope: Secret identity, oblivious to love, weapon-fetishization

Pedro/Pilar Flores

The youngest of the team, considered by many a lighthearted jokester without any real talent beyond their obvious powers—which set them apart from every human that walks the earth. With their metahuman status so evident for everyone to see, hiding just didn't seem like an option, so they chose the next best alternative. Known to be playful, energetic, and often immature, they are responsible for balancing the team's more serious side, and when someone can take the form of any living being on Earth, the repertoire of pranks is endless.​

Trope: Beauty and the Beast, broken in some way, begging

Doctor Malik/Malika Aziz

The renowned Doctor Aziz, a famed archaeologist and considered to be the most powerful sorcerer, or magic user, in the world. They wear several enchanted artifacts that, in turn, accentuate their already tremendous knowledge of the mystical forces. With an extremely strong moral compass and kind demeanor, they will show themselves to be the best teacher you could ask for, but why do they seem to be everywhere you look?

Trope: Time travel, twin siblings or clones?, teacher-student

Redemption IF

Demo (tba)

Genre: Romance, Young Adult

Themes: Reflection, Sacrifice, Second chances

Dig two graves if you want revenge. For redemption, you only have to dig once.

You rush down the living room, your mother yelling at you to slow down as she was cleaning. You made a quick apology, before running towards the doorway meeting your sibling halfway there.

"Woah, slow down, you are in no rush after all," your sister exclaims. "You literally yelled my name and added 'urgent', so what gives?" You retort while giving a slight shrug.

She just smiles, giving you a poster. "I found this, that's why!" You consider her excitement, skimming over the words. You work out the words "Competition", and after, "Astra Academy" and immediately thinking of ways on how you could compete.

This is just a too perfect of an opportunity.

You were a student and a duelist enrolled in the best school in the country by scholarship. You have competitions, or rather enemies of sort, but you are better than them. Until one unfortunate night that caused your expulsion...

Five years later, you come across a poster presented by your sister. The poster shows a flaring base that can pique interests of others, and that is just the catalysts. It turns out, the Academy will be rewarding a very generous price to the winner; enough to turn your whole life around.

Blood, sweat, and tears will be shed. You, however, will shed more than that. Your history is complicated, your future is distant, and the journey is beyond treacherous.

Will the prize be worth the effort? If it is for your family, right?

⇨ Play as a person in search of redemption.

⇨ Customize your MC's appearance, gender, and sexuality.

⇨ Shape your skills throughout, master different forms.

⇨ 10 characters to meet, and 6 different characters to romance.

⇨ Reconnect with old relationships, weather it be rivals or friends.

⇨ Decimate your rivals, or spare them from your wrath.

⇨ Win the tournament... or not.

Romantic Options

🃁 Lys (M/F)

Possibly the greatest duelist inside the Academy... that is when you are not around. They are your ex, and still show hostility towards you. Perhaps you two could set aside your difference.

🂲 Page (M/F)

Your former classmate and closest friend in your circle. It has been years since you two had seen each other, and they went through many changes, however they still are a total airhead.

🂳 Rain (M)

A person with an interesting set of skills. His reason of joining is simply for fun, and to learn. He doesn't seem to have any interest in winning, but he hangs around to watch and cheer.

🂴 Yuna (F)

A person with an oozing positivity. She is charismatic, tolerable, and just a nice person in general. While she has some interest in competing, it is totally fine for her to loose.

🃅 Serai (M)

The most passionate player you will come across. His only hopes in this tournament is to win and nothing else. He will do everything to get this recognition.

🃆 Elaine (F)

A more laidback person than her brother, Serai. She does share the same goal as his brother, but is more accepting in whatever they receive.

Platonic Options

🃑 Resha (F)

Your number one fan, and sister. Even thought time is tough for you and her, she is very energetic and constantly bounces around. Her specialty, much to your dismay, is to annoy you everyday.

🃒 Anders (M)

Your favorite teacher. He is quite a father figure to you, he is the one who pushed you outside your comfort zone and shape you to the person you are today.

🂣 Whitey (M/F)

Your rival. They pretty much hate you more than Lys does. You pretty much have beaten in every duels, duo matches, and free-for-alls. They changed a lot, but their hatred still remains a passion.

🂤 Red (F)

Your former classmate, and another one of your rivals. There is no hate between you, since she is more of a training partner, though that doesn't mean they will go easy on you.
