DEMO (TBA) — September 10th
Aurelian Academy, the pinnacle of evolution within the supernatural world; the first landmark to be erected after the Dark Ages— the time where supernatural races still lived within the shadows of the mortal world.
You’ve been prepared to go for your entire life— all one hundred years of it. Being the youngest child of a ruling vampire clan didn’t give you much choice in the matter. Going to Aurelian meant taking the next big step in your immortal life; finding your mate. While also honing your skills that will later help your people.
Will you be able to prove yourself to your parents? To your siblings? Will you be able to uncover the mysteries that surround the ancient school?
Or will everything vanish as the midnight sun approaches?
Create your character. Customize your name, potential nickname, gender, sexuality, appearance, hobbies, and powers. (Note: The MC is a Vampire and is 100 Years Old.)
Choose from 3 Classes that your character has honed— Charmer, Shadow-Kin, or Warrior.
How does your character feel about humans? Are they simply ants that you don’t bother with? Potential allies? An intriguing conundrum?
Do you enjoy the modern world? Or do you miss the simplicity of the past?
Romance 1 of 8 potential romances. (With possible additions of polymances later on.)
Explore Aurelian Academy and uncover the secrets that litter the ancient halls. Just make sure you don’t miss class while doing so.
Koda Kingston [He/Him] — Bear-Shifter — He’s a mass of muscle and warmth, eyes filled with good humor and overall joy. Might not have a lot going on upstairs, but he’s definitely got the spirit. [Male MCs Only]
Scarlett Voltaire [She/Her] — Vampire — Cold as ice, ruthless to any that oppose her, with a flair of heated contempt at the people who annoy her, Scarlett is the middle child to the oldest ruling family within the vampiric race. [Female MCs Only]
Cyrus/Cyra Aurelia [He/Him or She/Her] — Phoenix — Heir to the Eclipse Throne; they’re the eldest child of House Aurelia, Founders of Aurelian Academy. They’re the pinnacle of what an heir should be: dutiful, strong-willed, and loyal above all else.
Quinn Grant [He/Him or She/Her] — Wolf-Shifter — An individual that’s been whispered about within the halls of your home; a prospected mate in the event that both your warring nations wish to unite. Now that you’re meeting them, you may be able to see if that’ll ever become a reality.
Caden Randall [He/Him or She/Her] — Phantom — Appearing on a random night five years before, they’re not exactly what someone comes to expect when thinking about a phantom: scared of their own shadow, fretful, and a complete neat freak. They’re tasked with ensuring your stay at Aurelian Academy goes smoothly.
Sloane Addams [He/Him or She/Her] — Wolf-Shifter — A wolf-shifter without a pack, disgraced in the deepest way possible, they don’t seem to be that overjoyed at the prospect of attending Aurelian Academy, but that doesn’t mean they’re not set on proving themself and finding a pack once more.
Blake Herrera [He/Him or She/Her] — Vampire-Hybrid — Your best friend (and potential FWB). With a flirtatious air, a rebellious spirit, and an affinity at finding trouble, they’re a vampire that takes a bit to get used to.
Reginald/Regina Presley [He/Him or She/Her] — Human — A scholarship student to Aurelian Academy; the first of many that may be attending. With a thirst for knowledge, along with a devil-may-care attitude, they’ll try their best to fit in. Of course, that’s easier said than done. As they’re the first human to ever be admitted as a student.

💘 HEART W/ ARROW - what traits do they look for in a relationship? do they believe in love at first sight?
So I kind of merged the two questions together:
Aurelian: from a young age, Aurelian was shaped by his parents troubled marriage, which left him feeling disillusioned and resentful towards love.
As the heir to the throne, he was fully dedicated to his duties and responsibilities, leaving little room for thoughts of love and romance.
In fact, he struggled to distinguish between his desire for control and his genuine feelings of love for the things and people he cared about. So that made Aurelian have a complex relationship with the concept of love, and struggles to recognize it when he encounters it.
Elara: despite prioritizing her studies and interests, Elara always remained hopeful that she will find the one.
Growing up with books and studying, she never found much time for romantic relationships, but deep down she yearns for a deep and meaningful connection with someone who shares her love of knowledge.
She dreams of finding someone who can keep up with her intellectually and who will challenge her to be her best self.
Whenever she meets someone who shows even the slightest interest in her passions, she eagerly seizes the opportunity to befriend them.
While she may not believe in love at first sight per se, she is open to the possibility of experiencing a powerful and immediate connection with someone special.
Kazuo: for Kazuo, love is not something that can be rushed or taken lightly. He prefers to take his time to really get to know someone and build a connection based on shared values, interests, and experiences. He is someone who approaches love with patience, care and a deep sense of respect for the other person.
In his eyes, finding love is not about physical attraction. It’s about finding someone who truly cares about him and shares his values and passions.
And Kazuo will go to great lengths to protect and support the people he loves, even if it means putting his own wellbeing at risk.
Aiden/Ava: since they were young, they have always been prone to “puppy love”— that instant crush on someone who helped them up after a fall or made them laugh. But while their feelings may come quickly, they don’t take love lightly.
They have a natural tendency to befriend people and have formed many close relationships throughout their life.
But even as they enjoy these connections, A still hold out hope that there is someone out there who will love and care for them in a way that no one else ever has.
SC:
“Love at first sight? No, it was a possession beyond mortal comprehension, a binding of our souls in a union of passion and desire.”
…
hii! similar to the body markings ask, could we get to choose multiple scars (at least for the body) and jewelry? I am weak for scarred characters (MCs included) and also love looking fancy 👉 👈
don’t we all. ✨ but yeah don’t worry, I’m turning them into checkboxes so you can choose as many as you wish.
the sands of time is a fantasy interactive fiction where you play as the mage of a small provincial town who, in the process of investigating into strange magical phenomena, finds themselves embroiled in a far-reaching political intrigue with potentially deadly consequences. and ghosts.
themes/tags : intrigue, fantasy, effects of time, power, magic, ghosts
You are a mage who, after being forced to flee from the capital for a crime you may or may not have committed, has taken refuge in Kemorlen, a small, unremarkable town ideal for keeping out of the political reaches of the Illyosian Empire. But when an apparently straightforward investigation into bizarre magical phenomena forces you into conflict with figures from your past and powerful forces that care little for you, how will you navigate through the oncoming storm that shatters your fragile calm ?
The continent of Aiolos has been dominated by the Illyosian Empire, with its back-stabbing nobles and complex court politics, for generations. Yet their hold is beginning to fray, and its rulers will do anything to take back their former power, sparking events that quickly spiral far out of their control.
Aiolos is a land at the crossroads of the mortal and spirit realms, where the effects of the underworld are felt keenly, and the delicate balance between mortal and spirit realms is ever on the verge of tipping over.
Decide whether the accusations of treason that forced you to leave the capital have a basis in truth.
Meet five characters (one male, two female, one nb and one selectable: either male or nb) and choose to pursue romance, friendship, or rivalry.
Navigate a world of complicated politics, spirits that frequently won't stay dead and magic that permeates everyday existence.
Choose your name, pronouns, gender and place of origin.
Pick which area of magic you are strongest in, out of four (warding, enchantment, healing and transmutation).
Try not to get assassinated, arrested or possessed.
[ROs]
Jasper (m) :
A familiar face from your past, and not one that you expected to see again. He's a snarky, obsessive researcher into spirits and, during your time in the capital, your closest companion. After getting caught up in the incident that provoked your rather abrupt exit, you presumed him to be dead, and he you.
Leonora (f) :
The owner of the alchemists shop next door to you in Kemorlen. Despite her saving your life (numerous times) and helping you to create a new life for yourself there, she remains a figure that you know surprisingly little about. She's blunt, impulsive, skilled with a sword, and definitely hiding something. All in all, you don't quite know what to make of her.
Augustine (nb) :
A quiet, unassuming healer who arrived in town shortly after you did. Surprisingly squeamish and possessing a dry sense of humour, they have quickly become indispensable in helping you deal with the everyday magical difficulties of Kemorlen. Their past remains a mystery to you, and you suspect there may be more to them than first appears.
Mira (f) :
A charismatic bard who wanders the roads of Aiolos collecting stories, gold, and animal companions after being exiled from her home kingdom. She seems to attract trouble, but as long as the resulting chaos makes for a good tale she doesn't appear to mind much.
Theodorus (m/nb) :
A spirit with patchy memories and a thirst for revenge after being accidentally brought back from the underworld. They're awkward, restless and struggling to reconstruct a life for themselves in a world where they are supposed to be dead.
demo : in progress. prologue is being written.
release medium : twine & itch.io
On the day when the rain fell and flooded the ground, the sign of the wolf appeared outside of town.

I played the demo and I'm already planning to romance the demon already😊 and amazing job on the demo! I'm looking forward to the chapters!^^
Hey it's alright, no need to apologize we can wait and take time as long as you need👍
hey anon! I just wanted to say a big thank you for your kind words. They truly mean a lot to me and made my day brighter.
your support is greatly appreciated.
hey everyone! How's everyone doing? I hope you're all doing great!
I have some exciting news to share. I've been working hard irl here and there, and I've finally managed to buy a laptop! My family and friends played a significant role in making this happen. I'm so grateful to them and all of you for the amazing support!
It was challenging to get things done without a laptop, but every day, things got better and easier. And despite the stress and pain I endured, I'm proud of myself for never giving up on writing, even if it was just a quick phrase or idea.
I'm also grateful that I had the foresight to save my work on a hard drive before all of this happened. It's one of the perks of having anxiety, I guess. I can't imagine what would have happened if I hadn't saved everything and lost it all.
Anyway, right now, I'm organizing files and my notes on the new laptop. Despite my senior year of college starting soon, I can't help but feel happy and excited to be back! :)
