Ascension: The Red Devils (WIP)

I’ve begun work on my new game Ascension. In it, you play a Witchling a creature of darkness and cruel magic. Old and ancient. You’ve seen dynasties fall and rise, your covens burn and reduce to ash and blood. You’re alone. Doomed and being pulled through the land with only one thing keeping you alive. The hope that someday you’ll find your family again.

Features
  1. Play as male or female in a world where there are pre set prejudices and gender roles.
  2. Play as a creature of ancient and dark lineage who’s roamed the earth for three centuries.
  3. There are three ways your fate can go, you can either choose to be an ally to the humans and save them by burying the hatchet. Or….you can stab them all in the back and have your revenge.
  4. The stats do matter. You can die. It’s more RPG themed than a romance game. Heavy on the storyline.
  5. Also Become a mercenary cause why the hell not.
Romance Options
  1. Asher Danwood : He’s a fugitive Commander of the King’s Army with a dark secret of his own. He isn’t all human either and has a connection to a family witch folk once feared. He’s the Leader of the Red Devils. He’s stoic and stern with a surprising affinity for collecting flawed broken individuals and giving them purpose.
  2. Sirax Erai: The second in command who is the glue that keeps the group together and from killing each other. He used to fight in the arenas for coin and was thrown to the gallows for killing his master. He might look like he can crush you with his bare hands but the man has more kindness in one finger than most have in their whole body.
  3. Inis Keran: The runaway assassin who escaped his/her term as a Shade. Snarky, always ready to prank someone and create a problem for no reason what so ever. Jul has a mean streak with a sadistic nature. Why this assassin follows the Commander like a loyal shadow is beyond you.
  4. Zani ???: Sweet bubbly and quick with her fingers. She’s the youngest of the group and used to be a thief before Asher took her under his wing. Zani might seem careless and naive but she’s suffered much and hides her pain under a smile.
  5. Rose Carwack: She used to be a priestess of Valla and trained as a healer. Why she left the temple and is now a mercenary who heals the wounds of men who slit throats like men butter bread. She’s sweet, kind to everyone but you. You she seems wary of. Almost like she knows what you are.
  6. Ulric Hashery: He used to be a hunter in his village and joined the red devils because they considered him tainted and cursed because his mother had him out of wedlock. He’s been ostracized his whole life and after his mother passed from the red plague. His quick flint temper is more a defense mechanism than a personality trait.
  7. Lady Analisa Brewmont: That’s her human name. But you know who she really is. What she really is. She makes even Inis’s tendencies to mock seem like a child’s play at being mean.
   

Currently it’s about 1 chapter done, and I plan on updating every 2 weeks.

A decent start looking forward to seeing how the story progresses only one game breaking bug encountered and was a error message when trying to look at the stats screen.

this was a very good start, i enjoy the fact we’re playing a more feral witch then the elegant sorcerers or bookish wizards we usually play in these types of games. i’m looking forward to playing more as you release

the only bug i got was the same above, the stat screen not working, though that may be because you havent added stats yet?

I think I will wait for a month or something before trying it

how long is it exactly, asking out of curiosity to see if I will have time to play it.

I like it so far, very engaging.

A spelling error on the last page of the demo.

Lunas.

The name echoes in you before you consciously think it.

The Forest God does not send dreams. The vision bunrs behind your eyes.

Good start! Really happy that we can play a wicked witch!
