The fires of the Hells can never burn brighter than the flame in your heart. The rage of a dragon can never be quelled. You’ve been wronged and you will. Take. Them. Down.
You awaken one day on horseback with a group of people you don’t recognize, with no clear memory of your life before this moment. You’re taken to Amveros- or rather, they are Amveros? They might have just saved you, but from what, you’ve no clue and you’ve no idea if you can believe them. Your confusion is worsened when the leader suddenly tells you, “They won’t hurt you anymore.” Just what is going on?
Honey and Fire is a character-driven high fantasy interactive story revolving around trauma, recovery, love, and dragons. Yes, you play as a dragon who has been turned into a human. Join Amveros in taking on dangerous tasks and build relationships with these people you’re now stuck with as well as some you meet outside of the group, until a sudden attack on the city uproots your barely settled-in life and sends you off on an epic journey with your companions, who all seem to have demons of their own they must fight off. As memories start coming back to you piece by piece, can you figure out what happened to you and fight off the destiny you’d been groomed to accept? Will you decide to give in? Or will you crumble under the information you’d repressed, perhaps for your own good? They say ignorance is bliss, you know.

ROs
6 of 9 ROs have been introduce in the demo, but below is a bit of information (and the abridged version of their descriptions) on all of them.
Zenos Meleid – Male – Homosexual (romanceable by male MCs) – The leader of Amveros. He’s kind but still a strong leader and he seems to get along with and care about every member on the team despite their differing personalities. He clearly knows you, or knows something about you, and some of the things you say confuse him, but he won’t say why. Zenos is 6’1 with dark brown skin, short dark brown hair, violet eyes, and light scars on his face and arms. He is human.
Day – Male – Pansexual (romanceable by MCs of any gender) – A member of Amveros that occasionally acts as second-in-command due to his vicious and effective fighting style and ability to invoke cowering with his presence alone. He is not directly rude, but he is very stoic and blunt, naturally refusing to show emotion on his face. He has two extremely well trained Rottweilers that, though he doesn’t say it, are the most important thing for him. Day is 6’5 with pale skin, short black hair, red eyes, two marks under each eye like slashes on his cheeks the color of black and red respectively, and a black hat (that looks similar to our modern, real-world police hats) He won’t say what his species is.
Koda Morley – Male – Bisexual (romanceable by MCs of any gender) – A member of Amveros. He’s the youngest member on the team, but he makes up for inexperience with enthusiasm. He’s a touch awkward, but ultimately very caring and driven. He uses two swords and is very skilled with them. For some reason, he gets shy around a male MC. Koda is 5’10 with bronze skin, short dark green hair, one grey eye and one pitch black eye (iris, sclera, and all) with a black vine tattoo around his black eye. He is a human that’s been touched by darkness.
Niinara Godwin – Female – Queer (romanceable by MCs of any gender) – A member of Amveros that occasionally acts as second-in-command due to her responsibility and intelligence. She’s fairly relaxed and shows an eagerness to get along with you, the type of person that’s suited by a smile. She’s a low level magic user, her magic different from Day’s and Effie’s, but useful all the same and she’s clever in how she uses it. Niina is 5’6 with dark brown skin, curly cloud-like hair that starts brown and fades to a light red near the ends, and amber eyes. She is human.
Dani Barton – Female – Bisexual (romanceable by MCs of any gender) – A member of Amveros. She’s a fighter and a strong one at that. She’s laid-back and can be a bit loud, but she’s always with a smile and doesn’t let others get her down. She uses her fists in fights but has a dagger and throwing knives in case she can’t just punch out the opponent (she usually can.) Dani is 5’11 with tan freckly skin, long russet red hair pulled into a ponytail with the sides and back of her head shaved short, and sapphire blue eyes. She is human, but Koda likes to joke she might secretly be a demigod.
Effie Silversworn – Femal e – Demisexual (romanceable by MCs of any gender) – A member of Amveros. She’s a magic user who relies almost exclusively on her magic, making her the most skilled magic user on the team (followed by Day and then Niina.) She’s quiet and a bit snarky with people she knows, but she’s more approachable than Day and, in fact, seems quite interested in getting to know you for some reason. Effie is 5’0 with light flawless skin, long wavy silver hair, and brown eyes with a golden ring around the pupils. She is a half-elf.
Olilia Helleborn – Female – Homosexual (romanceable by female MCs) – A shopkeeper who runs her shop out of her own home. She makes magic charms and various foods/treats for pets. She is an elegant person, speaking with poise and politeness at all times. She has 5 snakes, 8 turtles, and two chameleons. Lily is 5’9 with pale skin, very long straight black hair, silver eyes that glow softly in dim light with slit pupils, and two horns atop her head curling backwards. She is a cambion.
Inias – Male – Unknown (romanceable by MCs of any gender) – A fallen angel lost in the world. He’s a bit melancholy, shy, and naturally sweet, but it’s in your interest not to forget him falling wasn’t an accident. He hasn’t been out of heaven in so long, he’s out of his element. Inias is 6’0 with light skin, long hair starting black and ending blond in a loose braid, eyes completely taken over by black, big black wings and black marks following his ribcage on his torso. It’s possible to remove him from the game completely instead of saving him from losing his mind.
