Love Gene

First things first as usual
Thanks to my family, friends, all writers and all the subtle influences. Getting to try and do this is really…something.

About game or story:
Love Gene: “genetic factors that can influence an individual’s propensity for forming and maintaining romantic relationships.”

Lol… With that, is this story a sci-fi??? I hesitate to call it that because the science in this story-game is basically “truuuuust meeeeeee”. However you do assume the POV of an individual who participated in a programme that gets rid off the love gene, in hopes of making him/her less attached and the ultimate warrior.

It is set in a alternate world, where the northern districts have united in order to place the entire nation under one government. You are the secret weapon of the northern districts.

Now the question is will your lack of seeking emotional attachment remain permanent?? Or will the two scientists doing observations closely (with sight and physical touch) change that?? Will you also explore memories of before the programme??

Stay tuned for the next episode.

(You can ignore the last line, but mahn do I sometimes miss DBZ and childhood).

It is currently 14K+ words.

To play the demo: Love Gene

How often do I plan to update it? Lol, I ain’t promising NUFFIN no more. However would appreciate any feedback regarding: weirdly placed words/grammatical errors or anything that stands out while reading-playing.

Other wip(s) I am currently working on:
A Surreall World
The King’s Viens

More babble:
So I recently joined a local book club called “Open book society For authors and readers alike” , and usually the books recommended are dark fantasy, which honestly I never really rated/thought much of the genre before (apart from 50 Shades which I liked) but after joining the book club, I began to have an appreciation for the genre. Which also played a role in influencing the idea Love Gene. So S/O to the book club.

Is this gender-locked to female? They call me “She”

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: I don’t know why this took me out… :joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy:

But no, it’s not gender-locked. In the beginning select a different “Dr.” that’s where the choice is made.

:point_up_2: :point_up_2: :point_up_2: :point_up_2: :point_up_2: :point_up_2: The choice happens in the beginning.

Lol…Hau!!! What-chu mean!!! Harley Robins Evans, what else is there to know?? “Love Gene…You are part of a classified unit…Two scientist trying to influence you…Let’s gooooooo…”. I kid, will definitely try to add more detail as the story unfolds. For instance; the are certain things I hadn’t consider adding until I started typing. So perhaps will come across more of that, so I can add to the summary and make it a bit more enticing.

See how my hand are described as detachable weapons is oddly funny. “Ro hands you your barehands” lmao. Is there going to be more customization for mc and description for ROs? And how do you say Ro name? I just end up calling her Rosa. Last thing is mc a super solder or just a regular solder with no emotions?

Why…why is the dialogue formatted like a movie script instead of being regular quotation marks? this is giving me Fomorian War flashbacks

3 Likes

Hair, eyes, body shape, height, skin tone and do you have a set appearance for ROs or we get to customize them also?

So im guessing mc cant control there powers yet bc struggling against bots and getting pinned by gun fire made ot seem like he was normal…my barehands were equipped and ready but i couldn’t do nothing :joy::joy::joy: i can’t wait for more

Fomorian War?? Will definitely check it out…

And it is mainly personal preference after I read Suzerain . I found it a bit more easier to follow scenes, when its in that format.

:joy: :joy::joy: :joy::joy: :joy::joy: :joy::joy: :joy: To be honest the super part is mainly just because the POV participated in the Love Gene program…but you do get ULTIMATE FOCUS, and you can train later on as an option.

2 Likes

Hair is there though…Did your POV not take a shower after training?? (smh). LOL, but thanks will definitely add some suggestions. Not yet sure about height because that will have to change dialogues.

And they are set.

:joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy: We not laughing at you, we will laughing with you like my easy to laugh cousin always tells me.

Tsk, tsk (smh)… Even better. ULTIMATE FOCUS is basically…wait for it… YOU STARRING AT PEOPLE WITH A SERIOUS FACE… Boooooom (drops mic and exits building leaving people still in shock)

I hear whisperings of a literary genius.

“This is so well done.”

This brings a smile to my face as I exit the building, and step into a swam of the press flanking me from all sides…

“tmaty! tmaty! Can we have a word”

I wave at them with a smile on my face.

“Not today.”

As I am about to enter my tinted-Rolls-Royce. I spot two kids. Twins. A girl and a boy standing in the chilli air.

I quickly take off my coat and wrap it around both their tiny frames.

"Where are your parents? "

“Here!”

I see a man and a woman, trying to push their faces through the swam of press.

“Take care of these little angels…and don’t worry about their tuition fees. It will be covered, from now till they are done with university”

I walk away before I get a response. Sliding in the back seat of my Rolls Royce.

“Reckless with money as ever, I see”

After saying her words my PR assistant offers me two glasses, one in each hand.

“Water or Whiskey?”

“Both”

I reply wondering what words she will have for me this time.
