This is a beta thread for my work in progress horror story, Meteoric.
Summary:
You get fired from your job. Then your car breaks down. On the walk home, you nearly get hit by a meteor. You find a spirit possessing a microphone inside. He wants to make you a rich, famous musician.
Dark magic quickly proves effective in gaining fame and fortune in the death metal music industry, but like any other deal with a devil, you must supply a tribute of flesh. What’s more, you soon discover firsthand that the industry’s regular demons are very real.
Meteoric is an epic horror novel by Sam Young, where your choices control the story. It’s entirely text-based, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
- Play as male, female, or non-binary; romance men, women, both, or no one at all.
- Romance a charismatic bassist, a tough guitarist, a thoughtful guitarist, or a mysterious drummer.
- Reap all the benefits the influence of a magical microphone can conjure, and suffer the consequences, or try to resist the temptation.
What and who will you sacrifice to achieve fame, fortune, love, and revenge?
What sort of feedback am I looking for?
- Any constructive criticism or opinions about the characters, plot, pacing, narrative, game-play, stat balancing, etc, is very helpful.
- Pointing out typos and bugs is invaluable. Context helps a lot in identifying these errors, so be specific if you can.
Theme: modern life creates horrors that even success can’t help you escape from, but good friends make life worth living
