Forgive me, I had no intention on labeling gay people that way, it has more to do with the fact they are bandits. I’ll fix that soon😃
Edit: I fixed it

Ripples of blood
The murders of San Kiara remains to be one of Hydaria’s unsolved problems. No law enforcers seem competent enough to solve. Month to month, the number of people who wind up dead increases, from ladies to lords, women to men. The murders does not discriminate anybody safe for children who fortunately were not targeted.
You on the other hand, could not care less about the murders. Your father disowned you. Your mother still missing. Your body as busy as an hectic street trying to survive. And yet, you find yourself in that very cursed city. Where everything begins and ends.

When your journey for truth led you to the town of San Kiara. You’ve heard that sound before. That hurtful, ear piercing scream. Like the screams of a stranded whale, capturing you by the neck.It won’t let you go. Why won’t it let you go?
This möbius of murder.

A scene involving human trafficking
RO selection
As of now there are 6 definite RO, and one RO I’m still considering whether to make into an npc or not.
The definite ROS are the following:
Osric Ashbrook [M]
Golden retriever. Gentle. Nice RO.
You meet Osric on the night you are kidnapped, and ever since, Osric has been a brother figure to you. He is one of the few people you can trust with your life, honest, gentle, yet without his own complications. But above all, he is sincere.
Louisa Grimaldi [F]
Black cat. Manipulative. Red flag.
Louisa is your childhood friend, however, the divide between your social status, with hers one tier higher causes a strain in between your relationship. It does not help that her family is deeply involved in the dark den (like black market). For guy pc, Louisa never considers marrying you, instead pursuing Hamlin, yet she cannot hide her attraction towards you (depends on choices), even going as far as consenting to her suitor’s assassination (depends on choice). Beware romancing her, as she would not hesitate to cut you off for benefits.
Hamlin Davenport [M]
Tsundere. Difficult. Red flag.
Interestingly enough, Hamlin is the suitor Louisa considers marrying. You can meet Hamlin in multiple instances, changing the dynamics between you two. He is the duke of Osborne, the best way to describe his love language is empty, or at best fickle (depends on choices).
Anika [F]
Golden retriever. Warm. High morality.
Anika is a member of the rebellion, you can meet her in multiple instances and change the dynamics between the two of her. Her personality best resembles Osric, with the difference that her morality is more black and white than Osric’s. She is one of the more dynamic characters in this wip.
Enforcer Morcant [M]
Stern, callous. Detached friendliness. Highly ordered.
An enforcer that came to investigate the disappearance of your mother, and her recorded visit to the rumored city of San Kiara where multiple murders are happening. He appears amiable and courteous on the surface, but your interactions with him tells you, his core is not at all that gentle.
Eira [F]
Corrupt, frank, red flag.
Lover of money and anything precious. She was the one who trafficked you after your father threw you away.
Sanchia F
Coy, gentle, manipulative, fickle
A girl you rescued on the road from a group of vile men, she tags along on your journey, as she does not possess a temporary home or job having been abandoned by her family. Much like how your father abandoned you.
XXX [M]
Length of demo
Currently it’s about (15%, Chapter 3 under construction), 75 k Words (without code) done, and I plan on updating every two weeks.
Update 2.1
Started working on route to San Kiara (branch with Osric, without Anika), everything else still ends at the escape scene.Speak about anything! Whether you like the game, if the pacing is off or not, about RO. Which RO should have more screen time. Criticism is welcomed too! I just want to know if interest in this game is still alive or not.

Interesting read, I’m intrigued by the mystery and what will happen next. Though some parts are confusing maybe because I’m not a native English speaker.
“That’s true, verwood, it does not matter, so, shall we break our reputation for the sake of friendship and visit the dark den?” Louisa questioned, her glove nearly bitten by the narrowed flamenco red lips. Instead of being aroused, you shivered, how long would she continue to play games like this around you? - MC’s surname is in lower case (same problem on the stats page). Also I don’t understant why MC should be aroused or shivered?
When I choose why MC didn’t go to the den:
You absolutely loathe such despicable perversion of the human life. [Set major influence - Care for human dignity." [ Your major influence is Order] - I think something went wrong here.
On the meeting with enforcer Morcant: I chose two options to get information, MC and Morcant spoke civilly but then I’m left with rude and antagonistic choices:
“Test the rigidness of his steely exterior
Pick a fight with him”
I don’t understant why MC is suddenly so angry with Morcant and why there are no civil choices or even choices to show interest in him or flirt (he is RO, right?).
Osric wiped away his tears, his white sleeves- which frayed with wear and tear betrayed none of your knowledge of how long he’s been captured. - Osric is described wearing only collar and pants, so no sleeves.
Next part was very confusing (like sudden teleportation from forest to street) but then I’ve read that it is still under construction

First of all, I want to thank you for the useful feedback!
I’ll fix the aforementioned parts.
As for the point about enforcer Morcant, under test the rigidity of his steely exterior there is a rather civil option, you see it divides further into three options, but, I’ll add another option to avoid miss understandings
I checked the code, turns out I forgot to add *set maji (major influence) 1, so it automatically gets carried over to 2 which is order.
This was actually really great, since I tried to find the sleeves bit to erase but got lost in the code🥲 Thanks for reminding me.
The altered version should be up in 12-30 hours☺️
I’ll smoothen the encounter too.
And to clarify, yes, enforcer Morcant is an RO available to both genders.

May I ask, what option you chose when escaping the bandits?
Hide in a cave with Osric
I saw those three options but I feel the first one (while is not that extreme like the other two) is still rude. I don’t want to antogonize one of MC’s potential ROs.

I understand your concerns, I am currently editing the game to widen the scope of interactions, adding in a flirt option (divided into 3) and civil interaction (divided into 2 or 3 options).
I’ll check the transition scene.
Have a good day/ night, and God bless.

I come with a piece of news that might feel particularly unpleasant for some…. I’m making this game straight. Yes. You read that right. I’m making this game straight. All of you gays are worth loving, it has nothing to do with you, nothing to do with what or how you are. Please don’t take this as a rejection.
The reason why I’m doing this, is my faith as a Christian. Old time players might realize me going back and forth altering the code making characters straight then bi then straight. I’m not enforcing my religion or beliefs on you, but I’m afraid I might cause certain people to be more in love with that choice.
Truth be told, I really was going to be making the characters bi, bendable and gay. But, the longer I go on, the more I feel regretful.
Once again I apologize, there still will be friendship routes, but if you’re fixated on romance, another game might be better. Please don’t take this as a rejection. All of you are worth loving, and precious. It’s not you, but me.

There’s absolutely nothing to apologise for! If you’re not comfortable writing gay romances, then that’s totally fine. It’s the same with the author of Aura Clash.
