Throne Of Blood And Roses (WIP)

Hello, Everyone I’m here to announce my first WIP game Throne Of Blood And Roses. This Project of mine is inspired by The Odessa Dating Games. In my story, you play a nobody. A commoner with no fame, no title, barely enough money to your name, and no place among the elite. So when the royal heir of Eden refused their arranged marriage to Cain/Delilah/judas Vale a powerful noble born in Eden to rule beside them the kingdom’s fragile court began to crumble.

In a desperate attempt to restore order, King Aldric invoked an ancient law:

“When the heir’s heart falters, the will of Eden shall decide, the Selection Trials shall now commence!”

The Selection Trials were never meant for people like you.

They were designed for nobles who bleed twenty-four-karat gold, for silver-tongued celebrities, for elite Soldiers. Ten contestants were handpicked to compete for the heir’s hand for this televised spectacle of charm, power, performance… and has just enough blood to keep the ratings high.

And then, without warning, they chose you.

A name no one recognized. From a place no one speaks of unless they’re trying to scare their children. No titles. No alliances. No legacy.

No one knows why your name was called.

The nobles despise you for it.
The rival wants you erased.

And the heir?

They can’t take their eyes off you.

P.S There’s a yandere mode for the heir This optional feature reveals a more dangerous, obsessive version of the Heir. When enabled, it includes:

  • Unique dialogue and reactions

  • Darker heir point-of-view scenes

  • Psychological tension and twisted devotion

Once turned on, it remains on for the whole story.

Other Features Include:

  • Play as a man, female, or nonbinary
  • Date anyone of the Romance options your heart desires
  • Shape the Personality of not just your character but the Heir as well
  • Try and win the Heir’s heart and hand in marriage by winning the trials

Currently it’s about (1 Chapter, 104,712 Words)

To play the demo, Go Here: I hope you like it

I also have a tumblr for the game as well if you would like to follow updates for it I also like to answers questions you guys have about it. i also would love to get feedback on it and I’m not opposed to suggestions.

Romance Options
  • The Heir of Eden Age: 23 | Gender & Appearance: Customizable The kingdom watches their every step. Perfect posture. Perfect smile. A perfect lie. The Heir is the only child of the royal line raised in isolation, sheltered behind palace walls, and molded into an icon. They’ve never set foot beyond the castle gates. Not until now. Their rejection of a marriage sparked the Trials, shaking the kingdom’s order. In public, they play their part. But in private, the mask slips. And when their eyes find you, it is not for politics this time.

  • Elias / Elara Kane Age: 26 | Gender: Selectable | Appearance: Deep brown skin, strong frame, close-cropped or braided hair, unreadable eyes. A soldier at heart, Elias/Elara didn’t come to win a crown. They came because they were ordered to. Quiet, loyal, and focused until you break their routine.

  • Phoenix “Nix” Vega Age: 25 | Pronouns: They/Them | Appearance: Sun-bronzed skin, bright green eyes, wild red-black curls, piercings and a sharp grin. They live for the spotlight—and the chaos just behind it. Nix walks into every room like they own it, flirt with danger. They came for attention. But something tell you there is more to them then they let on.

  • Vivian / Vincent Sinclair Age: 24 | Gender: Selectable | Appearance: Pale, platinum-blond hair, silver-gray eyes, tailored style and colder smiles. Sinclair always plays the long game. Every move is calculated. Every word, intentional. They don’t fall easily trust is a currency they rarely spend. But then you appeared. Unexpected. Unaccounted for. And somehow, you make them unsure of their next move.

Other Key Chracters
  • Cain (male)/ Delilah (female)/ Judas (nonbinary) Vale Age: 23 | Gender: player’s choice | Appearance: Pale skin, sleek black hair, frozen blue eyes, perfectly controlled posture. They were supposed to be the one. Groomed since birth to stand beside the Heir, Cain/ Delilah/ judas’s rejection shattered their image—and their pride. They smile like royalty and speak with venom. Your presence is an insult they won’t forget.

  • Alexis Age: 24 | Gender: Same as the Heir | Appearance: Olive-toned skin, soft dark eyes, Hair pulled into a ponytail, simple but elegant fashion. Alexis has known the Heir since childhood. Loyal, but not blind. Affectionate, but never unguarded. They care deeply—for the person beneath the crown, not the title itself. If you’re good for the Heir, they’ll protect you without question. If you’re not? They’ll make sure you don’t get the chance to become a problem for them.

  • Queen Lysandra Castellan Age: Early 40s | Appearance: Same skin tone as the Heir, hazel eyes, chestnut-brown hair pinned in golden filigree. | Elegant, sharp, and politically lethal. Lysandra rules with silk and steel. She knows her child’s heart better than anyone—but she also knows the court won’t spare it. She watches you closely. She may see more in you than you expect.

  • King Aldric Castellan Age: Mid-40s | Appearance: Dark brown skin, steel-gray eyes, silver-streaked black hair, posture that never wavers | A man forged by discipline and bound by legacy. The Trials were his solution not to find love, but to preserve the crown. He speaks rarely, but when he does, the kingdom listens. Earn his respect, and you might shape history. Fail to, and you won’t even be remembered.

  • Selene Age: Late 40s Appearance: Same skin tone as MC, thick silver-streaked curls, tired hands and a steady gaze. Selene is your mother—and survival has always been her only ask. She’s lived long enough to know what the world does to people who doesn’t stay in their lane. Her love is steady, her words plain, and her worry never disguised. She doesn’t promise safety. She promises truth. And she’ll never stop fighting to keep you safe.

  • Mira Age: 16 Appearance: Same skin tone as MC, dark expressive eyes, long hair in a messy bun, combat boots and rebellion. Mira is your sister—your shadow and your spark.
    She looks up to you, even when she’s teasing, even when she’s angry. Loud, loyal to a fault, and always ready to throw herself into a fight if it means protecting you.

Playing nobody? Sorry but I’m nobody in real life, I don’t need that in IF game either :disappointed_face: I’d rather play Heir…

Personally to the MC, I wouldn’t let what the boss said about there sister and mother slide, I would of thrown hands if my boss said that about my family

thanks for me telling i’m getting right on it

it should be fixed now

Good luck on working on this! The hardest part of these is keeping going.

I think the writing and pacing so far is good.

I like the Yandere heir option, I think it was a good touch.

Not enough for me to give too much other feedback.

You may have already answered this question but will all story significant responses have the option of being Nice, Flirty etc.? Or is that just for beginning of the game stat building?

Yes they will

It’s refreshing to be a nobody in a choice game like this. No titles, fame, money or anything. It’s a breath of fresh air so I’m willing to try this game. It’s sounds like it’s gonna be difficult to reject being the heirs partner if u want one of the other people instead without backlash

You got me at yandere mode, I’m going to try this out. Playing toxic romance once in a while is refreshing especially in cog.

Okay I just finished playing with yandere mode on, and you can really feel the tension. I’m hoping the heir and mc can match each other’s freak.

I’m going to go full on “I can fix them” for the yandere mode

I know that some authors add the code to their word count, so it’s probably a combination of is actually written and the code itself
