(WIP) Heir of No Clan – A Legacy Lost, A Future Rewritten

Hosted Games Works In Progress

Long time lurker here, some of you might (hopefully) recall my odd comment. But I thought it high time to put my own hand to game making.

Genre: Historical Fantasy | Political Intrigue | Power Fantasy | Romance | Rebirth

You died.

You remember smoke. Fire. The scream of someone you failed.

And then… another world.

Reborn in the ashes of a destroyed noble clan, you awaken as the last living heir of House Yue — a family wiped from the empire’s memory. You are nameless. Landless. Powerless.

But not without ambition.

With strange memories, a hidden legacy, and a spark the world does not yet understand, you must navigate deadly court intrigue, wield politics and steel, and rebuild what was lost.

The empire does not forget blood. Nor does it forgive ambition.

Features:
•Play as male, female, or nonbinary with romance preference choices (men, women, both, or none)
•Choose your former life and how it influences your current soul
•Rebuild your family estate and political alliances from ruin
•Engage in branching stat-based duels, diplomacy, and deception
•Shape your legacy through Loyalty vs Ambition
•Early romantic tension with multiple noble figures
•Experience failure, scars, and possible death — not all paths are safe

Progress:
•Chapters 1–4 written, a couple placeholders at present for 3 and 4
•Chapter 5a/b in planning

Looking for feedback on the following please:
•Character voice and immersion
•Scene pacing and choice impact
•Suggestions for early political or estate scenes
•General tone, clarity, and replayability

Update: 26/05/25 First chapters reworked to hopefully flow better and increase replay value. Additionally I’ve added chapter 4 for a taster. Not 100% completed yet though.

Thanks Dragomer. Appreciate it. Was there anything you felt was too ‘skimmed over’ in terms of pacing?
I wanted to use what I’ve got so far as a sort of foundation arc but feedback is always welcome

Stops after the duel for me. Not sure if that is intended, but it seemed like less than a chapter.

The first few choices are a bit too close to each others pacing wise but otherwise it’s fine so far.

Yes unfortunately that’s the end of the demo. I haven’t put a placeholder ‘end screen’ up yet.

I’ve always struggled with pacing in all of my stories so having this feedback is good, thank you. I’ll see what I can to expand this without having lore dumps or things like that.

Interesting start! I’ll hold off from any feedback for now since there’s not a lot to comment on yet. But, very excited to see where this goes!

So I’m a great lover of the Infinity Series, Choice of Rebels and such, they offer such a great immersive player experience so I pray and hope I can create something that can stand alongside these epic adventures.

Yeah sorry about that, I’ve expanded and added stuff and have no idea what I’ve done to the script. I’ve attempted to move it to private so I can work on it after my ‘work hours’ but haven’t managed to fix it yet.
Bear with me please.

Okay everyone - I think, think, we should now be running without errors as things stand.
Not going to lie this was massively overwhelming and ChoiceScript, while wonderful, is very hard :man_facepalming::joy:

Hope you all enjoy what’s been cooking, I’ll expand my current placeholders before developing future chapters.

What are the names of the ROs both already implemented and planned? This concept seems interesting and as a big romance reader myself I’d like to know all the ROs if you don’t mind! :DD

Thanks for pointing this out, I’ll look into this on my next run through. Any other errors you come across please let me know

Currently we have the two Zhens, Ruomei and her brother and clan leader Wulin.
Additionally I have planned a male and female commoner so players have the option of going for nobility or commoner. Though these are yet to be named.
Jun was on the cards but I’m not confident they would be the best choice for romance, however potential ally, yes.
