You were born as a Gibyun, a mutated humanoid species created from the radiation from the Red War. Your features, standard to most of your fellowmen such as having multiple limbs and a crystalline like object growing on your forehead, are regarded with awe by the humans. Unfortunately for your species, some of the humans are too fascinated with your kind, and some of them hire hunters to extract the most valuable thing on your person: the gem on your head.
As the eldest child, you work in the Elk Bone Canyon to help out with the familyâs financial troubles. Deep into work one quiet evening, a mysterious figure appeared out of nowhere and shot you on the head. You awoke (miraculously) a week later in a clinic, with your gem stolen. Itâs up to you to take it back and find out whoever did this to you while exploring the harsh lands of Arlika, taking odd jobs to gather gold for your family, try to send your youngest brother back home who wouldnât stop following you, or just say âfeck itâ and return back home to resume your regular life.
Features:
- Customizable character. Have more than two eyes, arms, or even have a tail if you so wish!
- Play as Male, Female, Non-binary
- Explore Arlika, find treasures, battle mutated monsters, become a notable figure or an infamous one
- Be a Scavenger of old technologies, Merchant to sell and trade the knickknacks you collect, Bounty Hunter and hunt down dangerous beasts or just resume your regular life and pretend nothing had happened
- Raise your youngest brother to become a good boi and help you in your adventure, or to be a hell raiser and let him create chaos wherever he goes.
- If you happen to have the same name as an NPC, then hey, extra dialogues for you! (Applicable to non-romance-able NPCs only)
- Play matchmaker to your best friend! (Or not, thatâs okay!) A little nudge and words of encouragement can help them foster relationship with their own crush, and youâre here to help.
- 5 ROs so far.
Disclaimer
- English is not my first language, so I apologize for grammatical errors and some writings that donât exactly hit its intended message. Please donât hesitate to send corrections, it will be a great help!
- Iâm not sure if there will be sexy romance scenes. The best sexy romance I could write is fanfiction levels of erotica.
- I have to deal with school, so updates will be irregular. Though Iâll try to make it once a month or as close to that.
Trigger Warnings
- Strong language, though it wonât be frequent. Just a sprinkle here and there (and Iâll even toss in a few strong languages of my country to teach you some new words
) - Violence (Fight scenes will be detailed)
NPCs
-
Your father, Anthony â A tired man who constantly needs to look out for his 9 children. Well, 8, since youâre old enough to handle your own. 7, if you include your youngest brother in your adventure.
-
Wren â Your youngest hyperactive brother, who not only acts like a little dog, but trainable like one too!
-
Arc â Ardenâs unofficial parental figure. He may have the mouth of a sailorâs, and thirst for gold too, but he has a heart of gold as well. Kidding. He only cares about money and Arden.
ROs
- Noelleon, Victor, and Olivia will be available as early as Chapter 1
- Quintin and Arden will be introduced at Chapter 3, so for now not much info will be revealed (sorry everyone, I have to!)
- Two more ROâs is currently being written.
Noel / Leon (F or M)
âReally? 15 years of friendship and suffering together down the drain because someone scooped your forehead off? Um, no.â
Your co-worker who claims to be your childhood best friend, whoâs eager to get you your memories back. Whether you yourself like it or not.
Like you, theyâre a Gibyun; Curly white hair that covers their round, orange gem, 6 arms, 3 eyes, and ton of sass.
Victor (M)(Noelleon's crush
âIsnât it amusing how hamsters eat their own young in the guise of survival? No? Just me? OhâŚokay.â
A shy son of a merchant, who struggles with the family business. He dislikes engaging with customers, and prefers he does the financing part instead.
Often seen wearing sweaters two sizes larger than him (no matter how hot the weather is), he sports raven black hair, grey eyes, and pale skin that goes paler whenever he meets new people. Except Olivia. The two are close enough for Victor to be his fascinated-with-death self.
Olivia (F)(Noelleon's crush)
âIt was fairly disturbing the first time you told me, Vickie. Spare me your fantasies with death.â
A former Red Bone Walker turned hard ass mercenary who is hired by Victorâs family to be their bodyguard. Sometimes play as Victorâs tormentor because she loves spilling his weird secrets for fun.
Her face still bears the Red Bone Walker mark, two faded crimson lines from her neck up to her left cheek. She hides it with a face mask, keeping her brunette hair long and never tied to help mask it. She has green eyes, deep brown skin and loves leather overcoats.
Quintin (M)
- Quintin â (M) A scar-faced farmer who had run-ins with Arc and a couple of Red Bone Walkers
Arden (NB)
- Arden â (NB) A trainee under a hired Bounty Hunter tasked to collect Gibyun gems who may or may not be the one responsible for your gunshot wound.

Greetings!
Itâs ya boi, Broccoli. Hey, thanks to yâall for taking interest in the game. I just made this little thing here to distract me in life, and hopefully, this little thing would become into something spectacular! Iâm gonna say this right now, that progress here would be slow. Yeah, Iâll be updating by once a month, but Iâm sure it would be just tiny ones, and not really that game changing. If you guys hunger for more, just let me know and Iâll let my human writer know. (I could do it myself, but alas, the limitations of a broccoli hampers progress.)
Yaâll really warm my heart because you took a liking to this game! And now, Prologue is released yay!
Anyways, feedback is a valuable thing! If you guys think thereâs something you want to be added, changed or deleted in the game, donât hesitate and let me know!
Love ya, ya magnificent creature!
Sincerely, with smooches,
Broccoli V. Vegetable
