the Starborn, Sunborn and Moonborn, children of the wild blue yonder. hunted, wanted dead. but why?
by the tales, you three are someones who were waited for since ancient times, when Delys' nations were at war. they believed you could save them from despair; from the anger of the Red God.
now you are being chased by the Eye of the Rising Sun, an organization that desperately wants you dead. you would believe that the Red God already has his pawns, however you can't help but feel that there is more to this story.
the void within you answers to your thoughts, longing for something that is awaiting to be claimed.

some nights, they fall onto their knees beside their bed, praying for a road to walk on. murmuring their mistakes, the bleeding hearts they tore apart, begging for forgiveness.
they aren't the same anymore, everyone knows that, but you don't. you saw just one side of the moon.
and so did them.
[romancable by any MC]
even if healed, the memories are as sharp as a blade, glinting in the sun. the metal is hot, the light too intense, the iron is bending.
but to what form?
finally, they step out of the light, watching two shapes from afar.
a hand sits on their shoulder. no glance is needed, they know her touch.
a silent promise blooms beside their heart. "the sun will raise it strong."
[romancable by female or non-binary MCs]
bloodline is dutiful, every step she takes is for the sake of it.
the words she speaks are old like a dusty vinyl record, however, now a beat is missing from the melody that awokes a question inside of her; long known, but never heard.
she grips the record, hiding it in a drawer. afraid of it, but never disposing of it.
it waits for her.
[romancable by any MC]
the past always stays with him, chaining his resentment to himself — it's a burden that survival craves.
only he has the key to free himself, but it unlocks a cage too; an ornated one. for him, there is no treasure, but he knows it should be open.
cursing under his breath, he wishes upon the sky.

(i will update this list later and it can be found within the game. if you think of something that can be added, free feel to send a message or an ask! <3)

What was supposed to be a simple job has spiraled into something far greater than you. After receiving a strange, gut-wrenching message from your brother, you embark on a journey through space on an old ship, alongside wanted criminals.

But not everything is as it seems, and it looks like you may have accidentally started a revolution.

the time has come, there is no looking back after you:
had an existential crisis,
almost died,
kidnapped someone,
and met with your childhood best friend.
certainly, the stars aren't with you today.
I made a moodboard for my MC from @milaswriting beautiful work, Golden.
Agnes Sinclair is a Psychology student who love music.
You do not remember how you awaken, nor how you came to be in this world. All you remember is a blurry outline of a face, and a single name bestowed upon you. And that you are different from the rest of them, no matter how much you try to blend in.
Red Moon is inspired by a popular Filipino myth, with splashes of horror and romance.
Customize your character’s name, pronouns, and gender.
Build romance and friendship with varied cast of characters.
Discover who you are and your purpose.
Elias (M) - Handsome and charming, Elias moves with an otherworldly grace not belonging to that of a human. He is friendly and playful, but beneath that facade is someone who has mastered the art of deception.
Simon (M) - Brash and fearless, Simon comes from a family of farmers. He is humble, helpful to those in need, but beneath that lies an anger you could not seem to understand.
Isabela (F) - Isabela is one of Elias’s companions. Like him, she is graceful and charming, using her looks to get what she wants, but beneath that facade lies an air of mystery no one is able to read.
Clara/Crisostomo (M/F) - They are kind and friendly, with a desire to enjoy life’s simple pleasures. They live on a small farm in the outskirts of town, out of sight, away from everything.
DEMO LINK (TBA!)
Nai has brought to my attention that there’s been some stuff going on with horrible messages being sent to other interactive fiction authors and it has something to do with Wayhaven.
I don’t look at social media except to answer asks, so I haven’t been up to date with what’s happening at all but Nai’s tried to explain it as best as she can.
I absolutely cannot stand the idea that my work, my passion, is being used as an excuse to send hate to other people! Why? Why would anyone send horrible messages ever, for any excuse?
Creators are putting their hearts out there through their work. They are laying themselves bare. How dare anyone treat anyone brave enough to do that in this deplorable way.
Just no.
There’s no excuse for being horrible. Ever. Bullying should never be tolerated.
I do not tolerate it.
Six months and 66,290 extra words later (gosh, it really took that long!), here's the updated demo of Golden: Book One!

Synopsis of the update.
The relationship with your parents, a robbery, the press, and the mention of an old friend... or old foe... or old flame. The big city really has it all planned out for you; throw four supernaturals into the mix, well; maybe a degree won't be the only thing on your mind.

Extra notes.
This is a new link to the demo, so, everything is brand new - your old saves won't be there. But, with the amount of reworking I did throughout the whole demo, I would've recommended playing from the beginning, anyway.
~
A lot of hard work has gone into this story nonstop over the past six months, so I hope this is an enjoyable read for you all - tell me what you think! Your opinions are really appreciated. Take care and have a brilliant week <3.
This is the very first demo of The King’s Hound, you will be able to pley the first half of the first chapter for a rough estimate of 10k words plus the character creator.
The UI is very temporary, I definitely plan on refining it in the future, as well as adding the ROs profiles, a codex and a character page. In the meantime, start your adventure as Arthur’s Royal Consort and interact with the first RO.
Note: the game is NOT implemented to run on moble, so please bear with me and play it on browser. I will fix this issue in the next update!
