Gildedgrimoires - Under Construction

You are the first child of the Florinius family, your birth had predestined you to become the next ruler of H'afeara. But it has been ten long years since the war between the Empire of Aea had declared war upon your home. Ten years fighting to keep your kingdom’s independence- for your chance to rule- only for it to ripped away from you. And it’s your own fault.

You had one more charge to lead against Aean forces, and you had lost that battle. Losing was no stranger to you, but none had been thorough and devastating. This loss had ended with you being taken as a prisoner of war, and the end of the war soon followed.

Now you are “free”, a welcomed “guest” in the Aean court.  Being executed would have been a fairer fate.

☾. IF DEMO ANNOUNCEMENT

Hi everyone!

I'm so excited to announce that part 1 of the Memento Mori Demo will be available on Itch.io starting on:

Friday, August 4th at 6:00pm EST. ♡︎

At the moment, the prologue is ~9,000 words including all branching choice variations.

For anyone that is new here, Memento Mori is a 18+ interactive fiction game that is best suited for the genres of sci-fi, romance, and horror. Wrecked and ravaged by an alien invasion, Earth is on the brink of war. War with who? That is yet to be determined, as no one knows who is the predator, and who is the prey.

Developing the world, characters, romance options, and main character for this story has been so much fun; I hope the love I've poured into part 1 of the demo shines through for each and every one of you.

On Friday, Aug 4, I'll post a link here to the demo and add it to my intro post (which I will link here: Memento Mori Intro Post)

Thank you to everyone that has shown me the most heartwarming support, from the bottom of my heart I appreciate you! ☾.

All my love,

Cheye

DEMO [To be announced...]

Finally, I look up at the looming prison ahead of me. High, black-stoned walls are covered in ice and snow while two high spires jut into the clouds on the farthest corners. It’s huge, and seems to go on forever- but that thought only makes me tremble in fear. An endless place of pain and torture, and we are walking right towards it…

The gates slowly open, metal screeching and clunking as the frozen chains work to pull the heavy iron. There are 6 guards lined up outside the gates, their hands on their weapons as if any of us would try and step out of line. 

We all shamble into the outer courtyard; the centerpiece, of which, is a dark gray statue of the twin Goddess and God, Ruka and Rune. They stare down at us with matching expressions of hardened acceptance… an acceptance that we defiled their world with use of magic, that which only they can use.

You were ripped away from your home, your life- all because you were accused of using magic. Sent away on carriages, bursting full of others like you, being brought to Kenneski Prison. It’s a prison made specifically to hold those that can wield magic, making it so you are powerless. It’s a death sentence for most that go there. 

But not for you.

[[Kenneski is an 18+ interactive fiction that takes place in an ancient, fantasy world. Content warnings will be available before each chapter.]]

In this IF, you can find...

Customizable MC; including name, pronouns, appearance, and more.

4 [?] ROs

Mysteries about the world, some of which you can help solve

A prison escape! Whether it's successful or not is depending on your choices...

Multiple endings, many branching paths, and choices that are life or death.

Fantasy religion, fantasy politics... all that fun stuff

Romantic options...

Halson ‘Hal’ Bennett [Male] 29 years old Height- 6’2’’ Eye/c- Icy blue Hair/c- Dark brown INFO- Hal is not only known for being a magic user- but one who uses dark magic. More specifically, necromancy. He is from a noble family, and it is definitely strange that his family didn't bother with the accusations against him. He claims there was a reason he was learning about necromancy, but he never actually performed any of its rituals. He is kind, but can sometimes have an ‘air of nobility’ about himself, and he seems to be rather useless when it comes to knowledge about some everyday things. [Like- things that his servants usually did for him.]

Sazora Clarano [Female] 25 years old Height- 5’5’’ Eye/c- Dark brown- glows white/lavender when she uses her magic Hair/c- Black INFO- Sazora is a thief from the major city of Evandore. She belongs to a guild of thieves named The Fulgur Clan. She was caught when a heist went wrong, and she was caught while using her speciality- lightning magic. Although lightning magic is really difficult to control, she has somehow mastered it enough for it all to work in her favor. Until she’s collared at Kenneski prison. But her magic isn’t the only thing she’s mastered- she was a thief for a reason. She’s smart and cunning, sly like a fox, but she does sometimes let her temper get the best of her. 

Roman Silok [Male] 24 years old Height- 6’5’’ Eye/c- Hazel Hair/c- Dusty blonde INFO- Roman is a guard at Kenneski Prison. He was forced to join the guard when he turned 18 by his father, when he refused to take on the family butcher business. He’s a kind soul, and doesn’t want to hurt anybody. He believes that what the Kenneski officials are doing to magic users is wrong, and wants to put a stop to it. He’s huge- both height and width wise because of his muscles. He’s very intimidating- until you get to know him, that is.   

Nephinae Wylder [Female] 30 years old Height- 5’10’’ Eye/c- Amber Hair/c- Pale blonde INFO- Nephinae is one of the head magisters in Kenneski Prison. She’s rather daunting, tall and quiet and mysterious. Her father is the head priest of The Church, the same church that is imprisoning 'magic users'. And although she is technically walking in her father's footsteps, she wants to do what is right, knowing that what is happening to magic users is not it. There is something else about her, as well, something that tells you there is more you need to learn about her that you just aren’t able to in the prison.
