Story

You are a young adult adrift in life, suffocating under the yolk of your oppressive society and relationships. Feeling out of sync with the rest of the world, you are looking for connection, freedom, a change of scenery at the very least.

You find it in the form of a long-lost city, calling out to you across space and time. Something is beckoning underneath the city’s glimmering white tiles, something ancient and powerful.

Will you resist the call beyond the veil and its seductive promises, or will you embrace the path destiny has set out before you?

A world not your own lies ahead.

Features

· Play as cis male or female, trans male or female, or non-binary—with options to be straight, gay, or bisexual.

· Find romance with two different supernatural companions, either individually or in a polyamorous triad.

· Rich in lore and set in the same world as The Soul Stone War , long after the Battle for the Soul Stones is resolved.

· Overcome the crippling anxiety, depression, and hopelessness of your home life and forge a new path for yourself.

· A story of coming into one’s truest, authentic self, focused on overcoming demons that come both from within and without.

· The story is romance-centric, and as such, there will be no friendship-focused routes. The two romanceable characters can be either male or female—you get to decide which.

Warnings

The main character starts out depressed, anxious and trapped in an unhealthy environment. Later on, the game will contain adult themes, explicit adult content (which as always can be skipped), and brief mentions of suicidal ideation. At that point, the demo will be moved to the adult section.

The romanceable companions:

There will be two companions that the MC can romance in this game, either individually or in a polyamorous triad.

Zach is a cynic with a dry sense of humor, and they somehow always show up when the MC least expects them. Confident and easy-going, Zach fiercely is loyal if you prove that you deserve their dedication.

Cy is a strong-willed but grim individual who is completely oblivious to humor. Any attempt to joke with them will fall flat, but they make up for it with their passion for life and everything in it. Stubborn and territorial, Cy will do whatever it takes to draw the MC to them.

The game is romance-focused for story reasons, and as such, there will be no content that is focused solely on friendship.

The game will feature many, MANY small chapters, and that will allow me to update it frequently. Timeline-wise, the game is set after The Soul Stone War series but BEFORE the series that will come after.

Cheers!

There it is!! Go have a read everyone.

Glad to be working on another great project with such an amazing author <3

Beyond The Mist: Beginnings (Demo) by Intimidating Puffin Studios
itch.io
A visual novel/interactive fiction game set in a world of magic, horror, and intrigue!

You are a young adult adrift in life, suffocating under the yolk of your oppressive parents. Feeling out of sync with the rest of the world, you yearn for freedom and life beyond the bounds of your prison.

You find it in the form of a ravishing stranger and a long lost city, calling out to you across space and time. Something is beckoning underneath the ancient city's glimmering white tiles, something old and powerful. Someone.

Will you resist the call beyond the veil and the promise of belonging it brings, or will you let yourself go and embrace the path destiny has set before you?

The choice is yours. Magnustor is waiting for you.

Features

2 romance options that can either be male or female (player can choose the gender of both).

3 different romance routes; 2 monogamous ones or 1 polyamorous one  (a triad between the player and both romance options).

Romance and customization focused narrative; you can play as straight, gay, or bi and as cisgender, transgender, or nonbinary.

(4?) different endings.

Set in the same universe as The Soul Stone War.
