I just uploaded the game on itch.io! I can't wait to finish chapter one! (I'm hoping soon. ๐)
Unshackled <- itch.io
Hello!
Quick update: The cold is gone, but I still have coughs, but they're manageable lol. Also, I finally finished my project and submitted it! Ahh freedom at last.
The second thing I want to talk about is that I finished most of the ROS portraits on artbreeder. I just need to write their info and the ROS will be finally done!
Now I'm taking a little break and playing totk. Off topic, I really want to buy RE4 the remake someday.
Once again, thank you everyone for the support!
wow! I read the demo and the writing is soo good!! and this is still the prologue! I wish you goodluck on the development of this IF๐
aww anon ๐ฅบ your words mean so much to me! as a perfectionist, I struggle to feel satisfied with my work even after finishing it.
thank you so much, this means a lot! And I canโt wait to hopefully share chapter one someday soon. :)
Does the King only falls in love with MC after the imprisonment or could he have been in love with them before?
Idk I feel like he's the kind of guy that'd definitely lock up the person he likes. Something like "Well, at least no one can steal you from me now". The joke would be on him tho, the demon did steal MC away lol
Anyway, loved the demo. Really liked that the chains also sustained MC, really interesting. Can't wait to see what comes next!
Looks like Aurelian's going to follow your advice to the letter ;)
and I've outlined some scenes where that might happen. You know anon you gave me an idea with the SC snagging MC. Now I want to write how will Aurelian react to that lol.
Regarding Aurelian romance path, you can choose whether you were past lovers or he develops feelings for MC later on.
Thanks for the feedback, by the way! I'm over the moon that you enjoyed it. <3
< avalon was once an isle of legend, now itโs a city of hell >
< AVALON CITY. 2087 >
fifty years after the worldโs radical takeover by an extremist group now known as the daughters of avalon, you awaken hooked up to a machine with fractured memories from a time that no longer exists.
the world you knew is gone and you are the power source for this new one.
you currently reside in the capital city governed by four sisters. they demand absolute obedience and dissenters are shown no mercy. itโs a dog-eat-dog world and no one is ever truly safe.
but that matters little to you now, all you know for certain is that you must escape. escape this machine, this facility, this city, this world. no matter the consequences.
< features >

-> three characters to romance. poly routes are also an option.

-> story driven.

LCOF is a +17 IF with heavy themes of murder, gore, cults, obsessive behavior, etc. Many run to Iona's Temple. Perhaps to escape hunger or the touch of death. You aren't sure why. No one is. All you know is that you're among them.
Play disguised as a Child of Iona, the moon Goddess' most faithful follower. Kept in the temple by day and let out to serve your duties by night. Navigate the mystical kingdom of Gilhanna.
Make rivals or friends; it's up to you. Or risk your life to pursue something more; you swore to remain devoted to Iona and Iona alone. Above all, stay hidden!
You knew it was wrong. When your father let you attend the Feast of Xihnir, you knew something would happen. And it was a night you will never forget after witnessing the Divine Lord slaughter your father like a lamb. Since then, you've learned how deep Xihnir's murderous and twisted fascination with you goes.
Fleeing to the neighboring kingdom, Gilhanna, you find a place to escape the pursuits of your father's killer. Hoping to find peace while masked as a Child of Iona. You've enjoyed seven years of peace now. You're sure more is still to come.
Yet, the sudden appearance of a wounded stranger threatens to uncover your secret while talk of encroaching armies praying upon Gilhannian borders grows rapid.
You can't let yourself be reduced to running, hiding โ surviving. Nor will you allow yourself to be caught in Xihnir's crooked grasp. Will you give up the identity of this mysterious stranger to protect your own?
Customizable appearance, personality, gender identity, and sexuality.
Choose a given trade/skill to influence your character's nature and story! (i.e., swordsman, musician, scholar, weaver, dancer, or merchant.)
Hone your skills!
You can become a genuine follower of Iona or exploit this exalted position for your own gain.
Meaningful choices that affect your future and the people around you.
Forge strong allies and friendships or begrudging enemies.
Eight ROs totalโ two secret romances. (one minor, one major)
XHILO โง XOLA [m/f] Your companion with a short temper and an even shorter attention span. You found them cowering in an alley the night you left and have been hiding from Xihnir's forces together since then. Meek and quiet but sometimes has a lot to say. Extremely suspicious and distrusting of newcomers. You think they may still be a bit wary of you.
SILAS โง SHILA [m/f] The mean-spirited shepherd who works with you in the temple. At one point, you both were friends, though you're not sure what made them act so cold towards you. Though, that time is very distant. However, one thing hasn't changed: their love of their flock and slightly awkward disposition around new groups of people.
KNOX โง KORA [m/f] "Eccentric," as the townspeople like to put it. You've only seen them keep to themselves; they're never seen without a notebook. In daylight, their face is tired and worn. You catch them sneaking over the temple walls at night as if hiding one big secret. Some nights, you catch them singing beautiful melodies before running away after they sense someone's listening.
CROWN PRINCE LIROY โง CROWN PRINCESS SHYLA [m/f] Emperor and Empress Jung's firstborn. They are known throughout the kingdom as the epitome of sophistication and stoicism. You don't know much about the Crowned Heir except their duties to the country come first, and they hold them quite dear. A bit too dear.
PRINCESS DELILAH โง PRINCE DION [m/f] The royal Jung's second born. A soft but refined beauty. Most remember them for their carefree and childish behavior. "Iona's dancing muse," some may say. You've only seen them dance once when you first came to Gilhanna. Beautiful, hypnotic. You believe they are everything the people say they are.
PRINCE CLEMENTINE โง PRINCESS CLEMENT [m/f] The youngest of the Jung siblings. You haven't heard about them in all your seven years in Gilhanna. Nor are they mentioned among the people.
โง ??
a mysterious stranger who showed up at your door, along with their dangerous secrets.
โง ???
To them, you're nothing but a traitor to your kind.
