A new interactive fiction novel, Kitsune, written by Thom Baylay and published by Hosted Games, is available now! The author has previously worked on the Evertree Saga and The Grim and I.
Kitsune is a 300,000-word story about love, lies, and foxes.
This new interactive fiction novel is developed using ChoiceScript. It’s a simple programming language used for all of Hosted Games, Choice of Games, and Heart’s Choice titles.
This game places you in the role of a person whose life is ‘unremarkable. ‘ You have a boring job, one sort-of-friend, and a sad single bedroom apartment that no one else ever sees.
Everything is painfully boring except for the fact that every night you have a dream… A dream where a mysterious stranger visits you in the dead of night.
One day, you come home to find the dream-stranger is in your apartment, injured, and seeking help. Below is an excerpt of the premise and features from its Steam store page.
Many a fox grows grey but few grow good, and this one has taken a shine to you. How will you react when an agent of chaos enters your mundane life? Will you embrace the opportunity to mix things up or try to maintain some semblance of control? Will you let a supernatural spirit aid you in a divine quest for meaning or will you suspect everyone’s motives and seek the truth behind the extraordinary?
- Step into a mundane life and watch it transform into something magical.
- Uncover the mystery of the one who’s been haunting your dreams.
- Learn the shocking truths amidst the lies.
- Romance your best friend, a company royal or your mother’s nurse—or focus on your mysterious dream-stranger.
- Discover who you really are or lose yourself along the way.
- Play as male, female or nonbinary.
- Play as gay, straight, bisexual or asexual.
Only you know how to live your life, but who even are you? Get ready to go on a journey of self-discovery, and try not to lose yourself to the whims of a mischievous fox.
Kitsune is available now on Steam, Web, Android, and iOS. It’s also celebrating its launch with a 30% discount until the 11th of April.
