Flirting with Death is a 18+ Otome-like action dark romance in the form of an interactive fiction. The game focus will be mostly into character and relationships development, exploring how you interact with the world and the reactions to your decisions.
Take charge of Eris, a newly (and forcibly) inducted operative of a shadowy organization, as she enters a world way more twisted from what she is already used to.
The game will be released chapter by chapter and it will be entirely free after completion!
You died.
For all your life, you have been making bad decisions after bad decisions and this time your luck ran out.
During your years working with the wrong side of the law you had seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. What you never expected was that your choices would take you into a maze of lies and backstabbing capable to bring countries to their knee.
Something big is happening and you are not in the small leagues anymore. To bring down titans you will have to ally yourself with the shady HADES Project, a group with dubious objectives and even more dubious reasons.
In a race against time you will have to do the unthinkable before it is too late. There is no right or wrong in this game and the stake is your second chance in life.
The clock is ticking.
Grab your power suit.
Gather your allies.
And remember:
Trust no one.

(This list will be updated if and when necessary!)
Yes, the protagonist is gender locked: This is my first time coding an IF and I didn't want to bit off more than I could chew. Not only that, I wanted to mix the otome/josei genre with the interactive format. Maybe it will work, maybe not.
This game is a ROMANCE first and foremost: You will not be able to opt out of it. I am aware that some people are not fond of this type of content and yes, you as a player will have the choice to have (or not!) sexual content/pda, but you will not be able to get out of locking into a romantic route.
Cold, cynical, and incredibly sardonic, Phobos is all objective, giving up on any and all distractions and not being afraid to do whatever it is necessary for the greater good. His no-nonsense attitude and his constant tries to intimidate anyone into submission turned him infamous in the organization. His morality is almost black and he doesn’t care about the sacrifices that he needs to do to obtain the desired result. Killing for him is second nature, but most of times he will let Deimos talk him down from his murderous rampage. At least until he decides that the more approachable way is not being efficient anymore.
Friendly, good natured, and helpful. Everyone who knows Deimos has the impression that the man is not fit for this kind of work. He is well regarded by anyone across HADES and normally tries to resolve everything without violence, doing a really good work as a “face” in his Kerberos Unit. But don’t be mistaken, even preferring to not harm innocents, Deimos is a perfect killing machine, honed by his past to be the perfect assassin and torturer. He has an approachable personality, but when working he only focus on the job that needs to be done. Can be quiet work focused and hyper fixate on the mission, which feeds his insomnia.
With zero chills to give and almost always having and anxiety attack due to Phobos and Deimos shenanigans, his boyish appearance masks very well his personality and he constantly runs with the power of coffee and spite. As a handler he is extremely methodical and professional, being proficient with first aid, tech, engineering, and plan making, even if his ADHD tries as hell to hinder his plans. Being a genius, he mostly always lose patience with stupidity and prefer to work by himself. Chaos is the youngest handler in HADES history and by far one of the most respected, at least by name, since he is the only one capable to make Phobos and Deimos to actually shut up with just a glare. Can be a tad dramatic and fatalist, but he rarely is wrong. His favorite phrase is “I ain’t paid enough to deal with this shit” (Yes, he is.).

Hi everyone!
With my last exam done and having just a last project to submit on the 25th, I'm finally free to sit down, take a deep breath, and put on paper everything that needs to be finished and done for the Chapter 1 update.
What does this mean?
I will take the next two days to devise a road map, touch up some designs, and overall plan how I'll approach update news in general.
My actual plans are kind of simple:
Release Chapter 1 and 1.5;
Finish Chapters 2 to 5;
Create a new template for the game (I'm really not happy with the one I'm using right now and I want to make one from the ground up so I can have more control over the code);
Rewrite the prologue;
Define how to approach future updates;
I want to put this on paper and make a reasonable road map with expectations and the order in which I pretend to tackle the points 2 to 5, so everyone can understand the process and know what to expect next!
I'll be back soon with more concrete news, some graphics, and replenished energy to give FWD the attention I couldn't give in the last two weeks.
See you soon, everyone!
Just two more days of Finals and I'll finally be able to get back into writing.
I had really high expectations for finishing the coding of the first chapter this week, but I'll have to delay it until my last two final tests. After wednesday I'll disappear in my office and only emerge with the finished Chapter 1 and interchapter.
Wishing everyone a good weekend and a nice start of the week, and see you all in 5 days.
Hopefully, if my soul still resides inside my body...
Hello! I understand gender locking the MC because of coding reasons, but why make all of the ROs males :( ?
Hey!
Great question actually. The easy answer is: the game was intended to be an Otome game (believe it or not, a full blown Visual Novel Otome), but since I'm way too swamped with uni, I translated to an IF, thus, the ROs gender stayed the same as the original project, only the story medium changing.
The medium answer is: coding. When I decided to turn into an IF, I was going into the route of gender selectable ROs & MC, until I just realized that coding like that needs way more know how than I do. And yes, I could have turned one of the original ROs into girls, but it didn't felt right for me as a write.
Hard one: technically.... TECHNICALLY, there is two gender selectable routes for two characters that I devised as NPCs and just... They just felt right to became ROs. Since they are intended as gender selectable tho, I'll not be adding them anytime soon. They are very important to the plot and I don't want to botch it by just putting simple pronouns and basic traits change. I want it to feel as if each gender has their own flavor and depth.
I played a lot of IFs and one thing that always made hard for me with gender selectable ROS was that the author just changed the genre, but nothing actually impacted. I really don't want to do that.
If and when I add the new ROs, I want for the people picking their gender to really feel that it impacts their narrative and not just as a gimmick.
Sorry for the book, hope it explained a little?

“On the 18th of November 2026, this world will die.”
The interviewer laughs incredulously, eyes turning to the camera as if to say ‘get a load of this.’ “Oh? and how can you be so sure of that?”
A smile slashes across the Creature’s lips as the interviewer’s skull suddenly caves in untouched. It turns to the camera, ignoring the screaming that starts up around it.
“Because I’m going to end it.”
You are the last of a family of elite slayers.
You are a Van Helsing.
In fact, you were the most formidable foe that Dracula ever faced…over 130 years ago.
No one knows how you gained immortality, least of all you. It was a gradual thing, noticing that you no longer aged. You refused to let a single year go to waste though, creating the Helsing Institute where agents were taught to hunt those that deserved it and protect those that needed it.
So, when an ancient Entity reveals to the world that it’s going to destroy Earth in four months, you are tasked with hunting the Creature down and slaying it before it gets the chance.
However, you and this Creature are far more entwined than you could ever realise.
Will you remain the indomitable Van Helsing of legends or will this finally be your breaking point?

PAST CHARACTERS | OTHER CHARACTERS
LOVE INTERESTS
THE COUNT(ESS) [M/F] - Miron | Miruna Dracula
[Hungarian | Vampire | 400+ | 6’4ft]
Your (im)mortal enemy turned frenemy and consultant for all things supernatural. You never managed to slay Dracula all those years ago, but you were the only one that came close enough that they actually feared for their life. Unfortunately for you, you gained their respect because of it and in turn, ended up with a very powerful, very clingy vampire following you around like a lost puppy for over a hundred years.
Considered the most powerful vampire in existence, Dracula’s attitude can reflect that. The Count(ess) is charming, graceful, and calculating, with an edge of arrogance. However, you don’t have to know what they are to know how deadly they are - it just seems to radiate off of them. Not that that’s ever really bothered you, much to their eternal delight. Once your sworn enemy, they now offer advice and guidance if needed and their company, even if it’s really not needed.
As a Werewolf that was born rather than turned, Osyka is a rarity these days, and a powerful one at that. They and their small pack joined the Helsing Institute after they were rescued from overzealous slayers by you and your agents over fifty years ago. They’ve become one of your best agents, so much so, that you’ve recently promoted them to your second-in-command. A role they’ve fallen into with ease.
Osyka is quiet, commanding, and dependable. They’ve been the steadfast leader of their pack for many years and that has translated well into them becoming your right hand. They’re the one that keeps a level head in times of chaos and everyone respects them for it. You and Osyka have developed a strong bond over the years and they show immense loyalty to you - they’re probably the closest thing you’ve had to a best friend since Jonathan and Mina.
THE EX-SPOUSE [M/F] - Elijah | Eliza De Boer
[Dutch/Irish | Banshee | 160 | 5’10ft]
Your childhood sweetheart and once beloved spouse, your marriage and Eli’s mind fell apart after the murder of your son, Coen. It’s been years since you’ve seen them, and now they’ve turned up at the institute, hardened and as beautiful as the day you married them. They’re extremely evasive about where they’ve been the past one hundred odd years, and their arrival seems to bring more questions than answers.
Once gentle and soft-hearted, Eli has seemingly done a complete 180 since you last saw them. Now far colder and willing to say and do the things that most shy away from, Eli is not the spouse that you remember. The brutal murder of your son and the fact that they sensed it, but still couldn’t save him, broke something inside them. The wariness in their eyes when they look at you hurts, but you can’t begrudge them for their grief - the only comfort is that sometimes, you catch glimpses of the person they once were and that brings hope that you haven’t completely lost them.
THE DOCTOR [NB!M/NB!F] - Victor | Victoria Frankenstein
[Swiss | Cambion | 79 | 5’7ft]
The quirky doctor and grandchild of Victor Frankenstein, creator of Frankenstein’s Monster. They’re the current guardian of the Monster and they work for you at the Helsing Institute. You aren’t entirely sure how to take Vic at times, especially considering you vaguely knew their grandfather and didn’t like him, but their intelligence and inventions are vital to your goal.
Quirky and abrasive, Vic can be difficult to get along with at the best of times. It’s taken some time for you to wrap your head around talking to the genius, but after 20 years, you like to think you know them quite well these days. They can still drive you up the wall, but you wouldn’t trade them for the world…or that’s what they tell you. You’re not so convinced when they blow up the lab for the fourth time in a week…at least the Monster is polite and genuinely helpful.
??? [???]
“My pretty, little fireheart,” the entity purrs as it drags a claw down your cheek. “Cease fighting the inevitable and embrace the chaos of a life at my side.”
Hi everyone! It's been a long, long time LMAO. I'm pleased to say that the Pariah update is now ready to (tentatively) play through and sits at about 39k. Shorter then anticipated by 1k, but I think the playability (depending on your persuasion and anxiety stats) makes up for that. Public release will be announced once I have it run on Patreon for a while and I clean what I want to clean :)
Those who go to Patreon to play... make note that you will need to replay. So enjoy a reintroduction to the world!
This update includes:
Driving a car, or being chauffeured
Strange things are happening on old McDonald's Farm
An intimate look at the diet of livestock
An equally intimate look at what might happen to you nasty little slime eaters (finally)
Murder. The not so fun kind.
Other house business:
An absence of a year means there are things to clean. I will be editing Deadlocks text in the Chapter 2 scene, and then working out some of the other issues I found in terms of pacing of text and playability
I removed the music from the game to work on that
The back button is absent (I know, sad) so I'll be reinstating that
Attollo now sits at 530, 680 words. Next up will be Suha's route.
