In the underworld kingdom, where demons fight for survival against the abyssal monsters, you are just an Oracle. In the distant past the Oracles were at the top of the demonic hierarchy, but those golden days are long gone. You did what you were most afraid to do and now sit under arrest in the royal palace.
When the Abyss sends you a vision of a terrible disaster that will happen in the future, you make an inevitable “deal” with the Sovereign to try to change the future and improve your abilities, not only to become stronger and learn more about the coming disaster, but also in an attempt to achieve mind stability.
However, what has been happening to you since you received the vision makes you think that you are already slowly but surely losing your mind.
Will you be able to maintain your sanity and help others protect the kingdom, or will you become just another name in the long list of Oracles gone mad?
This is a free to play interactive fantasy story with a heavy focus on friendship and romance (with strangers to lovers or enemies dynamic). The story is rated 18+.
Content warnings: violence, death, loss of sanity, trauma, avoidable sexually suggestive/sexual content, and more (the full list is in the demo).
Customize your Oracle: pronouns, traits, and appearance. Choose your full ✨ demonic form. ✨
Build friendship or romance with five different characters. (Allosexual and asexual routes are available.)
Learn more about the Oracles’ past and what truly drove their royal clan into ruin. Uncover the secrets of your abilities. Chat with the Abyss?
Decide what you do for fun. Do you sing, dance, paint, play a musical instrument, or write?
What you did cannot be undone. Your reputation forever ruined, how will you handle the public’s new attitude toward you?
Maintain your sanity. Depending on your choices, you’ll either move closer to loss of control and madness or further away from it.
Decide what fate awaits you. You’ll have to make an important decision that will open two very different paths for you, influence the plot’s progression, and your relationships.
Will the victory be sweet?
✨ Vezriel, The Sovereign (m / f)
Vezriel seems a perfect ruler: they’re smart, calm, patient, know moderation, and always put demons’ well-being first. But you’re not so naive as to think this is their real face—many secrets lurk under the golden shell of the nobility. You never thought of meeting them in the past, but now spending some time with them is inevitable. Perhaps you will find out what lies beneath their mask?
They have dark brown skin, long curly black hair, and black eyes with pale white flecks. Tall and of strong build, Vezriel cuts a robust but elegant figure, usually dressed in beautiful robes.
✨ Osara / Osaron, The Heir (f / m)
Vezriel’s only child and heir, O is their Chief Counselor, and they have a consistently good reputation. Their character reminds of their parent, though O is much more cold and reticent. Nothing seems to touch or shake their emotions, despite the known long list of ex-lovers. You don’t need their attention, but the circumstances have put you right under it. What will you make of this opportunity?
They have warm brown skin, long wavy black hair, and silver, almost white eyes. O is tall and strong, their expression impassive most of the time, which makes them rather intimidating and unapproachable to some demons.
✨ Lazarus / Lazaris, the General (m / f)
L rose from the bottom of the ladder and made a name for themselves, though judging by old rumors, their clean background wasn’t always so clean. They’re charismatic and popular but keep others at a distance—everyone except their friends… and you. L treats you especially well, but you’re not foolish enough to blindly play their game. What do they want from you?
They have beige skin, short/medium-length wavy blond hair, and golden eyes. Many small and big scars can be seen on their hands. L is tall and has a strong build. Despite their high station, they seem friendly and laid-back.
✨ Ashmedai, the Royal Healer (f / m)
Ashmedai was sent to observe your condition after the incident and to help you with mind stability if needed. They performed their duties without showing any displeasure or impatience no matter how you behaved. Ash is secretive and reserved, and you guess their restrained temper is connected to the dark rumors surrounding them. Will they open up to you?
They have pale skin, long straight black hair, and bright red eyes. A large scar runs on the left side of their face, from their forehead along their eye and to their chin. Ash is tall and slender.
✨ Azarias / Azaria, the Royal Musician (m / f)
Ash’s younger sibling, Az somewhat resembles them in appearance, but their characters couldn’t be more different. Az is bold, humorous, and fickle. They know everyone—and everything about everyone—and enjoy a special favor from the Sovereign, which has allowed them to retain their place in the royal palace for many years. You’re concerned about their peculiar attention to you because there’s no reason for it—you two have never met before. Or… is there a reason after all?
They have pale skin, long white hair, and black eyes with narrow silver pupils. A tattoo of a snake with flowers curves around their neck. Az is tall and lean.

I can't believe it took me this long to discover your IF? ?? I'm stunned and the fact I can read so many chapters at once. I pursued Ash's route then.. Laz's... the whiplash oh my GOSH. I feel so fluffy & contented with Ash's then the next thing I feel is I'm this 🤏 to shaking Laz. Who cares they tower over my MC whose about to froth and bite them 😭 anyways thank you for making such a masterpiece and I can't wait to see how it unfolds!!!
I'm happy that you found TAS and enjoyed it! Thank you for your kind words 💛💛 I'm working hard on the next chapter and can't wait to publish it!!
Oh yeah, the difference between Ash and Laz is... stark, lol. Laz def deserves more than just shaking 😹
I am positively buzzing with excitement as i wait for the next update. My sweet sweet Ash i can't wait for you to be back to me
I'm also buzzing with excitement!! I wish I could finish it earlier, but the chapter has really chonky branches 😤 But at least there will be plenty of content for all the routes, esp if you do replays with different choices!
the chapter 6 povs are so delicious thank you for feeding us!!!! vez is so complex i love how you characterize him
(nsfw) my oracle can think of a thing or two to help him relax, minimal strings attached (or with complications to ignore and think about later) 😌 also drooling over the thought of seeing vez submissive and able to not think/worry about anything
I'm glad you enjoyed them! 💛
Vez doesn't do no strings attached, but if they did, they would let the Oracle entice them 😶🌫️
Hiiii, first order of business is praise because WHAAATTT I LOVE YOUR IF AMAZING SPACTACULAR ALLL THE LOOVE SENT YOUR WAY.
Second, I've not caught up/stalled in reading because I genuinely feel for Selene and all the oracles treated unfairly/deceived throughout history. So taking the throne and putting an oracle back would feel sooooo satisfying. A form of justice and vengeance. However, THE RO’s?!?! I can't hurt those babies!!!!!!! The loves of my life?!?!!! But taking the throne does just that!!!!?!? And yet the cries of the MCs own pain and pain of the oracles before them and Selene’s pain cries for reparations no?????? And I feel no real change would happen by making some decree or another on vals behalf(based on the description on how vehemently the demons suppressed all and every trace of oracles nature and history, I mean this is no simple “put aside and forget” this was day to day suppression of a group of demons nature and sense of community/self on a large scale. And there might not be any left? Like the only thing that would help would be the memory of those who lived and died in that surpression…that doesn't really help anyone does it? And no true change would happen because the demons won't have to actively “do/be” that change they might claim to have, if there are no oracles to practice it on???) oracle taking the throne could directly impact “History,” what the demons teach the future generations…
Ughhhhhh but I reaaaalllllyyyy don't want any of the ros to be hurt.. Opinions? Suggestions? Anything??😭
You're not forgiven!! (/joking)
I can only send you my thoughts and prayers 😔 On a serious note, haha!!! Thanks, I laughed at this wonderful message. I love seeing my characters and readers suffer 😼💛
Indeed, the MC's situation is messed up. The royals won't talk about it, but they're suspicious of the Oracles too. The loyalists of the dead ruling family are still around, after all 🙃
If you want to take the throne and eat your cake, I recommend Ash and Az routes. Otherwise, good luck...

There are already more than 4K of you here!! As a celebration of sorts, I'm making public several POVs I wrote for Patreon, one for each LI from chapter 6.
As announced at the beginning of the month, you can now play the entirety of Blood of the Living's ninth chapter, which as it so happens is the penultimate one.
Basically, some stuff happens, and then you can have some feelings about it. Or, if that stuff doesn't happen for you, you can have feelings about other stuff that's already happened. Or both. Feel what you feel, deity of Spring. Who knows? Maybe some of the characters will give you even more things to feel some kind of way about.
I'm no good at advertising, but as always, I hope you enjoy it. :)

[Oracle] frowns. “What does it matter to you whether I would’ve been interested in you or not?”
Az pushes a palm of berries into their mouth. “Mhm.” It’s the best answer they can give.
“You’re insufferable.”
They wink.
It’s so easy to go back to jokes. To avoid answering. They have been doing it all their life. And now, like a fool, they can’t help but want [Oracle] to dig deeper and figure them out. If they can’t say it, then [Oracle] could find the answer themselves, and then Az wouldn’t need to chew on the truth that leaves a rotting taste in their mouth.
Hope you're doing good! This might be a spoiler but is the Oracle going to be able to eat Ashmedai out in the next chapter? Sorry, not sorry for the thirsty ask! 😆😍
Hi! I'm dying from from how hot it is here 🫠
I don't know yet. I marked the possibility of NSFW scenes in the last part of the chapter, but I don't know which LIs will have them and which won't. I need to get to that scene and see what mood the characters have and whether they're down for the tango.
Even if some LIs have those scenes, whether you get them or not will depend on your choices; some Oracles wouldn't be in the mood for it due to... some things happening. Some of you will get angst instead of spice 🫡
Don't worry, though. We're in the NSFW territory now, so everyone will get their part sooner rather than later 👀 I'm eager to get to it and see how their first times together go. It will be interesting to write.
New chapter is up !! Being a warlock isn't as safe as you think, and you have to decide whether to face what your patron is with a smile, or try to force them to see what they've become. This is a two way street, after all !!
Bad Ritual is an interactive Twine-based romance wherein you, a corporate demon hunter, find yourself helplessly bound to an archdemon after your mysterious boss leaves you alone with a clearly unauthorized binding ritual. Who will you ally with: the archdemon, hell-bent on escaping the binding and disappearing forever, or the priestess Tahira, who would hunt him to the very ends of the earth?

Hello again! Hope the spring has been pleasant for you 🌷
With this update we're continuing the pilgrimage, which is turning out more dangerous than even the Crown and their companions anticipated:
The Crown will be revisiting an old place they had forgotten about, and learn more about the scars left on the land from the reigns of Crowns past
Whether you brought the water spirits with you or whether Eshkar is also there or not will give you additional variations and, depending on one choice you make this chapter, may lead to someone getting hurt
There will be more lore on the religious practices of Arsur, and an opportunity to customize your Crown's religious beliefs as well
A dangerous encounter shakes things up this chapter--is it a test of the spirits, or just bad luck? Either way, how your Crown handles this situation will not go unnoticed!
And last but not least, romance scenes with your chosen love interest, though the tone of these will be quite different considering the previous encounter...
Thank you for all your patience and support, I hope you enjoy the new chapter as summer approaches 💖
For those that are unfamiliar with the game
A Tale of Crowns is a high fantasy romance story, told in the form of a text-based interactive novel with choice mechanics. The setting is inspired by Kurdish culture as well as other historical settings in the Middle East such as Ancient Persia, but it also draws heavily from other cultures and countries in the region.
Your character is native to Arsur, a vast empire overseen by a single ruler known as the Crown. Unlike traditional monarchies, however, the title is not inherited through blood. Whenever the Crown dies, their famed golden eyes pass on to the one chosen by the Spirits of this world to be the new Crown. In this story, your MC takes on that role.
There are four different love interests to choose from, whose genders will be customized to suit the preferences of your Crown. You can find more info about them on the blog page!
Also note that this current version of the game is safe for those 16 years and older.
Like the premise so far? Play it and give it a try! The entire game is free!
If you enjoyed the game, please reblog! Share it with your friends! Recognition and reader interaction is just about the only thing I get in return for creating it ❤️
