Hi! I’m so glad you liked it🤭 Okay, so poly routes:

Morkai is open to a poly with you and Straasa or you and Daelynn. He is a good guy, but can be a bit…obnoxious, and he and Eledwen don’t get along all that well. Daelynn, however, has fun riling him up, so expect an interesting dynamic in that route, lol.

Straasa is more of a feelings kind of guy. He needs to form a deep connection with a partner before he considers a relationship. He only has that with Morkai and is *really* surprised when he feels that connection with you too, despite how little you’ve known each other. In his poly, he is the one that is more emotionally open and Morkai is the one that is more sexually open right off the bat.

As for Daelynn, she is open to both emotional and sexual intimacy pretty early. She just wants to be loved, or have fun, or both, haha. She gets along with everyone, but Straasa only sees her as a friend. With the other two, she can develop chemistry, either by butting heads with Morkai (who not so secretly loves doing that) or by helping Eledwen let down her guard and be more open with what she feels. She is a force for honesty.

Last is Eledwen who is a very closed off character at first. Not in an ice queen kind of way, or that she is not approachable, but in an “I’ve been hurt” kind of way that makes her wary of letting others in. She and Straasa develop an almost sibling-like relationship and Morkai gets on her nerves. If you want someone to help you tear him a new one, she is your gal! Daelynn, on the other hand, pushes her to be more open without being threatening and Eledwen really appreciates that. Also, she really likes how Daelynn looks, lol. And for you, she has a soft spot right away, which she likes and fears at the same time.

That’s more or less how I have the polys in my mind, haha! Wow, that was long…

As for the technical stuff, like how will it work and etc, the point the romance really starts will differ from character to character, but you’ll always know what you’re getting into and with whom, not to worry!

They *do* have feelings for each, and it’s kind of an open secret. Their friendship is way more important to them, however, so that’s why they never acted on it or actively acknowledged it. If the MC never came along, they probably would have never acted on it, though who knows for sure.

If you tackle their individual romances, however, they are still best bros and they feel fondness for each other, but the MC is the One©. Soulmate stuff, so whatever latent feelings they had for each are not even a consideration anymore.

Maybe that will put people off, that they have feelings for each other that are not strictly platonic, but that is how it is in my head, so I gotta follow my muse!

Hello,

I’m Morgan, developer of the interactive fiction game “The Soul Stone War”! The game is still in its infancy, but I’m seriously hyped to finish it, so expect regular updates!

I’m a 28-old-woman living in the Netherlands and writing has been my passion since I was a kid. I never thought it would ever be anything more than a hobby.

But I finally decided that the only one that can make my dreams come true is me, so after 12 years of sitting on this idea, I have at last decided to make my teenaged, innermost wish a reality!

Writing has always been my escape from the real world and all that haunts me during my waking hours. Dramatic, I know, but it’s the truth! So I have chosen to share my stories with everyone, in the hopes that they might help people the same way they helped me.

That’s about it, I think. I hope you will give my game a chance!
