A Quaint Tale of Love, High Adventure, and Intramale Competition
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Story
This is the story of an adventurer (whom you will impersonate) and of his companion, who also happens to be his lover.
They are in front of a tavern and in this tavern they will enter. There, they will find their counterpart. As this place is one of perdition and our characters not made of the finest materials, several licentious conversations will be held, men will quarrel gallantly to the great pleasure of the ladies, and all of this will culminate in an almost pornographic finale.
Whether this ending shall be a pleasant one or not is something for your heart to decide.
Features
A very horny game. I am deeply ashamed of it.
A short experience: the game is tight and to the point. It takes about 20 minutes to reach the end.
Tons of choices, choices that matter: this is not a passive experience. You'll never have to read more than a few lines of text before having to make a choice; and (almost) all of them will have some sort of consequence.
Highly replayable: as a result of the above, you won't see more than a third of the game in a single playthrough. You'll probably still find new things up until your 5th or 6th run.
A classy dressing: an allegorical use of the great paintings of yore, coupled with (mostly) baroque and classical music makes for the pretentious experience we all secretly long for.
It is a finished product and it is completely free, for I am a man of the people.
Some words of caution
The game contains some semblance of sexual violence, a hint of humiliation, and can occasionally lapse into a slightly edgy brand of humor.
While all of this may sound awfully enticing, it should be said that it is also very lighthearted and none too explicit. Don't expect lurid descriptions of turgid appendages brutally destroying unsuspecting holes.
Finally, although I write for a living, this is my first time writing in English and without an editor. You may therefore encounter here and there some turns of phrase liable to profoundly revolt your grammar-loving soul.
One last word
Making this game has been a long and lonely journey. I am in dire need of any kind of feedback whatsoever. At this point, you could spit in my face and shame me for my proclivities, I would thank you and ask for more. So please leave a short comment or a rating and I will sing your glorious name.

Might be a long shot, but in case you're still around I must ask -
You say you write for a living; Please tell me where I can find more of your writings! Your style is incredibly enjoyable to read, and even if it's not in a language I understand I'd still love to get just a taste of some more. I'd easily buy a book of yours.
If and when you do ever come back here to read these comments, please give me your response. Even if it's years after I've made this comment, I will get around to reading it eventually. I mean, it's been well over a year since I played your game and I still occasionally think of it in fondness. Enough so that I came back here.
Thank you very much for your kind words! Alas, I will not fulfill your request. But do not fret too much over it. To begin with, I mainly write in French and I don't concern myself with such lowly literary genres such as fiction or books. Only technical documentation on household equipment is worthy of my craft (I do make an exception for video games, for we all have our weaknesses). Secondly, I am currently putting the finishing touches on my latest game. Rest assured that I will announce its release loudly, to both yourself and the world. It will not be an erotic game though.
Thank you for the response! I understand... household equipment documents certainly are in need of authors of your talent. But that is wonderful to hear that you're creating a new game! I will patiently await your work.
hmm.. a game for the gentlemen. lets see.
It is! Very much so.
First off, fuck you dude, I hate ntr shit and my first playthrough ended me up as a cucked broke loser with his mate/lover banged, by a Big Man Henry (fuck Henry btw what a dick), swearing revenge on life (quite poetic if I say so). And I was only exploring the world truly a tragedy T_T.
Nah fr tho, great game, very very replayable and I love the Baroque style its very refreshing and original.
My second playthrough ended up being a complete 180 as I took Henrys money and girl after I destroyed him twice in battle (which is more of my liking but I digress). I just tried a a few different things and it ended up as such.
I guess what Id say is a bit lacking is how sometimes I kinda seems like natacha is speaking even though it is Henry getting me quite confused in my first playthough. The speech is a bit complex but that's expected.
I like ur game and ur style, keep it up man.
Thank you very much, my good man. These sweet sentiments you express make my heart swell with joy.
You've made quite an interesting game here. The atmosphere is very fitting to the medieval era, which is really nice. New choice show up depending on if you've met certain criteria, which makes you replay the game over and over until you figure your way around. But what grabs my attention the most is the ending. I don't know what your intention was with the ending, or if I just couldn't find it, but the fact that I couldn't escape my cruel fate of losing my arms and ending up in a bad place, really spoke to me. Like no matter my choice, my destiny is unchanged. I enjoyed the game all the way through. You have my thanks.
For everyone's sake, I won't belabor the ominous and kabbalistic motives behind this epilogue, but I'm glad it resonated with you. I couldn't ask for more. Thank you so much for your kind words. Take care!
Hey man, we wouldn't mind if u did, by any reason, want to comment on that ending. It really does seem like it has a deeper meaning to it and I'd be interested to read about it.
Which painting is Manou's portrait from?
Hi! The portraits of Manou and Natacha do not actually come from any painting but have been AI generated.
Very nice game! Was it difficult to make? I'm feeling inspired to try something similar, now.
Thank you dear. Writing it was difficult (but keep in mind that I am not a native English speaker and I had no one to proofread it). Technically, however, it was super easy. Unity and Ink are wonderfully intuitive and easy to use. So, go for it, young man!
I liked it a lot and I only finished it once trying to get a bad ending. The paintings give it such a surreal feel, a great and unique experience. Good job.
You make me blush. You make me shiver. I think that's what being in love is supposed to feel like.
Never seen a game like this, it's really unique. I can tell a lot of effort was put into it!
And never a compliment has reached so deep inside my heart, you goddamn stud!
Looks like a really good game. I haven't finished it because I'm tired while writing this. You definitely have a side that makes me enjoy this game. Overall it looks like a good promising game.
Thank you, you sweet kind man.
