The Game

In Blood is a gothic romance and lovecraftian horror visual novel with a branching narrative that comments on toxic relationships and what it means to lose yourself.

Inspired by otome games like Demonheart and Cinders, In Blood is a mature story with engaging characters and story.

The Story

After a night of drinking Eleadora "Ellie" takes a shortcut home through the woods. She’s angry, frustrated, and sad. At the crossroads she trips and cuts her hand on some broken glass. While looking over her wounds she mutters a wish out loud that calls upon an ancient and forgotten force that changes her life forever.

She wakes up in an unknown room, in an unknown house, on an unknown plane of existence. Surrounded by horrors and death she must attempt to find an ally among the other occupants of the house. It’s clear they don’t have her best interests in mind, and trusting them could be deadly.

Survive and try to maintain your humanity.

Escape, if you still want to.

Escape, if they’ll let you.

Characters:

Ellie just wants to go home. Accidental blood pacts with weird old Gods be damned! (The protagonist)

Eris is the immortal servant of Nyarbalte. Willing to keep you alive and feed you, but not much else. Do not go into their kitchen. Ever.

Nyarbalte is the ancient and forgotten God of the swamps. Requires blood in exchange for granting desires and can be summoned at a crossroads.

Romance Options:

Tristin is the broody (fan favorite)  guy who claims he is human, even if that doesn't seem quite right... He wants to escape as badly as you do and could prove a powerful ally. 

Brenton, our dragon himbo, likes to hide up in his tower and hang out among his collection of junk- er his hoard.  He'll keep you safe, and treasure you.

Karon is more than the guy your mother warned you about, he's the guy the entire world warns you about. Wine seems to be the way to win him over, but what happens when you do?

Seta is so helpful, and so friendly. Surely she doesn't have an ulterior motive... right? This spider loving girl seems to know way more than she lets on. 

Personality System

The game features a personality system that can have big consequences for your actions. If Ellie goes into any 1 extreme she will start to change, and this can even lead to a unique ending if pushed too far. 

 The four opposing personality traits are: selfish vs selfless and then wild vs tame. Ellie must balance these opposing forces in order to maintain her humanity.

Ellie will have partial mutations that will be a warning to the player (and Ellie!) that something might go wrong if she continues down her current path. Each mutation is inspired by creatures of folklore.
