In Time
In Time is an 18+ interactive fiction novel in which you play as a noble elf, the second child of the Left Hand of the Emperor, that has been Blessed. Born with stars in your eyes, able to see the threads of magic, you have prodigious skill in the craft. It is, however, a double edged sword, and has left you with a sickly frail body that has hindered your every step.
Worse, is the traitors that attacked the Empire, killing not only two Emperors in your time, but most of your family. And then, attacking you.
Whatever they did- it changed you. You woke up 1,000 years later with only your twin. You must now figure out what happened to you and how to survive in this new world.
At least, however, you'll have a chance at revenge while you're at it.
Customize MC's gender, appearance, and your choices affect their choices and personality, to an extent, as well as effects the Twin
Action, Adventure, and Romance in this high fantasy novel where you play an elf, ex nobility, with mastery over magics
Makes choices for MC's past as well as their future- dealing with revenge, ambitions, love, and consequences
While there are stats in this game, it will not be stat heavy with the majority of the game being choice driven
The Marked
The MC, the second Mavar child and elder twin. An elf born with chronic illnesses as the consequence of being Marked, able to see the flow of magic around them, and thus unlikely to reach triple digits in age. They have had a tumultuous life, made no easier through their own ambitions and one sided loves, and now finds themselves with nothing they had fought for, only new problems. New hungers.
Romare
The third Mavar child and younger twin. Unmarked, Romare has spent his life in his siblings shadows, something he never seemed bothered by. With the beloved eldest the perfect child, with the second needy in their illness and historic with their Mark, Romare's accomplishments were also a minor note. Or worse, simply expected. Still, he is loyal and loving, and will do what he must to protect his sibling- especially as they're all that's left now.

It is. I'm just a slow writer and unable to put as much time towards writing as I wish I could with everything else on my plate.

This. Is. Perfect.
I LOVE magic and elfs, and also always wanted a twin.
And this IF have it all! ILOVE IT!!!
Although sometime it's hard to understand what is going on, but it's more due to english being my second language :P
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the demo so far! If there was anything specific that was difficult to understand, though, please let me know and I'll look into making it clearer.
This story really intrigued me. I also love Romare so much it hurts qwq, I hope we can prevent bad things from happening to him when we're together like a protective sibling :D
Exploring more of Romare and MC's relationship and how it grows is something I'm excited for, so hopefully it'll be enjoyable to readers as well!
Thank you for the comment!
really excited to see where this goes!!
one thing is that i beg of you to add preset names, because its hard to make up a name that automatically fits with the rest!
I've never been that interested in preset names, so it wasn't something I focused on. But I can look into adding some for people that prefer those! Thank you for the interest!
your writing is beautiful.
Thank you! That means a lot!
AJHAHAJHHHHH I love the demo so much🥹🥹💕 I’m looking forward for the next update
Thank you! I'm glad it was fun, and am working on the next part!
amazing story... Now I want more🤭
(The image is from a meme😶🌫️)
Thank you! I'm working on getting the next part up, so it's happening!
I really liked the demo. It's well written, we learn about the story background just enough to want to know more and the characters are compelling.
Our twin is amazing.
I'd love to know more about the ROs without having to go on your tumblr.
Why not putting the description of the ROs here and right uneder your tumblr ?
I think it would be great for curious people ~.
Thank you for the comment.
I'm glad it's caught your interest! And that Romare has earned some love.
Updating the intro here is on my list to do. Hopefully one will catch your attention when I get this done too.
The one calling us "Little Bell" is definitel intriguing. Good luck with the game ! I'm totally following it and you !
This is simply amazing!!! Can't wait for more, and I'm already in love with our twin 🥺🥺
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the beginning and Romare! He's an important part!
I really enjoyed this demo! I really enjoyed the twin bond especially since I am a twin myself! I'm really looking forward to future progress ❤️
Thank you! I'm glad it's sparked an interest and the characters, so far, are appealing! I have a soft spot for Romare, so it's real nice to see him getting some love as well!
I will definitely recommend this to my twin as well! I'm so excited! Keep up the good work and take care of yourself!
Short and (bitter)sweet. Looking forward to future progress!
It is short, but after the difficulties I've had, I figured getting even this up was a great way to prove to myself it was happening and I can, and all that. I'm glad though you enjoyed it!
