In the mountainous nation of Fyrholde, strength is respected above all else, and no pursuit is held in more esteem than that of glorious battle. The long nights and brutal winters foster close-knit communities, and such is true of Astrid's Oathbound, a unit of warriors who share a feasting hall affectionately known as the Attyrhus. Their work is, on the whole, simple - Fyrholde is filled with threats ranging from dragons to petty bandits, and for a fee, Astrid's Oathbound will... eliminate problems. Violently.
It's not a glamorous life, or a particularly easy one, but they all seem happy enough.
Of course, not every day can involve conquering a beastly foe, though today certainly feels like that for Kree, a young elf from the southern Sylphlands who has, through mysterious circumstances, come to make Attyrhus her home.
Kree is good at many things. Screaming a lot! Brewing potions! Punching bears! But when she learns that tomorrow is the birthday of the man she's secretly in love with, Kree finds herself honor bound to acquire a present and celebrate his existence in the Fyrish tradition... which is something that's much more easily said than done, given that Kree's skillset basically ends at scholastic dismemberment.
Not that she'd ever let that stop her. Kree is, if nothing else, determined, which may very well land in more trouble than she bargained for.
Screenshots from Best Wishes, a WIP fantasy/adventure visual novel! Everything shown here very, very WIP, but if you’d like to keep track of updates, feel free to follow this tumblr! A very (very very VERY) rough demo exists at itch.io, so give it a try here if you’re interested.
