In the underworld kingdom, where demons fight for survival against the abyssal monsters, you are just an Oracle. In the distant past the Oracles were at the top of the demonic hierarchy, but those golden days are long gone. You did what you were most afraid to do and now sit under arrest in the royal palace.
When the Abyss sends you a vision of a terrible disaster that will happen in the future, you make an inevitable “deal” with the Sovereign to try to change the future and improve your abilities, not only to become stronger and learn more about the coming disaster, but also in an attempt to achieve mind stability.
However, what has been happening to you since you received the vision makes you think that you are already slowly but surely losing your mind.
Will you be able to maintain your sanity and help others protect the kingdom, or will you become just another name in the long list of Oracles gone mad?
This is a free to play interactive fantasy story with a heavy focus on friendship and romance (with strangers to lovers or enemies dynamic). The story is rated 18+.
Content warnings: violence, death, loss of sanity, trauma, avoidable sexually suggestive/sexual content, and more (the full list is in the demo).
Customize your Oracle: pronouns, traits, and appearance. Choose your full ✨ demonic form. ✨
Build friendship or romance with five different characters. (Allosexual and asexual routes are available.)
Learn more about the Oracles’ past and what truly drove their royal clan into ruin. Uncover the secrets of your abilities. Chat with the Abyss?
Decide what you do for fun. Do you sing, dance, paint, play a musical instrument, or write?
What you did cannot be undone. Your reputation forever ruined, how will you handle the public’s new attitude toward you?
Maintain your sanity. Depending on your choices, you’ll either move closer to loss of control and madness or further away from it.
Decide what fate awaits you. You’ll have to make an important decision that will open two very different paths for you, influence the plot’s progression, and your relationships.
Will the victory be sweet?
✨ Vezriel, The Sovereign (m / f)
Vezriel seems a perfect ruler: they’re smart, calm, patient, know moderation, and always put demons’ well-being first. But you’re not so naive as to think this is their real face—many secrets lurk under the golden shell of the nobility. You never thought of meeting them in the past, but now spending some time with them is inevitable. Perhaps you will find out what lies beneath their mask?
They have dark brown skin, long curly black hair, and black eyes with pale white flecks. Tall and of strong build, Vezriel cuts a robust but elegant figure, usually dressed in beautiful robes.
✨ Osara / Osaron, The Heir (f / m)
Vezriel’s only child and heir, O is their Chief Counselor, and they have a consistently good reputation. Their character reminds of their parent, though O is much more cold and reticent. Nothing seems to touch or shake their emotions, despite the known long list of ex-lovers. You don’t need their attention, but the circumstances have put you right under it. What will you make of this opportunity?
They have warm brown skin, long wavy black hair, and silver, almost white eyes. O is tall and strong, their expression impassive most of the time, which makes them rather intimidating and unapproachable to some demons.
✨ Lazarus / Lazaris, the General (m / f)
L rose from the bottom of the ladder and made a name for themselves, though judging by old rumors, their clean background wasn’t always so clean. They’re charismatic and popular but keep others at a distance—everyone except their friends… and you. L treats you especially well, but you’re not foolish enough to blindly play their game. What do they want from you?
They have beige skin, short/medium-length wavy blond hair, and golden eyes. Many small and big scars can be seen on their hands. L is tall and has a strong build. Despite their high station, they seem friendly and laid-back.
✨ Ashmedai, the Royal Healer (f / m)
Ashmedai was sent to observe your condition after the incident and to help you with mind stability if needed. They performed their duties without showing any displeasure or impatience no matter how you behaved. Ash is secretive and reserved, and you guess their restrained temper is connected to the dark rumors surrounding them. Will they open up to you?
They have pale skin, long straight black hair, and bright red eyes. A large scar runs on the left side of their face, from their forehead along their eye and to their chin. Ash is tall and slender.
✨ Azarias / Azaria, the Royal Musician (m / f)
Ash’s younger sibling, Az somewhat resembles them in appearance, but their characters couldn’t be more different. Az is bold, humorous, and fickle. They know everyone—and everything about everyone—and enjoy a special favor from the Sovereign, which has allowed them to retain their place in the royal palace for many years. You’re concerned about their peculiar attention to you because there’s no reason for it—you two have never met before. Or… is there a reason after all?
They have pale skin, long white hair, and black eyes with narrow silver pupils. A tattoo of a snake with flowers curves around their neck. Az is tall and lean.
I usually would have done that without hesitation but TAS is different from my usual stories
So do you have other stories too?? Because I would love to read them (even if the characters are gonna die 😭), you're one of my faves
Aw, thank you for your interest!! 💛 All my previous stories are shelved, and I won't be returning to them; they are old and unfinished, so there's nothing I'd like to show. But I'm slowly planning out my next IF, so after TAS is done, I'll publish something new :)
STAY SAFE!! [ID: the Gilbert Baker pride flag with the words “Happy pride to all those who are unable to celebrate openly and safely. You are loved and seen!” in all-caps black text over it. /end ID]
adding to my last ask, i always find it funny how every week there's one ask like "omg things are so bad for the oracle already :(" and you're always like "oh, haha, it's gonna get worse." Like- do you do tarot card readings? Can I pay you to do my tarot card reading? I wouldn't trust anyone else other than you to do it.
Loool, are you sure you want me to do it? 😹 The Oracle wouldn't recommend that...
the fact that there's like... a whole list where oracle had died in some way and the ROs are to be the unfortunate witnesses to it.
And the fact that people keep asking for more of those scenarios.
Now the list isn't big, but the list is there.
Like, I thought we liked our Oracle. Why are we putting them through unfathomable torment in every timeline ever, chat 💔💔
You should get like, an award for this ngl. "Most Tormented MC in the hands of the Anons" or sum shit idk
also, would it be too crazy to ask for a snippet regarding that scenario but with Vez since u did Os and Az 👉👈🥺💞✨
People just love angst (I'm with the people!!). You can show a lot of love through grief too, and quite intense. It's an interesting way to explore the characters' mind.
I'll put the request on my tbd (there's one like this, if you haven't seen it). I can't promise I'll write it; most of my energy goes to the base game and patreon stuff, so I rarely can do even the simple scenario asks after I'm done with my daily writing 😅
Asks from other Ifs: what are the ROs favourite cuddle position?
Asks from this If: what would be the ROs reaction if the Oracle died choking on their blood while on their arms? Angst style
Vez: They love when you lie down on them.
Os: Any. But they prefer you leaning on them in some way.
Laz: With you by their side.
Ash: Lying side by side, either facing each other or with your back to them because they prefer to be able to hug you.
Az: Any, but as close as possible. If your bodies aren't smashed together, then you're not cuddling.
As for the death ask, you can see the list of my related answers here: link. I don't want to reveal any more than I have on this topic; any other reactions to the Oracle's death will be explored in the story when the time comes.
How would the RO's react to a playful MC wrapping them in a blanket burrito or cuddling them, then using that chance to steal some of their snacks? (MC accepts the consequences of their actions and any retaliation)
I'm so late to this, sorry, lol
Vez pretends they don't see. You can eat whatever they want, even if it's theirs.
There's no way you would be able to burrito Os. They'll do it back to you so quickly. But they might feed you while you're lying like that.
Laz can allow you many things, but they simply refuse to be burritoed. Fondly exasperated, they let you have their snacks.
Ash is a confused burrito at first. When they realize you did this to them to steal their snacks, they just laugh. They won't retaliate or forbid you from eating their snacks; they might get even more next time so both of you have enough.
Az will be fighting for their life, but just for the fun of it. They don't care if you eat their snacks, but they may pretend to so they can mess around with you, lol.
As someone who loves headpats, I need to know ROs reaction to Oracle who loves getting headpats after doing something good or just wants headpats for no particular reason!
I'm still chopping at the same scene, but I'm close to finishing it. The length of the flavor text for the important variables has put the scene at 40K words, and I'm not even done with it, lol… Now I only need to write the low sanity branches for each route, which means five, then two versions of each for the "redacted" variable. They might differ fully, or maybe I'll be able to reuse some text, which would mean I could finish them quicker. But we'll see. I don't want to half-ass any of these scenes because they're heavy on the relationships' progression + the Oracle's… situation.
I won't lie, this scene has worn me out. All the characters, including the Oracle, have several states of mind, which means no scene can go without me writing for two parallel universes, lol! Writing the text is one thing; making sure that all the branches have the essential smaller branches and that they all make sense and that they all converge properly is 🪦
I'm eager to get to something simpler, with less variability, so the next scene should be a nice change for me (before I have to return to hell for the last scenes of this chapter 🫡).
Once I finish this scene, I should be about 75% done with the first draft.
