I do enjoy it when a game is clearly trying to use a wildly inappropriate pre-built game engine for what it wants to do, but I don't see why RPG Maker should have all the fun. Do grid-based tactical combat in Inform. Write a rhythm game in Twine. Implement that precision puzzle platformer in Ren'Py. You know you want to.

CURRENT CHAPTER: PROLOGUE + CH. 1

Dating’s hard. Especially in this climate.

You’ve tried it all—apps, setups, chance encounters—but nothing’s stuck. So what’s one more bad idea? In a moment of desperation (or brilliance), you say yes to reality TV.

Welcome to Warm Me Up, Snap Studio’s very first dating experiment.

You were expecting sunshine and swimsuits. Instead? You’re stranded in a luxury chalet with eleven strangers and one rule: pair up or freeze out. Fail to make a connection, and you’re headed straight to the Cold Zone.

Warm Me Up is an interactive fiction rated 18+ for explicit language, explicit sexual themes, alcohol use, and moral ambiguity.

Customize your MC. From appearance, personality, to motivations. Your character is yours to make.

Rich relationship dynamics. With eleven other contestants and the cameras always rolling, things are bound to get messy. It's up to you whether you want to keep it platonic, find your person, or hook up in the pantry. Nobody's judging...except the audience.

Multiple endings. Your time in the mountains can leave quite an impression. How will your story end?

Anjali Lal | She/Her, 25, Model/Skincare Entrepreneur

Polished, poised, and unapologetically high-maintenance, Anjali doesn’t suffer fools or wrinkles. Her sharp tongue and cold exterior might scare some off, but if you make her crack, she just might surprise you. [BIO]

Dmitry Volkov | He/Him, 30, Private Wealth Manager

Outwardly, Dmitry comes off as too perfect. But he’s more than just good manners and a strong jawline. Quietly protective and endlessly thoughtful, he’ll always strive to put you first. [BIO]

Jong-woo Kim | He/Him, 23, Fitness Influencer

Bubbly, bright, and built like a Greek statue, Jong-woo brings the sunshine wherever he goes. He’s a little awkward, endlessly enthusiastic, and surprisingly wise for someone who still calls his mom every day. Whether he’s working out or working the room, you can’t help but smile when he’s around. [BIO]

Kailee Blake | She/Her, 26, Interior Designer

Kailee's all smiles and sweet touches, but it's clear she knows how to play the game. While her affection might feel genuine at times, her true motives stay tucked behind that charming facade. If you’re not careful, you’ll think she’s on your side right up until she twists the knife with a smile. [BIO]

Kalea Mahelona | She/Her, 22, Student

Kalea is candy personified: sweet, soft, and easy to break if you’re not careful. She’s clumsy, shy, and easily flustered, but once she warms up to you, she’s all in. [BIO]

Linden Craft | They/Them, 31, Café Owner

Grounded and honest, Linden is the breath of fresh air you didn’t know you needed. A little quiet and unreadable, they offer comfort by simply being. With their steady presence and emotional maturity, they make it easy to be exactly who you are. [BIO]

Luca/Lucia Gigliotti | He/Him OR She/Her, 28, Luxury Art Curator

Cunning, cultured, seductive: Lu thrives on tension and desire. With them, love—if it exists at all—is a just game. Whether you join in is your choice. Either way, you’re in for one hell of a ride. [BIO]

Makai Jones | He/Him, 27, High School History Teacher

Aloof, unreadable, and hard to impress, Makai keeps his guard sky-high. He’s cautious and most people don’t get past the walls he’s built. But if you do manage to earn his trust, you’ll find someone loyal, grounded, and quietly ride-or-die in a way that never asks for recognition. [BIO]

Marcel Toussaint | They/He, 29, Mixologist

Flamboyant, passionate, and just a touch unhinged, Marcel refuses to be ignored. They flirt for sport and love watching people fall for them, whether or not they plan to catch them. But sometimes, even a wildcard wants something real…it just might take a while. A very long while. [BIO]

Misty Delgado | She/Her, 26, Park Ranger

Misty is the epitome of cool and always in control. She takes life one day at a time and is definitely not one to rise to the drama. Sometimes, she’s so laid-back it makes you wonder if she’s here to make a real connection…or just enjoy the view. [BIO]

Santiago/Santina Reyes | He/Him OR She/Her, 28, Tattoo Artist/Small Business Owner

Smooth, unflappable, and devastatingly charismatic, Santi is hard to resist. They’ve got a magnetic presence and always seem to know the perfect moment to tease, to comfort, or to challenge you. And their heart? It’s big. So big, you start to wonder if there might be room in there for you, too. [BIO]

Working on: Chapter 6

Set in a fantasy world rooted in ancient Rome where society is built on a hierarchy based on virtus, magic coming from the strength of other people. Be one of High Society as a young adult groomed to enter into the prestigious institution aptly named ‘The Academy.’ There is much more than meets the eye, as a rebellion boils beneath the surface, and you hide a secret past that molds your motivations.

Pick one of four archetypes that influence how your character is perceived, and the flavour text surrounding them

Romance, or befriend a cast of characters

Multiple different endings which are influenced by your decisions

Make major choices that impact the story

A vast and complex world

Caesar Maximus [M] [RO]

The heir to a member of the all-powerful triumvirate which dictates society, and fellow classmate in the academy. A well-liked charming young man, loyal to those he cares for, caring, and honour bent on the traditions of High Society.

Seen as the ideal heir, and is seen as the golden boy of what a member of high society should be. Caesar has a desire to do what he believes is right, and bring justice to wrongdoers.

Physical appearance:

Short golden curly hair and eyes, a strong brow of darker blonde. A sculpted face that looks to be carved out of marble, defined jaw and bone structure.

Tall, broad and athletic from years of training, along with perpetually sun-kissed skin

Aurelia Lucius [F] [RO]

The heir to your family’s rivals, a divide which spans back half a century. The daughter of current triumvirate member, who will also attend the academy in the same year as you. Considered distant, mysterious and quiet — much like her father, she does not speak unless she deems it necessary.

With a dislike for the spotlight, and preference for observance, she has a talent for perceiving the truth in people. When she does speak, her words are eloquent and formal, always well said.

Physical Appearance:

Long, wavy blonde hair that is so light it nearly appears white. She also has been blessed with the desired feature of golden eyes, which are complimented by long eyelashes. Her face is elegant, soft, yet with defined high cheekbones and jawline.

Average in height but with a lithe yet strong figure and pale skin

+ MORE who are not RO’s

The Hero Archetype

Traits: Courteous, kind, charismatic, sympathetic, extroverted, optimistic

Perception: “Too nice for this world,” but still popular and with good public image for their positive attitude and natural charm

Fatal Flaw: Hubris

The desire to win, to remain desired and adored by others manifests in hubris. This leads to over competitiveness, a saviour complex, and underlying belief that they could do things better than others.

The Emperor Archetype

Traits: Pragmatic, logical, stoic, rational, rigid, introverted

Perception: Seen as intimidating by most, but also acknowledged as being efficient and reliable for their pure pragmatism

Fatal Flaw: Ambition

Power hungriness, to have more under control, less variables and less unknown. The emperor is willing to go very far to achieve what they wish for.

The Fool Archetype

Traits: Sarcastic, rebellious, witty, sharp, unserious, funny, extroverted

Perception: Irresponsible and reckless, short sighted — but also able to think outside the box and do things no one else can.

Fatal Flaw: Impulsivity

Driven by heart over mind, the fool is putting caution to the wind with their decisions at times. This can lead to many disadvantageous situations for them.

The Hermit Archetype

Traits: shy, perceptive, sensing, curious, cautious

Perception: A more quiet, soft spoken type of person who may often blend into the background. Also seen as being smart, intelligent, and good at communicating, figuring out what people desire.

Fatal Flaw: Hesitation

Always putting caution first, deliberation, and other people’s feelings — this can lead to the hermit neglecting themselves, or not being able to make firm decisions when it matters.

Will this be a standalone?

A: yes, it will be. there will be two parts to the story, but it is all contained as one book.

Will there be more RO’s?

A: not for now, at least. to be honest, coding takes a long time, and adding more would only make each update take longer. i’m trying to ensure that everything in the novel is high quality, and that i can get this done.

How long will chapters take?

A: Depends heavily on length of chapter and my current workload in school + extracurriculars. 2-3 months at most, hopefully every month!

Are you accepting asks/what is allowed?

A: yes, and basically anything. if there’s anything i’m uncomfortable with answering, i likely just won’t answer. so send whatever you want.

How long will the book be?

A: i’ve mapped it out roughly, and it is looking like ~18 chapters.

thank you for reading this far!
