Bleeker’s Run

I’m working on an interactive fiction called Bleeker’s Run. 

Here’s the jist

A noir mystery set in the 1920s alternate reality with demons and anthropomorphic creatures instead of humans. The basic plot summary for this one is a character is a bootlegger on the lam from the cops trying to deliver “the goods” (booze, drugs, etc.) to their boss. The character is not magical, instead they have to depend on their biological paranormal abilities (spits poison, claws, venomous fangs, camoflauge, etc) to get out of a physical jam and rely on their intellect and cunning to bargain if need be. 

How many endings?

The most desirable ending: Henry Bleeker, the player, gets the “goods” (in this case the drugs) to the proper distribution point. 

The least desirable ending: Henry Bleeker gets caught by the cops and gets thrown in jail for drug distribution. 

Main character 

Henry Bleeker. He’s a lizard anthro with three main capabilities: spits venom or venom in fangs, claws, and camoflauge. He’s brand new, so there is a lot that can go wrong. It’s a hot summer night in Hellhole but more importantly it’s his first night on the job as a drug mule. 

Here’s the link to play!
