Esper: Fugitive

Esper is a semi-dystopian interactive fiction story that focuses mainly on characters and plot. That includes interactions with npcs, the emotions of your characters and other things.

I’ve written linear stories before but this is my first time writing a branching interactive novel, so bear with me as I figure this all out

In a world much like our own, with the addition of flairs - a fancy term for what we would call superpowers, you are  an  Esper. Someone with a powerful psychic flair. Your life was fairly mundane, you had two parents, were home schooled, had hobbies, interests, dreams. Was. And had. Now you’re on the run from a government organisation that wants you dead. And you have been for the past few years. The government thinks you’re too powerful, too unpredictable to be allowed to lead a normal life. You’re being punished for being talented. Evade arrest, avoid suspicion and deceive the agents after you, all while trying not to die.

• Play as female, male or nonbinary with the ability to customise name, appearance,  skills, personality, and more.

• Make choices that will affect your character, other characters and the story - to a degree.

• Develop your abilities as an Esper, either learning to control them or letting them run free.

• Create havoc and annoy the people around you.

• Get thrown into many a dangerous situation - worst of all, the social ones!

• Romance one of the 4 love interests, all gender customisable

• Or simply grow you friendships with them

• Attempt to aid the very agents after you!

• And much, much more!

Leith/Lena (M/F)

The leader of the group sent after you. Stoic and cold, yet surprisingly good with people. They are ambitious and passionate about their job. Yet they seem to harbour some hatred for who they work for.

Sean/Saorise (M/F)

The brawn of the group. Kind and amiable, they can be a bit airheaded at times but their heart is almost always in the right place. Their indifference towards their work is odd when coupled with the way they act as though they’re hiding something.

Ilijah/Imani (M/F)

The techhead of the group. Irritable and aloof, they seem hard to get along with. Although generally disinterested with everything, they quickly become captivated once they’re doing what they love: hacking. They seem to bear an unusual amount of anger yet shut down when questioned.

Veran/Valerie (M/F)

The brains of the group. Charming and playful, they rarely take anything seriously. Always ready to make a joke or find the light in a situation, there’s an air of sadness lurking beneath their bright façade.

Here is my Tumblr for updates and to talk about the game.

Please let me know if the MC seems too feminine or white etc. or the ROs seem too fem/masc. And maybe even discuss with me ways to improve it.
