New Heart’s Choice Game! “Ink and Intrigue”—Heed passion’s call on an island of magic!

Posted by: Mary Duffy | Comments (11)

Ink and IntrigueWe’re proud to announce that Ink and Intrigue, the latest in our “Heart’s Choice” line of multiple-choice interactive romance novels, is now available for iOS and Android in the “Heart’s Choice” app. You can also download it on Steam, or enjoy it on our website.

It’s 30% off until October 25th!

Heed magic’s call! Find love on a lush tropical island among immortal warrior-mages as you explore ancient mysteries, craft dragon-rune tattoos, and discover your true loyalties. What passions shape your path?

Ink and Intrigue is an interactive erotic fantasy novel by Leia Talon, where your choices control the story. It’s entirely text-based—300,000 words and hundreds of choices, without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

As a seasoned spy from the kingdom of Minare, you have been sent as an emissary to the Kitherin warrior-mages of Ra’zai, whose tattoos give them supernatural abilities and whose magical rites bond them to powerful creatures from another world.

But, as soon as you enter Ra’zai, you hear the call of the Kitherin. The magic has chosen you, and now, your fingertips tingle and your heart pounds. An unnamed need grows within, like a thirst that can’t be quenched. Magic infuses your very breath.

As your magic expands, so does your heart. Which of your new Kitherin companions calls to you? Are you attracted to Teo, the soft-spoken tattoo artist whose muscular body is covered in tattoos and whose eyes blaze with amber fire? When he paints dragon runes onto your skin, do you feel the power of his heart as well as his magic? Or to Kai, whose dark hair contrasts with brilliant blue eyes: his mastery as a warrior is unmatched, but his quest to overturn a corrupt regime has earned him the opposition of the Kitherin Council. Perhaps you prefer Rae, a feisty fellow initiate, with her dark skin and wicked smile. Rae’s determination is legendary—she has failed the trials before, but never stops trying—and her boisterous spirit is unbreakable. Or maybe Thea is the one for you, with her sea-green eyes and copper hair. Elegant and serene, dedicated guardian of the temple—but if you earn her trust, she will show you her playful side, and sing the songs of her Fae ancestors.

But what does this call mean for your duty to the crown? Will you confess the clandestine role you’ve played for your king, or keep your secrets and leave your past behind? What information will you send back? Will you use your position to build alliances with the Kitherin Council and other nations, or will you use your spy skills of blackmail and poison to get what you want?

• Play as male, female, or nonbinary; gay, straight, bi, and/or asexual.

• Dive through portals to strengthen your ties with your bonded creature, and explore other worlds!

When magic calls, where will your heart find its home?

  1. It’s out! After the demo was posted on the Spring Thing earlier this year, it’s finally out!

  2. I am so thrilled to see this out in the world. I have been a fan of @leiatalon from the first time I read Their Majesties’ Pleasure, and in Ink and Intrigue, she returns to a new setting and character in the same world to deliver another story full of romance, drama, and rich details that speak to all five senses.

    This game is such a treat. There are four wonderful characters to romance, and I felt swept off my feet by each one. There are some moments of tender connection, and some very explicit sexy scenes if you’re so inclined - or you can play without romance altogether and spend the story focused on adventure and friendship.

    Thank you, Leia, for blessing us once again with your beautiful imagination.

  3. YES! It’s here! It’s here! :revolving_hearts: :herb:

    After a year of non-stop work and over 300k words, it’s finally out in the world!

    Thank you, Aletheia! And thank you to everyone else who has shared encouragement and excitement for this game (and TMP)! I appreciate you so much and hope you enjoy the characters, the world, and the many adventures you can take in Ink and Intrigue!

  4. Hey, I can’t seem to run it on Steam. Says it can’t connect to Steam, error code 77779.
