The prince is dead. His kingdom lies in ruins. All life in the country of Sothien has been extinguished to facilitate the rebirth of the dark dragon god known as Shura, ruler of death.

You are that dragon. And you are paralyzed with grief, for before you were revived, you were living a human life, and you fell in love with the prince.

Process your grief or succumb to it. Seek out destructive solutions to your problems. Blame yourself because the alternative is admitting you, too, are a victim in all of this. Only one thing is certain: there is no moving on from this loss. Not for you.

So bittersweet & beautiful, I loved it.  Is this your first game?  It's amazing!

Also, what Twine stylesheet is that?

Thank you! And yes, it's my first completed (and published) Twine game. I usually work in more linear fiction, so it was fun to write something more circuitous and try to work that into the narrative.

It's not a stylesheet! I just used Chapbook and set the game to dark mode by default.
