Hello everyone! I recently released the prologue (5.4k words without code) to my demo on cogdemos. If you’re interested, I’d love for you to check it out, and perhaps even give me some feedback? It’s my first IF and I’m excited to learn! <3
Here a summary of what it’s about:
This story is about finding love and surviving in Ancient Rome… as a Germanic slave.
[genres: romance, historical fiction, low fantasy, dark]
After a skirmish close to the Roman border, you are captured and transported to a city. Your capturer forces you into slavery and sells you off to a patrician family - wealthy Romans, in social and political standings only underneath the Emperor.
Desperately you try to adapt to these new circumstances - you don’t even speak their language, know nothing about their culture… It’s a whole different world for you. At first, you struggle to even communicate with the people that call themselves your “familia”. Will you manage to live amongst them or will you refuse to obey to rules and orders you are unfamiliar with?
What will your fate be? Will you stay with your new family, will you try to escape to your old family, or will you look for a better future elsewhere?
Will you try to abandon old beliefs and adapt to new ones? Or is the hold of the old Gods too strong on you to let go?
And what role does the person who enslaved you really play in all of this?
