The New Thing Early Access Demo v0.1
Added 2021-11-01 16:00:10 +0000 UTCAfter you dropped out of university with neither a rich spouse nor rich family to support you, your old professor pulled strings to secure you employment as a live-in conversation partner for a lonely Jezhani aristocrat. When you arrive to the desolate, isolated Isle of Teteriuk in the depths of winter, you discover a near-derelict estate and an intense conversation partner with a nose for trouble.
Life in this foreign mansion can be exciting - or claustrophobic. As relationships grow in strength and intensity, how will you handle the dangerous secrets you uncover? When your companion’s behaviour grows more erratic, will you pull them back from the brink or stride headlong into peril with them? Who can you trust, and can you find love far from home?
Noblesse Oblige: an Etiquette and Intrigue Adventure is an interactive novella of clandestine romance, unfettered spirituality, gilded cages, and crumbling majesty. I've just finished the first draft of Chapter 3 and it's approx 36K words. The first chapter is 10K words. Play Chapter 1 here!

Ahh wonderful! It was just a couple of little references in CdlC but I realised I wanted to explore... And it's lovely and refreshing to be able to explore a different kind of story after two school ones!

2021-11-02 17:30:10 +0000 UTCI'm excited for this! I already adore the fact that we get to explore more of this world that's different from a school-based setting, and in Jezhan too. I've been intrigued by the location ever since it was first talked about it in CdlC!

2021-11-02 08:23:37 +0000 UTCSo glad you're enjoying so far! It's between Crème de la Crème and Royal Affairs, probably 2-3 years after CldC compared to RA being about 5 years after. I need to crunch the numbers to make sure it all hangs together but that's the rough timeline.

2021-11-02 08:23:17 +0000 UTCOh I love this, I’m super excited to read more! Love the fact that it’s set in the same world, and we get to see more of everything. Here’s me already making heart eyes for Pascha

2021-11-02 08:07:07 +0000 UTCIt looks really great so far (Pascha especially looks interesting 😌), but I have to ask - when does this take place in the timeline? As in, before/after RA/CdlC. Sorry if this has already been answered somewhere
