Today I will tell you about the game world, the protagonist and the story.
The game takes place in a fantasy setting in a city named Salagara. It’s a capital of a declining but still mighty empire. The city is a center of power and commerce. Any commodity from every corner of the world could be found there. That includes humans and other sentinel beings. As slavery is legal and in fact integral part of the economy.
Our hero is a young man. He was sent to the capital by his parents to study civil service and become a respected imperial bureaucrat. But the city offers too much distractions. Unable to focus on his studies the protagonist was kicked out of the academy. He tried to find a job but lacks any kind of useful skill. Now our hero is faced with a gleam prospect of returning to his parents in shame and, more importantly, to spend his life in a boring provincial town.
Luckily there is still hope. Before departing for Salagara the young man received a letter from his father. It is addressed to a wealthy entrepeneur Hostus Vulvius. Apparently, he owns a favor to the old man. The letter is supposed to be used only in a case of a dire need, but to our hero the current situation seems to fit that description.
He comes to see Hostus Vulvius and finds out that this man owns an establishment that provides sexual services of slaves to a wealthy clientele. It’s called “House of Pleasure”.
The favor that the owner owns to the the protagonist’s father turns out to be pretty big. As our hero gets a job of one of the overseers. He is responsible for slaves’ well-being and their performance with the clients.
Very soon the young man realizes that he really, really likes the new job and has a talent for it. Now his goal is to be promoted and to be put in charge of higher class slaves that serve higher class patrons. During his quest our hero will encounter a lot of important and interesting people, he’ll be involved in political intrigues, meet his childhood crush and learns tons of dirty secrets.
PS. The motion clip is not a part of the game. That’s the result of my experiments with Spine (animation software). It’s the kind of style of animation that I will do for this project.
