Create a short narrative of choice


Character based narrative

  • In the slums of the City, the Mob has got complete power over the day to day life of the people. Everyone needs to pay "protection tax" in order to be able to have a normal life
scene setting

  • Zen, our hero, is a poor gypsy boy trying to create a better life for himself and everyone else around him. He lives in the slums of the City with his tribal family, in extreme poverty. He starts off as a pickpocket in order to help his family, in a Robin Hood style - He steals from the mobs and gives to his people in order to be able to make ends meet.
Zen - the hero

  • One day he pickpockets the wrong person, he is the best in this trade at stealing and killing ( similar to "The Wolf" from Pulp Fiction)
  • If Zen wants to save his family, he needs to create an alliance with The Wolf
The Wolf

  • However his  family gets killed and he starts plotting his revenge
.... 4 years go by




  • He is now trying to take over the mob.
  • In this process, he is slowly drawn into the criminal life and gets corrupted. He has nothing else to live for, and it is very easy for The Wolf to see his vulnerability and turn him into a heartless criminal. The wolf gives him a sword

  • While before he was restricting his activity to just scare tactics, he now starts hurting people and is on a fast track to killing as well
  • The Wolf has his own plan to overturn The Boss and become the boss himself with Zen's help
  • Zen agrees to help The Wolf for the selfish reason that he wants to become The Boss himself
  • The Boss is a woman and Zen, knows that if he finds her weak points, he will be able to influence her
  • The Boss is asking Zen to spy on the Wolf as she suspects something 
  • The Wolf gets closer to Zen and considers him a friend and starts confessing some his plans
  • Zen uses this friendship against him and is playing the Wolf and the Boss against each other
  • Zen gets the Wolf and The Boss to have a confrontation in which they start fighting and while they are both half dead, they realise that this is all Zen's doing, and at this exact point, Zen finishes them both off and he becomes The Boss
  • Zen is now The Boss, and normality is restored - people of the slums still have to pay their dues to the mob, but now the mob is represented by one of their own
As a player you will be able to play as The Wolf or Zen.
Depending on the character, you will follow different paths of action and have different quests
You can switch between characters mid play.
