A light-hearted interactive fiction game about soulmates, chances and choices, written in ChoiceScript.

Here at Soulmates Inc we specialize in chance meetings!

Love happens.

It takes by the storm. It is lucky, it is cruel, it makes no sense, it elevates. It is beautiful, it rears its ugly head, then it is beautiful once again. Now that, humans can manage on their own.

Soulmate-grade connection is an entirely different brand. Enter you. That's your brand. It requires dedicated labor. Whimsical meetings. Nuance.

As a soul-link, you arrange for those destined matches to happen using the powers of glamor at your disposal. An ancient practice, really, though, as with everything, it has evolved and happily marched with the times. You work out of an office, have a phone plan, a lease, and a favorite restaurant. Your boss is not a half-naked man with a bow and arrows but a fashionably dressed man who goes to a gym and drives an electrical Mustang.

It is nice. Modern.

Just one rule. The only rule, in fact. A scripture, if you will: never interact with a soul directly.

Which is precisely why your most recent half-match staring at your confused face is so damn bad. Worse yet, they can see right through your glamor for some reason.

Now what?..

love is all around you but it does not have to be for you: play as aro, ace, bi, gay or straight. Your romantic prospects are three, but each has a story to tell

explore who you are: a firm and enthusiastic believer, a burned-out office worker, or a skeptical soul-link questioning their purpose

use and evolve your soul-link powers: Empathy and Shroud

keep up with your job duties and bring people together while trying to protect your employer from a greater looming threat

someone is throwing around heavy words like 'destiny', but dealing with existential questions is entirely optional!

Amber | Andrew Wyatt Once a high-performer soul-link, they flew too close to the sun and snooped around where one does not snoop around. Having fallen from grace at a company that believes in chances, Wyatt is back on probation, though under your supervision. The light is snuffed out of their eyes, and instead of being a firm believer, Wyatt now drips disillusioned pearls of what they think is wisdom.

A languid redhead who wears sunglasses more often than not.

Samuel | Samantha C. Powell Sam has a steady job, does weekly family visits and always parks the bike properly. How do you learn that? Sam is also your sparkling new charge, a common everyperson, a salt of the earth—nope, not that simple at all! You cannot seem to find their soulmate (never happens) and they can see through your glamor (never happens either). To be fair, Sam is freaked out by it, too.

Your sporty charge in a wrinkle-free T-shirt with a mess of locs held back by a band.

Martin | Mia Romero A hectic ball of energy that is a human person, they are passionate about their distaste for your employer's business and are happy to go in length about it. Romero is messy, yet strangely put together in their belief: a hurricane that may sweep you off your feet if you are not careful enough. They know things, things no human should. You should probably report that to your boss...

A city dweller with hair tied sloppily in a short low ponytail, perfectly matched with dramatic eyebags.

Demo Update

Here at Soulmates Inc we specialize in chance meetings!

As a soul-link, your job is to guide two people entrusted in your care to one another in a fateful meeting, for they are each other's soulmates. Aided by the soul-link powers, you will craft a story that will be told over and over to others, changed and misremembered or kept as faithful as humanly possible. Without your help, they would not find one another.

P.S.: a regular reminder to refrain from referring to yourself or your coworkers as Cupid.

Demo Update

Here at Soulmates Inc we specialize in chance meetings!

|| LINK to the demo || [62k +17k]

This update to the first case introduces new ways to complete the goals for your chosen meeting setting and employs your character's stats for that. With this, the game will now react properly to the power choices you have made for your MC, potentially locking options that were available in the previous build and unlocking new ones. There are new and rewritten scenes for the art exhibition branch and a whole new path for the game event one, expanding the role of your soul-link powers and enabling no-powers solutions.

All-new options:

pick a fake job

commandeer a digital fleet

get Wyatt banned

Does Nicholas have a crush on MC? is that what Wyatt alludes too when he grins at them? if yes then what does wyatt think of that...

Oh, you picked up on that, fantastic! Nicholas is a big flirt, and under the right circumstances, he takes a particular interest in MC, not in small part because he can sort of sense some ulterior motive, which excites him. It's not a huge crush exactly but it could have grown into one given time. It takes a keen eye to detect a vibe like that, and Wyatt just happens to have it.

They were a bit (begrudgingly) impressed with Nicholas and thought MC was adorable for not noticing it.

if they've been flirting, wyatt lowkey likes it when mc gets attention as long as it's clear that it's not a competition lmao

#soulmatesinc if #asks #a wyatt

[soulmatesinc-if]

mc who was enjoying the silence suddenly noticing at wyatt out the corner of their staring at them:

help 😂 someone get them brown contacts asap!!!

#soulmatesinc if #asks

[soulmatesinc-if]

hey, if scnearios are okay, ro's reaction to a mc who always give them a quick kiss everytime before leaving but forgetting to do one day?

Wyatt: with MC's one foot over the doorstep, Wyatt would call out to them, clicking their tongue and informing them that they have forgotten a very important something. They'd get pouty if MC doesn't get it, lol

Sam: would probably not notice in the moment but it would bug them throughout the day. Once they see each other again, they'd notice that straight after that first greeting kiss the feeling has gone away and they'd be like 'huh' and tell MC "we should do this more often, you know!" referring to the kiss.

Romero: doesn't let them leave, catches their wrist and gets that kiss. "You're not angry with me, are you?" Just making sure.

Im sorry but i'm genuinely wondering how I am supposed to go and romance other ROS after Wyatt said "they cannot rip you out of my head even if they tried" LIKE OH MY GOD?! THAT WAS SO WHOLESOME AND ROMANTIC 😭😭??? it genuinely made me believe that even if our MC had lost their memories of the time with Wyatt she/he would have fix it somehow.

And I was wondering if when Eugene says that Wyatt has someone to impress he was refering to MC or some higher-up 👀

Wyatt just shows up sometimes, you know 😌 But the others have their own ways of going after the hearts and minds, you just wait...

he was refering to MC or some higher-up 👀

to MC 😉 I'm glad you caught that btw!

#soulmatesinc if #asks #a wyatt

[soulmatesinc-if]

How would the ro's react to a stoic and never smiling mc suddenly smiling at what they just said

Wyatt: smiles with them and becomes uncharacteristically quiet for a bit

Sam: takes in their smile, opens their mouth to say something but stops themself

Romero: falls into somewhat flustered silence, mesmerized

Happy Valentine's Day, the in-universe special day for the soul-links, celebrated with an office party!

I've been under the weather these past few days, so all I could muster was directed at the game itself. But in case you haven't already, you can check out the New Year's special mini-game, starring all three of the ROs >>here<<
