Soulcreek

Welcome to Illayla; one thousand years after the collapse of contemporary society. 

What happened? No one remembers. 

The human race? Gone.

Centuries later, the last surviving human is found with no memory, no past and a sprightly AI in his head that doesn’t know the difference between humans and computers.

This post-apocalyptic future consist of sparse, primitive tribes that cling to scavenged remnants of revered technology. Their lives are made hazardous by the lethal Blackzones; swathes of abandoned, bountiful lands that are infested with ominous machine-creatures called ‘Demons’. Only the illusive Blackrunners, a sect of deft survivalists, know how to navigate the Blackzones and plunder them for precious Salvage in the name of their clan’s prosperity.

Together with the temperamental husky Loken, the last human must train to become the newest Blackrunner and discover the mysteries of the Blackzones, the incomprehensible creatures stalking them and the contentious question of his own origin.

This is a sci-fi/romance FVN intended to be released in instalments. It features a human male protagonist with a changeable name and a single m/m love interest. Choices may alter dialogue or relationship dynamics, but are mostly used for roleplaying purposes and have no major consequential effects on the story. There will be a single ending.

Soulcreek is a cosmic horror tale at its core, but also features comedy, drama and explicit romance. The story is a slow burn, so don’t expect intense horror from the start.

There’s no update schedule for the project as this is entirely a non-commercial passion project, however I will aim for an update every three months! If you wish to follow the development of project or get in touch with me, the best way is on twitter!
