The game ends after the van scene right?

Yep but it’s gonna be longer then that once I finish that chapter

[throne-of-blood-and-roses-if]

OMG your writing is so good and I also love that you were inspired by Odessa Dating Games, it was so good. I'm so excited to see where your if goes!

Thank you so much—I try to give Odessa a shoutout every chance I get. But saying I was in love with that IF would be an understatement. I was exploring every inch of it now imagine my reaction when Dashingdon went down? Gutted doesn’t even begin to describe it.

Also, I don’t know if you all like how I’ve been using the two new hosts—Milo and Lena—but I’d love to hear your thoughts. Do they work? Do they fit? My DMs are always open if you want to talk about that, or anything else really. Including your wild theories on where the story could go.

Stay safe and be happy I love you all

Yall go back and vote had to change the time on the poll I did not mean for it to be a week

[throne-of-blood-and-roses-if]

I just played the demo, and damn, it's spectacular. I really liked the plot, but your writing really surprised me, especially in the Yandere route. I feel the tension and the whole creepy setting. You could write horror perfectly. I'm really excited for the game and hope to see more soon. Your writing is incredible.

[CAMERA OPENS. The Behind the Blood & Roses logo fades in over moody, cinematic music. The intro plays out with flashes from the latest chapter—tense expressions, rain-soaked silhouettes, glimpses of masked figures. The final shot is a rose, falling in slow motion.]

[Cut to studio. Dimly lit, elegant, with velvet drapes and a modern black-glass table. Two hosts sit under warm spotlights. MILO leans forward, smiling easily, while LENA sits poised, cloaked in black lace and shadows.]

MILO:

“Good evening, everyone. You’re watching Behind the Blood & Roses, the official aftershow where we break down the drama, danger, and deeply questionable decisions unfolding inside the Trials.”

[He winks, resting one hand across a leather folder full of notes.]

MILO:

“I’m your host, Milo —former pageant dropout, full-time commentator, and part-time chaos consultant.”

[He motions beside him with a flourish.]

MILO:

“And this—this glorious black hole of opinions—is my cohost, Lena. Don’t let the lace fool you. She’s a total softie.”

LENA (deadpan):

“…You talk too much.”

MILO (grinning):

“Exactly. We balance each other out.”

[Their usual rhythm settles in: Milo with charisma, Lena with quiet observation. The screen behind them now shows flashes of horror references: The Thing, Resident Evil, The Grudge.]

MILO:

“Let’s talk horror. Our dear creator—the puppetmaster of this beautiful disaster—is a huge horror fan. We’re talking V/H/S, Dead Space, Wrong Turn, The Last Shift. If it drips blood or crawls upside down , they’ve watched it. Twice.”

LENA:

“They write with that influence sometimes. That sudden shift in tone? That was intentional for that particular scene. They wanted to rattle you.”

MILO:

“And based on the reaction? It worked. I was two seconds from throwing my phone down.”

[He places a hand over his chest.]

MILO:

“More importantly, they didn’t expect the story to resonate so strongly. The support has been overwhelming. They’re deeply grateful.”

LENA (quietly):

“They see you. And they’re listening.”

MILO:

“Which brings us to tonight’s viewer poll.”

[The display behind them switches to vague but stylish outfit silhouettes with the text: “SHOULD CLOTHING CUSTOMIZATION BE ADDED?”]

MILO:

“The author’s been torn—should they add clothing customization to the game? Or let the story speak for itself without visual fashion details?”

LENA:

“They’re struggling to decide. That’s where you come in.”

MILO:

“There’s a poll up right now. Click it. Tap it. Burn it into your retinas. Whatever works. Vote on whether or not you’d like to see customizable outfits for your character.”

[A clean graphic appears on-screen: “Poll Now Live – Vote Below” with a stylized clickable icon and social tag.]

LENA (glancing toward the camera):

“And if you have specific ideas? styles, accessories—whatever you’re imagining… the author’s DMs are open.”

MILO:

MILO (grinning at the camera):

“Wide open, baby. Whether it’s combat boots or silk gloves—send them your visions. You could help shape the look of the Trials.”

[He leans in slightly, voice playful but clear.]

MILO:

“And that goes for more than just the main character. Depending on how things go, the Heir might get a wardrobe too. The author hasn’t locked anything in yet, but your input could tip the scale.”

“LENA (softly):

“If you’ve got ideas… speak now or else.”

[The screen fades to black again. A single red petal falls silently. The aftershow logo returns, followed by the message: “Vote now. DM open. We’re watching.”]

MILO (voice-over):

“This has been Behind the Blood & Roses. We’ll see you in the next chapter.”

[throne-of-blood-and-roses-if]

Someone let me know if they’re getting errors I updated Throne Of Blood And Roses last night

[throne-of-blood-and-roses-if]

Wait, so when we choose those dialogue options with personality types, are they for the MC? For the Heir? Or are the MC and the Heir both affected and they'll share similar personality types?

Being able to mold the Heir is such an interesting concept! I want to understand how it all works

It’s for the mc I just didn’t do it for the heir in this chapter since “technically” you didn’t meet the heir you just met someone who has the same name and gender as the heir but there will be these special dialogue flags that will trigger if you have a certain score for a personality for both mc and heir/Yandere heir

[throne-of-blood-and-roses-if]

Are....

Are poisoned diets something we need to be worried about... 🤔

Yes, i reread your previous statement 🤣

Yes

Cut me some slack man😅

[throne-of-blood-and-roses-if]

can we choose heir's personality ?

[Triumphant orchestral music swells. The lights of the Royal Arena blaze to life. The host steps forward with a dazzling smile, their voice smooth as silk over a live mic.]

“Ah, dear viewers across the Kingdom — let me ask you something. Have you ever heard of Odessa dating games ? No? A tragedy, truly. A legend lost to time. A divine gift, some say — and now? A forbidden relic of the golden age of romance.”

[The host twirls a single silver rose between their fingers.]

“But tonight, we honor its legacy.”

[A Screen behind them flashes with flickers of the Heir’s silhouette, turning slowly, cloaked in darkness.]

“You see, when our Heir steps into the spotlight — whether it’s their charming public self or their… let’s say… more intense side — in those rare, intimate POV shifts, the Heir’s thoughts become yours to shape.”

[The host lowers their voice, conspiratorial.]

“That’s right. You choose how they respond. shy, cold, rude — or something far more dangerous. Each personality option leads to a different reaction. Different outcomes. Different cracks in the mask.”

[The rose drops. The lights pulse blood red.]

“And here’s where it gets interesting. Stay consistent. Keep leaning into a specific personality, and the Heir will start to notice. They’ll send you favor texts — special lines, hidden memories, twisted gifts of affection — all tied to the persona you’re nurturing.”

[The host steps closer to the camera. The crowd fades beneath a swell of quiet, tension-laced music. The lights dim, framing only their silhouette.]

“Choose your words carefully, contestant...”

[A pause. The host tilts their head, the silver rose now wilted in on the arena floor.]

“In Throne of Blood and Roses, affection is power. And power? Power can twist. So flirt, flatter, push, provoke your way to the top — but know this…”

[A soft hum, like static just beginning to creep in. The screen behind them flickers with the image of the Heir.]

“…You’re not just trying to winning their heart.”

[The host steps back into the shadow. Their voice drops, solemn and sharp.]

“You’re fighting for survival as well”

[Lights snap out. A slow, echoing heartbeat plays once. The screen cuts to black.]

…So yes in short, you can pick different personality responses throughout the story. You’re just not locked into a single fixed personality from the start. Instead, you shape your character and the heir on how you respond in different scenes.

🎙️ Ladies, Gentlemen, and Future Contestants of the Crown 🎙️

LIVE from the Kingdom of Eden

Step right up, because do we have an announcement for you!

Now, before we dive into the drama, let me be your humble host—and your author’s very tired but enthusiastic stand-in tonight! That’s right, folks, I’m here to give you the inside scoop straight from the writing desk, because the Throne of Blood and Roses dev has been running a real-life endurance trial of their own: overtime shifts, saving up for upcoming Japan trip, and just enough exhaustion to make the King himself raise an eyebrow.

So if you’ve been wondering where the updates went or why your messages haven’t been answered yet—don’t worry, they see you, they love you, and they’ve been chipping away at Chapter Two like a contestant dodging poisoned diets. The typos you spotted? Yup, they’re being fixed behind the scenes, one exhausted keystroke at a time. Patience, dear nobles. Excellence takes time—and a WHOLE LOT of caffeine.

But enough preamble! You came here for a taste of chaos, didn’t you?

Well hold onto your masks, because tonight, for one night only, I present to you a sneak peek from one of the most unhinged, theatrical, and dangerously charming versions of the Heir ever conjured behind castle doors. They laugh, they cry, they give away death threats like their candy.

That’s right. We’re talking about the yandere heir Jester personality.

What happens when the Heir stops pretending? When the jokes don’t quite land right, and the silence that follows makes your skin crawl?

Well, darling… you’re about to find out.

Enjoy the read.

🎭🌹✨👑

The click of the lock echoes across marble.

You step inside first, rain slicked and grinning.

Alexis follows. Their coat leaves a dripping trail behind, each drop a breadcrumb back from your mistake—

or your triumph, depending on you see it.

The door shuts a little too hard.

“I can’t believe we did that.”

You toss your cloak over a velvet armchair, water spotting the fabric.

You don’t care. You’re still humming.

“Ah-ah, no regrets,”

you sing, spinning once with theatrical flair.

“I spoke to them, Lex. Face to face.”

Alexis is already pacing.

“You know what today is. You knew, and you still did it. Do you even care?”

You throw yourself backward onto the bed in a languid sprawl, one arm draped over your eyes like a tragic lead in a stage play.

“Not particularly.”

Alexis glares. Their jaw ticks.

“The entire nobility is waiting to see you. With Cain. The king and queen. The nobles. The press.”

you groan, dragging your hands down your face like you could peel it off.

“Cain Vale, poster child of purebred mediocrity and practiced, porcelain smiles.”

“They’re your fiancé.”

“They’re a placeholder, Lex. A bloodline’s bargaining chip, pressed into my future by men so old they forgot I’d have a life.”

You lean back, smile curling like smoke.

Eyes fixed on the high ceiling—like it’s whispering something only you can hear.

“But they…”

The grin blooms again.

“They talked to me. Didn’t even recognize me. It was like…”

You stop. Something changes in your voice.

Alexis watches. Carefully.

“You’ve never went this far before with your stalking.”

“No,”

you say, no hesitation.

“Not like that.”

They cross their arms.

“We shouldn’t have gone.”

“I had to.”

Your voice softens. Tightens.

“You saw them. The way they smiled. How close they were and still didn’t even recognize me.”

You lean forward. Eyes wide. Almost shining.

“It was beautiful.”

Alexis’s hands curl into fists.

“What if something had gone wrong? What if someone noticed something?”

“Come now.”

You rise again, arms spread like a conjurer.

“No one really knows my face, lex. Just my name, and gender. I could walk through Eden in rags with a sign, and they’d probably offer me coin before anything else.”

“That’s not the point and you know it.”

“Then tell me, Lex—”

You tilt your head. Smile.

“What is?”

Silence.

Alexis breaks it with a sigh, heavy and tired.

“I’m getting the stylists. Ten minutes. Then it’s time to be Cain’s dream date.”

“Oh joy,”

you mutter, turning to the mirror.

Alexis pauses at the door.

“Whatever you’re planning… don’t.”

You raise a hand in lazy farewell.

“Would I ever?”

The door shuts.

Everything changes.

You walk to the vanity. Place both palms flat against the marble. Lean in.

Your breath fogs the glass.

Your reflection still smiles.

But the light in your eyes?

Gone.

Drip.

Drip.

Rainwater falls off your person to the floor like seconds ticking.

You whisper it—low, almost reverent:

“They didn’t know who I was.”

A laugh bubbles up. Light. Airy. Just slightly off.

“They looked at me...”

You lift it to your face. Hollow eyes stare back.

The laugh returns.

Quieter.

Colder.

(P.S I love you guys😋)

[throne-of-blood-and-roses-if]

Slamming my fists onto the ground and crying after learning that I lost the opportunity to be a furry 😔 Devastation and heartbreak 💔 🥀🥀

Yall are some funny people💀

[throne-of-blood-and-roses-if]

Fun fact: When I first started planning this project, I was going to include magic and other races. You would’ve been able to choose between Human, Elf, or Beastkin for your MC. As for magic, there would have been a test in the beginning to determine which type suited you best. The reason was I didn’t know how I could have incorporated magic alongside technology and royalty.

[throne-of-blood-and-roses-if]

Hello!! I loved the demo and the yandere heir already. I do have a questions though and that is, is the MC considered canonically attractive?

I won’t lie I honestly don’t know how to answer that if you like someone you like them I mean if the heir of the kingdom likes you I guess you got something going for you I’m sorry I really don’t know how to answer it my way of likening someone is different I kinda don’t go off looks at first mainly your personality for me but again I’m really sorry

[throne-of-blood-and-roses-if]

Do MC and Mira have the same Father?

Yes they share the same father MC and their younger sister, Mira, are full-blood siblings.🙃

[throne-of-blood-and-roses-if]

Hey I just wanted to come out and say I love ur demo especially the yandere option can’t wait to see more and my question was would you ever be open to a pateron

Honestly, I’m really not sure yet. I work full-time and I’m a parent, so I get to the demo whenever I can. I’m still just starting out, and to be real with you, I don’t have anything to offer for a Patreon right now. I’d also feel bad taking money from people when I’m still learning as I go. I’d rather keep it free and just do it for the love of the story and the world I’m building.

Now don’t get me wrong, I do accept tips lol, I’m kidding!😂

But really though the support I get from you all is more than enough. Truly. I appreciate every single message I get and I love you guys for being here with me.

Good night

[throne-of-blood-and-roses-if]

Hey everyone! Before I head off to bed, I just wanted to drop a quick update — I’ve finished revising the non-yandere cashier route and made a bunch of other small fixes and tweaks. Also, I’ve seen all your messages, and I just want to say thank you so much. Honestly, I didn’t think people would find my idea all that entertaining, but your support really means a lot. I’m finishing chapter one and I’m already half through chapter two I can’t wait too see everyone reactions to this. I also on doing a teaser of chapter two so please look forward to that. Anyway, Sleep well.

[throne-of-blood-and-roses-if]

I hate Bryce, I hate him so much. Someone needs to get rid of him IMMEDIATELY. I don't care if he's only there briefly. I've never had such burning hatred for a fake person.

Yeah…. I had to go to some dark places to write this character 😅

[throne-of-blood-and-roses-if]

"Despite everything, it's still you'' Imani do you want me to bawl already? Before the story even began??

yes i also put a walking dead reference in there as well if it tackles your fancy (it's on the cashier route)
