The Hidden Village
A village where strength is measured by rank, and rank is proven in the field. You have a team, a mentor with a past of his own, and a neighboring village whose truce is hanging by a thread.
World is ready — start right away. Each move costs $0.01, first ten free.
What is this world
A world where ninja clans hide their settlements in remote mountains and forests. Every fighter commands a unique technique passed down by blood. The Village of the Twilight Leaf lives by a code of honor: the weak are weeded out, the strong are paired up. You passed your shinobi trial yesterday, and now your team is waiting for you.
At stake: In an hour you head out on a mission to capture a deserter, but the captain still hasn't said who'll lead the group, and everyone is waiting for you to slip up.
Who awaits you here
Everyone has their own interest in you. Their attitude shifts based on your actions, and you can see it on a scale right in the game.
A cold-blooded strategist; speaks sparingly, but every word cuts like a blade, and he never raises his voice.
Wants from you: To test whether you'll crack under pressure on your very first mission, and if you don't, to make a tool out of you.
Looks absent-minded but notices every detail; loves needling newcomers to test their reactions.
Wants from you: To find out where you got the strange scar on your wrist: she's seen one like it in the torture archive.
Always smiling a smile so wide it gets unsettling; talks with a whistle through his teeth and loves asking awkward questions point-blank.
Wants from you: To find out what technique you're hiding: your personal file has three missing days, and that's the only reason you weren't dropped.
Where it all begins
The evening chill trickles down the bamboo railings of the covered veranda. Three shadows lie on the mats: Captain Aoki meditates with his eyes closed, Midori lazily cleans a kunai, Yukito chews a blade of grass, sprawled against a post. The team is only waiting for you. The silence has lasted a full minute, and no one starts talking.
Yukito Nozawa — The blade of grass rolls from one corner of his mouth to the other. So, hero of the final trial? There are four of us, one mission, and the captain won't say who leads. Word is your personal file has three blank days, right before the trial. Squints, smiling. Who was training you back then, or are you just naturally that lucky?
This is one possible opening. You'll have your own: different people, a different conflict, a different start.
Where it may lead
- Take a mission above your rank and pull it off
- Figure out why your mentor keeps holding you back
- Choose between the village's orders and your partner
- Master a technique you were never supposed to see
- Go rogue and find out who follows you
How it might begin
The world is rebuilt for every player. These are the openings it picks from: you get one of them, and from there the story follows your choices.
What stands between you: a partner who didn't want them. Tone of the story: team: breaking in and first assignment.
What stands between you: a family technique they were never taught. Tone of the story: personal, with a heavy past.
What stands between you: the village decides what to do with them. Tone of the story: cold: debriefing and distrust.
What stands between you: that person knows more about the village than they should. Tone of the story: detective: who is really leading whom.
What stands between you: the mentor deliberately holds them back. Tone of the story: tense: strength vs discipline.
FAQ:
No. It's a world of its own that runs on the same laws: hidden villages, ranks, teams and techniques. Names and clans are different every time.
No. Missions can be solved through negotiation, surveillance or deception, and the world reacts to how you did it, not only to the result.
Yes, you pick your gender at the start.
How it works
No pre-written answer options. Speak, act, ask — the world accepts what you state as fact and adapts. Actions can be marked with asterisks.
Each character has a scale from −100 to 100. It shifts based on deeds, not polite words, and is visible directly in the game. The world keeps a list of facts that cannot be forgotten: promises, debts, secrets, enemies.
Characters act without your command: they demand, lie, leave, and return. From time to time, a twist occurs that changes the situation. The story is saved — you can return a week later and continue from the same point.
How is this different from character chat:
In the chat, you're talking to a single character, and everything hinges on the conversation. Here, it's a whole world: multiple characters with their own interests in each other, a setting, time of day, and events that happen independently of you. You're not a conversation partner, but a participant in the story.
