Inner Empire [v1.8] By Defiant Explorer

Defiant Explorer Games released a new game called Inner Empire and the version is 1.8. The game’s story is about «I’m not a chosen one, not a special, not a savior. Just an ordinary girl of flesh and blood. The world around me is changing. The time of bronze is passing. The time of iron is coming. Only the blood they shed remains the same. Red. Something new is rising to shake off the old into a void. But who gives a shit? All I care about is the difficult situation I find myself in…»

Update 1.8 (public version)

1. I have added a number of corrections to the text of the Prologue and the beginning of Chapter One, which Gladly suggested. Now the text there should be smoother.
2. The phrase in the dialogue with Iolanta, canceling the possible first sex scene with her:
“Take it yourself. I’m not your servant. Or whoever you imagine me to be in your head.”
Has been replaced with:
“Just hand you that amphora? Yeah, sure… Your innuendos stink with indecency! I’m not a pervert or whatever you think I am… Get your damn amphora yourself!”
Thanks to Anika 88 and Ffive, who drew my attention to the fact that in the original context, this phrase could be interpreted as Noble (Origin) role-play rather than a universal refusal of a sex scene with Iolanta. Now the phrase sounds more unambiguous.
3. Thanks to Lord Ja’aM of Roland, who found a broken link in the previous update. It’s fixed now.
4. Thanks to Lonely Wolf for finding a bunch of typos.
5. And lots of little things that I found and corrected myself.

Developer Notes:

Game features.

1. No repetitive stuff. All scenes, situations, and dialogues are unique and not repeated. All of them.
2. Developed dialogue system. You choose every line of the protagonist, and the NPCs react specifically to them.
3. Your choices matter. Mostly.
4. Simple, but fairly versatile role-playing system that doesn’t encourage metagaming or save-load scamming.
5. You play as a sexy chick. What? I think that’s an important feature.
6. Explicit sex scenes. Always optional or avoidable. For realism and immersion purposes only, of course. The story doesn’t revolve around them, but they are here. Waiting for you. In the dark.
7. Emphasis on social interactions and dialogues. No combat system. The violence by itself is more than present.
8. Written in my beautiful broken English. Ah ah ah. Don’t complain. Just don’t.
9. Viewer discretion advised. The game isn’t shy about bringing up sensitive topics. Yeah, those savages…
