01 / THE GUIDE
Narrative Premise
You lead a multinational corporation that markets superpowers to the highest bidder, using magic, technology, and stock‑price manipulation to impress shareholders. The mission statement, "Building Better Humans," frames each decision, linking corporate strategy with supernatural capability.
Choices let you pursue world‑saving outcomes, aggressive expansion, or personal enrichment. The text‑only format presents each option as a written scenario, so the story’s direction depends entirely on the selections you make.
- Weigh profit against the mission statement when evaluating options.
- Consider long‑term narrative impact before choosing immediate gains.
02 / THE GUIDE
Character Customization
Players may choose a male or female avatar and play as gay or straight. These selections affect the descriptive text and romance possibilities without altering underlying mechanics.
Because the game is text‑driven, visual customization is limited to the narrative’s description of your character, allowing the story to adapt to the identity you select.
- Pick the identity that best fits your role‑play interests.
- Try different combinations in separate playthroughs to see narrative variation.
03 / THE GUIDE
Romance Options
Three distinct romance arcs are available, each providing unique dialogue and story branches. Relationships develop through the choices you make rather than through combat or resource systems.
Romance outcomes can intersect with corporate alliances and personal motivations, adding layers to the narrative while remaining fully text‑based.
- Track romance cues to anticipate upcoming dialogue shifts.
- Balance romantic pursuits with your corporate objectives.

Time Travel & Alien Negotiations
The story includes the ability to travel through time, opening alternate historical scenarios that influence present corporate conditions. Each time‑travel choice is presented as a textual decision point.
Encounters with alien entities allow negotiation, expanding the narrative beyond Earth‑bound corporate drama. These interactions are also conveyed through written options.
- Experiment with different time‑travel choices to see cause‑and‑effect changes.
- Approach alien negotiations with clear goals in mind.
