Defiled Hearts: The Barbarian (alpha demo)

A story about love and revenge set in Ancient Rome.

Please note that the game is intended for mature audience only (18+). The public demo doesn't include such scenes but the finished game will be rated 18+.

You are one of the last surviving members of your tribe destroyed by the Romans. As the last remaining druid of your religion, it is your duty to make things right. In a desperate search for vengeance you enlist into the Legion under a fake name and a made up past. You were supposed to be dead, but now you are an Auxiliary of Rome - a foreigner fighting for the might of the Empire. You’re alone, surrounded by enemies. Also, there's a foreign voice in your head, urging you to kill. Is it your deity, or something else entirely?

Will you find love in the last place you thought possible?

• Customize your own angry Pict: choose your sex, gender, and sexuality.
• There are 5 romanceable characters: an arrogant Centurion who killed your father, a rude noblewoman, a protective Tribune, and a gentle merchant. And, of course, your childhood friend (who seems somewhat... changed?)

Thank you, I hope you enjoy!

Please note that this is a work in progress, which means that chapters are to be edited later. I welcome any feedback you might have!

The public demo is about 240k words long, excluding the code. The closed alpha demo on Patreon is around 170k words long (the closed alpha is a direct continuation of the game, it starts where the public demo ended).
