Hateship (DEMO)

Your next mission is infiltrating a prestigious rival mob's ball party for their weapon plans and convincing one of your six (or seven?) miserable, monstrous biomech Skakdi colleagues to assist you... or date you while they're at it.

With the boons of a heist always a temptation among outlaws, how well will your new bond with your chosen company last?

Romantic, despicable and delightfully cheeky, Hateship drops you into the palms of a few skeevy, and a few hopelessly messy, disasters for an experience in navigating their dramatic attitudes... or make them worse.

An alternate noir rendition based on the characters and world of Bionicle: a fantastical sci-fi setting where biomechanical figures are capable of elemental and bizarre powers. No prior knowledge of the setting is needed.

This DEMO release, in time for Valentines Day 2023, includes a draft play of three of the seven characters. Further plot and visual refinement is planned in the months afterwards. (Please note that the creator is on a break, so won't be able to fix any bugs until returning. Please see )

If you want updates during production and be right at the front of final release, ! Should romantically monstrous stories be up your alley, that's the best place to be too~
