The Art of Masquerade

A Narrative Interactive Fiction

A Thrilling Tale of Survival, Friendship, and the Power of Art

Step into the shadowed streets of an alternate Victorian Venice, a city of breathtaking beauty and dark intrigue. In this richly crafted narrative, you are Gia, a masterful mask-maker whose creations are so lifelike, they blur the line between art and reality. But in a world powered by Elastonum—a miraculous energy-storing rubber—where art intertwines with politics and power, not all is as it seems.

Unseen forces are at play. Venice teeters on the edge of transformation, and your life, your craft, and your very identity are about to be tested in ways you could never imagine.

An Immersive and Mature Adventure

This is no ordinary "Choose Your Own Adventure" game. The Art of Masquerade combines deep storytelling with themes of identity, survival, and the collision between art and ambition. Every decision matters in a story that refuses to hold your hand or offer easy answers.

• Shape Your Path: Will you expose the truth, protect those you love, or simply try to survive in a world where even masks can kill?
• Thoughtful and Engaging: A gripping narrative for players who enjoy stories with depth, meaningful choices, and unexpected twists.
• For Mature Audiences: This isn’t a lighthearted fantasy. It’s a story-driven experience that explores complex themes and delivers an edge-of-your-seat adventure.

A Venice Like You’ve Never Seen Before

• Alternate History Setting: Step into a world without electricity or gunpowder, where everything runs on Elastonum, an otherworldly rubber that powers Venetian innovation.
• Art Meets Deception: As a mask-maker, your craft is more than art—it’s a weapon, a disguise, and a tool for survival.
• Steampunk Without Steam: A fresh twist on the genre, blending timeless beauty with cutting-edge rubber-powered technology.

Why You’ll Enjoy It

• A Story Worth Experiencing: This isn’t a juvenile fantasy. It’s an emotional, immersive tale about survival, artistry, and the weight of choices.
• Free to Play: No ads, no paywalls. Pay what you want to support the artistry behind this unique game.
• Rich, Branching Narrative: Every choice leads to new revelations. Who will Gia become in a world of masks and lies?

A City of Beauty, A World of Danger

Venice pulses with life—a city of canals and courtyards, of gondolas and grandeur. But beneath its glittering surface lies a web of secrets, conspiracies, and power struggles. As Gia, you’ll explore a world where even art cannot escape corruption, and survival depends on navigating treacherous waters.

Will you protect your craft, preserve your soul, or risk everything to uncover the truth?

What’s Next?

For now, my focus is on refining and sharing The Art of Masquerade with the world. But this is just the beginning. With your support and feedback, I hope to continue creating more games that challenge, inspire, and entertain. Whether it’s a continuation of Gia’s story or an entirely new adventure, I’m excited to see where the threads of creativity will take us next.
