Overview

Blood Spirals is a visual novel for players who want gritty crime-drama romance with a rough edge. The tone is bleak and tense, with intimacy that comes hard-won.

Story

Kieran Adronic walked away from nine years as a gangster's right hand, trading loyalty for nothing and love for isolation. London hasn't let him move on, and when two women enter his life, old secrets resurface and force him to choose between the man he tried to become and the one he left behind. The path forward may mean returning to the world he escaped.

Gameplay

Players guide Kieran through dialogue and decision points that shape his relationships with the two love interests and determine which of several endings he reaches. Choices carry weight throughout the four episodes, affecting loyalty, trust, and survival — straying too far off course can end badly for Kieran himself. Between story beats, everyday scenes like job hunting and casual encounters give texture to his day-to-day life in London.

Features

Branching four-episode structure where decisions affect both romance and survival
Two distinct love interests with contrasting histories and emotional arcs
3D-rendered scenes with animation for key story and intimate moments
A setting grounded in London's criminal underbelly rather than glamorized fantasy

Notes

One love interest starts the game in a promiscuous role that can shift based on player choices, and the other is written as a survivor of past abuse. Both relationships are mandatory to the story, so readers sensitive to these themes should weigh that before playing.

v0.3.2

Interview renders have annoying light removed (thanks Merlin!)
It is no longer possible to skip the non-linear section where you go job hunting and go for coffee.
Dialogue has been altered at the docks to properly reflect the decisions made.
Episode 2 Part 1
Renders with skeletons left in are fixed (again, big thanks to Merlin)
Making up with Aneta now requires half the relationship points, and so it should be easier to get the scenes at her flat

Episode 2 Part 2
Conversation with Pastor James now changes based on whether you saw the sex scene or not
New variable added to allow the game to check if you saw the final sex scene of episode 2
Previous version skipped the slut path choices for Aneta if you did not choose the police option in scene 1 of the update. This choice no longer blocks that conversation.
