INTEREST CHECK

⚰︎ ⍢ ⌲ ⍚ Interest Check

We all have urges, aberrant hungers that we spend our days calculating whether it is to our advantage to indulge or suppress them. The righteous fury that moves one desperate victim to take revenge on the person who wronged them. The fathomless greed for recognition that drives another to seek ever higher achievement. Most societies and cultures caution us to rein in these impulses, to achieve enlightenment through their denial.

But what if we were to let them go? What monsters would be born?

CONTENT WARNING: This game's info pages, premise, plot, and events may involve or make reference to rape, dubious and coerced consent, torture, blood and gore, body horror, disfiguration, murder, cult behavior, medieval punishments, drugs effects, and animalistic sexual behaviors. Game images may contain blood and mild gore or be sexually suggestive.



RUBILYKSKOYE is a dark, horror-themed smut game. Characters arrive in a wooded void-space, naked and without any belongings. They will soon discover glowing runes on their bodies like tattoos, which mark them as bearing a curse that transforms them into monsters if they do not have regular sexual intercourse. The transformation into a beast is painful, and when it is complete, they lose their sense of self, becoming driven only by an appetite for sex and/or violence. In the nearby township from which the game takes its name, characters will discover a cult-like society of similarly cursed individuals with unfamiliar customs centered around the careful indulgence of these urges.

The game will alternate between horror-based and sex-based events. Horror events will draw on various tropes and elements like body horror, gore, violence, psychological horror, loss of autonomy, mistrust of senses, and lovecraftian madness. Smut events will draw primarily on kink tropes driven by the cult-like behavior of the local population.

Opt-outs will vary by event. While players can opt-out of the smut parts of the game, it will intensify the horror aspects of the game for their character, and opting out of the horror parts of the game will generally require more involvement in the smut components.

Welcome to the Rubilykskoye interest check! We are a panfandom, plot-heavy horror-smut game set in a void world populated solely by a vaguely Eastern European castle village! How and why your characters arrived will be answered as characters interact with the town's various NPCs, including the mysterious Duchess living in the castle, and as players proactively engage with events.

Players can expect events to alternate between the erotic and grotesque, though many will combine the two. The game will heavily feature eldritch body horror, religious cult behavior, and animalistic behaviors and urges.

The nitty-gritty:

• There is a mod-run storyline with the first 'phase' outlined at about two years;


• PC actions can and will influence the outcome of events;


• This game is locked and invite-only;


• App rounds are monthly;


• It has no minimum comment count for AC;


• There is an activity rewards shop.

Players can influence the outcome of events in a number of ways. In addition to giving players the chance to thread with NPCs to learn more about the game's plot and world, some events will allow game-wide votes on outcomes, while others will afford RNG opportunities for players to sign-up for an important role. Activity rewards also allow players to exchange their active participation in events for threads with NPCs and other plot tidbits or roles.

Name: Pink (she/her)
Contact: verhoeven or PM
Invite?: Tifa's entourage, which I think means I have a +1

Character Considerations: Frontrunners are:

Genya Safin from Shadow and Bone -- or Grishaverse, however she'll be based on show canon. Post-season two. She is an amplified Tailor, which means she has the ability to alter someone's appearance, transfer the surface qualities of one object to another (color, texture), sense heartbeats, and ease pain/confer minor healing. Her background contains SA and there will be an opt-out available.

Blight Espenson a Hunger Games fandom OC?? Question marks because he might actually make a good native OC. I'll tweak his personality as necessary but it won't be far off from these bullet points. A little more repressed angst and anger. He'll seek external rather than internal solutions AKA lock him in a basement when he's wolfy and let's never talk about it when he isn't. PB and journal might be different.

While those two are my top considerations at the moment, also on the table are Lorna Dane/Polaris (mutants) from The Gifted, Ikaris (inhuman) from MCU/The Eternals, Jessica Jones (grunge) from MCU/Netflix Marvel TV, and Cleo Cazo (vermintide) from DCEU/The Suicide Squad. Top levels or tag-ins, look for them on the TDM later this month! Potentially aged up Ylfa Snorgelsson from D20/Neverafter? Anything's popsicle.

Monster Interests: Niez suits Genya and Wilk suits Blight. I haven't narrowed them down beyond that yet. I'm interested in using my monster choices to complement and conflict with my character's personalities, respectively. Genya would (eventually) embrace and control the additional power afforded to her, while Blight would always struggle with it.

Horror/Kink Interests: In no particular order, and hardly exhaustive:

horror: nightmares, hallucinations, losing sanity rolls, body horror, gore, possession, mind control, manipulation, stalking, obsession, torture, [fill in the blank] or die, Saw style traps and scenarios, hunter v. hunted, loss of control, rape/revenge.

kink: rough sex, breeding and heat mechanics, dubcon (extortion, coercion, power dynamics), noncon all day winston, predicament bondage, imprisonment, substances, period sex, marking, corruption, gangbang, cuckholding, D/s, public use, degradation, writing, breathplay and choking, prostitution.

Triggers and Aversions: None.
Any Questions: Blight's sons are pretty important to him. Could they exist as native NPC's? Only as a technicality. I would never play them beyond an occasional throwaway line as set dressing (more how pets function in games). His bio has them at eleven years old but I could bring them up to the age limit no problem. That said! I understand this can be a slippery slope so I have no expectations either way. Thank you!

Hey Pink! Thanks for asking about the bounds of native OCs. We're excited to see people interested in the opportunity.

If you were to make Blight into a native OC, he would absolutely be able to have his sons as native NPCs. Just to cover all the important bases: We would ask that you be conscientious about how these children are incorporated into threads for obvious reasons and provide ample content warnings regarding any risk to them. Especially early in the game, feel free to ask us whatever you need to know about the local culture in order to facilitate your play.

Let us know if you can think of any information we should add about this option to our info pages to help folks like yourself develop your ideas!
