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.

Invite?: Nope, would need one.

Character Considerations:
I'd be hoping to bring Mahito, here, from Jujutsu Kaisen. Depending on perspective, either a selfless hero looking to save his own kind, or the worst monster possible who just kills and manipulates for the fun of it. Or, you know, why not both?
He's inquisitive though so he'd likely delve into why are all these non Curses being called "cursed" before making new enemies. Definitely a setting where becoming his friend would be easier than normal.

Monster Interests: Sticking to canon, here!
He'll break apart at the stitches, revealing his true form underneath. (Or since it happens gradually here, some sort of partial stage might be an option along the way, too.) Torn between Diabel for his personality and Skala for the appearance, but I'll probably get a better feel for it closer to.

Horror/Kink Interests:
Psychological horror is a huge favourite. Just anything where the atmosphere stays tense and the characters can be unsettled with or without actual enemies. The best are situations like Zero Escape, Exam, or the hearts games in Alice in Borderland, where everything could have been harmless, until human reactions to fear and distrust cause the real danger.

Kinks vary by character, but with Mahito I'd be looking for more of the same. So things like master/slave or light master/pet dynamics, dubcon and pseudo-noncon, convoluted manipulation forcing the submissive party to take charge and get violent... Also I mean I'm playing a shapeshifter, so always good to take advantage of that, too.

Triggers and Aversions: No triggers, but I'd like to avoid eye gore and graphic medical descriptions. Vaguely glossing over stuff is fine.

I forgot to list Mahito in my favorite horror tropes!!!

Ahem, please if anyone can spare an invite so Junpei can bring some of his own monster from home to share with the class. 🙏

Phrasing it like that sounds like your leash kink is putting Mahito at the collar end.
I have no complaints.

I think any of my boys would try to kill Mahito rather than fuck him, except Josh, who'd be unnaturally interested in him.

Personally? I watched it while it was partly aired, then switched to the manga to keep going, and found the episodes felt slower right after reading. So I'd say watch season 1 before reading, go back and read if you liked it. There were a few parts that the author and animation team communicated on to add bits to the anime that didn't fit in the manga, so it's kind of worth seeing the "finished" product, if that makes sense?
