⚰︎ ⍢ ⌲ ⍚ 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?: Need one.

Character Considerations: I can't choose. Here's my options:

Nero, Devil May Cry: Has a demon arm, part devil, comes from DMC4. He hunts monsters, so he's gonna have a hard time settling into the idea of becoming one - though he's worried for a good chunk of his life that he is one anyway. A song themed to DMC calls him a "live wire with a broken fuse" and I think that's perfect.

Dante, Devil May Cry: Literal ball of crack that either takes things not at all seriously, or too hard to heart. Comes from Post DMC 5. So he's just been in Hell for awhile, fighting demons constantly for weeks - not a great mode to come in and then become a monster. But he's kind of used to it anyway because he's a cambion, which is half demon and half human. He already transforms into a monster in canon! So I'd take him more for his personality than how he handles being a monster.

Josh, Until Dawn: THIS GUY THIS GUY. He's psychologically terrorized, and psychologically terrorizes others. He canonically has schizophrenia, so this whole thing isn't going to go over great with his mental state. He's very dangerous and has proven this time and time again.

Monster Interests: Things with wings, bug themed monsters, bats, barbed dicks or other such dick horror
Horror/Kink Interests:
Dick horror (as seen above), sex pollen, fuck or die (I'm in the right place, aren't I?), last night before a bad event or death (wait that's a bad event), breathplay, restrictions (spoken or physical). Horrorwise I love pretty much anything and am up for anything.
Triggers and Aversions: Animal cruelty
Any Questions: Is there a way to make it so we can see what users we have in common with the mods, as I know I have four but can't see which and that makes it difficult to ask for an invite.

Other:

Just showing off Nero's badass wings, dammit.

Hi, Mandy! That's a great question re: Plurk mutuals. While Plurk does have a mutual friends button, some Plurk layouts have this feature hidden, and Plurk doesn't really like to load the page from what we can tell, so we get why that would be difficult. In terms of pure functionality, that's the best we're aware of in terms of figuring out who those four people might be.

Below, however, we have some other suggestions for how to get your invite squared away if you're unsure, in case any of it helps:

Our first recommendation is to make sure you're asking in our interest plurk and sharing your comment on this post to your timeline to get the eyes of any of your friends who may also be considering and may already be on one of our timelines (while also keeping out for if any plurks pop up on your timeline of friends doing the same), as well as skimming through this post for people you recognize. Anyone who is invited in this round can bring someone else along as a +1.

However, we'll also be making another plurk with a link to this interest check post in about a week to encourage folks who are interested in TDMing to take a look for any of their friends who might need an invite in hopes to solicit that attention on players' behalf. Additionally, we'll post a top-level comment on the first page of the TDM when it goes up for players who still need invites to coordinate and seek out other players who are also playing on the TDM with them and are willing/able to extend their +1.

If all else fails, of course, as stated in our FAQ, any players are welcome to request an invite through our Mod Contact page.

We hope this helps!

When I click on 'mutuals' it just loads one person: me. It's because one of the mods has it turned off that you can publicly see their mutuals. It's a thing on plurk you can do. I'd understand if they're not comfortable making this public, but I thought I'd ask if it could be changed anyway.

That all does help! Thank you! :)
