God of The Red Mountain
SOFT LAUNCH ON ITCH
Due to the unfortunate end of DashingDon, I'm releasing the prologue to itch! However, because of school, the rest of Chapters 1-3 are still slow-going, and I'm not expecting to make any real headway until March 2025. Still, I appreciate those who have been waiting for me patiently, and I wanted to release this to show that I haven't abandoned this project!
As this was a somewhat hasty decision, please let me know if there are any issues--bugs, saves, formatting, etc. Any changes made will be present during the next update.
Thanks for checking out my WiP!

About the Story
You are a spirit born of the Red Mountain–though you’ve run away from it long ago. You’d be content to stay away, too, if not for the mountain god who suddenly comes looking for you. But what purpose do they have? And what exactly is your end goal?
Based on East Asian myths and folklore, you play as a powerful, nameless spirit in a dangerously shifting world. As a being caught between life and death, you are connected to a stream of limitless power, and the more you are known, the more powerful you become.
However, your journey will not be so smooth. You have been cursed by powerful, malignant beings, and it’s only a matter of time before you fall from sanity yourself.

Game Features
- Based on East Asian myths and folklore, explore a world full of divine beasts, cultivating humans, and whimsical gods.
- What kind of spirit are you? Animal or plant? Choose between ten different options!
- Will you return to your mountain homeland, or remain in the spirit world? Explore two entirely separate routes (Multiple playthroughs recommended...)
- Build friendships (and perhaps...more?) with a wide cast of characters!
- Become a god of your own making, or remain a nameless spirit.

lovely game! your writing style is really beautiful. just an fyi, I ran into an error. I didn't take the jade pendant, but still got the options like I had when I asked about it talking to big sister (e.g. "Give it to her")
oooh this is gorgeous ❤️ I quite enjoyed your writing & the concept. Definitely looking forward to updates!
Nice!
OMG CONGRATS AND WELCOME BACK!!!!!
This was one of the very first IFs I read when I first fell in love with the medium (it was pre-pandemic too, oh god-), so seeing it here on itch really does feel like crossing paths with a beloved old friend!
I look forward to delving back into the world of GotRM and seeing what happens next!
Good luck, take care, and I'm so happy you're here!!! ^-^

Yayyyyyy~ its back! congrats! Every now and then GotRM would pop up in my mind when I would go on the cog forum, I missed playing it so much, it's like seeing an old friend again! 🥹👏
<3 Thank you so much for coming back!
So glad to see that this hasn't been abandoned, have always love this wip and glad it will survive the purge, and looking forward to any future updates - no rush, school comes 1st but it's great to hear that you're still working on it.
Thank you so much! Yeah, I'm pretty sad that so much is going to be lost with dashingdon, and I hope other authors are able to bring their works to new places qq
what do you mean? is dashingdon going under? (my heart!! 💔)
(T_T) yeah, there was a post recently on the CS forums, but Don can no longer support the site. I definitely understand why, but it's so sad to know that so many archived wips are going to disappear...
