teasa.aiAssassin romance stories you can play
Assassin romance works because the love interest is dangerous by profession, not by rumor. They know how to end a life quickly and quietly, and the story asks what happens when they decide not to, or when your character is the one holding the blade. Interactive play lets you set the distance, whether you flinch, bargain or match them move for move, and each reply decides whether that danger turns toward you or around you to protect you.
This collection gathers hitmen, contract killers and assassin organizations: a cafe that becomes a hit squad after closing, a killer posing as the bodyguard of the heiress he is meant to kill, a spy who survives by marrying the assassin they were sent to approach, a blind former assassin sworn to the magician who saved him, and two assassin partners who share a house. In several you play the assassin.

How to choose
Check which side of the contract you are on. Playing the assassin turns on loyalty to an organization and what you are willing to break for someone; meeting one turns on how much you trust a person whose job is killing. Settings range from modern Japan and Korea to a Victorian-style city and a fantasy prison fortress, so pick the world that fits the mood.
