A Foretold Affair

A Foretold Affair is a customizable story set in a barren world of endless deserts, where most people live on large fractions of land floating above the surface. Society is divided between Normals, who have no magic, and Abnormals, who each have a special power.

Buffalo Seer is an eccentric Abnormal who wants to use their power to see the future, a practice considered dangerous and discouraged even among Abnormals. After gaining permission to look into their own future, Seer discovers that they leave Abnormal society and marry someone they have never met. Seer sets out for Normal society, determined to convince this stranger they are meant to be together, and joins them on an adventure. The pleasant future Seer imagined proves to be further away than expected.

Your choices change the story’s specific interactions and conversations, while its general plot points remain much the same. You can choose Buffalo Seer’s pronouns—he, she or they—and a Normal name. There are three future spouse options: one male, one female and one agender. The script contains 150,000 words, with 9–15 hours of playtime.
