An Imp and an Impostor is a 600,000-word interactive historical urban fantasy novel in which your choices shape the story. You play as an imp who has spent years undercover as a human, working inside Raqout’s magical law-enforcement organization, Arkan. The game is entirely text-based, with no graphics or sound effects.

Raqout and Arkan

Raqout is a port city between our world and other dimensions, where everyone has secrets. A powerful magical being known as the Mercy took your magic as punishment for past misdeeds and forced you to live as a human. After years of preparation, you have regained enough magic to surpass most humans, and you can also use talsama, the magic available to all humans, along with your wits, gadgets and knowledge of Arkan.

As an Arkan agent, you bust unlicensed necromancers and negotiate with afareet and djinn. Your by-the-book partner does not know that you are an imp, or that your nose for crime is really a nose for magic. You can keep your identity secret, trust allies with your past and true nature, or blow your cover and join a gang of thieves.

Recover your magic

You set out to steal your magic back from Arkan’s vault, but it contains only part of it. You must find the rest and discover who took it. Others have also had their magic stolen, and people are going missing. As you investigate, you track smugglers and kidnappers, uncover plots, betrayals and hidden motives, and evade the Mercy’s vigilance.

You can carry out heists by opening vaults with magic or gadgets, pursue enemies in Raqout’s newfangled automobiles and search the city’s magical and mundane corners for secrets. You can also reunite others with their stolen magic or keep it for yourself and grow stronger, then reclaim your own magic and return to your impish form.

Your choices and relationships

You choose your character’s gender and sexuality: male, female or nonbinary; gay, straight or bi; aromantic, asexual or both, with many shadings of asexuality. You can pursue love or friendship with an idealistic necromancer, a stern but soft Arkan agent, or a charming gang leader. The story also lets you pet an undead dog.
