Buy Blood for Poppies PC key

Blood for Poppies is a 188,000-word, text-based psychological horror interactive novel about entrapment and the lasting effects of trauma. You have broken wings made of bone and shredded skin, and have lived for as long as you can remember under the care of your mysterious benefactor, Doctor. He keeps you on the 8th floor of the Summerset Apartment Complex, where your only company is the other freaks who live there. Outside your cramped room, a bustling city lies just beyond the window.

Doctor and the 8th floor

Your choices shape whether you escape Doctor’s control or continue his scientific work for benevolent or malicious purposes. You can remain loyal to him or oppose him at every opportunity, and decide whether to break the cycle of trauma behind his dark legacy of mad science. You can ally with others to pursue your goals, but they have their own motivations, and betrayal is always possible.

Your relationships

You can befriend and uplift the other residents, or alienate them through cruelty, manipulation and betrayal. Characters respond to your choices, and you can influence who lives and dies; not everyone reaches the end. You can romance three characters: a seemingly emotionless young woman struggling to feel human, an insecure and compassionate artist pursuing his dreams despite Doctor’s control, and a rebellious young man whose temper can eclipse his better nature.

Shape your character

You choose to play as male or female, and as gay, bi or straight. You can embrace the hideous or cultivate beauty, live joyfully or give in to despair, and show compassion or cruelty. You can let others shape your fate or manipulate those around you. Your actions and relationships affect the endings, which vary in both minor and major ways.

The game is entirely text-based, with no graphics or sound effects.
