Made Marion

Made Marion is a romantic action-adventure visual novel set in Avalon, an alternate medieval kingdom where humans live in an uneasy balance with the mystical fae. You play as Lady Marion of Glastonbury, a proud young noblewoman who is stripped of her position and pushed toward an arranged marriage. She heads through Sherwood Forest to troubled Nottingham, where her choices shape who she becomes and whether she helps bring peace or hastens a confrontation between the Sheriff and Robin Hood. The story also explores whether Marion may find love despite having resisted marriage.

Avalon faces political and financial strain: its hero-king Richard has gone missing, the kingdom is deep in debt after a recent war, and commoners are demanding more representation in government. As Marion, you decide whom to trust and love while navigating political machinations and mystical intrigue. The world and its expressive characters draw on Northern European cultures, with Celtic design elements in the character and background art.

Choose your path

After the prologue, a major choice sends Marion to either Sherwood Forest or Nottingham. Each path has a different cast of romance options and a distinct tone: Sherwood is a swashbuckling action-adventure, while Nottingham focuses on political intrigue and spy hijinks. Marion is a proactive heroine with her own goals and desires, and her decisions drive the plot.

Shape Marion's relationships

Instead of an affection meter, each route uses major role-playing choices. You can have Marion act cleverly or straightforwardly with the flirtatious Robin, and make idealistic or pragmatic choices with Geoffrey and Gui. These personality choices do not lead to bad endings; each route offers two possible happy endings. Bad endings come from one-off choices, are designed to reveal more about the story, world or characters, and can be reversed.

The romance cast includes:

• Robin of Locksley: A deposed lord leading a rebellion against Lord Geoffrey. He is a capable leader who often hides his feelings behind a jocular manner.
• John: Robin's gentle giant of a second-in-command, who struggles with inner demons rooted in a tragic past.
• Will, the Scarlet Blade: John's half-brother, a daredevil swordsman with several large chips on his shoulder.
• Lord Geoffrey: A stern ruler known locally as the Sheriff, determined to govern by law despite imposing onerous taxes. Marion can uncover the reasons behind his harsh policies.
• Meissa: A mischievous, mysterious sage from an enemy land who is kind and compassionate but harbors a dangerous secret.
• Alanna Dale: A merry bard at Geoffrey's court who is easy to fall in love with but difficult to know, and protects herself with layers of lies.
• Gui la Londe: A graceful chevalier and confidant of Geoffrey, despite their different worldviews. He wants to recruit Marion for an important mission on behalf of the Crown.
