Buy Maelstrom: A Yaoi Visual Novel PC key

Maelstrom: A Yaoi Visual Novel is a science-fiction story with a Wild West motif. You play as Demetri, a disgraced Earth soldier exiled to Secren, a dangerous world inhabited by violent men and devoid of women. Earthlings are smaller and weaker than Secren’s men, and Demetri believes his best chance of surviving is to bond with a strong mate who can protect him. Reluctant to have a relationship with a man, he faces a world where his problems quickly extend beyond that choice.

Demetri and Secren

Demetri was court-martialed after disobeying an order in an attempt to save his squadron; the soldiers died, and he was sentenced to 20 years of hard labor on Secren. He thinks he can endure the sentence without becoming anyone’s boyfriend. The game follows him as he confronts the dangers of the planet and the circumstances that shape his relationships.

Love interests

The mostly linear story includes pivotal choices and four possible love interests. Each route can have multiple endings, including a happily ever after ending.

• Helix: The sole love interest in the original novels, where he was named Maelstrom, and the story’s canonical route. A mine-lord, he is presented as the hero Demetri needs to survive Secren.
• Jader: After a leg injury left him unable to mine, Jader joined a biker gang of cannibalistic criminals. He dislikes what he has become and takes drugs to numb his pain; he would get clean and leave it all behind for Demetri.
• Zheng Li: The ruler of a lofty fortress, Zheng Li treats miners as disposable assets and considers the deaths of weaker ones a way for stronger miners to take their place. His interest in Demetri forces him to face the suffering on Secren and his part in it.
• Sawyer: A bonus love interest whose route unlocks after you achieve good endings on the Helix, Jader and Zheng Li routes. Sawyer is described as a mystery wrapped in an enigma.

A cast of side characters also supports the story’s action. The game contains 150,000 words, up to 35 CGs and 17 music tracks. Its mature themes include implied and vividly described sexual content, but no explicit sex or nudity is illustrated.
