New IF: Nyotani: Walk Along The Stars
Summary:
10 years ago, you lost it all.
A single night reduced your life to ash, with only a symbol — a spiral in an open palm — scrawled into the dirt. Your only lead on the ones responsible. You followed every whisper, chased every trail — and they led you to the coral-stone halls of Husuni Palace. Deeper still, they led you to the man behind your downfall — the Grand Vizier.
Now, you’re inside. His apprentice. You take minutes in council meetings. You liaise with other council members. You shadow him during the day and debrief with him at night. And all the while, you dig and dig for answers you’ve spent the last decade chasing.
Nyotani: Walk Along the Stars is a political fantasy IF inspired by the Swahili City-States period and the rich cultures that flourished beside them. Step into the shoes of the Grand Vizier’s apprentice — close enough to enjoy a taste of power, but not yet free to seize it for yourself.
- Uncover the mystery behind your downfall.
- Topple the Grand Vizier — or become his most loyal ally.
- Find love with any of 6 romanceable characters.
- Align with factions across Nyotani — and watch them support you when the time comes.
- Shape the future of the Nyotani Federation — or engineer its destruction.
- Get the revenge you believe you deserve — or choose to let it all go.
- The stars are always watching. What will they remember of you?

- Choose your faction — align with any of ten factions across the cities in the Federation, and watch them rise or fall alongside you.
