Alansya Chronicles: Fleeting Iris is a narrative-driven thriller merging romance and moral decay. One month before their wedding, FBI agent Alan and fiancée Ayame confront a web of infidelity and political corruption. Navigate tense choices that blur love and betrayal, where every secret uncovered could dismantle their future—or expose darker truths.
Multilayered Storytelling & Player Agency
1. Time-Sensitive Investigations: Balance wedding preparations with Alan’s FBI duties—uncover a corporate bribery scheme linked to Ayame’s past, but snooping risks alienating her. Missed deadlines trigger irreversible consequences, like evidence tampering or abrupt elopement.
2. Dual Protagonist Perspectives: Switch between Alan’s corruption probes and Ayame’s hidden struggles—her cryptic texts and solo outings hint at a double life. Intercept her diary entries to preempt betrayals or ignore them to preserve trust.
3. Blackmail Mechanics: Gather dirt on suspects (e.g., a mayor’s affair) to coerce favors, but leaked recordings can backfire, sparking vendettas or implicating Ayame in a human trafficking ring.
Dynamic Relationship & Consequence Systems
1. Trust Collapse Triggers: Ayame’s “Innocence Meter” fluctuates based on discoveries—confront her about midnight calls to trigger tearful confessions or silent resentment. High distrust unlocks a secret route where she becomes a fugitive.
2. Romantic Rivalry Routes: Seduce informants or rekindle flames with ex-lovers to gain intel, but romantic sidesteps drain Alan’s “Commitment” stat, risking Ayame’s retaliation via hidden alliances.
3. Procedural Flashbacks: Randomized memories of Alan and Ayame’s early days in Kyoto contrast with present tensions—restoring a cherished memory might delay her betrayal, or amplify it.
Aesthetic Immersion & Replayability
1. Neo-Noir Visual Contrast: Juxtapose washed-out FBI office palettes with vibrant flashbacks of Ayame’s Tokyo life. Glitch effects distort scenes as paranoia escalates, symbolizing fractured realities.
2. Diegetic Sound Design: Eavesdrop on ambient chatter at campaign fundraisers for clues, while a jazz-infused OST shifts to dissonant tones during illicit rendezvous.
3. Branching Endgame: 12+ endings span Redemptive Sacrifice (Alan takes the fall for Ayame) to Pyre of Ambition (both exploit the corruption cycle), with post-credit lore dossiers explaining unanswered threads.
Ethical Ambiguity & Hidden Content
1. Morality-Masked Mini-Games: Forge documents during a minigame parodying spreadsheet sims, or hack security cams to stalk Ayame—actions framed as “protecting her” while eroding ethics.
2. Cryptic Achievements: Unlock White Lily Requiem by shielding Ayame from all harm, or Scorched Earth by exposing every secret, each granting New Game+ perks like immunity to certain traps.
3. Community-Driven Secrets: Upload anonymized playthrough data to crowdsource hidden plot triggers, like a rare scene where Ayame’s estranged father brokers a mob deal.
