The Guild with a Common Sense Rewriter is a dark fantasy RPG where players manipulate a guild of adventurers through psychological subversion. As a shadowy master, control and corrupt recruits through twisted training, covert tactics, and morally grey strategies to reshape their realities—and your own power.
Core Mechanics & Mastery
1. Guild Ascendancy: Boost your faction’s reputation via quests, recruitment drives, and tactical promotions to attract new members and lucrative assignments.
2. Dual-Edge Control: Blend benevolent guildmaster actions with underhanded methods—implanting sedatives, exploiting combat bonds, or weaponizing guilt to weaken resistance.
3. Branching Corruption: Guide characters down unique paths of degradation through choices that trigger irreversible mental reprogramming, leading to unpredictable endings.
Twisted Narratives & Characters
1. Hypnotic Recruitment: Screen candidates with provocative interviews, such as observing their private behaviors, to identify vulnerabilities for exploitation.
2. Degradation Arcs: Watch protagonists succumb to cognitive rewiring—reassigning "magic replenishment" to perverse rituals or turning public missions into humiliating role-plays.
3. Moral Ambiguity: Decide whether to ally with corrupted rivals, publicly shame dissenters, or recruit enemies mid-battle to expand your twisted influence network.
Gameplay Innovations & Dark Themes
1. Ethical Experimentation: Deploy mood-altering scents, mandatory "team-building" exercises, or staged vulnerabilities to break down barriers between allies and puppets.
2. Strategic Downfall: Balance public guild management with clandestine sabotage—like forcing members into semi-nude promotional stunts or weaponizing their past relationships.
3. No Regrets System: Every choice permanently alters character dynamics and guild stability, demanding ruthless calculus to maintain control without losing your narrative grip.
