Shapeshifter is a thrilling Twine-based narrative game where you infiltrate the king's court as an assassin with a unique ability: you can change form. With every new playthrough, the king's randomly generated tastes and preferences create a fresh challenge. Use the integrated note-taking feature to track his likes and dislikes, make choices that dynamically alter your appearance and the world around you, and ultimately decide if you can kill and replace him. No two coups are ever the same.
Master Deception with Dynamic Disguises
Your shapeshifting power is the key to navigating the treacherous social labyrinth of the royal court.
1. Adaptive Physical Transformation: Seamlessly alter your character's form, with even minor details like the presence or absence of nipple piercings being visually represented and potentially influencing how you are perceived.
2. A Court in Constant Flux: The king's personality is procedurally generated; one game he may favor bold warriors, the next he might trust soft-spoken scholars. This demands a unique strategy for every attempt on his life.
3. Environmental Reactivity: The game world and its NPCs respond to your shifting identity. Your choices can open up new dialogue paths, create alliances, or raise suspicions based on your current disguise and actions.
