About Ink and Intrigue
Ink and Intrigue is an interactive erotic fantasy novel by Leia Talon, where your choices control the story. It’s entirely text-based—300,000 words and hundreds of choices, without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
As a seasoned spy from the kingdom of Minare, you have been sent as an emissary to the Kitherin warrior-mages of Ra'zai, whose tattoos give them supernatural abilities and whose magical rites bond them to powerful creatures from another world.
But, as soon as you enter Ra'zai, you hear the call of the Kitherin. The magic has chosen you, and now, your fingertips tingle and your heart pounds. An unnamed need grows within, like a thirst that can't be quenched. Magic infuses your very breath.
As your magic expands, so does your heart. Which of your new Kitherin companions calls to you? Are you attracted to Teo, the soft-spoken tattoo artist whose muscular body is covered in tattoos and whose eyes blaze with amber fire? When he paints dragon runes onto your skin, do you feel the power of his heart as well as his magic? Or to Kai, whose dark hair contrasts with brilliant blue eyes: his mastery as a warrior is unmatched, but his quest to overturn a corrupt regime has earned him the opposition of the Kitherin Council. Perhaps you prefer Rae, a feisty fellow initiate, with her dark skin and wicked smile. Rae’s determination is legendary—she has failed the trials before, but never stops trying—and her boisterous spirit is unbreakable. Or maybe Thea is the one for you, with her sea-green eyes and copper hair. Elegant and serene, dedicated guardian of the temple—but if you earn her trust, she will show you her playful side, and sing the songs of her Fae ancestors.
But what does this call mean for your duty to the crown? Will you confess the clandestine role you’ve played for your king, or keep your secrets and leave your past behind? What information will you send back? Will you use your position to build alliances with the Kitherin Council and other nations, or will you use your spy skills of blackmail and poison to get what you want?

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players praise the game's writing quality and enjoy it as a readable experience, with some finding it comparable to the developer's other work. However, most criticize the romance implementation as the game's weakest element, citing rushed character development, lack of meaningful relationship progression, limited romance options, and repetitive intimate scenes across different partners. The tonal inconsistency between fantasy and modern elements, along with limited character customization, also detracts from the overall experience for many players.
This game wasn‘t so bad that I wouldn’t recommend it, but it also didn’t give me the motivation to finish it . I recommend setting a 2-hour countdown while playing it, so you have the option of refunding.5 found this helpful
so i cannot recommend this game, i just do not think it is very good. one moment we are in a fantastical world with dragons and then the next we are using grenade launchers? there is a big disconnect there and it left me feeling like half way through i was playing a different game. the romances also are not fleshed out at all, one moment we are strangers and then the next we are telling each other we love each other? it happened way too fast with no build up, i am not even sure if i will be able to finish this game as it is just not very good.4 found this helpful
I would say, It's an okayish read. Once. The writing is good, but. Compared to Their Majesties' Pleasure - which I liked and played through several times - Ink and Intrigue isn't as good. Why? - the plot isn't as diverse - pairings are too few (as a female preferring males, I had just two partner options) - the storyline didn't signifigantly change with different partner or different motivations on the main character - the mature scenes were almost copies from one another even with different partner: what's the point of different characters if the scenes stay the same! - I didn't really want to be a character who wields magic, but mundane was no option - the two male characters you're able to romance are too similar: where's the bad guy! the underdog! drama! But yes. I enjoyed reading it. Once. I hope the author will write more with larger ambition. I will buy it again.4 found this helpful
the way the romance was implemented is awful, which is wild because that is the main selling point. def one of the weaker entries of heart's choice. perhaps if you romance one of the guys it would be better but i very much doubt it.3 found this helpful
This is the second book by Leia Talon in the Heart's Choice line of Interactive Fiction. It is set in the same fantasy world as her other game : "Their Majesties's Pleasure". If you like a good text based game with some "spicy romance" BOTH of these books are the BEST IN MY OPINION. Don't be fooled by my play time, I have played it through a bunch of times and I don't remember how long one read is. Still, I recommend Leia Talon's games and I hope she makes more.
A brilliant story, and incredibly well written - including the smut! I thoroughly enjoyed this one.
