Description from Steam STEAM

Awaken your magic and break an ancient curse at a secret school of sorcery! What mysteries will you uncover at this crossroads between realms? House of the Golden Mask is an interactive fantasy novel by Miranda Eastwood. 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. The House of the Golden Mask is a place where worlds collide, and where sorcerers from all of those worlds must remain while they learn to control their magic enough to be able to use it safely. You are its newest and most gifted occupant, learning alchemy, linguistics, the occult, and more. As lectures and labs take place within the House’s ancient chambers, a ruthless battle for control plays out. Will you side with the honorable Arbiters, or seek freedom from the established order alongside the Transgressors? Or will you leave politics aside to focus on schoolwork? Plus, where there is this much magic, there are always secrets. None of the instructors are what they seem - but can you believe the rumors that one is a vampire and another a fallen angel? Who left that mysterious journal in your room, and what happened to its missing pages? And that is nothing compared to the ancient riddles woven into the very building and grounds of the House. Summon demons, decipher centuries-old inscriptions, and uncover a massive curse that threatens to dissolve the House and everyone in it. Vie with your fellow students for academic advantage and arcane artifacts alike. In a place where realms collide and any alchemist can brew an illusion potion, nothing is what it seems… Play as male, female, nonbinary, or genderfluid; gay, straight, pan, bi, ace; poly or monogamous. Specialize in Alchemy, Linguistics, or the Occult - or try to balance all three at once! Shape your familiar from a mystical substance: choose a cat, snake, weasel, or bat! Or just leave it as a sad and strangely adorable pile of goo. Compete in the tournament at the Festival of the Blood Moon to win the Golden Mask itself! Decipher riddles, delve deep into history, and unravel the curse that haunts the school! Uncover the carefully guarded secrets of your fellow sorcerers, forging deep bonds with instructors and students alike. If knowledge is power, then the House of the Golden Mask is your doorway to the greatest magical power in all the realms.
