Maelstrom: A Yaoi Visual Novel
Disgraced soldier Demetri is exiled to Secren, a dangerous world devoid of women. Earthlings are smaller and weaker than the violent men of Secren. Demetri's only hope for survival is to bond with a strong mate who can love and protect him. The heterosexual Italian-American refuses to do that. He's not a homophobe, but he won't have gay sex to survive--or will he?
We're pleased to present Maelstrom: A Yaoi Visual Novel, based on the hit novel series by Yamila Abraham (me) and illustrated by the internationally renowned Italian art studio Dany&Dany.

Characters
Play as Demetri. He disobeyed an order to try to save the lives of his squadron. They died, and he ended up court martialed. He has 20 years hard labor on Secren and things he can get by without becoming someone's boyfriend. It's not like he's a homophobe, he just isn't into dudes--for now.
Sadly, having to bond with a man may be the least of Demetri's problems. Planet Secren is a violent and dangerous world. Things become real for him fast, and he doesn't know what he's going to do.
Helix (aka Maelstrom) was the only love interest in the original novel series and is the 'cannon' route here. Helix is the hero you need to survive this horrible planet. How long can you resist this charming mine-lord?
Jader isn't evil, he's just a victim of the horrible circumstances on his planet. When he injured his leg he couldn't mine anymore and had to join a biker gang of cannibalistic criminals. He doesn't like what he's become, and takes drugs to numb his pain. He'd become clean and walk away from it all for a guy like Demetri.
Zheng Li is the reason Secren is such a terrible planet. He lives in his lofty fortress above all the suffering. For him, miners are just disposable assets. He thinks it's fine for the weak ones to die. That just lets stronger miners take their place. Now that he wants Demetri he'll have to open his eyes to how horrible he let things get.
Bonus Route - Sawyer! Maelstrom was originally planned with 3 love interests. We've decided to up that to 4 with the introduction of the fired barkeeper Sawyer. Sawyer's bonus route will be added after the game is launched on Itch and Steam, but well before the Indiegogo deadline! To play this additional character you must get happy endings in all the other routes.
A whole plethora of side characters support the action in this game!
Please support our Indiegogo so we can make this game! We'd seriously appreciate it!
