Penetrate the Veil [2]: Spoken Hearts

With the power of The Eternal, a mage who has never known defeat (and also your (ex) brother-in-law!) at your side, your plans of revenge for your dead family are looking up.

However, the consequence of vengeance means never knowing peace, and you’re prepared to lay down your life for your cause.

The only problem? You’ve neglected to tell Ekam this detail, and he’s no longer willing to let you play hero and martyr.

You and he are meant to be the strongest together. No one will foil this plan. Not even you.

How will you proceed from here?

Penetrate the Veil: Spoken Hearts was made for the 2024 One Single Choice Jam, an interactive fiction jam with a limitation of only one choice, and a maximum of 15-30 minute gameplay time.

Although Penetrate the Veil: Spoken Hearts is a direct continuation of Penetrate the Veil: Unspoken Hearts, this game can be played as a standalone experience. Regardless of which “ending” you considered “canon” from Unspoken Hearts, Spoken Hearts is a natural progression for any of them.
