About the Story

Your life is unremarkable: you have a boring job, only one person you might call a friend, an ailing mother in an expensive hospital, and a single bedroom apartment which no-one else ever sees. The only interesting thing about your daily routine is the mysterious stranger who appears every night in your dreams. That is until you come home to find the dream-stranger in your apartment, injured and seeking your help.

Kitsune is a 300,000-word story about love, lies and foxes, written by Thom Baylay, author of the Evertree Saga and The Grim and I. It’s entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

Many a fox grows grey but few grow good, and this one has taken a shine to you. How will you react when an agent of chaos enters your mundane life? Will you embrace the opportunity to mix things up or try to maintain some semblance of control? Will you let a supernatural spirit aid you in a divine quest for meaning or will you suspect everyone’s motives and seek the truth behind the extraordinary?

*Step into a mundane life and watch it transform into something magical.
*Uncover the mystery of the one who’s been haunting your dreams.
*Learn the shocking truths amidst the lies.
*Romance your best friend, a company royal or your mother’s nurse—or focus on your mysterious dream-stranger.
*Discover who you really are or lose yourself along the way.
*Play as male, female or nonbinary.
*Play as gay, straight, bisexual or asexual.

Only you know how to live your life, but who even are you? Get ready to go on a journey of self-discovery, and try not to lose yourself to the whims of a mischievous fox.

Kitsune is an Experience, July 8, 2025

I played though Kitsune only once fully, and it is probably one of my favorite text based adventures I have played. I left the story quite literally tearing up. The ending I had gotten was well made and took advantage of my emotions, I haven't felt the same since. I highly recommend this story without any spoilers because it's best seen blind and immersed, where it will change your world view in the game if you went the way I have. 5 Stars. I wish I could experience it again.
