SilverBound

A Post-Apocalyptic Dystopian Survival Romance

━━━━━━ ❖ ━━━━━━

Dome-IV

You were born inside Dome-IV, one of the last remaining strongholds to survive the radioactive fallout that wiped out nearly all life on earth. You scrape by a meager existence, clinging to the threads of what's left of civilization. Food, water, the right to lay with another and reproduce- everything is regulated by The Stratum.

As a soldier, your life is simple. You keep the perimeter just outside the dome safe from renegade factions, rogue bandits, and, above all, The Marked Ones- beings that were once human, now changed by the radioactive waste. But when The Stratum sends you on a mission to the edge of the earth, right on the fringes of The Wasteland, to make contact with a unit of scavengers they haven't heard from for weeks, what you find there changes everything. What starts as a mystery becomes a fight for survival- and, more importantly, love.

SilverBound is a post-apocalyptic dystopian survival romance where every choice the player makes brings them closer to the truth- or death. Play with 5 character stats: hunger, thirst, stamina, body temperature, and radioactivity, each of which must be managed as the player navigates the desolate, unforgiving desert wastelands. Uncover the secrets of Dome-IV in a branching narrative where every choice matters.

Romance Options

Hayden

The only person in Dome-IV that ever truly held your heart, you thought he was dead. His whole until was decimated in a scavenging trip gone wrong- or at least that's what they told you. But the things we lose to The Wastelands don't always stay buried. Sometimes, instead, they come back changed...He used to say he would die for you. But is he still the same boy that promised you the world?

Prophet

Fifth Templar to The Oracle, Prophet has been tasked with overseeing your mission to The Outpost. The moment you lay eyes on him, you know you're going to hate him. And you do. He's confident, commanding, insufferably self assured, and doesn't shy away from a challenge every time you push back against his orders. In fact, he almost seems to enjoy it. When you two are forced to rely on one another to survive, the flames between you only grow. Still, he’s a Templar. Loyal to the Oracle. Loyal to the Stratum. Can you really trust him?

Zander

Zander is the son of your late Father's best friend. He's never been particularly friendly with you. In fact, he almost seems to avoid you. His coldness towards you stands in sharp contrast to the easy charm he shows everyone else. It’s hard not to take it personally. But his actions are more honest than his words. With enough discernment, you may be able to uncover the truth behind the up-and-coming Scavenger Commander's actions… and why he’s always keeping you at arm’s length.

Jax

Jax has been your best friend for the last ten years. He's always been there for you. He held you together when your father died, and later, when you lost Hayden to The Wastelands. You're used to his casual flirtations by now. And when The Templars made him a breeder, it seemed like a natural fit. But everyone has secrets in Dome-IV. And behind Jax's silver tongue and roguish charm, his weighted gaze hides a truth that's been eating him up inside ever since The Templars assigned him to a role that made the only thing he's ever wanted off limits: you.
