Benedictum Interactive's Mystic Blades of Somaria ("B.I.M.B.O.S.") follows a young man's descent into forced (or is it?) feminization in a game world.  This story takes place in a near future world where VR technology has progressed to the point that information can be pushed and pulled directly into and out of a person's brain.  The result is a virtual world that can feel just as real as the real world... but can you even trust what you are thinking and feeling when the system is in control of everything you perceive?

This is my first serious attempt at making an interactive story.  It was originally created for the Virtual Worlds contest but it was not in a state to be published before the deadline.  It is still very much a work in progress as of the time of posting.  The Transformation Themes reflect the content that is currently in the game; I plan to add more themes with regular updates.

Please note that is an interactive story more than it is a traditional game.

You play as Brandon Doe, a rather average young man who's on a break from school and work.  One day, you and your friend Mike sign up for a new MMO that is in the beta phase.  You end up forced into a female avatar and sent down one of two class paths (Thief or Cleric).

The game contains a lot of graphic sexual content -- for you and a few other 'Premium Beta Experience Passport' holders -- but it seems to be having an effect on your mind.  Will the game also start affecting your mind and body in the real world?

You - An average young man who does not have to worry about school or work for the summer.

Mike - Your friend

There are currently no branching paths that have a serious impact on the story.  There are, however, variations in certain scenes that are dependent on having the highest or lowest "slut" scores.  None of these impact the overall story yet but they would be worth multiple play-throughs if you want to see how things change.

2018-10-09:

• Initial release

2018-10-19:

• Changed the name!  I am still open to suggestions!
• Added rudimentary "Examine Self" menu item
• Fixed variables from the StoryInit passage all the way throughout.  So many errors with variables.
• Added a few more passages to the plot.  All threads should eventually point you to a placeholder "Dead End" passage.  The final link before this passage is marked, so you'll know before you click it.
• Minor tweaks and corrections to the text in multiple passage.

Later in the day 2018-10-19:

• Attempted bug fix to clothes shop passages

• Added some art work after the character creation segment (thanks daviezwei!)
• Expanded the story through the first solo quests as either Thief of Cleric
• More minor tweaks and corrections to the text in multiple passage.

• Many, many minor tweaks and corrections to the text in multiple passage.

2019-09-10:

This is not a full update so much as it is a quick bug fix.  A real update is on the way with a completed Thief path and the next sequence in the story.

• Added new options to the vaginal and anal paths on the first Thief solo quest to increase your slut score (The Cleric wasn't supposed to be having that much more fun, despite being blonde).
• Added new pictures for the Cleric and Thief after you choose them.  Thanks again daviezwei!
• Bug fixes for the Cleric path when resisting during the guardhouse sequence
