❝beneath the bright, flashing neon signs and thick layer of oppressive smoke, a monster stirs. their sight locks onto an unassuming figure — the target they've waited months to inflict revenge on. a maniac cackle slips through their lips, their mind utterly consumed with the euphoric feeling brought about by their distorted perception of justice. what was that phrase again? oh, that's right — an eye for an eye.❞

We All Bleed Red is a work in progress. It currently contains chapters 1 to 3 and is unfortunately not compatible with mobile (play on your computer!)

Follow me on my Tumblr page for recent updates, behind the scenes information, and extra content!

In Pendosa, there is civil unrest. The people demand change from a government that prefers to turn a blind eye to any of their wrongdoings. The people are angry, sick, and starving — but the president is just as stubborn and determined to hide this problem from the general public.

In Zesa City, you live a life of relative luxury with your roommate and best friend. The capital is the hub for the entertainment industry — it is where dreams are simultaneously realised and broken, and reputation trumps all moral code. You don't have to look very hard to see the other side of Zesa — the poverty, drug, and crime centre known as the Underground sticks out like a sore thumb, although the government prefers to ignore this suffering, too.

In the Underground, your older sister is murdered. Within a matter of weeks, your life is flip-flopped on its head and, after the police refuse to investigate further, you decide to get to the bottom of the mystery yourself.

Travelling into the heart of the city, where crime runs through the veins of all its residents, was always going to be dangerous. Luckily you manage to scrounge up a motley group of misfits who are willing to assist you on the biggest journey you've ever been on. And you will soon be grateful for their support, as you come face to face with a dark, vengeful figure from your past you've tried your best to forget about.

In Pendosa, a revolution is coming, and when you inevitably find yourself right in the centre of it, you finally wonder whether you've dove too far deep into water you cannot emerge from.

  • A fully customisable character — play as male or female and choose your appearance and shape your personality [currently working on non-binary options]
  • Romance one of five of your fellow misfits!
  • Come to terms with the murder of your beloved older sister, Belle, and the effect this has on your parents
  • Solve the murder!
  • Face off with a shadow from your past
  • Explore the dark underbelly of the Underground, and the interesting people who call it home
  • Get to know your five closest allies, forge bonds, and destroy them just as easily
  • Discover controversial secrets the government has been hiding from the public
  • Eat trash?
  • And more to be added!

We All Bleed Red is currently rated 18+ for dark themes (murder, abusive relationships, violence, suicide, etc) as well as mentions of drugs/alcohol and swearing.

I read the whole thing again coz it's Soo good..

Can't wait for more ;_; ❤️

This is actually pretty good. From the introduction to MC's background(and more to uncover) to their interaction to other accompanying characters. The ROs are likable enough, even V. I can't wait for the other 2 ROs. Other side characters are alright. They pretty much fulfilled their side roles.

I'm wondering how impactful MC's skill will be throughout the story, especially since they now will have to unofficially start their investigation to locate the true murderer.

Can't wait for the mext chapter!

I know you're currently busy finishing up the next chapter, but is there a possibility you can add an option to install via the itch client? Perhaps once the update is ready.

Loving the story so far but wondering if there will be polyamorous routes in future updates? [ I’m in love with both Vinesh and Chengyi 😭😭 ] If not, that’s totally fine !! Can’t wait for Chapter 4.
