Blood for Poppies | Mythic Sword

Summary pulled directly from Steam - Some text may only be applicable to Steam platform

You have wings, but you can’t fly. Your wings are pitiful, broken things made of bone and shredded skin stitched together. Your mysterious benefactor, Doctor, has cared for you for as long as you can remember. Doctor never allows you to leave the 8th floor of the Summerset Apartment Complex, and the only people you have contact with are the other freaks of the 8th floor. Will Doctor's entrapment of you ever end? Will you escape his clutches and make your way into a bustling city that has always been so near--and yet so far--just outside the window of your cramped room? Will you continue Doctor's work or will you break the cycle of trauma perpetuated by his dark and tortured legacy of mad science?

Blood for Poppies is a 188,000-word psychological horror interactive novel by M.E. Smith about entrapment and the lingering effects of trauma. It's entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
