Games Like Eternal Affairs

Recover a stolen artifact and lose your heart as a secret magical agent! Can you uncover an arcane conspiracy before the clock runs out?

Eternal Affairs is an interactive urban fantasy romance novel by Jamie Maurer. It's entirely text-based, 100,000 words and hundreds of choices, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

After you lost your beloved brother in a magical anomaly, you joined the Bureau of Magic to investigate magical anomalies and prevent the same tragedy from befalling anyone else. Of course, it takes magic to investigate magic: when thieves can use shadow manipulation charms to evade security cameras and hackers can insert necromantic malware into computers, you need to learn some tricks of your own. You can shapeshift, move objects with your mind, teleport, heal the most grievous injuries - or cause them by flinging fireballs. You can even manipulate time itself, gazing into the past or future.

When a dangerous artifact is stolen right out of one of the Bureau's most secure vaults, you and your partner are tasked with recovering it. But your investigation turns up a web of conspiracies that lead to the highest levels of the Bureau, into other worlds - and even into your own traumatic past.

As the portals spin and the spells fly, your heart is beating with much more than just the thrill of the chase. Maybe you'll be drawn to rogue mage Charlie, a loose-cannon Bureau consultant with platinum-bleached hair, a whole gallery's worth of tattoos, fabulously tight leather pants and a cheekily rebellious attitude. Or, there's Lex, your ride-or-die partner at the Bureau. Loyal, serious, with brown hair and freckles, a stocky build and a soft face that resembles an anxious teddy bear in times of trouble - but had you ever noticed before how all those hours at the gym have built up Lex's muscles to fill out the Bureau uniform?

When you reach the top of the conspiracy, which of them will be by your side?

All magic has a price. What will you pay in pursuit of the truth?
