Borrowed Lives

Borrowed Lives is a text-based sandbox RPG for players who like dark fantasy settings with tactical combat and heavy adult content. The tone is grim and personal, built around choice and consequence rather than spectacle.

Story

You play a Soulbound, a spirit bound to a body that once belonged to someone else. Each origin offers a different dead life to inherit, with its own history, obligations, and dangers, and the story follows what you make of a life that was never yours to begin with.

Gameplay

Play centers on managing your Soulbound's stats, needs, and standing in a medieval world while working through turn-based combat encounters. Between fights, you shape relationships and pursue different paths tied to your chosen origin, with survival needs and character stats influencing what options are open to you as the story branches.

Features

• Multiple origin stories, each with distinct skills and starting circumstances
• Character creation with stat-based progression
• Turn-based combat woven into an open-ended sandbox structure
• Mature, adult-oriented content threaded through the relationship and survival systems
