Description

Royal Switch: Where Forbidden Desires Blossom in Stolen Identities

Fate, a fickle mistress, weaves its magic in Royal Switch, a captivating visual novel by DeepBauhaus. This isn’t your typical tale of mistaken identities. Here, the destinies of two women, born on the same day yet worlds apart, collide in a scandalous royal switch.

Elara, the pampered princess, is groomed for a life of power and privilege. Yet, beneath the gilded cage of royalty lies a yearning for freedom and a life less defined by societal expectations. Across the chasm of wealth and status lives Anya, a peasant girl brimming with a wild spirit and a thirst for forbidden knowledge. Their lives, though seemingly on parallel planes, are inexplicably linked.

One twist of fate brings them face-to-face, a chance encounter that reveals their uncanny resemblance. The seeds of rebellion are sown. In a daring move, the two women decide to switch – Elara, cloaked in peasant garb, escapes the stifling confines of the palace, and Anya, adorned in royal finery, assumes the mantle of the princess.

Royal Switch transcends the cliché of identity swaps. Here, the switch becomes a catalyst for self-discovery and the exploration of forbidden desires. Elara, thrust into the world of the common folk, discovers a sensuality she never knew existed. The thrill of anonymity and the freedom to explore her desires without the constraints of royalty awakens a yearning for a life less ordinary. Anya, on the other hand, revels in the power and privilege she has only dreamt of. But the opulent lifestyle also unlocks desires she never dared to acknowledge – a desire for a love that transcends societal boundaries and a yearning for experiences whispered about in hushed tones within the palace walls.

The game world of Royal Switch is a tapestry of diverse sexualities and liberated desires. From the hedonistic pleasure cults in the hidden corners of the city to the stoic warrior clans who channel their passions into unwavering discipline, the game celebrates the spectrum of human experience. As Elara and Anya navigate these diverse landscapes, they confront not just external challenges but also the desires simmering beneath the surface of their own beings.

The choices you make throughout the game shape the course of their royal switch. Will Elara embrace her newfound freedom and explore forbidden pleasures? Will Anya succumb to the allure of her newfound power and explore desires better left hidden? And when the inevitable moment of truth arrives, will they choose to return to their preordained lives, or will they forge a new path, defying the expectations of a society obsessed with lineage?

Royal Switch is a visual novel that celebrates the liberating power of defying societal norms. It’s a story where identity blurs, and desires bloom in the most unexpected places.

Are you ready for a Royal Switch? DeepBauhaus’ daring game awaits, offering a chance to explore forbidden desires, challenge societal expectations, and rewrite the destiny of two extraordinary women.

Developer Notes

My First Story: Royal Switch

Two people, born the same day, but in very different circumstances. One is a Princess, born to rule. The other is a peasant, born to live in obscurity. They live very different lives, until one day the fates collide, and they meet, only to discover that they are identical in (almost) every way! What would happen if they switched places?
Wait…you say you have heard this story? Like, 100 times? Okay, fine. But this version includes some elements that a certain classic of American literature lacks, including:
- Elves!
- Sex!
- Talking Cats!
- Training!
- Corruption!
- Romance!
- Intrigue!
- Uh…Talking Cats!
I created this story in part to explore the related but distinct genres of training and corruption. How are they similar? How are they different? Most importantly, how do they look from the perspective of the object of the training or corruption?
Join us as we pervert a beloved tale for our own prurient amusement, as peasant Esther and Princess Brigitte embark on parallel adventures to find their true selves!
Note: I envision this as a visual novel, not a game, so it is very much story-based rather than task-based. Also, Royal Switch falls somewhere between a visual novel and a kinetic novel. There will be choices, and they will affect the story in both the near- and long-term, but as I start this project, I do not think they will cause momentous changes. I want you to relax and enjoy the story rather than worrying about what you might be missing.

Fun Fact
Royal Switch may be my first visual novel, but it is not my first idea for a visual novel. The original inspiration, with a working title Steampunk Western Mystery (catchy, right?), set in an alternate-history version of the Pacific Northwest in 1900, suffers from a far more complex plot and the lack of an ending. Still, I have developed that world to the point where I want to showcase it a bit, so patrons will see some previews for that project as well.

I used to be a painter, but then life got in the way. After several years away from art, I decided to try digital media. I have been reading visual novels for a while, and I write quite a lot for my day job, so I thought I would combine my interests and see what I could create.

Thank you so much for your interest in my work! I have found this hobby to be extremely fulfilling and I want to invite you to join me on the journey. As a patron, you will get access to the following:

Customized renders
Patron polls and contests
Work-in-progress story updates
A chance to choose story elements
Your patronage will allow me to support my Daz store habit, and will encourage me to keep going with this surprisingly time-consuming endeavor. My current hardware limits my workflow as well, so if your support allows me to upgrade somewhere along the way, we all benefit!
