Edo-ya

A young country merchant arrives in 1821 Edo and gets pulled into a quiet war of ledgers and smuggling routes between a powerful trading house and the men hunting its protectors. Seven endings ranging from triumphant heir to compromised survivor to broken pawn.

The first time it all worked. Voice, story, choices — together in one web page. Held together with tape, but it worked.

The Tone

Pulpy mercantile intrigue. Smuggling, faction politics, romance.

1. First working version — the whole game lives inside a single web page.
2. Built a tool that reads the story and finds every line that needs a voice.
3. Built a helper that sorts all the recorded voice clips into folders the game can read.
