A young woman, orphaned on the streets of a city that did not want her. Plagued by recent dark visions, and no longer feeling safe where she is, she embarks on a journey to acquire the means of leaving the only place she’s known as home.
This journey sees her caught up in a sweeping tide of destiny that no one could have predicted, and leaves her forever changed. Whether that change is for the better or for the worse is yet to be seen.
Our tale begins with Kimberly Ashmoore, in the pirate-run town of Cliffperch.
Orphaned by her parents at the age of three, she was dumped on the streets of this island slum.
To this day she does not know why, nor does she know what became of her mother and father.
As a result of her environment, she spent her youth learning to exist in the dark alleys and blind corners of the world.
Always seeing. Never seen.
Through practice and necessity she learned the arts of stealth,
sleight-of-hand and pickpocketing in order to put food in her stomach.”
The guard have a permanent bounty on her persona, but not a single victim has ever caught her in the act.
With no face to place on the wanted posters, the town simply began to refer to her as \”The Umbral Hand\”.
The bounty stands today at seven thousand Kartisian Crowns.
Her mastery of the scoundrel’s ways have allowed her to survive and thrive in a world where she was neither noticed, nor wanted.
She had always told herself that she would stop thieving once she had “enough, but it turned out to be an exercise in frustration to attempt to live life within the expectations of society.
Living within the rules just felt so needlessly tedious. In her mind it made no sense to spend your entire life working to obtain something the “proper way”, when you can simply steal it in one night.
Only a massive windfall of wealth would make a “normal” life worth living.
To that end, she always keeps her ear to the ground for the next rumor. The next big score.
There is an information network that spans the length of the city.
Dubbed the Well of Whispers”, it provides information of all sorts, for any able to pay for it.
And the Well had recently provided Kim with a potential motherlode.
The talk on the street is that of a treasure beyond worth… sunken just off the coast in a vicious storm.
If the rumors are true, then it is the kind of treasure that makes fortunes and establishes generational
It is a long walk to the beaches of the Queen’s Coast – where the shipwreck is said to have occurred – and she wakes now to prepare for the journey.

Straight sex still occurs throughout the game, just as frequently as lesbian sex, but the main character is a lesbian woman, that begins the game in a relationship, and that needs to be stated up front. Whether or not she stays in that relationship is up to the player.
Dark Fantasy
Rivers of Astrum is a Dark Fantasy NSFW Adult Visual Novel, with a focus on deep story telling, and complex believable characters. The Dark Fantasy genre includes an element of horror. That element is fairly mild within the story so far.
Passion Project
“Rivers of Astrum” is a story I’ve had in my head for 3 decades. I’ve written, re-written, and revised the story countless times over the last 30 years, almost as though it were a living thing.
Rivers of Astrum focuses on Player Choice / Customization
I’ve gone out of my way to develop the game with player preference in mind. ALL content can be toggled on/off as desired. This could essentially turn the game into only a heterosexual game, or only a lesbian game, or any mix therein. With nearly 40 different content toggles, you can tailor the experience to suit your tastes/kinks!
What Rivers of Astrum is NOT:
Rivers of Astrum is not something quick and meaningless to fap to.
I have nothing against those games, but this simply isn’t one of them. If that’s what you’re looking for, hey, no judgement. But you won’t find it here. The story is long and complex. The characters as well. Richness of story is the focus.
Rivers of Astrum is not a Harem game.
While you have the option to talk/work your way into relationships with any of the girls (or multiples, even), it is not treated as a Harem game, or a “girl collector.”
