Description

Honeypot is an immersive, interactive visual novel built in Ren’Py, pairing hand-drawn artwork with a branching narrative of espionage, temptation, and shifting loyalties. Its near-future story begins in January 2025, with the world teetering on the edge of upheaval. A devastating recession has weakened long-standing institutions and alliances, while a mysterious third-party candidate has just taken office as President of the United States. As other nations wait to see how America will confront the crisis, criminal gangs and underground organisations thrive amid the struggles of international bodies. From Tangiers to Tokyo, agents and spies trade secrets and clash in deadly backstreet encounters. You begin far removed from that dangerous world: an ordinary girl with a coffee-shop job, a boyfriend, a handful of close friends, and a quiet daily routine. A chance encounter promises to upend everything, opening the door to a life of glamour, danger, and desire. To survive—and perhaps prosper—you will need to rely on both your mind and your body, with opportunities to influence the world around you along the way. Honeypot’s branching story puts your loyalties and ambitions to the test. Will you remain faithful to your country and the friends who knew you before your life changed? Will the lure of wealth and power pull you in another direction? Or will you embrace the upheaval as a chance to pursue your deepest, darkest desires?
