“Silence settles the waters of the midnight bay; death’s hand reaches, bids you stay…”
Death haunts the people of Albach Bay. For fifteen years, 'The Bay Slasher' has stalked the streets, preying on victims with no apparent goal or motive. You were seven years old when you witnessed the murder of the Slasher's first victim—your own father. Impatience swallowed your childhood, desperate to come of age and solve the case that has left the local police department stumped.
You will have your revenge.
"Every day I miss him, and every day I’m scared that I’ll miss him less. That one day, I’ll wake up, and I won’t remember how his hair would stick up in odd angles in the morning or how black he liked his coffee. That the bedtime stories he would read me before bed no longer guide my morals nor parse their wisdom in his voice..."
"If you ask me why I still seek revenge, this is what I'll say: I will not forget."
Let's kill the killer.
Demo: Out Now (82,000+) | Beta build (113k+ words) | Ko-Fi | Forum | Patreon
Simon/Simone [f/m] Task Force Leader. Human Simon/Simone Selby comes from a wealthy family with a long government service and civil partnerships history. Selby is somewhat of a black sheep and is estranged from a large portion of their family. After a bout of teenage rebellion, they found themselves enlisted in the military to ‘correct’ their behaviour. However, with a penchant for leadership and a tactician's mind, they are recruited by a strange, secretive organisation instead.
After two more victims of 'The Bay Slasher' are found discarded on the bay, Selby drives themselves and their team into town, on orders from their mysterious higher-ups, ready to put away this killer for good. But cases such as these are never simple, and even more so with a far too clever and far too perceptive P.I. hot on their heels.
Rain [non-binary] The Mediator. Supernatural type; Pixie Rain grew up in a very wet biome of the world associated with fairies, pixies and elementals. After a great conflict, Rain had little choice but to feel indebted to their benefactors... but such things always come with strings attached. At least Rain knows they can rely on their team leader, Selby.
When Rain is told they will be going to the practically derelict town of Albach Bay to catch a dangerous killer, they shrug, smile, and pack their bags without a second thought. It doesn't take long for them to realise this isn't a typical case, even by their standards.
Taj [f/m] The Infiltrator. Supernatural type: Qita Taj is part of an ever-shrinking community hidden well in the Egyptian underbellies. Qita are a humanoid cat race native to Egypt and were once revered by humans at the dawn of their civilisation. However, that reverence began to fizzle out when foreign, other-worldly invaders decided they held far too much influence over the populace and ran them underground.
After a great conflict, Taj is captured and 'recruited' to join a mysterious organisation dedicated to maintaining balance. Taj is uncooperative, argumentative, and hot-headed... but Selby soon earns their respect. But that doesn't mean he's going to start following orders blindly... Especially if it means being forced into human territories to save human victims.
Nazu/Naera [f/m] Supernatural type: Demon Nazu/Naera is a demon prince/princess from Hael. A respected chieftain and leader to some, and a dangerous war criminal to others, their great power was muzzled as punishment for the part they played in war. Never one to settle for what others think they deserve, they broke free from their prison to locate the remnants of power that were grossly stolen from them.
Their search has lasted more than a decade, but now... Now, they find themselves in a small, human town where sin oozes from every shadow, beckoning every passerby to partake in its debauchery. To top it off? They can hear their power singing to them. It's close. Heh... They might even end up liking it here.
Umbra [f/m] Supernatural type: ??? Umbra is an anomaly. Nothing about them is real. None of it should exist. Every facet of their being has been strung together out of sheer will and barely held together by a thread. One wrong touch and they may fall apart, like unravelling a ball of yarn or pulling apart a puppet on a string.
So, why? Why do they exist? Simple.
They exist for you.
RO's appearances:
Simon: Broad-shouldered, athletic build with reasonably short black hair and light warm skin. He has warm brown eyes hidden behind fashionable square frames and is often wearing tailored suits designed to move in.
Simone: Athletic build with long black hair (typically pinned up) and light, warm skin. She has warm brown eyes hidden behind fashionable square frames and is often wearing tailored suits designed to move in.
Rain: They have a slim, petite build with flawless tawny skin, which is amplified by their pale blue hair and matching pale eyes. They tend to opt for a more colourful wardrobe in the pastel range.
Taj (male): He has a lean build, golden brown skin, and dark, curly brown hair that tends to have a mind of its own. His ears and tail are matching brown, reminiscent of a Havana Brown cat. (He keeps them hidden underneath his clothes, which are often oversized to hide this face.) He also has very serious grey eyes and numerous scars marking his body.
Taj (female): She has a lean build, golden brown skin, and dark curly brown hair that tends to have a mind of its own. Her ears and tail are a matching brown, reminiscent of a Havana Brown cat. (She keeps them hidden underneath her clothes.) She also has very serious grey eyes and numerous scars marking her body.
Nazu: (As a human)He is very built with dark skin, which ensures his almost luminescent amber eyes stand out. His long, dark dreads are usually pulled up in a bun. Nazu tends to opt for clothes designed to tantalise, as well as show off the hair dusting his chest and arms.
When in his usual form, he also has large horns that curl out of his head, with a more reddish hue to his dark skin. Plus, the whites of his eyes will turn black.
Naera: (As a human) She is very curvy, opting instead to amplify her femininity in human form. Her dark skin ensures her luminescent amber eyes stand out. Her long, dark hair is in tight braids that flow down her back. Naera will opt for clothing designed to tantalise, teasing her assets in a flirty way.
When in her usual form, her horns curl out of her head, with a reddish hue to her dark skin. Plus, the whites of her eyes will turn black.
Umbra (male): Tall and lean build with black shoulder-length hair that contrasts against his pale, almost ghostly skin. He tends to have dark circles under his equally black eyes, as well as a deep scar cut through his left brow. His clothing usually consists of a black leather jacket, black pants and black combat boots.
Umbra (female): Tall and slim build with long black hair, half up in a pony, that contrasts against her pale, almost ghostly skin. She tends to have dark circles under her equally black eyes, as well as a deep scar cut through her left brow. Her clothing usually includes a black leather jacket, plaid skirt and black combat boots.
An urban fantasy/romance IF based in the fictional town of 'Albach Bay'.
Customise your private investigator: choose name, gender, appearance, sexuality, skill set and personality.
Play as male, female, or non-binary: straight, gay, bisexual, pansexual, as well as aromantic, asexual, or aro-ace.
Late 90s setting with limited technology, so be prepared to wait ten minutes for your PC to boot up.
My intention is to avoid 'game over' screens. There are no wrong answers in this game, and a "failure" is just another route.
5 main companions to befriend or romance, each with their own personalities and stories to tell.
Collect evidence in your notebook as you scour the dilapidated streets and beaches of Albach Bay for clues to finally catch your father's killer for good.
Revenge is best served cold.

Bloodlines is a 18+ dark, low/urban fantasy, horror story.
Demo (TBA)
Content Warnings include: Graphic violence and gore, Body horror, Strong language/profanity, Death and murder, Disturbing imagery, Blood and injury descriptions, Mental health themes, Supernatural horror elements, Substance use, (optional) sexual content. (Please keep in mind this is a very dark story with heavy themes and may not be suitable for everyone!!)
They call you Leech – a journalist with too much nerve and not enough self-preservation. You dig where no one else will. You expose what gets others buried. In Sordia, that makes you a target. Some respect you. Most want your throat cut.
You thought you'd seen the worst the city could offer until your estranged sister crashes back into your life, dropping a mystery in your lap: Twelve photos. Twelve people. And you’re in one of them.
Two people in those photos already went missing. No ransom, no trails, no bodies and no answers.
Now you’re caught in a story you didn’t ask for, but you'll follow it to the bitter end anyway.
Try not to run out of time to figure out who’s collecting names… before yours is crossed out too.
Centuries ago, there were myths about supernatural beings roaming through this world. Now, their descendants walk the streets. There are eleven main Bloodlines: Primordial, Umbra, Draegon, Seraph, Infernal, Fae, Abyssal, Ifrit, Manitou, Chronos and Chimaera.
The power runs in the blood. Not gods. Not monsters(?) Just a little more. Their abilities make them stronger, richer, deadlier but not untouchable.
In Sordia, a decaying metropolis built on the bones of old New York, humans and the powerful bloodborns coexist – barely. It’s a city where humans fight Bloodlines, and Bloodlines devour each other for control. Violence is routine, loyalty is rare, and everyone bleeds the same in the end. At the top sit the Twenty-Three Families, the ruling mix of old blood and old money. They own the precincts, the papers, and the people.
The law? Corrupt. The faiths? Weaponized. The truth? Up for auction. And you?
You’re just one more soul with a heartbeat, following blood trails with a camera, digging up what should’ve stayed buried.
Welcome to Sordia. The city's rotten to the core. Try not to catch it.
꙰ Play as a human Journalist and customize your looks, gender, pronouns, sexuality etc.
꙰ Form deep, messy, or dangerous connections. Romance is optional but sometimes survival depends on who you trust (*cough*or betray).
꙰ Are you more respected, or loathed? Your choices will shape how the Sordia treats you... and how you survive in it.
꙰ Print the truth no matter the cost or bury it for the right price. You decide where the line is, and how often you cross it.
꙰ Choose your career background – investigative journalist, tabloid reporter, war correspondent or whistleblower. Each path offers unique advantages... and setbacks.
꙰ Human or not, blood still spills. Sordia’s streets are dangerous, and your choices can mean life, death, or something worse.
Maud (female | Umbra Bloodline) Your estranged younger sister, and a walking disaster you can’t quite let go of. Maud only shows up whenever she wants and never when you’re ready. She’s been off the grid for years now, you have no idea where she’s been or what she’s done.
Benedict ''Ben'' (male | Human) Your uncle, and one of the few people who’s never lied to you. Ben tried to raise you and Maud the best he could, but Sordia eats good men fast. Now he doesn’t leave his apartment, not ever. He handles your digital back-end. Cameras, firewalls, encrypted archives, you name it, he’s cracking it. Ben’s not made for this place. But without him, you’d be dead ten times over.
Andre/ Anaya ''Ace'' Reid (male / female | Human RO) Your best friend, your backup, and one of the few people left who’ll pick up the phone when your name flashes on it. Ace works for the CRD, the folks who handle everything criminally bloodline related. Some say they’re too good for Sordia. You’re just hoping the city doesn’t eat them next.
Dr. Arden (male / female | Manitou Bloodline RO) Dr. Arden runs a neutral clinic in the undercity, patching up anyone who can crawl through the door. They're blunt, cold, and don’t care who you are, only how bad you're bleeding. They don’t take sides, don’t make friends, and don’t ask questions. But if you’re dying, they’re your last best chance.
Egon/ Emme Han (male / female | Draegon Bloodline RO) Heir to one of the most powerful Draegon families in the city, and the youngest CFO to ever make the top board. Sharp suit, sharper tongue. Egon/Emme moves through the world like it owes them something, and maybe it does. They’re arrogant, calculating, and impossible to impress.
Lucian/Lucia ''Luz'' (male / female | Infernal Bloodline RO) A crime boss with too much charm and not nearly enough mercy. Luz runs their empire with a grin, a drink in hand, and pink-tinted shades. No one really knows where they came from. All anyone knows is: you don’t cross them, and you don’t ever mistake their smile for kindness.

WARNINGS: Violence, gore, mature language, general struggling, realism, sex and sexual themes.
Genre: Apocalyptic grimdark horror.
“AND THEN THE WORLD ENDED. Everything came crashing down for my already screwed up life when those... creatures came, infected. Trapping me into another cage that we now call life. Running, fighting, scavenging, hiding… is on repeat constantly. Just a never-ending cycle of fighting for your life. Living is so.... exhausting. Not even living, just surviving.” I cleared my throat.
“I discovered secrets that I still cannot wrap my head around. Secrets that would have ruined everything. I'm sinking into it all.”
“Despite the chaos, there was a shining light in my corner. A group.” I smiled.
“We worked together and fought people, the world, as best as we could with our little but growing knowledge. Being a team was a little rocky in the beginning, but we knew making it through this mess would be easier if we had each other. Or at least by a little.
“But...” I took a long pause. Heaviness filled the air, like there was a pressure drop. It was almost as if we both knew what it meant without words. My eyes fixated on the floor as I felt my eyes watering, just a bit.
“Good things don’t always last. If I learned anything, it was that. And now, I’m here, alone.” A heavy sigh escaped my mouth, and my shoulders weren’t tense for the first time in what feels like forever.
“I should’ve been there....”
My hand reached for his, tight but gentle. “It’s okay. There was so much going on, anyway. What matters is that we’re together now.”
He smiled for a moment before his eyes descended into thought. “But what... really happened? I mean, that was so vague.”
My mind flashed through the events since the outbreak. Faces, sounds, smells, places. All kinds of feelings, even ones I can’t describe, weighed on my chest; so much in only a few seconds. “Well, what do you want to know?”
“Everything.”
The apocalypse engulfed you, and along with the rest of the surviving population, no one knows what’s happening. Or so you think. Infected overran the world, leaving most of the population dead. Streets are quiet, and houses are empty. Sometimes you just want to go home, but then you remember, there is no home to go to. Anyone would go insane, losing everything all at once.
Supplies linger, but they have run thin in the chaos as you survive in conditions you never would’ve expected; leaving behind the expected comforts of what you knew. Everything you wanted you could get with ease, but now you scavenge for food in a world where everyone and everything is out to get you.
People changed after the apocalypse, and that is ever so clear as you fight, not only infected but raiders who will do anything to get what they want. But not everyone you come across will have such nefarious intentions. There are also the compassionate, helpful people, but there are also people who sit in the middle, balancing their morality.
The road of survival will test you mentally and emotionally. Leaving you wondering if trying is really all that worth it. Many more questions linger in your mind, even dark ones that hide in the far corners of your head, gathering and waiting for you to break. But you won’t break, because you’re a fighter; you’ve always been. When an infected comes charging at you, you’ll stand your ground. Why?
‘Cause that’s just what you do.
Scavenging rabbit hole to gain supplies.
Customize your character's name, gender, pronouns, sexuality, eyes, hair, and more.
Personality and skill stats.
Romance one or two of the four characters in the next section, or just be friends.
Survive against raiders and infected.
FYI your parent's names are Elena and Pedro, if you don't want the same names as them.
| Caleb ??? | 23 | He/Him
Gender: Cis man
Sexuality: Bisexual
Race: African American
Appearance: Dark brown buzz cut, dark green eyes, and dark brown skin tone. Has a heart tattoo with the letter C on the inside of his wrist.
Body Type: Muscular, little to no definition, mass.
Height: 6'0
A brooding leader who leads with rationale and determination. He keeps his heart closed to anyone, fearing his past would come back and haunt him once again. His loner and cold nature holds him back from truly connecting with those around him. At the end of the day, his leadership is strong, keeping his group together like he knows he has to.
| Sudiro | 22 | He/Him
Gender: Cis man
Sexuality: Bisexual
Race: Javanese (Indonesian)
Appearance: Black, slightly wavy neck-length hair, dark brown eyes, and tan skin/honey skin tone. Back tattoo, neck tattoo, leg tattoo, stomach scar, hand scar, cheek scar, nose and ear piercings.
Body Type: Lean and defined.
Height: 5'7
Loves to live life on the edge and have fun. Jokes are his protection. His dream was to see the world, but it was abruptly crushed. Despite his adventurous nature, he is extremely pessimistic, always thinking of the worst. He can be snarky and rude, but deep down, he is caring and compassionate. Will those walls come down? Either way, he won't be listening to you anytime soon.
(Javanese people don't have last names.)
| Rue Benson | 21 | She/Her
Gender: Cis woman
Sexuality: Lesbian
Race: African American
Appearance: Dark brown shoulder-length dreads, eyes, and skin tone. Double sleeves and hand scar.
Body Type: Muscular/Ripped, in between definition and bulk, straight waist.
Height: 5'8
A kind-hearted soul who goes out of her way to help others. She knows how to handle herself but prefers to avoid confrontation. Gentle but strong. Her life before the apocalypse was a mess, and that mess only became worse. The world around her collapsed into moral ambiguity, but she stayed true to herself. But sometimes people can be too good.
Dana Léon | 21 | She/Her
Gender: Transgender woman
Sexuality: Bisexual
Race: White
Appearance: Light blonde armpit-length hair, blue eyes, and fair skin. Freckles. Eyebrow scar and earlobe piercings.
Body Type: Toned and slender.
Height: 5'3
Can be mischievous from time to time and is very self-assured. A little flirtatious, too. Doesn't think she needs anyone else and can survive on her own. But doesn't actively push others away, just stays alone as a first choice. Idealism keeps her going as she always tries to see the positive. She tells herself that the world will go back to the way it was all the time, even if she knows it's not true.
NOTES:
This game is 18+
If you have any suggestions, corrections, or criticism, feel free to tell me, unless it's something I already cleared up or went over, but I will not accept hatred. I want to grow, not to be put down.
I'll update this post if there are changes regarding anything that is considered a warning.
I used AI somewhat for my code. Until recently, I didn't realize how bad that was. My future projects will be free from any AI, and this project will be as well as it progresses. If you want to stay, I appreciate it, but if you don't, I understand. It's something I'm not proud of, to be clear.

Parasitic.
[DEMO TBA]

You awaken in a swamp…or is it the woods? You don't know. You don't know where you are, you don't know what you are.
A human, or something else entirely?
A vessel, or a monster in your own right?
Whatever you are, whoever you are, you've picked a hell of a time to wake up in The Wardens. Mysterious deaths, missing dead bodies, and a supposedly incurable disease that's slowly killing the forest around you.
Not to mention that man (?), the one that only you can see, that only you can hear, who keeps trying to tell you to get away whilst you can.
Recover your memories soon, my little lamb, before paradise crumbles and the deities abandon you all..
✦•······················•✦•······················•✦ ✦•······················•✦•······················•✦
Play as an amnesiac in completely unfamiliar territory...you're pretty sure. Make friends, make enemies, develop a crush, maybe even play detective, the choices are yours to make.
Just...maybe make sure you jog that memory a little, lest you become the next ashen body to end up face down in the swamp (again, in your case).
Choose Learn your name, sexuality, and gender, as well as certain aspects of your appearance as you navigate your surroundings and interact with the people in them.

[characters of note below the cut]
Important Encounters ;
The Annoyance - he / they
He's always there, just behind your shoulder, hovering like a concerned parent (or maybe a mosquito you can't quite swat away). On a good day between the two of you, you just about remember how to walk and talk, yet despite that he can pretty accurately guide you away from perceived trouble. Will you choose to listen to him, or will you disregard him as a paranoid hallucination?
The Medic - she / her [RO]
She's patient and gentle, everything you could ever ask for from a healer, and surprisingly in tune with your needs even despite being strangers. Still there's a lingering concern as more bodies vanish, as more trees begin to wilt, a pressure mounting on the Medic to fix it somehow. Will you find a way to ease her burden a little, or will you become yet another problem adding weight to her shoulders?
The Guard - he / him [RO]
He's quiet and stoic, but not cruel, patrolling the town with an unrelenting vigilance that serves to put many people at ease with how consistent he is. His task is to ensure the safety of the townsfolk, so he regards you with suspicion wherever you go, the timing of your appearance an unfortunate coincidence. Will you prove his suspicions unfounded, or will you give him reason to kick you out like he's wanted from the start?
The Priestess - she / they [RO]
Sheltered and a little timid, it's the Priestess' job to monitor the Central Tree, the life of the surrounding area, making sure the deities stay peaceful. She is the first one called, right after the medic, about your markings, in the hopes that she could discern what they were. Her quietness is a little uncomfortable at times, sure, but she's perceptive and kind (if a little awkward). Will you let her help as best they can, or will you listen to the voices saying that there's more to her than meets the eye?
The Enigma - they / he [RO]
Your neighbour whilst you stay in The Wardens, though you rarely ever see him at home. He's charming and playful, helping out here and there, and entertaining the kids with simple magic tricks. Yet...you don't really know much beyond their first name, in fact you're not even sure their whole appearance is natural, now that you look closer. Will you uncover their secrets, or will you let him fade from your mind in a distant whisper?
The...what is that? [who] is that...?
Don't worry, little lamb, you'll find out soon enough. It's watching, after all, and you make for such good entertainment. It can't help but show its appreciation.
✦•······················•✦•······················•✦ ✦•······················•✦•······················•✦
[NOTE ; all romance options are gender-locked for my own sanity when coding / writing, however they are all bi / pan, so it won't effect MC]

You wake in a frozen wasteland, abandoned, hungry, and with no memory of who or what you are.
Two dark and powerful men find you in the snow. They take you in and keep you warm. Try as you might to resist them, it isn't long before you lose your heart and your virtue.
As your past unravels, the mystery surrounding you only deepens. They tell you you're one of them: a darksinger, immortal and god-touched, cursed with a lust for blood and a barren womb.
If that's true, how is it that you are carrying their children?
The Bride of Shadows rework is now starting on the public build. While the story will feel familiar to players of the former version, it has gone through a comprehensive restructure. Former save games no longer apply.
Choose from a variety of physical characteristics that impact your narrative. Human skin tones or the blues and purples of a shadewalker? Slender or voluptuous? Short or tall? The love interests and the world will respond to your unique appearance.
Craft a personality profile that grows with you. Are you bold and opinionated, or calculating and adaptable? Do you take control of your fate, or is the deck always stacked against you? No choice is wrong—each trait unlocks unique dialogue and opportunities.
Can't decide between the love interests? They don’t mind sharing. Dive into a dangerously passionate romance with all three and explore their tangled, fiery bond.
Choose your romantic dynamic with each love interest. Play hard-to-get or melt in their arms. Your love story and their behaviors will adapt to your choices.
Journey through a vast Scandinavian-inspired dark fantasy region. Discover a rich, immersive world brimming with hidden lore, moral dilemmas, and centuries-old rivalries.
Experience pregnancy and motherhood through the perspective of your MC. What will your children be like, and can you raise them to be virtuous in a dark world?
Tailor your explicit content. Are you provocative, bold, and adventurous in the bed furs? Or is your MC demure, preferring to be shyly led as her lovers take the lead? Do you want MMF intimacy, or do you prefer to be center-stage in MFM love scenes? Same rules apply for MMFM scenes.
Bride of Shadows is a female-protagonist interactive romance novel intended for readers 18+. It is a text-based game with explicit content. It is a work-in-progress and currently playable through Night II, approximately 19,000 words. New updates on Itch will be rolling out every 1 to 2 weeks. Huge thanks to the patrons who made this possible, both with allowing me to write full-time and providing crucial feedback to improve the narrative and gameplay.
[Play the Public Build]
[Delve Deeper on Patreon]
Fated Mates Route ★ Contains everything in the classic storyline, but the MC will experience an intense mate bond with Valdricht. Serax and Valdricht will not be romantically involved. Your MC can develop a friendship or antagonistic relationship with Serax. Kerach will keep his distance. MF only. Darker than Classic. Ideal for dark fantasy aficionados who prefer monogamy. Currently playable up to Night 3.5.
Dark Maiden Route ★ Everything in the classic route, but darker. The choices are limited. Serax, Valdricht, and Kerach will expect the MC's complete submission.

The Ashen Rose of Libertine
New project maybe?
Soul eater. Monster.
That was what they called you. That was what the crowd chanted as they dragged you, shackled and bloodied, through the town square. You are a spoil of war. One of the few rare and precious things left in Jeilene. Capable of calling forth the powers of the elements, you are one of the six human mage's that survived The Great War.
After years on the run, living as a nomad, you and your comrads are captured and brought to The Coloseum.
They meant to make an example of you. A brutal, public death for yourself and your friends.
They meant to humiliate you. Desecrate you.
They meant to watch you squirm like a rat in a cage. To make you beg as the lives of yourself and your friends were slowly snuffed out.
That was what they'd intended.
But everyone has secrets. Maybe you most of all.
And you will be no one's marionette. In a world like Jeilene, a secret like yours could bring about the dawn of a new age. Or the extinction of what's left of your race.
Will you choose to embrace the darkness? To become the monster? The Soul Eater? Or will you chose the high road -the path of the righteous -regardless of what it may cost?
Your choices will have consequences. You will not be the only one affected by your actions. The people you meet along the way will reap the benefits- or consequences- of your choices as well. So, whatever you do, just remember.
Choose wisely.
New/dual IF maybe?
Check out the intro to chapter 1 here!

New Project Launch: A Crown of Velvet Thorns
Prince Leonidas, the future King of Libertine, wears devotion like a sin and bleeds like a saint. But not for his kingdom. He does it all for you.
Check out the first chapter here!
If you're in the mood for angst, romance, and slow burn longing set against the backdrop of a royal court, then this one's for you :) This story has been living rent free in my head for the last ten years. It's a bit of a departure from my usual genre on this site, it leans more into forbidden romance and yearning.
I will be working on this when I don't have the brainpower to do the worldbuilding necessary for The Last Divine. Once I'm back and fully functional, I plan on incorporating choices into this. For now, it's more of a linear demo, but it will be a good litmus test to see if people are interested in it. Take care and I hope you enjoy the dash of angst<3
Story
Everyone believes Prince Leonidas bleeds for Libertine. For honor, for The King, for the crown he will inherit. But they’ve never seen the way he looks at you. They don’t see the boy who still carries a rose you gave him ten years ago, pressed flat with magic and grief.
You are not a noble. You are not his equal. You are the stablehand with dirt under your nails and memories on your lips. The only one who’s ever seen him cry, the only one who never bowed.
The court challenges his rule- his capacity to be ruthless. To spill the blood needed to maintain Jeilene's borders and keep its people safe. But you know the real Leonidas. The man without the crown.
In the stables, in the rain, in the quiet between duty and longing, he becomes something else. Not a prince, but a man. One who would give up everything if you asked. One who would die if it meant keeping you safe.
And when war calls him away, he leaves a promise behind.
All you have to do is call his name, and he will come.
Even if it kills him.
Check out the DEMO here!

New Project Launch: The House of Noctus
An 18+ Dark Vampire Romance IF. Some desire you. Others want you dead. You trade power in blood and secrets.

The House of Noctus
In the seedy underbelly of Northwyck, your most valuable currencies are secrets- and blood.
You wake in a stranger’s bed with blood on your lips and a bullet hole in your ribs. The man that found you says that you belong to him. And he to you. You are the leader of The House of Noctus, the most influential vampire Coven in the northern region. But you have no memory of who you are, or the past life that you led.
Thrown into a world of masked courts, ruthless politics, and velvet seduction, you must unravel who you were, and decide who you'll become.
Fight. Flee. Seduce. Survive.
But above all, remember who you are. Before someone else decides for you.
━━━━━━ ❖ ━━━━━━
The Romance Options
Lestat
Your lover. Your Monseur. Your betrothed. You find vestiges of the life you once shared with him everywhere you look, but you can't remember the man who'd sooner die for you than see you hurt.
Snow
Your protector. Your shield. Loyal to a fault to you and you alone, Snow follows your orders without question. But is he loyal to you because you lead The House of Notcus, or are his motivations more personal?
Zero
Your blade. Your assassin. Zero does your bidding in the dark, without question. You've known him for years, but for all intents and purposes, the handsome vampire is still an enigma. Even to you.
Dimitri
Master of the coven of The House of Deveraux, Dimitri holds a seat at The Crimson Court. He opposes you- openly- at ever turn. But not because his political interests are opposite your own.

✩ DEMO TBA ✩
Customize your MC! Play as male, female, or non-binary; straight, gay, bi, or ace; cis or trans. The choice is yours.
Use your powers of invisibility for good, to stir up trouble...or refuse to use them at all.
Bring a pal along! Your optional canine companion is customizable and at your side through thick and thin.
Decorate The Chickadee Diner—your hangout spot in Osprey Bay. The theme you choose shapes who walks through its doors, and the kind of help they have to offer.
Enlist the help of the townsfolk with a good reputation—or find alternative methods to get what you need.
Pick a love interest from 4 potentials...or don't.
Pick a BFF who'll be there for you in times of need.
And remember: you're giving it what it wants.
You saw something in the flames the day you got your powers; five years later, its visage still dogs your steps.
There was once a place the youths of Osprey Bay went to party without the risk of parents, rules—problems: 'Froggy Island', an archipelago in the center of Lake Hackett. You couldn't claim you'd survived Osprey High without making your mark on the Rock.
You made the trip to the lake island for senior year graduation. There were youths of all ages there that night—strangers, rivals, friends. All joined together for the traditional coming-of-age ritual.
But another ritual was underway, and the creature performing it hadn’t anticipated an interruption.
A group of five stragglers happened upon that clearing; you were the only ones who made it off the island unscathed when the flames consumed it.
Unscathed, and brimming with new magic.
Now in your early twenties, your powers of invisibility haven't been enough to hide from the memory of what you saw in that fire. You're living out of town, out of contact with the only other people who might understand; it's what you all agreed was best.
But now something is tugging at you, gnawing at you, giving you no peace, no sleep, no life until you do as it bids: return to Osprey Bay.
You can't ignore its siren's call any longer.
You’re playing right into its hands.
You have no choice.
Avy (she/her), The Wayward Wanderer (she blames herself for that night)

Play the Demo! (Updated 6/15/2025) (Prologue and Chapter 1)
Kortapolis. The jewel of the Kingdom of Edria. The busiest port in Eastern Lysseta. Your home. At least, it was your home. You were born with the sound of the ocean in your ears and the smell of its salt in your nose. Your life revolved around the busy commotion of the port, the fruit stalls that lined the streets downtown, the cafes where people swapped stories and secrets. This was your whole world—until it came crashing down. When Wastoria invaded, everything changed. Soldiers marched in the streets and reduced neighborhoods to rubble. Civilians were forced out of the city, and close friends, allies, and confidants disappeared under the waves of an invasion so powerful that even now, it visits you in your dreams. Years later, Edria is in two. The upland region, the mountains, are still part of Edria. But Kortapolis District is occupied by Wastoria, a humiliation so bracing that sometimes it still leaves your heart pounding with rage. The rest of the world calls Kortapolis District a “disputed zone”. You know what it is: yours. But you won’t let your home vanish behind the pointed guns of the Wastorian military. No: you rise through the ranks in Edria, and soon, you are elected president. A fledgling new democracy, Edria has a litany of problems. But the biggest of all is drawn in careful dashed lines on every world map. Fixing this may take careful statecraft, a strategic balancing of alliances. It may take cyberwarfare, harnessed by cultivating an ally. It may take economic retaliation, or sanctions. It may take subterfuge, weakening Wastoria from the inside out. It may take war. But one thing is certain. You will make Kortapolis yours again. You will make Edria whole. Maybe that will heal you, too.
Pro Patria Mori is a sci-fi/fantasy interactive fiction novel where you play as the president of the Republic of Edria, a fledgling democracy emerging from diplomatic isolation.
Content Warnings: depictions of war, discrimination, and torture. Route-specific warnings include past physical, emotional, or sexual abuse (labelled and avoidable)
*Customize President Rezanii. Choose your appearance, gender, background, species, personality, and political outlook.
*Choose your relationship with your missing parents, the nature of your imprisonment by Wastorian forces, and your attitude towards Edria's future.
*Explore a world where magic and technology blend.
*Discover Edria, a Caribbean-inspired country on the brink of democracy or dictatorship.
*Receive diplomatic and personal messages in your in-game inbox and receive news updates on the consequences of your decisions
*Define your term in office. Will you wage war or build peace? Will you push Edria towards democracy or revive the old monarchy?
Vice President Faustino Marellii: your best friend
Romanceable? Yes
Faustino grew up alongside you; it was only natural he’d be your vice president. Before joining your campaign, Faustino was the popular mayor of Alzome, Edria’s capital. He has a reputation for being surprisingly gentle despite the cutthroat nature of Edrian politics. At least, for all issues except Edria’s relationship with Wastoria. He took care of you after you were freed from Wastorian prison and he still worries over your wellbeing.
Appearance: tall and toned with bronze skin and soft freckles. He has bright violet eyes and wavy, vibrant blue hair, indicative of him being an innate magic user (yadukari) that specializes in controlling ice and water.
Advisor Michi Dandleton: your chief strategist
Romanceable? Yes
Michi is well known in political circles for their workaholic behavior and their remarkable ability to uncover the secrets of their candidate’s opponents. They immigrated to Edria from Adranga shortly after the end of the Edrian civil war, and have never told you why they chose to leave home. They masterminded the campaign that secured you the presidency, and remain a vital part of your staff.
Appearance: average height, lithe build with rosy skin. They have electric blue eyes and short pink hair, indicative of them being a yadukari that specializes in controlling and reading emotions.
Officer Nura Alonar: your bodyguard
Romanceable? Yes, slow-burn romance
Nura was identified as a particularly powerful magic user when she was young, and the Edrian royal guard offered her parents a stipend in exchange for her being sent away and trained. Her parents accepted and Nura left her home for the capital, where she was raised to one day serve the royal family. But when the civil war reached the palace, she and a few other trainees defected to assist the pro-democracy forces. Now she serves as the last line of defense between you and the people who want to kill you.
Appearance: short and very muscular with dark brown skin with significant scarring. She has red eyes and hair, which she keeps in long braids with decorative beads she uses as magic amplifiers. While she’s a yadukari, her training means she can control fire as well as use telekinesis.
Ambassador Junius Felice: ambassador from the Empire of Langostia
Romanceable? Yes, either as a fling or a romance
Rich, arrogant, and almost always jovial, Junius is known in diplomatic circles for his lavish parties and condescending attitude towards democracies and countries poorer than his own. He was born and raised in Langostia, the wealthy and powerful monarchy to Edria’s north. He’s been tasked with rebuilding Langostia’s relationship with their former ally Edria through whatever means necessary—and, ideally, steering Edria away from democracy.
Appearance: tall with an average build and tawny skin. He has dark brown eyes and long brown, almost black hair. He has no innate magic, but that’s no reason to underestimate him.
Consul Priyanshi Areshka: consul from the Republic of Kalendra
Romanceable? Yes
Priyanshi represents Kalendra, a country Edria has yet to recognize. She was born in Langostia as a vatilti–a class of genetically engineered and cybernetically enhanced people used as spies and soldiers by the Langostian royal family and classified as property under Langostian law. Kalendra was founded by escaped vatilti, and its continued existence and growing prosperity is a long-standing annoyance to Langostia. Priyanshi is still adjusting to life with recognized personhood and is utterly fascinated by the ability to sleep in, eat interesting foods, and insult people without getting shocked by an implant.
Appearance: very tall and toned with warm brown skin and significant cybernetic modifications. She has golden, pupil-less eyes and golden, coily hair. Priyanshi is a sankara, a species of being with innate magic and the ability to easily shapeshift.
Admiral Garzi: the former president of Edria
Romanceable? No
The father of the Edrian Republic and, depending on your choices, a father figure or mentor to you as well. Garzi was an admiral dating back to the Kingdom of Edria and he helped start the civil war after refusing an order to fire on unarmed pro-democracy protestors. He was elected the first president of Edria, largely because he was the only figure voters could rally around. He’s always had a soft spot for you, which you can choose to reciprocate or not.
Appearance: late 50s, stocky build with dark tan skin and deep brown hair that is now going gray after years serving a hostile royal family and then trying to guide Edria into being a new democracy. His eyes are kind, but tired. His appearance makes it clear he has no innate magic, though that hasn’t stopped him from being one of the most popular—and divisive—figures in Edria.
Ambassador Arlo Iltik: the Wastorian ambassador to Edria
Romanceable? No
A patriotic Wastorian and yadukari nationalist, Arlo has been sent to Edria to try and convince the Edrian government to recognize Kortapolis as Wastorian territory through negotiation, coercion, violence, or all of the above. He doesn’t particularly respect you or your country.
Appearance: soft lilac hair indicating mental powers and fair skin. Arlo is average height, but the way he carries himself makes him seem to loom over other people. Deep purple eyes that almost seem to glow. Very fashionable and favors Wastorian styles, which tend to be flowing and dramatic, with bold colors.

What is a King to a God, and what is a God to a non-believer?
DEMO ☥ PINTEREST
This game is geared for mature audiences and as such is strictly 18+.
Ancient shackles bind you to the mortal realm, a soul severed from a home lost to the sands of time. A curse on you, a blessing for those who take command; Who wouldn't like to own a God?
You're the highly revered deity of fortune. Or you were, five thousand and eighty-two years ago. Now you're nothing but a glorified plaything to one of the most powerful families in the world. Every demand you must fulfill, no matter how vile or self-serving. The illusion of choice is all but shattered, there's nothing you can do to change it.
Or is there?
It takes a simple thing for something to shift. A fragment from the past, an ageless, flickering hum of power that unfurls the hands of fate and unearths buried sparks of hope. No one would've thought that an ancient sherd would hold the first hint to your freedom, a warm, familiar sensation of your soul locked in a tomb somewhere where no mortal has stepped in well over five thousand years.
Let's hope the decay doesn't take you before you find your way back home.
☥ FEATURES ☥
Two separate sides to customization; The one mortals perceive, and select parts of your true form. Choose names, appearances, gender, pronouns, sexuality, romantic orientation, and more.
Shape the personality that starts to re-emerge after being dulled for the better part of history. Reconnect with yourself, and get in touch with memories and feelings you lost so long ago.
Experience a character-driven story full of twists and turns that eventually determine how each of the three endings play out.
Romance one (or two) potential love interests from a cast of characters; A shunned archaeologist, a primordial God, the reincarnation of a priestess, or the mysterious man you can't quite place. Or don't, it's up to you.
And last but not least: Don't let the decay reach your heart. Every change of fortune has consequences, and mindfulness is encouraged. This game does have bad endings.
☥ CAST OF CHARACTERS ☥
Zain/Zaina Tharset ∆ M or F, 28
"You're my birthright, and I'd sooner have you dead than let you make a fool out of me."
Z is your charge. Loud, obnoxious, and entitled; They don't care about your feelings or protests. Every desire that leaves them only serves them alone, and it's on brand for most of the charges you've had before. In simple terms, Z is not a good person, and the more time you serve under them, the less you believe they have any redeeming qualities.
Like everyone in the family, Z has warm brown skin with golden undertones, and eyes in light shades of brown. Their hair is naturally curly and shaved on the sides, leaving a strip of hair on the top and back, like a fashionable mohawk. Zaina's hair reaches the middle of her shoulder blades, while Zain's stops at the nape of his neck.
Being bound to them is painful, but you have no choice. Trying to retrieve your soul will be an ordeal, and it might not be worth the agony.
Rami Tharset ∆ M, 28, RO
"Just because the world has forgotten you, forgotten them, doesn't mean I will."
Rami is the twin brother of your current charge. Kind and humble, it's difficult to imagine him a part of the Tharset family on count of how different he is from that pit of vipers. He keeps to himself, usually holed away in a library or study where he digs into the history of, well, you. Or the ancient world you came from. This has caused the rest of the archeological community to shun him, the name of your old empire nothing more than a myth and a glorified fairy tale.
Rami shares his family's warm brown skin tone, and the black curly hair that's usually a messy mop that sits on top of his head, unstyled and naturally chaotic. It reaches just the stop of his ears, and is shaved in the back. Light brown eyes that are quite blurry without his glasses, but the gold-tinted pilot-framed lenses fit him nicely.
He's one of the few friendly faces you face in the Tharset circle, and you curse your misfortune that you couldn't have him as a charge instead.
Maluset ∆ M, N/A, RO
"For all I am, all I have controlled, still I could not keep you safe. Forgive me, old friend."
The God of the Night, and everything that you have left of an age and life long forgotten. While the rest of your pantheon faded one by one, he remained. You've always known Maluset as a calm presence, a steadfast and unperturbed God that never let himself be shaken, by mortals or his siblings.
While Mal prefers manifesting as his animal motif - a jackal made of black marble and eyes like consolidated galaxies - he does have a human form too. If he must appear mortal, his skin takes the color of what the mortals of your time had; bronzed, medium brown with a golden undertone. His hair would be jet black and curly, medium length, and he likes it naturally tousled by the winds. If necessary, he'll let his eyes appear dark brown in color, but he prefers the starlit skies in them instead.
He's been a constant in your life, at least until he disappeared three centuries ago. You know he's still out there since the realm where you take shelter is his, and it hasn't yet disappeared.
Rory Ewing ∆ F, 23, RO
"I can't remember, but your face, it stirs something in my heart. Why? Who was I to you?"
Rory is a new acquaintance to you, but there's something very familiar about her. She might just be a student now, her curiosity bringing her close to you, but you can feel an old connection whenever she's close by. Her voice reminds you of prayers long ago, even if her modern vernacular is closer to 'damn, that shit's the bomb' than hymns sung in your praise. Then again, reincarnation has a way of changing people.
It doesn't, however, change appearances. Back in your day, Rory's vessel was a traveler from the north; Her skin was light beige, rosy in its undertones. Her hair was thick and a subdued red, woven into an intricate braid that hung over her shoulder, reaching her midriff. Her eyes were also uncommon to you; pale green, vibrant but ghostly.
She doesn't remember you, and maybe that's for the best. Her new self is a stark contrast to who she was, and you don't think she'd enjoy the idea of donning priestess garb over the punk-rockish getup she wears now.
Taz Arian ∆ M, 34, RO
"Funny, isn't it? How some people seem familiar, even when they shouldn't be."
Taz is... Someone. He appears out of nowhere to join your journey, his knowledge of old ruins and tombs handy but somewhat worrying when he shouldn't even be able to see you. There's a strange thrum of power coming from him whenever he speaks, and you swear you've met him before, but where? It might be easier to find out if he didn't deflect and flirt his way out of things, but it does help with mortals that can't see you.
His appearance is nothing extraordinary; Dark brown hair that's held up in a bun, and you could assume it reaches his shoulders when loose, the loose curls pulling it a tad shorter. His eyes are light in color, almost golden in the right light, glinting with mischief. His skin is weathered, and golden bronze in color, with an intricate tattoo of an eagle spanning across his chest. He also sports a short beard, which gives him a rogueish look.
There is something about him that tugs at your memories, but you can't catch that thread of remembrance for long enough to recall him. Still, he doesn't seem to mind and resorts to teasing you instead.
