The Eternal Library Demo Update! 🎉
The intrigue in The Eternal Library is getting so good! 🎉
I’m about halfway through The Rescue side of chapter five and excited to share my progress with you! 💃
✨ I’ve just updated the public demo with some juicy new content!
✨ I’ve also added a little extra to the Patreon demo that gives subscribers a gasp-worthy drop of drama that isn’t available yet to the public. I’m not sure how I’ll write myself out of this one, so members get to watch as I figure it out. 😆
Chapter five progress is ongoing. The Treasury path is currently sitting at 11k words and The Rescue path is 30k words long. I’m working on finishing The Rescue version of this chapter first, but it’s shaping up to be a long one!
In this demo update you get:
Two paths for chapter five, partially written.
An adventure at sea.
Optional moments of intimacy.
Lots of time with Dorian and company.
So much intrigue.
Atmosphere galore.
A new character who might be an RO in a future story. 👀
As always, if you find bugs or typos please let me know. I believe I’ve addressed any issues reported thus far.
Massive gratitude to my Patreon supporters, to those of you who share my posts, and to everyone who is following along as I write this story! 🙌
❤️ 👑 ❤️ Hope you enjoy the update! ❤️ 👑 ❤️

CHAPTERS 1 – 6 REWRITES.
PUBLIC RELEASE.


Hello Lovelies,
It’s been nearly a year since I last publicly updated The Six That Thrive, and I have many conflicted feelings. First, I am extremely happy with this project and extremely happy to continue, but I’m also really having to come to terms with the fact that TSTT is a rough draft. And having to figure out my writing style that I really like, which is a mixture of good characterization as well as good description. So it’s been a hard balance—and one I’m not completely happy with—but that’s okay. The bare bones of this project are good, and I will continue to aim higher for the future chapters.

QUESTIONS:
Many have asked if I’ll continue to disappear and not post. The answer is no! I’m happy with Chapters 1–6, and future chapters will be posted one by one with early releases, as well as alternating between Ifs.
With interaction, I will have dedicated days throughout the month to post and respond to all messages, to give myself a break and focus on things outside my writing! With Patreon | | Ko-fi, I will—and have over the year—continue to post updates, behind-the-scenes, and commissions!! So thank you!!

| | CHAPTERS 1 – 6 REWRITES | |

Public release of CT:OS Ch 7 pt. 2

The public release of the Chapter 7 pt. 2 update has gone live! Play it here!
This covers the quarter-final match against Sam, the post-match interview, and the conversation with Sam after :)
Word count: About 70k words in (messy) code, but likely about 20-25k words play-through since there’s quite a few varying branches in this (different partners, Felix hookup etc.)
----
Features:
Some real tennis action—the full quarter-final match against Sam!! (In time for Roland Garros season, whew!)
A potentially tense moment between Felix and Sam if you’d hooked up with Felix while in a relationship with Sam
An option to kiss Tobin/Rayyan after the match and settle your teammates’ bets once and for all
Post match interview where you’ll be able to admit to being in a relationship with Sam, Tobin, or Rayyan
Game skip feature:
You can also skip right to the new content, i.e. Sam QF match OR to the beginning of Chapter 7.
I’ve also added passwords to skip the doubles matches leading up to the tournament now.
Hope you guys like the update <3 As always, send me a message/ask or email at [email protected] if you wanna chat, gush, or report a bug!

Chapter 5 out 🥳
First of all...
THE SAVES WILL BREAK! There is no workaround. The saves will break.
Second, READ THE CONTENT WARNINGS AGAIN. This is important. Some heavy stuff will be present in this chapter.
The update is 158 000 extra words. The chapter is playable to the end, but it's still a work in progress. There will be missing choices towards the middle and end, which will be added later.
Right now though, I'm going on a vacation, so I will be much slower to answer until I get back at the end of June.
Click here for the demo
Patreon supporters already got to read this, but there won't be game updates on patreon either until I come back, so soonest at the end of June :)
Enjoy, and I hope you all will have a great time reading! ❤️

Cantata Chapter 3 is Now Live!
I know I’ve been teasing it for a few days but I am honestly so hyped to share this chapter with you! Not only have we hit the main storyline and things are starting to happen, but this chapter feels like a collaborative effort. There are several details and scenes that sprang directly from tumblr asks and discussions. You’ve helped me flesh out ideas and characters, and I can’t wait for you to see how our story is unfolding! 💕
There may be things I can’t readily talk about, but please don’t let that stop you from sending in asks. I’m honestly looking forward to the response to this chapter, and there’s plenty of good stuff we can talk about!
Go forth! Read. And remember… y’all asked for this. 😉😏

The air shimmers, heat-sick, sterile, red-red light from the sunset fading purple and filtered through the glass, and you're reminded of transfusion bags, of the urine-yellow quality of saline in plastic. You breathe out again. "Do you really think I wanted this?"
Project Hadea: Chapter Five, part two is now available to play! Featuring:
A trip to the hospital
An awkward conversation (or two)
This game is rated 18+. This section contains descriptions of surgery, injuries, medical horror, and (discussion of) bodily autonomy violations.
Word Count: 90,000

Chapter 6 is released!
You’ve been wandering in the darkness, but now the light is here, and it blinds you. Your vision clears, and you see it. You see the trap closing right above your head, leaving you with no way to escape.
The situation with Vezriel’s sibling becomes troublesome. Because of your abilities, you learn more than you should know. But it gives you a chance to see Vezriel from a side they show to few demons.
A strange vision promises you misery, though you don’t know why or how. Is it connected to Os? You can only guess, though you don’t have much time for it as Os pulls you back into the high society and shows you how they deal with some matters.
Perhaps Laz would’ve preferred to keep you at a safe distance, but when trouble knocks on the door of their home, Laz can’t refuse your help with an important matter. If you want your payment in honesty, you might just get it this time.
You and Ashmedai both walk closer to something you would rather not remember. For you, it is a painful reminder; for them, it’s another stone added to the weight of their guilt. They’re not prepared to give their last, most painful ‘secret’ to your judgment, but they must.
Az seems so simple, but the more you learn about them, the less you understand them. They’ve opened their home for you—which you never expected to happen—and have shown you unprecedented trust, but you still can’t stop wondering about what they’re hiding from you.
Over 100K words of new content!
Other updates/changes:
Content warnings are updated!
Added the Oracle’s appearance description and the characters’ heights to the profiles.
The relationship’s statuses will update almost at the end of the chapter, so take a peek at these 👀
Serif font is changed. I don’t think anyone cares, lol, but this one is easier to read.
A new hidden stat. It is an obvious one, so I’ll let you find it in the chapter. It’s not here to make or ruin your playthrough, so don’t fret about it and choose what is suitable for your Oracle! :) It’ll mostly give you additional flavor text depending on the other choices you make in the future.
There are lots of variables and branches at work, and I couldn’t go through all of them. So if you see something wanky, or a bug, or a double space line, or typos, or anything that sounds like it shouldn’t be in your specific playthrough/etc., please let me know! You can put it in the tumblr askbox, in the form, or message me directly anywhere.
LINK
I’ve been waiting for this chapter (this and the next one) for so long. When I was coming up with ideas for this story, the last scene of this chapter was among the first things I wrote down. At last you can guess where I’m leading the Oracle and what their journey will look like. Their journey and their growth... or downfall. And you’ll be the one to decide what it is and what the Oracle thinks of it :)
I wonder how many readers will be surprised by it and how many have been expecting it 👀 Let me know what you think about it!

If a soul is born without resonance, what does it echo instead?
✦ Rating: 18+ (Mature Themes, addiction - substance use, Strong Language, Emotional Abuse, torture, violence, sexual assault, explicit sex)
✦ In Thalwood, the trees don't just whisper, They sing. And when they fall silent, we hold our breath.
It has been many centuries since you made the mistake of stepping out of line. Before this room, and before the horrors inflicted upon your body and soul you were someone – something.
Anger. Rage. Wrath.
Though, those titles were much prettier when first bestowed upon you like an act of love. Now the only acts of love given to you are the cuts of a blade and the painful tugging of a cleaning cloth.
After years, and years of pleading to be forgiven and begging for your sins to be released, you are dismissed from the celestial realm to continue your divine punishment. As if centuries of pain weren’t enough. You find yourself vulnerable in a world you’ve dreamt of exploring before.
Altheria.
Unfortunately, your newfound freedom is fleeting.
Just as you awaken on the moss-covered ground, you’re struck with the bubbling frustration of a man standing no more than ten meters in front of you. His sloppily managed magic shackling you once again. Not by a God this time, but by pale, shaking, mortal hands.
✦ In this interactive fiction you will be able to
‣ Customise your character’s appearance, gender (male, female, non-binary), personality, and sexuality.
‣ Meet and romance (or don’t romance), antagonise, or befriend some interesting human companions. - Please note that being in a romantic relationship does not mean you have to persue sex or physical intimacy.
‣ live as familiar and experience whatever that entails.
‣ Explore the town of Thalwood and learn about the Ethereal Harmonics.
‣ Find about about Thalwood's history and solve some of it's mysteries.
‣ Escape from the chains binding you to your abusive creator and their flock of angels and enact revenge.

She carries on her a beautiful rosary and you can help but notice how her dark brown eyes light up when she looks at it, a stark contrast to the uncomfortable grimace she pulls when she speaks to you.
Often seen volunteering in the church, maybe she can give you a mortal perspective on Altheria, your creator and the angels.
Tropes: apprehensive friends to lovers, deconstructing harmful religious beliefs (together), forbidden love.
Green flags: Kind, generous, Passionate, Merciful, gentle.

In the end, he got what he wanted.
✦ The Angels
Woven from Aquine’s heart are her beloved Angels. As a testament to his love and affection towards the first living beings they’ve ever created, they forfeited their emotions, desires and virtues. Thus, the first Angel dubbed ‘the Prototype Angel’ was given her hatred. A boon for her future creations to share – the gift of never feeling hated.
✦ The Ethereal Harmonies

☽ DEMO (TBA)
Those who never learn history are doomed to repeat it.
There is something wrong with your blood, the others sense it when they look at you. Your parents said it’s what makes you special, beloved. You wish it to be true. You are ten when you notice the change, the thing that courses in your veins, wishing to be released, but you don’t know how.
You are thirteen when it releases itself. Anguish, grief, rage. Power. It destroys everything around you, it strives to kill, and it does. It is that fateful day that lands you here, trapped and caged within the walls of the Guilded Palace. This is the place you believe you will die.
Until you don’t, you’re kept alive. Here, against your will. Trained and yielded to be a tool. In the next ten years of your life, you will become a prized captive under the King’s guard. Wallowing in hate, waiting for your time to come to an end. Then the dragons appear, the royal family is assassinated, a rebellion ensues, and all the problems are pointed towards you.
Can you prove your innocence? Is it even worth it to try?
The Incantation is rated 18+ for violence, death, abuse, explicit language, unhealthy relationships, morally questionable characters, suggestive content, and possibly more triggers pending.
☽ Play as a witch of your own making.
Customize your character.
Build your relationships with those around you.
Learn more about the power that plagues you.
Form yourself into a weapon of your choosing or become the monster they made you out to be.
Save the kingdom or doom it to eternity.
☽ Romance one of four love interests.
Evander Alazar. (he/him)
Evander is the crown prince of Elyssia. Often charming and elusive, Evander hides behind a mask of arrogance and indifference to get through courtly life. Yet, forced into a role he never wanted - Evander must quickly assume the role of monarchy to keep his kingdom safe. Will it be sink or swim for this young prince?
Trope: Forbidden Love. He shouldn't look at you, you are considered an enemy of the kingdom. He should order your death. So why is it, that when you look at him - his heart seems to stop beating?
Theodore/Theodora "Teddy" de Peyster. (he/him) or (she/her)
Teddy is the crown prince's sworn protector. Noble and steadfast, Teddy is everything the kingdom needs to survive. Born to the retired parent's of the King's guard, all Teddy's life has been is violence and warfare. Is it possible for this knight to rise to the challenge or will they fall on their sword?
Trope: Sworn off Love. The knight cannot afford any mistakes, no matter how small. They keep everyone at a distance, relationships lead to a mess and a mess is a big mistake. But when you smile - they feel a crack appear in their armor.
Maeryn Toussaint. (she/her)
Maeryn is a priestess, belonging to the Church of Estrellas. Frequently skittish and consistently pious, Maeryn has never set foot outside of her convent. That was until the rebellion, where her prophetic abilities could help turn the tide. Can she save the kingdom, or doom the world?
Trope: Love at First Sight. She has never had anyone look at her like she wasn't broken. It's gotten to the point where she believes it too. Yet, when your hand touches hers - she has never felt more put together.
Hartford Moss. (cis) or (non-binary)
Hartford is your best friend, or was at least. Long gone is the vibrant curiosity of childhood, the destruction of Hartford home leaves nothing but grief in their eyes and regret in their heart. Until they see you again. Will you stay together this time or will fate rip you apart?
Trope: Friends to Lovers. No one has ever seen every piece of them and understood them; their soul is bare, yet people look and don't see. However, you have seen them all of them and never looked away - it makes their head spin.

꒷꒦ NEON//BYTE ꒷꒦ • DEMO TBA [11k - 17/05/2025]
Choose from 3 origin stories that alter your knowledge and past associations with characters.
Customize your MC! Play as male, female, or non-binary; straight, gay, bi, and/or ace; cis or trans. Give yourself cybernetics, or stay natural. The choice is yours.
Decide your motivations. Is this a fight for survival, a revenge mission, or a way to 'stick it to the man'? Are you a reluctant vampire or eager to embrace the euphoria of a kill?
Develop your appetites. Young or old? Rich or poor? Human, witch…or vampire?
Pick a love interest from 6 potentials…or don't. Features 2 love triangle routes, 3 poly routes, and multiple casual flings.
Pick a BFF who'll be there for you in times of need.
And whatever you do: don't let them take you again.
Snatched up by a hunter on the day you were turned, you've known nothing of unlife but the torment of Facility 4.
Your first drops of blood suckled from a syringe, cold and clinical; the sweetness of unsterilized air stolen in panicked gasps in the starkness of the Sun Cells; the strangled curses of your cellmate, a slab of meat on a gurney with eyes of fire. For twenty long years, you've known nothing else. But when a shift in management takes place, you seize your opportunity and escape.
There's no place for vampires in the city in the sky. The Empire District, or Higher Manhattan, is a sprawling mass of chrome and excess. Platinum-plated necks are all the rage, and any attempt to separate the blue-blooded elite from their entourage amounts to a death sentence—even for an immortal.
No—Lower Manhattan is the safe haven for your kind, the city beneath the city.
Maybe you grew up there, know the streets and their secrets. Maybe it was nothing but a scary story told to you by your family's android butler. Whatever the case may be, you smuggle yourself onto a SkyRunner and descend into the Shadow Circuit, a district of perpetual shadows and rampant poverty.
You think you've escaped them.
You think you're free.
You are not.
Ramón (he/him), Your Cellmate (the rumours about him can’t be true, can they?)
Species: Vampire Traits: gentle, honourable, protective, vengeful, volatile Height: 6ft0 Appearance: Hispanic male. Light brown skin and deep red eyes. Natural ear-length dark hair with dyed dusty ash tones on top, swept-back style. Dark, thick eyebrows, straight nose, full lips, and a lobe and mid-helix piercing on his right ear. Thick but short canine fangs, incredibly sharp. Generally sticks to dark, classically edgy-style clothing.
Ry (he/him), Your Pursuer (he’s still mad at you about that thing)
Species: Human Traits: cynical, empathetic, guarded, impulsive, inquisitive Height: 6ft4 Appearance: Caucasian male. Fair skin and [REDACTED] eyes. Natural brown hair dyed light blond in a fauxhawk style. Sharp features obscured by his cybernetic jaw attachment and visor glasses; just the bottom part of his nose, lips, and partial cheek area remains uncovered. Almost always sporting a purple blazer, with a typical corporate shirt-and-pants combo made to suit his line of work, complete with dark combat gloves.
Dom (he/him), the King of the Streets (if information was free he’d be living on them)
Species: Vampire Traits: analytical, manipulative, patient, possessive, sensual Height: 5ft9 Appearance: East Asian male. Light skin and deep red eyes. Natural black hair styled in messy cheekbone-length curtain bangs. High bridge, pointed narrow nose, diamond face shape. Very light chinstrap stubble. Slightly pointed ears with a few lobe piercings. Narrow and sharp double fangs. Tattoos along his neck, back, chest, and limbs. Signature high-collar black synth-leather jacket with a necklace.
Emery (they/them), the Cargo-Slinger (you impressed them, but never do that again)
Species: Human Traits: intelligent, prickly, private, resourceful, soft-hearted Height: 5ft4 Appearance: Desi nonbinary person. Medium brown skin and eyes. Short sidecut, natural dark brown-to-purple ombré. Thick, dark eyebrows, large eyes, and rounded features. Lots of piercings including stretched ears, a septum ring, and a nose piercing. Tattoos on shaved side of scalp, neck, shoulders, upper arms, and back. Generally sports a nondescript grey poncho-style hooded raincoat.
Zoia (she/her), the Government’s Headache (you look like you might want to revolt—here, take a pamphlet)
Species: Vampire Traits: boisterous, direct, driven, fearless, organised Height: 5ft10 Appearance: Biracial Caucasian/African-American female. Medium-light black skin and solid bright red, faintly glowing irises, no pupils��cybernetically altered. Natural dark brown hair in a coily round afro. Slim, arched eyebrows, low bridge and wide nose. Full lips with dark glossy lipstick. Multiple piercings on the cartilage and lobe of her ears. Thick lateral incisor fangs almost double the length of her central incisors. Generally seen in her punk-style grey leather, short sleeved jacket with a fingerless cyber-glove on her right hand, long metallic nails, and detachable cybernetic neck fitting.
Aura (she/her), the NetWitch (my god, she hates it here)
Species: NetWitch Traits: funny, insecure, paranoid, philosophical, self-reliant Height: 5ft1 Appearance: Caucasian female. Rosy light skin and cybernetic glowing pink irises, faint, hazy white pupils. Natural brown hair dyed black and pink, styled into high, messy pigtails. Thin, dark eyebrows, long straight nose, and angular lips painted black. Pink tattoos along her ribcage, thigh, and back of neck. Heavily cybernetically enhanced, including all four limb replacements and major internal work. Signature outfit is her glossy latex deep pink ‘rave-style’ crop top and skirt/leggings.
Origin 1:
Your human life was a sheltered one of immense privilege. You have a knack for standing out, and will be very familiar with how the minds of the wealthy work, their schemes, their politics, and the Empire District in general.
Origin 2:
The ‘in between’. Traders, craftsmen, smugglers—and people who could afford to escape the Shadow Circuit. There’s still hope here, and your childhood reflected that. You’ll know the ins and outs of bartering, weaponry, and technology.
Origin 3:
Abject poverty. You had to scrape out a living however you could. The gangs of the streets were your family, and your ability to speak with them as one of their own reflects that. Growing up in harsh conditions has made you more resilient, and you’re really good at blending in.
Each origin features a playable origin chapter and flashbacks, unlocking multiple scenes to interact with specific Origin NPCs through the game.
THIS IS AN 18+ GAME!!!
Contains violence, sex, abuse, mature language—just utter depravity. Seriously. I'm pulling few punches.
The option for Open Door/Closed Door romance scenes will not censor the graphic sex and violence depicted in the rest of the game, only when it involves the MC. If you don't want to be exposed to extremely dark themes, this may not be the game for you.

PUBLIC UPDATE: The Festival of Eostre (END)
Hello hello! It's time to conclude the Festival and the childhood segment of the game!
PSA: This is NOT the same build that patreons got in April. This build features everything I've done for the current Patreon build so I will be listing all the new features and content below. There is an updatescript that will help fix bugs- BUT it's finicky with old saves. If you are having issues, you will have to start a brand new save. After that, there should no problems in the future (fingers crossed)
Play Update: Here
Update Word Count: 10k+
Final Word Count: 50k+
Story:
Meet up with your brothers and the Empress and prepare for the bonfire ceremony.
Meet you Eirik's gender selectable half-sibling, Daria or Darius
Meet ???
Witness the Festival
Changelog:
New theme added: Mother's Lavender
Added name suggestions in both adult and child customization
Player information Page:
This page will store most of the information on your character as they grow and change throughout the story.
Features: Physical descriptions, working personality stat bars, alignment stat bars, character stats sheet
Childhood segment of the game comes with its own mini stat page with physical descriptions. It gets overwritten after the time skip.
Armoury/Inventory:
The armoury is where all item, weapons and trinkets you've collected on your journey will be stored. Some items will increase your personal stats, which will help you to pass stat checks. You will be gaining items for the armoury in later updates.
Cast Page: I actually forgot about this one. But if its working, it's because it was from the early alpha. I will come back to it in the another update.
A few UI changes. The Player and Armoury as been added to the Footer of the interface for easy navigation.

DEMO UPDATE (ISH) ;
17th May 2025

Hello, hello, hello :)!
As I said I would, I've updated the demo with the new UI (using one of the templates by @/lapinlunaire-games) as well as A SMALL CONTENT UPDATE
It isn't much, but I wanted to show that I'm still working on TAG, even if slowly, so I've left in...around half of chapter 1 as well :)
anyway, some of it might still be a little buggy whilst i transfer things, so don't be afraid to make bug reports !
as always, find the demo:
here!
