It’s definitely not 😅 I’ve been making games for 3 years, most of which are much longer than “Criminally Yours”.

You can check them all out for free in their entirety under my own page or my studio’s page. ⬇️

This VN is living rent free in my brain pleaseeeeee. I can't draw but I had to try a little at least so I could have a concrete idea of my Oracle's suit.

Nikolaos from #CriminallyYoursVN

I'm having so much fun drawing him hehehe<3

The game is absolutely amazing, please check it out here!

Hey guysss so Grey (my cocreative director/programmer for “Criminally Yours”) made their own Oracle the default name “Delphi”.

I loved their design sm that I adopted them as my own oc as well and our sprite artist was kind enough to draw her 🙈 we are so blessed, and we’ve never understood Nik more than we do now.

Oh great, another unhinged blond man for me to obsess over. Yes, I played "Criminally Yours", and yes, I am frothing at the mouth over Nik, this Kira-lookin' ass motherfucker...

(That voice... four times... mmmm...)

I installed some new krita brushes and figured this was as good an excuse as any to try them out. Not sure I like them for my normal art, but I think they suit CY's comic book aesthetic.

Expect more art of him. Ugh, now there's TWO of them..!

Choose your name and pronouns as well as make many flavorful choices to establish your role. And some eventual impactful ones...

Rectifier: In Bloom ✿ Masterpost (2/11/25)

Hi hi, I'm Joy! The founder, creative director, lead writer for Meant to Bee Studios and specifically its project: "Rectifier" and its completed side game "Rectifier: In Bloom". Play "Rectifier: In Bloom" for free in its entirety now - here, major relaunch coming June 1st! If you want to keep up to date with all things regarding this project I'd suggest following here on Tumblr, on our Itch.io page, and on Bluesky!

😇Play as an Angel of your choice!

Choose to be a predetermined visible character on screen, or invisible MC of your choice or self insert. There are a huge amount of sexuality specific options, specifically in regards to playing a character on the ace spectrum. Be as allosexual, asexual, or anywhere in between sexual as you'd like! These choices do NOT impede on romantic progression whatsoever. So kiss kiss fall in love in the way you'd like to!

🌷3 distinct personalities for the MC!

Red- Domineering, passionate, fiery! Also, Sassy? Green- Neutral, Intelligent, objective! Also, Clueless? Blue- Submissive, compassionate, and diplomatic! Also, Precious?

👁️Play each route at least 3 times for different dynamic!

Red allows you to be more forward, flirty, or harsh with your man of choice. You pull no punches, what you see is what you get. You can progress events and romance a bit quicker than your green and blue counterparts. Green often takes the wind out of your guy's sails, forcing them to speak more clearly with you. You also tend to pick up on more mannerisms and subtleties than your red and blue counterparts. Blue is able to bring out the best in everyone. Even the embodiment of the seven sins themselves. Your authenticity often melts the hearts of those around you causing them to be a tad more vulnerable with you than they would be your red and green counterparts.

🌻No bad choices!

Regardless what personality you choose, your man of choice will not be put off of it. His heart is yours for the taking regardless of who you decide to be. So play stress free, and see all options that are available!

Romance Seven Male Love Interests!

If you'd like to support this game and its development, head on over to Kofi where we are fundraising the relaunch now. We are about 60% of the way to our goal! Any donation over $5 USD will count as a preoder towards the relaunch when it goes commercial July 1st, 2025. Thank you in advance for your support!

The Spice is REAL ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 Nsfw CGs with sound & animation!

Our second release is Paper Masks, a spicy intriguing interactive fiction about scheming, lies and identity theft with limited sprites but a LOT of customization for the MC. You can also choose to pursue M!Max or F!Max.

We are now back to working on Cursed Covenant and hopefully release the final two chapters back to back in a few months & release the finished game on itch.io! So keep an eye out.

New Era, Same Mission

Fiction Factory Games is transitioning into a new era. --whoa, calm down, Good Era! Good. We'd have used scary black text on yellow if Bad Era.

Stefan Gagne (that's me, the one wearing most of the hats) has retired from his dayjob, to focus on disability self care -- but also game development.

The plan doesn't change. We'll continue doing free game releases for as long as we can.

And it's not about profit. It was never about profit. It's about the words on your screen, to speak and be heard. That doesn't change, either. We're in this for the love of the games alone.

If you want to help with our free game releases (got a new one in the works now) we have a Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fictionfactorygames

But only if you have the financial means. It's a tough world right now; your solvency comes first. We're plenty solvent and this simply helps boost our efforts.

Can't chip any cash? That's fine! Help spread the word of Arcade Spirits, Penny Larceny, and Shadow Over Cyberspace. Maybe join the Discord community: https://discord.gg/gaCcH2N

We've got good things on the horizon. And our inclusive, queer-friendly stories will continue no matter the Strange Aeon.
