UPDATE! (kinda)

Hello, dear.

I wanted to provide an update on my progress.

Currently, everything is about 80% ready for release. I just need to review my coding and paths to ensure smooth operation. I have made significant revisions to parts I was not satisfied with and am also preparing to launch a third IF project (my personal fav)

However, I am currently struggling emotionally and feeling drained.

I recently moved to a new place and now I'm going through a difficult time in my personal life. As a result, I am unable to dedicate myself to writing, coding, or any other tasks as I fear I may not meet my usual standards.

So, I wanted to explain why there has been a delay in updates and why I have been less active.

Rest assured, my IF projects are still works in progress, and I remain committed to them. I have a deep affection for my characters and the stories I am crafting along with all of my readers.

At the moment, my focus is on dealing with personal challenges, and I appreciate your understanding, patience, and support during this time.

I will need to take a necessary break for my well-being.

Take care, and thank you for following my work.

I look forward to reconnecting with you all soon.

Release Date for Chapter Three

It is finally here: the release date for Part 2 of Chapter 3. I am sorry that it took so long, but I am happy to announce that My Inner Sins will be updated on 2/18/2024. There were a lot of changes made that I think everyone will appreciate, including an actual save system and an updated stats profile for your character.

Boooooo 👻

I'm here 😈 I'm curious as to what it would be like to go on a Valentine's date with Amisha and Secret 💜 (poly route pls ✊😍)

Hello, kitty. 👻💜

You are quite persistent, aren't you?

I've already said no to poly for Secret. But since you're my favorite, I'll make an exception and give you this little treat.

As per request, Secret here will be the female variant.

Let's see.

~

It's early in the morning, and you're returning from your morning shower. As you dry your hair with a towel, you feel water droplets trickling down your neck. With your hand on the doorknob of your room, you pause before turning it as you hear a noise coming from inside. It's a conversation. No, it's a fight. Clearly, those two can never get along, and their early morning arguments have become a part of the routine.

You chuckle to yourself when you hear it.

"What are you doing? I already told you not to touch me!" Amisha barks.

"I didn't touch you because I wanted to. You stepped on my tail, so I had to push you away from me," Secret bites back.

"What kind of stupid creature even has a tail?"

"That's rich coming from the brute who literally turns into a tiger… WITH A TAIL!"

"Oh, you piece of…"

Okay, time to interfere. You turn the doorknob and enter. As soon as they see you, Amisha drops the candleholder she was about to throw at Secret, and Secret blows out the fireball she had just conjured.

"Good morning, ladies. I see we're all excited to spend Valentine's together, huh?" you ask, giving them both a knowing smirk.

Secret moves closer to Amisha, wrapping an arm around her shoulder as she growls in response to the physical contact.

"Oh, yes! Me and the kitty here were just talking about how much we enjoy each other's company, right?"

Amisha huffs and unfolds herself from Secret's embrace, walking towards you and grabbing both of your hands with her warm ones.

"Never mind the dumb half-lizard. I'm just happy you're here, and even more so to know that you set aside the whole day for me," Amisha says to you, her affection evident in her words and glowing orange eyes.

"Yes, for you. And for Secret too. You're both my girlfriends. And you both look wonderful today. Now, why don't you two take a break from your rivalry, just for today?" you reply, brushing a stray strand of hair away from her face and giving her a sweet kiss on the temple.

"Ugh, fine. I promise," Amisha says, raising her hand.

"Secret?" you ask, narrowing your eyes at her.

"Yes, my destiny?" she replies mischievously, blinking rapidly with her hands under her chin.

"Will you behave today?"

"I don't know what you're talking about. I always behave."

You shake your head, pointing at the black pillow that was set on fire a few weeks ago during one of the morning fights.

"Alright, ladies. Let's go. We have a wonderful day ahead of us," you offer your hands to both of them. Amisha grabs your left hand, and you hold out your right hand for Secret.

"I… I can't hold your hand like this. I might hurt you…" Secret looks at her own left arm, covered in scales, with big dark claws coming out where her nails should be.

You smile at her, grabbing her scaled hand and intertwining your fingers.

"No, you won't. Come on."

The three of you head out the door and manage to squeeze in all the activities you had planned for the day.

Amisha had organized a walk in the woods, a picnic, and some time to relax and watch the clear blue sky and peaceful white clouds.

Secret found some wild strawberries, and Amisha cooked a delicious sandwich with boar meat, wild herbs, and fresh bread from the kitchens.

You all took a refreshing dive into the waterfall and enjoyed the sunset from the top of a mountain, spending a lot of time stargazing.

The tent you brought turned out to be too small for three people to sleep in, but it didn't matter since you hadn't planned on sleeping that night.

The whole forest became the witness of your love for both Amisha and Secret.

Blood touched your lips.

One moment you were walking home, and the next you were waking up in a hospital room with a searing pain in your neck and an insatiable hunger lingering in your belly. The events of the previous night were a blurry and chaotic mess of fear, panic, and blood.

Your blood...

ONCE BITTEN is a dark romance interactive fiction game set in a vampire-infested 1990s New York City. Navigate the city as you try to regain your footing and find your place as a recently-turned vampire. Being a vampire isn't as glamorous as the stories make it out to be, especially when you have a group of Hunters that want you dead.

Content Warnings: suggestive themes, violence, gore, blood, body horror, drug use, death, animal cruelty, homophobia, and transphobia

* Note: Content warnings, with the option to disable them, will appear before each chapter.

Play as a customizable protagonist, with the ability to choose your name (including nicknames), gender, pronouns, and appearance.

Befriend a cast of characters and pursue one of five romance options.

Explore New York City and its vampiric nightlife as a newly-turned vampire. Experience what it truly means to be a creature of the night.

Adopt a dog, or don’t. Be warned, it will come back to bite you.

A focus on choices, rather than stats, that will alter your relationships with the cast as well as the narrative moving forward. Will you choose to embrace your new existence?

Dr. Joseph Levi (he/him)

A seemingly quiet, albeit quite sarcastic, professor at first glance, Dr. Joseph Levi is more than what meets the eye. In reality, he is a type of vampire hunter known as a Keeper—and he also happens to save your life and doom it too.

Vanya Kreisky (she/her)

Beautiful, cunning, and deceptive, Miss Vanya Kreisky is the queen of the Scarlet Palace, a historic hotel and casino nestled in the heart of Manhattan. She much older, and more powerful, than she first lets on, and seems to have an odd interest in you.

Rana Ayari (she/her)

Rana Ayari is the owner of Lilith's Lounge, a small bar near West Village. She's a welcoming face to strangers with an easy-going attitude. Unless you're stirring up trouble, you'll be welcome at Lilith's.

Addison Reyes (he/him | she/her)

Only turned about fifteen years ago, Addison is probably the youngest vampire you'll meet, and because of that, they have a sense of optimism and adventure many older vampires lack. They like to have fun and they'll share it with you—well, whenever they're not stuck working a shift at Lilith's, of course.

Dr. Michael "Ellie" Elliot (he/they)

Dr. Michael Elliot is a doctor working at the hospital you wake up in after being turned. They're quite zany, in a way you can't quite place, and it's obvious they've seen some things in their centuries long existence that they quite haven't processed yet.

DEMO COMING SOON!

[kingsdespair-if]

How I discovered this IF is when I was scrolling on Tumblr on my computer since I always have s habit of test play games to see it's up my alley.

And when I saw this I thought why not make my MC a flirt and now THIS HAPPENS. 😭😭😭

What inspire this project?????

Hello again, dear.

Thank you for sharing how you found my IF; it's always interesting for me to know. It's also funny to hear that you came to be the flirty one and ended up falling for the resident playboy hahaha

The whole story is actually an adaptation from a DnD campaign that I created to play with my friends, where I was the Dungeon Master. The ROs are NPCs from my DnD campaign with the same name (King's Despair), and most of the other important characters, like the human Prince and Horseshoe, are also NPCs from my campaign.

As for what inspired me to create the story… Well, A Song of Ice and Fire, Lord of the Rings, Dark Souls, Elden Ring, and The Witcher have all had a huge influence on me. They helped me design the universe of the IF.

Thank you for your interest and for your question. I hope this fulfills your curiosity.

And since you're such a huge Veldon fan, here's a pic of him that I made while fooling around one of these days.

[kingsdespair-if]

This is the first IF that has a playboy RO and i LIVE FOR IT

Hello, dear.

I'm happy to see that our beloved Veldon has gained another admirer hahaha Thank you for your interest, dear! I hope you enjoy the upcoming chapters, as there will be plenty of Veldon for you to enjoy.

[kingsdespair-if]

Progress update!

Hello, dears.

I wanted to give you all an update on my progress.

First of all, I apologize for not responding to the messages in my ask box. I will reply to them all very soon.

Thank you for your patience.

I also want to let you know that my IFs are not on hiatus. I am still working on them daily. Currently, I am working on three different projects: King's Despair, Shadow of Styria, and a new project that I will be announcing soon (it's almost ready).

That's the reason why my progress has been delayed, and I'm slower at posting relevant updates. But I'm still working on it.

So, rest assured that my work is not abandoned or on hiatus.

Thank you to everyone who enjoys my writing and continues to follow my stories and characters.

Happy holidays to all!

[kingsdespair-if]

AAAAAAAAAAA Thank you, Xai!

That's truly amazing. We all love a good rampaging Amisha! 🐯

Great art. 💜

Amisha from @kingsdespair-if 👀

What age is Laura and what age does Carmella look like ?

Hello, dear.

Laura is 22 years old, while Carmilla appears to be around 27, the age at which she was turned.

[kingsdespair-if]

I can't handle all this cuteness! ��

As always, I love the family you imagined with Secret and your OC and your amazing art.

Thank you once again!

Another fanart of a headcanon family from the interactive fiction @kingsdespair-if the family is of the RO Secret and my OC magnolia where I imagine they retire to a farm deep in the forest.

How would Kahild react to a partner who is a very act as a very good monarch when they are married or together?

Hello, dear.

Khalid would likely not marry someone who isn't a good leader and doesn't care for their people. This is the most important thing for him, even above himself.

If you choose to pursue the insufferable prince, keep in mind that he may love you with all his heart, but his priority will always be his people, especially those in need. Those who are starving and forgotten by his father and older siblings.

So, if his partner is a great monarch, Khalid will be head over heels. He might even stop being rude sooner than expected...

[kingsdespair-if]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

This is so beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing! I love them all.💜

@kingsdespair-if

I made this a while ago, I think this was one of my first pieces of fanart I made of this series but I just finished it and I need to post. So this is a movie poster if King's Despair was a movie.

[kingsdespair-if]

Can the ROs find other partners or have happy ending with other NPCs in the game? I want to see all my babies happy even if I am with Misha

Hello, dear.

That's such a sweet ask! Thank you for sending it.

Yes! However, they will not form couples with each other.

If you refuse Secret, they will not attempt to find another mate. Similarly, if your female MC rejects Amisha, she will not seek another partner.

But the remaining ROs will still seek out partners.

[kingsdespair-if]

hallo metadinha 🤭💜

Hello, babe. 💜

ROs Halloween candies and movies it is!

Amisha enjoys watching slasher movies while munching on a delicious toffee apple.

Veleena, on the other hand, prefers psychological horror movies and likes to have Sour Patch candies as her movie snack.

Khalid has a taste for cult movies and enjoys watching Midsommar while indulging in pumpkin pie.

Veldon has a soft spot for trash movies that are unintentionally funny. He likes to snack on Haribo Gummies while watching them.

Kaellë is a fan of supernatural horror and enjoys watching it with Mauthak. They like to share a bucket of sweet popcorn while watching.

Secret also enjoys a good slasher movie, especially the classics with lots of gore. Their snack of choice is jelly eyeballs.

~

Anna and Laura both enjoy supernatural horror movies. Laura prefers vampire movies, while Anna prefers werewolves and ghosts.

Anna loves peanut butter kisses, while Laura prefers chocolate chip cookies.

[kingsdespair-if]
