DEMO - Latest release on 11/15/2024 - Current wordcount 90k.
COG forum - Side Stories You've always been angry.
Rage comes naturally to you. With how much life has messed with you it's only fair that you use your anger. That's why you became a boxer. The thrill of breaking an opponent. And hoping they might break you in turn. They never do though. Every fight is a disappointment, almost as much of a disappointment as they pay for each fight.
Enter Jackie Roth, club owner, mob boss, and former god. When she offers you a job you can't say no. Not that you would, not when she and everyone in her gang feel so familiar to you. At least with this job you'll be able to use that rage inside you more.
As you learn the ways of the criminal underground you reconnect with people you never met. Reforge bonds that you've never made. And recall memories you've never had. You were a god once upon a time, can you become one again?
God Syndicate is an interactive novel where you play the newest incarnation of Ares, The God of War. It's 18+ for violence, explicit sexual themes, drug use, morally questionable behavior, and more.
Customize your MC, play male, female, or nonbinary. With transgender options and pronoun selection. Customize your appearance and develop your personality.
Romance or befriend a cast of characters, including gods with more issues than you can count or even a mortal! Asexual and Aromantic options available.
Show the gods why you were feared all those years ago or prove that you're better than your past lives.
Uncover the mystery of disappearing gods as well as the mystery of your past.
Help out Elysium, the club where you'll practically live from now on. It seems to attract gods and that isn't always good.
Take out your anger on people who might even deserve it.
Zeus: Jackie Roth - She/Her. [Not an RO]
Jackie is The King of The Gods and she makes sure everyone knows it. Her word is law in Elysium and beyond. Fail her and you'll have a storm waiting for you. In the years since your disappearance Jackie's love for her family has seem to only grow. But she has a criminal empire to run and you're just the weapon she needs.
Hermes: Riley Liao Zhi - Gender Selectable. [RO]
The Messenger of The Gods. Or in Riley's case, the ever bored personal assistant to Jackie. Riley's an adrenaline junkie with a heart of gold. As the one who found you they feel almost responsible for you. But why do they also seem so afraid of you?
Apollo: Franco Valerio - He/Him. [RO]
As expected of The God of Music, Franco's your classic rich and famous rock star. Well he would be, if only he could get out of Elysium. His love of singing and love of his family are two chains he can't break that tie him here. Will your arrival help break those chains or tighten them?
Aphrodite: Damiana "Dame" Rivette - Gender Selectable. [RO]
Quiet and Serious, Dame is no longer The God of Love they once were. The passion of their life faded and now bitterness grows where love should. The only friend they have in Elysium seems to be their fiance, Johnny. To make their life even worse, you arrive.
The Mortal: Sigourney Hawthorn - She/Her. [RO]
Newly divorced from a god, Sigrouney struggles with juggling her (demigod) child, relentless job, and love life. As her daughter, Claudia, grows she wonders if she can keep up or if she'll be left behind. And now with your arrival Claudia's godly family gets bigger and her presence gets smaller.
Artemis: Rebel Reyes - Gender Selectable [RO]
How can The God of the Hunt thrive in the city? The prey here are either too weak or too annoying to hunt. The only thing Rebel craves is to feel that thrill again. With your arrival they have a perfect chance, who better to hunt than the God of War? They can't wait to meet you.

A friend from a better time. Harper and you were once inseparable. They saw you at your darkest and kept you calm. Years after an explosive break up they've reemerged into your life far different than you knew them. Can you find the dying embers of your old friend? Is it even worth the pain?

SIP THE GOSSIP! is a slice of life IF rated 18+ for explicit language, skippable sexual content, substance abuse, extra marital affairs and more. Best to be avoided if romance, drama and angst are not your cup of tea.
✭ DEMO (TBA) ✭ FORUM (TBA)
You have had everything in the palm your hand since birth. Success kissed your feet, the billboards sang of your symphony and the public chanted your name.
Until they didn't.
After years of a blockbuster after a blockbuster— ignoring the fact they were all your uncle's productions— you found yourself tangled up in allegations that left your reputation in shambles.
You lost thousands of followers across all your social media accounts, all your endorsement deals and the industry turned it's back on you.
But you persisted. After things were resolved, you tried getting back on your feet. Starred in movies that had no connection to your dearest uncle.
But here's the thing : they all flopped. Badly, at that.
And you found yourself, once again, at the rock bottom. After some time of having disappeared from the public eye you have decided to make a comeback and do what you were always good at— use your connections to gain a spot in the upcoming romantic drama TO THE MOON AND BACK.
You will do anything to get your stardom back even if it means getting your pretty hands a little dirty.
✭ Play as male, female or non binary. Straight or queer. Customise your brand and appearance.
✭ Choose the article that destroyed the reputation you spent years building.
✭ Engage in a scandalous & fiery romance off and on set!
✭ Use whatever means you can to avoid being teared to shreds on the internet.
✭ It's been long since you have acted. You haven't forgotten how to bring those tear ducts to use, have you?
✭ Give interviews. Because isn't that what the blizz and bling all about baby?
✭ Engage with your fans. If they still haven't forgotten about you, that is.
✭ Escape or annoy the unrelenting paparazzi.
✭ Customise your public persona. Do things that transpire behind cameras differ from on camera?
✭ Choose the plot of T2MAB.
✭ THE BODYGUARD : Kai D'melio. [he/him or she/her]
Single and in early 30s. Stoic and all business. It's hard to get a read of them. They are a constant in your life.
Tropes : Bodyguard romance, extremely slow burn, quiet yearning from distance, "crush" route, steel armour— soft core.
✭ THE VETERAN ACTOR : Shiron "Shay" Hill. [he/him or she/her]
Married and in mid 40s, they continue to be a social media sensation to till this day. A friend of you and your uncle. They are the one who introduced you to the director and producer of To The Moon And Back and helped you score the lead role.
Tropes : Extra marital affair, steamy, age gap, forbidden romance, "married in name only," wedding band that feels like a chain and accidental touches that burn.
✭ THE DIRECTOR/PRODUCER : Victor/ia "Vic" Alvarez. [he/him or she/her]
Single, former actor and in mid 40s. An incredibly close friend of Shiron. They have been attached at the hip since the two first began working together in the industry. All their works have proved to be the public's favourites and you hope that is also the case with T2MAB.
Tropes : Work romance, steamy, commitment issues, power imbalance, age gap, says "We can't do this," and does it anyway.
✭ THE M/F LEAD : Alexis "Alex" Sinclair. [he/him or she/her]
Co-actor and in late 20s. Charming and titled 'Industry's Budding Star' by People's Magazine. They seem to have a tendency to flirt with whatever that breathes. It would serve you best to not get involved with them, judging from their messy dating history.
Tropes : idiots in love, hurt/comfort, emotional intimacy, himbo/bimbo, friends/co-workers with benefits, "I will break your heart or, will you break mine?"
✭ THE SECOND M/F LEAD : River Fox. [he/him or she/her]
Co-actor, singer and in late 20s. After having caught their now ex partner cheating on them, they seem to have a hard time trusting people. The fact that they dislike you for the means you used to get the role and the consequences it led to, doesn't help either.
Tropes : Slow burn, enemies-to-lovers, melting the ice king/queen, forced proximity, kind guy/gal who's mean to only you. "Your hurt recognises mine," in some instances.
✭ THE CAMERA(WO)MAN : Arlo Kent. [he/him or she/her]
Single loyal to you and in their early 20s. They get all starry eyed and overly enthusiastic at the sight of you. More often than not, you have caught them not so discreetly keeping an eye you. You can only hope they are merely star struck and nothing more.
Tropes : Stalker/yandere fluffy romance. "I have always been watching," that somehow turns romantic. "You'll love me eventually," kinda horror romance.

The vast stretches of lone trees and wild grass of the rural countryside lures the ego overboard, pulling consciousness off course into addiction, delusion and seduction’s disintegrating madness. You barely pull yourself home from there every evening, the sun telling your time, the birds your weather forecast. One day you might not return home at all.
From the Mud is a Midwest gothic inspired horror romance set in a solitary countryside occupied only by two small towns and stretches of untamed nature. You play a troubled cowboy/girl/puncher who‘s ground deep into a maddening, repetitive routine that a string of deaths suddenly upends. The sheriff of the neighboring town along with a driven journalist and an old friend whose bridge you’ve long since burnt comes to town having heard the news. As you’re hunting for the culprit and running from yourself, your quiet life on the ranch is disturbed, forcing you to keep your cards close and choose your company carefully. But the most pressing matter proves to be whether you can trust your own mind.

Demo! | pinterest | forum thread
Advisory for the story so far: death, gore, profanity, substances
Basics about some of the important RO characters and other below
The Sheriff ☆ Zachariah “Zach” Mallory ☆ a man in his mid thirties
Sheriff Mallory works from his office in Two Rocks, and though his occupation means working closely with other people and seeing to their needs, it would be indolent to describe him as being good with people. At all. Being abrasive and ill-natured, the man does, however, suit the role of authority well. When the angry crease on his forehead soften, you might find there is something else within his tired eyes.
The sheriff has dark brown, chin-length hair and a matching little effort short beard. His sand-colored skin is sun-kissed from being outside, the circles under his eyes almost a purple kind of shade. Under a heavy set of brows sits a pair of dark blue, almost stormy gray eyes. Standing at an imposing height, Mallory is nigh refused anything, and can’t be forced to wear the ugly uniform his rank requires. Instead, he sports a simple white fitted t-shirt and a pair of well-loved denim jeans.
The Journalist ☆ Candy Tillman ☆ a woman in her early thirties
Working for the local news station in Two Rocks, Ms. Tillman has through work experience and excellent mentoring from her predessessor become a hound chasing stories and truths. She is both idealistic and romanticizing (that which shouldn’t), and yet entirely unsusceptable to bullshit. When her facade falters who will accept her then?
The woman with the sweetest name has blonde hair that falls to the middle of her shoulder blades, which she loves to blowout. Her tan skin is contoured by a natural style of makeup, her small, light blue eyes painted. Candy is average height, reaching taller stature with her go-to minimalist pumps. The journalist prefers simple, feminine silhouttes of clothing, keeping up with the times.
The Best Friend ☆ Blythe Abel Goodwin ☆ a woman in her mid twenties
Blythe is your best friend who you grew up with in Ashley and who stuck around when everyone left, though you know she would’ve loved to leave just as much as you once did. In response to the death of her dreams and the narrow-minded opinions of the general inhabitation of the area, she has defiantly become a person of unique and unpredictable character. You’ve known each other through thick and thin, but is there a side to her yet to be discovered?
Your childhood friend is a contrast-filled woman just under average height. Long, black, cascading hair falls from her head down to her mid-back. Choppily home-cut bangs frame her small face. Her fair skin turns rosy in the cold. Blythe’s almond eyes that are sometimes obscured by a pair of reading glasses, are hazel. She wears whatever the fuck she wants.
The Colleague ☆ Ford Wiley Mallory ☆ a man in his early twenties
Ford Wiley is the younger half-brother of Sheriff Mallory and your colleague on the ranch. Working there only half-time, the younger Mallory is dedicated and driven only in the field of his passion; music. His band has only ever played at the local bar, though. Reserved and perhaps somewhat more thin-skinned than most living out on the countryside, Wiley makes do with refreshing optimism. Whether this optimism is genuine or fabricated is yet to be revealed.
Your part-time cowboy coworker has long, wavy brown hair that he sometimes makes an effort to style, and otherwise lets it live its own life. He and his half-brother have little in common, appearance included; Wiley has olive skin covered in freckles. His eyes are dark brown, and he is of average height. The musician’s clothes consist of unwanted (by himself) hand-me-downs from Zachariah and ill-gotten items.
The Old Friend ☆ Sawyer “Saw” Brennan ☆ a gender selectable person in their late twenties (m/f)
You grew up with Sawyer along with Blythe, and the three of you braved your childhood and youth in this godforsaken place for years. But they left when things got hardest, and you haven’t been able to get past it even after all these years. Over the years Sawyer has been away they’ve grown into a person you barely know anymore, and you struggle with their sudden return. Will you be able to understand and forgive them for leaving?
Sawyer has inky brown curly hair, worn long (f) or short (m) and loose, carefully taken care of and styled. They have warm brown skin and sharp eyes to match. Your old friend is tall, fitting their frame into oversized graphic t-shirts and either color matched sweats or baggy jeans.
My intentions with this game: It is not supposed to be a beautiful story, it is supposed to be ugly. Writing this game in the way I am is my taking a step away from perfection and seeing where my unpolished writing takes the story. I have been ruled by fear of inadequacy and a desire for ‘perfect timing’ long enough. If I continue to wait for the ‘right moment’ to create, I will end up not creating at all. My only desire now is to simply create, and continue doing so until I have something to show for it.
Story is written and coded by me

DEMO (128K) SOUNDTRACK PINTEREST BLUESKY Chapter 1 Release Date: 14th Mar 2025
All the leaves are brown, and the sky is grey.
18+ This interactive story includes graphic violence, sexual content, alcohol and drug use, profanity and more.
Disclaimer Gender and race-locked IF due to discussions of gender and racial politics throughout.
Take centre stage as a former-rockstar turned actress navigating your new career and the chilling grip of fan-obsession. Your once-famous band may be nothing short of a ghost of the past to you, but the rest of the world cannot seem to let go. The split in 1968 was scandalous, abrupt and mysterious. And although you’ve thrown yourself into acting and secured your first major role with a big time Hollywood director, whispers of blame have been on your tail ever since.
While most of Hollywood sees these rumours for what they are--empty gossip--a darker current takes precedence and poses a much more sinister threat to your life and the lives of those around you.
✼ Shape and mould into your truest ‘70s self. Perhaps you’re a mod-girl or a hippie? ✼ Interact with '60s and '70s icons on the Sunset Strip. ✼ Help uncover the identity of the 'Ampersand Killer' terrorising the West Coast. ✼ Decide which career path is more fitting for you. Are you made to live on the silver screen or stadium stages? ✼ Maintain and better your physical health and self-defence skills. ✼ Pick from a selection of love interests (including two gender-choice options). ✼ Includes an array of potential flings. ✼ A catalogue of original songs for fictional musicians.
Vincent "Vince" Buscemi, the ex-bandmate ⇢ You were part of one of the most renowned bands of the '60s together. Vince is a jaded soul, harbouring deep-seated reservations about many people--most notably the band's keyboardist--but he has always had a soft spot for you. Despite his guarded demeanour, he exudes effortless charm and impeccable manners, a testament to his healthy upbringing. Though widely celebrated as a pop-culture heartthrob, Vince defies superficial stereotypes. His truest passion lies in music, and it's clear that nothing in the world brings him greater joy.
Penn Hausler, the filmmaker ⇢ Though still considered an up-and-coming filmmaker, Penn has already made a name for himself as a creative force in the industry, thanks to his latest hit starring Faye Dunaway. He radiates charisma, with a shining personality and a sharp sense of humour. He's unmistakably a nerd--passionately devoted to his craft. He's also prone to being a bit of a square, often finding himself tangled in bouts of nervous awkwardness. Despite this, his unwavering commitment to his vision sets him apart, and he's not afraid to take bold creative risks. Case in point: he has cast you as a supporting actress in his next film.
Kai/Kaya Anahareo (m/f), the folksinger ⇢ Although they haven't yet broken into the mainstream, K is a highly skilled musician deeply respected by their peers. Their artistry intertwines seamlessly with their role as a political activist, with much of their protest powerfully conveyed through their music. K is the embodiment of levelheadedness, exuding an aura of calm and balance that draws people to them. Their presence is steady and reassuring, much like the songs they sing--thoughtful, impactful and unwavering.
Dorinda Fisher, the journalist ⇢ Dorinda is a sharp, driven and fiercely dedicated journalist. Relentless in her pursuit of a story or a hard-to-find answer, she doesn't back down easily. Hailing from a small town, she's well-read and possesses a no-nonsense approach to life. You first crossed paths through your bandmate, whom she dated earlier in your career. During the US leg of your tour, she joined the band on the road while freelancing, documenting the whirlwind of your band's journey during a fair few defining months in your rise to fame.
Please note: You will have the option to decide whether the two of you had a romantic connection in the past while you were on the road. If you choose not to follow through with this backstory, you can still romance her as a new connection.
Phillip/Phyllis Wright (m/f), the movie star ⇢ P is a Hollywood icon, a name already as timeless and celebrated as the likes of both Hepburns, Cary Grant and Sidney Poitier. An Academy Award-winning actor, they embody the pinnacle of cinematic stardom, capturing Penn's admiration and dream of collaboration. Known for their charm, striking good looks and effortless sophistication, P commands every room they enter.
Lesley Nielsen, the detective ⇢ Detective Inspector Nielsen is a man married to his work. His guarded and disciplined demeanour can often make him seem laborious, but beneath the tough exterior lies a dry wit and the ability to crack a well-timed joke. A strikingly handsome gentleman, he's adept with a handgun and keeps one at his side at all times. A seasoned veteran of the force, Nielsen only crosses paths with you once he's assigned as the lead detective on the high-profile Ampersand Killer case. Whether you share much in common is up in the air, but one thing is certain: your mutual determination to bring a cold-blooded murderer to justice.

Welcome to the Official Dev Blog for:
★ Throne of Blood and Roses ★
Link:TBA
“You weren’t meant to be here…but now I can’t imagine any of this without you.”
Wassup yall! I wanted to introduce myself and say thank you for checking out my little pet project. I’m a new interactive fiction writer, and this blog is where I’ll be sharing the process of writing my first IF game: Throne of Blood and Roses. It took a lot of courage for me to do this and show the world something I created. So if you love complicated royals, class tension, slow-burn romance, reality TV drama, and a bit of blood I welcome you home.
★Summery ★
You are a nobody.
A commoner with no fame, no title, barely enough money to your name, and no place among the elite.
So when the royal heir of Eden refused their arranged match to Cain/Delilah/judas Vale a powerful noble born in Eden to rule beside them the kingdom’s fragile court began to crumble.
In a desperate attempt to restore order, King Aldric invoked an ancient law:
“When the heir’s heart falters, the will of Eden shall decide, the Selection Trials shall now commence!”
The Selection Trials is for nobles of other families, celebrities, and high ranking military personnel just those who bleed 24k gold.
Ten elite contestants were invited to compete for the heir’s hand in marriage a televised spectacle of romance, performance, and a little bit of blood.
Then, against all expectation, they chose you. A name no one knew. In a place no one believed you belonged.
No one knows why you was called.
The nobles hate you for it.
The rival wants you erased.
And the heir?
They can’t take their eyes off you.
★ Features ★
• Play as male, female, or nonbinary
• Shape your MC’s identity, appearance, and then do the same for the royal heir whose heart you might win…or break.
• Romance the customizable royal heir or one of four other contestants!
• Survive elimination challenges, scandals, and sabotage
• Choose between love or power
• There’s a Yandere option for a much darker path for this dark love struck heir. (Psst….hey buddy you didn’t hear this from me but you can turn it on at the beginning of the story but you didn’t hear that from me)
• Multiple endings based on trust, ambition, and how far you’ll go
★meet the characters ★
You — The Nobody
“I’m no one. But if I make it to the end, they’ll never forget me.”
Age: 23 | Identity & Appearance: Fully Customizable
Status: Commoner
You’re not powerful, not royal, not wealthy. You’ve worked too many late shifts and been ignored too many times to believe in fairy tales. But now you’re a contender in a deadly game of beauty and blood. You’re the commoner in a den of lions can you survive?
⸻
The Heir of Eden — The Crowned Flame
“They dressed me in gold and told me to smile. But I only feel real when I’m with you.”
Age: 23 | Gender & Appearance: Customizable
Status: Royalty
ROMANCEABLE? Yes (Main RO)
The kingdom watches their every step. Perfect posture. Perfect smile. A perfect lie. The Heir rejected a noble match and set the Trials into motion. In private, their guard slips. And when their eyes linger on you, it’s not for politics.
⸻
Yandere Mode (Optional)
“You don’t understand, I’d burn this entire kingdom for you.”
When enabled, the Heir’s love becomes dangerous. They watch you too closely. Need you too deeply. And if the world tries to take you away—they’ll tear it apart, piece by piece. Their obsession is quiet. Until it isn’t.
⸻
Cain (male)/ Delilah (female)/ Judas (nonbinary) Vale — The Obsessed Rival
“You flickered into their world like a spark. Beautiful. Brief. But I’ll be the one to snuff you out.”
Age: 23 | Gender: player's choice
Appearance: Pale skin, sleek onyx hair, frozen blue eyes, perfectly controlled posture
Status: Noble
ROMANCEABLE? No
They were supposed to be the one. Groomed since birth to stand beside the Heir, Cain/Delilah’s rejection shattered their image—and their pride. They smile like royalty and speak like venom. Your presence is an insult they won’t forget.
⸻
Elias / Elara Kane — The Stoic Blade
“I was taught to protect power. You make me want to protect something else.”
Age: 26 | Gender: Selectable
Appearance: Deep brown skin, strong frame, close-cropped or braided hair, unreadable eyes
Status: Noble Guard
ROMANCEABLE? Yes
A soldier at heart, Elias/Elara didn’t come to win a crown. They came because they were ordered to. Quiet, loyal, and focused—until you break their routine. Then the stillness becomes something far more dangerous: care.
⸻
Phoenix “Nix” Vega — The Wild Spark
“You’re trouble. The kind I like to keep around.”
Age: 25 | Pronouns: They/Them
Appearance: Sun-bronzed skin, bright green eyes, wild red-black curls, piercings and a sharp grin
Status: Celebrity
ROMANCEABLE? Yes
They live for the spotlight—and the chaos just behind it. Nix walks into every room like they own it, flirt with danger, and laugh like they’ve never been hurt. They came for attention. But something about you holds it.
⸻
Vivian / Vincent Sinclair — The Mastermind
“I don’t gamble. But I’d be willing to bet on you.”
Age: 24 | Gender: Selectable
Appearance: Pale, platinum-blond hair, silver-gray eyes, tailored style and colder smiles
Status: Political Elite
ROMANCEABLE? Yes
Sinclair always plays the long game. Everything they do has purpose—especially when they let you in. They don’t fall easily. But once you have their attention, they won’t let go.
⸻
Alexis — The Heir’s Constant
“They need someone who won’t lie to them. If that’s not you, walk away now.”
Age: 24 | Gender: Same as the Heir
Appearance: Olive-toned skin, soft dark eyes, pulled-back waves or curls, simple but elegant fashion
Status: Noble | Royal Confidant
ROMANCEABLE? No
Alexis has known the Heir longer than anyone. Loyal but not blind, affectionate but guarded—they care deeply. All they want is what’s best for the person behind the crown. If you’re that person, they’ll protect you too. If you’re not? They’ll make sure you don’t stay.
⸻
Queen Lysandra Castellan — The Velvet Flame
“The Trials is just a stage. Let’s see what you look like when the light hits you.”
Age: Early 40s
Appearance: Same skin tone as the Heir, hazel eyes, chestnut-brown hair pinned in golden filigree
Status: Queen
ROMANCEABLE? No
Elegant, sharp, and politically lethal. Lysandra rules with silk and steel. She knows her child’s heart better than most—but she also knows the court won’t spare it. She watches you closely. She may see more in you than you expect.
⸻
King Aldric Castellan — The Iron Crown
“Eden was not built on kindness. It will not be saved by it either.”
Age: Mid-40s
Appearance: Dark brown skin, steel-gray eyes, silver-streaked black hair, posture that never wavers
Status: King
ROMANCEABLE? No
A man forged in war and ruled by legacy. The Trials are his creation—a move to hold the kingdom together, not unite lovers. He speaks little, but when he does, people listen. If you earn his respect, you’ll change history. If you don’t… you’ll be forgotten.
⸻
Selene — The Quiet Strength
“If the palace changes you, make sure you’re still someone I can be proud of.”
Age: Late 40s
Appearance: Same skin tone as MC, thick silver-streaked curls, tired hands and a steady gaze
Status: Commoner
ROMANCEABLE? No
Selene has never asked for much—just that her children survive. She’s seen how the world devours people who dare to hope. Her love is firm, her words plain, and her worry never hidden.
⸻
Mira — The Firebrand Sister
“If they hurt you, I swear I’ll burn the castle down myself.”
Age: 16
Appearance: Same skin tone as MC, dark expressive eyes, long hair in a messy bun, combat boots and rebellion
Status: Commoner
ROMANCEABLE? No
Too young for the Trials. Too smart to trust them. Mira is your shadow and your spark—loud, loyal, and always ready to fight for you. Even when you’re the one making it hardest.

PLAY THE DEMO (TBA)
Nothing could quite match the thick tension of a young, emotionally detached adult stuck in the same space as their equally distant and emotionally disturbed family…well, maybe everything except a mysterious illness outbreak.
As the virus begins to spread like wildfire, suddenly faced with unimaginable grief and loss, forced to kiss all sense of normalcy goodbye.
With life as you knew it falling apart and danger lurking around every corner, pushed to confront the same past you tried to escape. Reconcile with your estranged family, band together with an unlikely group of survivors, and learn how to navigate through the end of the world as you know it.
content warning: Intended for mature audiences rated 18+. Contains strong language, sexual themes, drug and alcohol use, graphic violence, body horror, mental health struggles, references to assault, and both physical and emotional abuse, depictions of sexual content and other potentially triggering material.
what will remain?
Dragged along to some boring town in the middle of Midwest butt-fuck nowhere in the middle of your college semester. Being ripped away from the big city life, your college friends, even what was left of your father's lasting physical memory—all because your mom fell head over heels with some new guy who made her feel like the best thing to do was move on and start over.
She promised your brother and you that it was all supposed to be a fresh, blank chapter. Promises of having a new job, making a few new friends, and a whole new start—things being presented on a perfect silver platter. It sure is a shame that none of those promises will be fulfilled.
What starts as a weird news report on the news about some virus sweeping the nation spreads into full-blown chaos. A bloody cough. A sudden scream. A neighbor turning into a feral, flesh-eating monster before your eyes.
The world begins to fall apart faster than you can process it. One moment you’re rolling your eyes at your mom’s hopefulness, and the next you're hopelessly fending for your life.
Suddenly, you’re no longer just the new city-slumming family in town. It’s all on you to protect your family members, navigate around a collapsing world, and figure out who you can trust when everything feels like it’s rotting from the inside out. The days of peace are gone, and in the end, the question isn’t just whether you will survive…but what kind of person will remain of you.
STORY FEATURES.
Choose your survivor's name, pronouns, sexual identity, appearance, survival style, and more.
Form stronger or ruin the current and new relationships that you have, with the choices you make throughout the story effecting your survival experiences and significant plot changes.
Figure out just how far you're willing to go when it comes to the safety of your family and those that you consider your allies.
Customize your favorite melee or ranged weapon of choice.
Choose whether to form platonic or romantic bonds with other survivors.
Engage or escape, loot or shoot. Learn which fighting style truly fits your character.
Decide who you should indulge your trust in: family, friends, or the government.
ROMANCE OPTIONS.
Along the way, experience unique character routes depending on your section of RO's. The possible romance options being:
.ᐣ Callan ( M ) — The Realist … Cal is known for his blunt, sharp-tongued, and annoyingly impossible demeanor. He’s the type of guy who somehow managed to make his presence known without actually needing to raise his voice. He’s not the type to sugarcoat or give pep talks. Just the facts, the plan, and the quickest route to survival. Efficiency is his guilty pleasure, and anything outside of that tends to get side-eyed into the dirt. Hardwired to prioritize logic over feelings, he clashes easily with anyone who moves on impulse or emotion, especially in high-stakes situations. His version of loyalty is heavily armored but earned through grit. Trust isn’t freely given, and it’s even harder to earn back once it’s lost. His past is a landmine of choices he doesn't speak about—and likely never will. Still, under the right conditions, his sarcasm cuts through the tension like a blade, delivered so dry it could start a drought. He might never call himself a hero, but when it counts, he’s the one keeping the group from completely falling apart.
.ᐣ Ezra/Eliza ( M/F ) — The Sparkplug … All bright eyes, fast hands, and a running commentary that never quite turns off. Their curiosity is relentless, their energy infectious (or exhausting, depending on who you ask), and their pockets are always filled with scribbled notes, a cassette player, or that dusty camcorder they use to “document something real quick". They’re the type who lights up when talking about random stuff, old tech software, hero comics, or why the government is secretly terrifying. Most people tune them out before realizing they actually know their shit. And they do. They just don’t always know when to shut up about it. Born into a warm, affectionate home, they carry that love on their sleeve. With impulsive touches, shoulder nudges, and zero understanding of personal space. Beneath the corny puns and awkward cadence is someone afraid of being dismissed but still unwilling to back down when it counts. They’re not the strongest, or the fastest…or even the bravest, just someone trying. And sometimes, that’s all that matters.
.ᐣ Saint ( M/F ) — The Live Wire … There’s something about them that just feels… off. Not in a dangerous way (maybe a little), but in that “why are you smirking right now?” kind of way. They talk like they’re halfway into a dare and halfway into calling your bluff. And the worst part? They’re usually right. They have this unnerving ability to pick things apart: small details, route patterns, people’s behaviors. The twitch in your voice, even the flick of your eyes when you lie. They clock it all. They won’t mention it until it matters or until they’re bored and want to watch you squirm. While most spiral under pressure, they just power down. Their emotions don’t flare, they simply just flatline. But don’t mistake the quiet for calm. Confrontation is their second language. Their humor? Sharp, inappropriate, timed just wrong enough to kill a room. But some people laugh anyway. Maybe it’s honesty. Maybe it’s chaos. Or maybe that’s just how they know how to truly connect with someone.
.ᐣ Raymond ( M ) — The Quiet Heart … Ray’s not the kind of guy who takes up space when he enters a room, he’s the kind who fills the cracks. The one handing out dad jokes like candy, patching up moods with lighthearted banter before people realize they needed it. Humor isn’t just a shield for Ray, it’s a bridge. A way to keep things moving when standing still feels too close to falling apart. There’s a quiet strength in how he exists: always listening, always helping, always moving. He’s at his best when his hands are busy. Always hauling supplies, fixing busted gear, anything to avoid thinking too hard. When the past sneaks in, it shows. He zones out. Shuts down. Then he tries again. He’s not loud or commanding, and that makes people underestimate him, until they see how steadily he shows up when it matters. He doesn’t need to lead or save the day. He just wants to help. To ease someone’s burden. Ray’s not trying to be a hero, just not helpless again.
.ᐣ Zoey ( F ) — The Reluctant Medic … Zoey wasn’t supposed to be anyone’s lifeline. She’s only a pharmacy tech because her family owns the place, and her “expertise” comes from memorizing pill names and dosage charts well enough to keep the old folks’ bottles full. No real education, just enough to stay employed. She doesn’t look useful in a crisis: quiet, twitchy, and standoffish by default, but dangerously impulsive when it counts. Raised in a strict religious household with more siblings than boundaries, Zoey never fit the mold. The town treats her like a recovering addict. She barely talks about her family, when she does, it’s clipped, like she’s pulling words from a wound. Most see a snappy girl who flinches when you’re too close and doesn’t trust easily. They don’t see how hard she works to stay upright. Or how loudly she hates herself, second only to her parents. But when someone’s bleeding or breaking, Zoey’s there. Shaky hands. Quiet prayers. Trying, always. Even if she doesn’t believe she’s worth saving.

Make your way across the continent towards the capital with unconventional companions, build relationships, battle foes and even find love while trying to accomplish your mission. Will you fulfil the terms of your contract or fall short in your paid search for justice?
Why were you chosen to be an assassin? Why did you succeed in your training while others failed? Is this all you are destined for?
Will the questions that keep you up at night be answered on your journey?
. Play as male, female, nonbinary or trans – with options to be gay, straight, bi or asexual.
. Develop relationships with 5 potential love interests.

PLAY THE DEMO HERE (30k)
You are an independent trainee trying to survive through a big company's new survival show, Telltale Academy, but things take a dark turn when a mysterious site called GUMIHOCOM, starts leaking the contestants dark secrets, getting them kicked out one by one. They couldn't possibly know what you've done, right?
There is no way they could publish something like that.
You can't know for sure, can you ? The threat claws over your nape. To save yourself and your debut, you have to find out who is behind GUMIHOCOM, or at least get them to leak your fellow contestants secrets before yours !
ᡣ𐭩 Play as female or AFAB non-binary.
ᡣ𐭩 Romance and investigate your fellow contestants.
ᡣ𐭩 Manipulate situations for screen time and popularity.
ᡣ𐭩 Pick songs and concepts for your stage performances.
ᡣ𐭩 Engage in ships and fanservice.
ᡣ𐭩 Sabotage your rivals and bribe staff.
ᡣ𐭩 Choose your skills, strengths and weaknesses as an idol.
ᡣ𐭩 Bite down the memory of that night…..
NYLA SARATHKUMAR (F,21) [ RO ] Daughter of the cyber-security CEO, Nyla is the only contestant that seems chill with potentially being exposed online. Wether she's a wolf in sheep's or a lucky go-lucky goofball, being close to her means safety. And it doesn't hurt that she's just so sweet. Will your affection for her get in the way of your need for survival?
NOH DAMBI (F,21) [ RO ] A lost it-girl, Dambi is an ex-member of a famous girl group who got kicked out for bullying accusations that have since then been " disproven ". Now she turns back to the spotlight for her major comeback, but nobody seems to believe she's truly innocent. She seems so lonely and misunderstood, someone who needs a kind hand. But can you trust your heart to her ?
MACY LEE WALSH (F,20) Being the sister of a well-known Kpop gossip youtuber to the likes of Sojang, Macy knew she was walking into a piranã bowl when she joined Telltale Academy. The most likely culprit, when then leaks start turning up her head is immediately on the market for a high prize. And everyone must be right, right? The apple never falls too far from the tree.
SOAPY (F/M,2X) [ RO ] Your fansite, your knight in shining armor, your stalker? Nobody has ever had your back like your biggest fan. They would do anything for you, even leak other contestants scandalous secrets. Or at the least you hope so.
MA YIFEI [ F, 25 ] - A rich girl and former member of Chinese group SNH48 Yifei would be the epitome of an ideal female idol, if she wasn’t a huge lesbian. For mean girl who’s obsessed with the aesthetics of perfection and femininity, that’s a pretty rough secret to keep, specially when you start to develop feelings for the girls you're supposed to be kicking into the ground .
SABIRA OMAROVA, [ F, 23 ] - A Russian Tatar model who landed herself in this program through a series of unfortunate events, and the object of Yifei’s unrequited obsession. Engage in Love Triangle route where you can be Yifei’s Rebound and romance Sabira at the same time.
TADA EMIKO, [ F, 2X ] - One of the company’s oldest trainee’s and an unbreakable soul that seems to maintain her spark no matter what. A true idol.
KIM AGATHA, [ F, 20 ] - Weird girl central. A former child model and fellow long time trainee at LOVEKRAFT ENTERTAINMENT, she seems to be the CEO’s favorite.
LI MAYUKA, [ F, 22 ] - The life of the party. No filter and no discipline, Mayuka really doesn’t seem like a Kpop trainee, but maybe her rebellious nature is exactly what you need to shield you from the horror of this industry.

1. ULTIMATE UPDATE of 2025
Hello everybody,
as you might have noticed, updates and posts have been scarce in the last weeks / months. This is due to some huge changes and events in my private life.
Like I mentioned in some minor updates before, I didn't have much time nor possibilities to write on my IF(s). But this changed now. I have more than enough time now...
And I cannot wait to use this to make my comeback and return with more and better content than before.
You wanna know what this includes? Let me give you a lil insight.
------------
The Demo of PiA will still—as far as I can guess at this point—be updated this month. The exact date will be announced soon. It's a huge one (imo), consisting of overall ca. 150k words (Prologue & Chapter 1)—hooray! > Current status 19.03.25: Finished Editing, Now: Coding & Playtesting
I will finish up the Socials, Profiles and more here on Tumblr in the next weeks & months—after the demo update.
I will sacrifice my sanity and mental health and present my game on the infamous CoG Forum—cause yolo.
The Character Art will be continued and posted on PiA's discord—rawwwwwrrrr.
A Masterplan and Q&A for an upcoming Patreon will follow in the weeks after the Demo Drop—woot woot?
I hope y'all are as excited as I am. Can't wait to deep dive into my writing again and super excited to have y'all around.
Have a lovely day
Sai

Something small I really liked in Thunderbolts is how when John starts calling Bob “Bobby,” it’s clear that Bob does not like it but he doesn’t make a big deal out of it or protest it too much - you see that once John starts doing it he just accepts that it’s going to happen and suppresses any feelings about it, and it’s not something that the movie focuses on very much at all. Then, at the end, the reveal comes that his abusive father called him Bobby, and again, the film does not linger on that very much and it’s not brought up again, but John noticeably stops calling him Bobby — he refers to him only as “Bob” for the rest of the movie.
And I just really appreciate how in the background that thread is allowed to be? A lot of films would have probably tried to beat the audience over the head with it, because subtlety and mainstream film haven’t been getting along very much these days and a lot of scripts feel that if they don’t directly state what they’re trying to say out loud to the camera, the viewers won’t get it. I can easily imagine a version where after that reveal a character goes “is that why you don’t like being called Bobby?” because the film is too insecure to let the moment speak for itself, and then that completely takes away the impact of the reveal because you lose John’s immediate silent understanding and choice to change on his own. I know it’s a really small thing, but still. It was refreshing to see filmmakers trust their story to speak for itself.
#and this isn’t me saying that thunderbolts is a perfect script or that they don’t ever beat you on the head with their messaging/imagery#I just felt that it really emphasized and prioritized character interactions in a way that a lot of recent marvel projects haven’t been#the relationships felt very natural and genuine#which is what I always loved most about marvel#and the lack of which is a big factor in why I had stopped watching new MCU stuff#thunderbolts#thunderbolts spoilers

I hope you all enjoy reading it even half as much as I enjoyed writing it. I've already begun on Chapter 1, but it's very little so expect a while longer before the next chapter.

This little NPC is lost. The Narrator [Black] has come to guide her back to where she needs to be. [Blank Scripts AU]
I imagine Black would be a lot more tolerant toward his NPCs since they're basically just the Dungeons spawns, and by extension, his own creations.
[If you're familiar with manhwas / manhuas that features the dungeon / system genre, you'd be able to understand this AU a lot easier. The majority of my inspiration for worldbuilding came from those specific genres.]
[NOTE: 'Dungeon' is just another term for the Parable. Technically, Black owns a Dungeon and the Parable is just a small part of it. The Dungeon itself is much, much larger.]
For context, the comic below references this post about the Dungeon's children/guard dogs.
[They're more like the immune system since all they do is make sure the (body) is safe.]
[The reason the Narrator [Black] considers them his children is that the Dungeon is feeding off his energy and in turn shares the 'nutrients' to the monsters it produces, which transforms them into an image that resembles his power.]
And the old man below is Joseph!

Joseph is NOT AN NPC! He is a person who exists outside of the Dungeon!
[There are two separate 'worlds' for this AU. Inside the Dungeon (where most of the game-like stuff is happening) and the world outside (pretty much their normal world.)]
[There is a secret third world, and that's our world. Our reality.]
These characters are not actually important or anything, I just made them to make the AU feel more lively. To make a world that exists, you know?


When the Narrator [Black] first established himself in their world, he found a growing problem with homelessness. Not understanding human norms or why this has become a problem in the first place, he offers (tricks) them into working for him as janitors for the Dungeon and they accept for the money.
Most of them left after they got paid, but Joseph was one of the people who stayed. He doesn't have anywhere else to go and has no ambitions in life. He just wishes to live a peaceful life with food and a roof over his head.
Joseph defaults to referring to the Narrator [Black] with feminine terms due to his appearance despite his voice. The Narrator [Black] is not the type to care for such terms anyway so he doesn't care how other people refer to him as long as there's respect.
--------------
This post focuses more on the worldbuilding and background aspects of the AU! There are a lot more in store for the Blank Scripts AU, and I want to explore more on how the characters might interact with their surroundings and how this would work to make a world that makes sense.
It would be so cool if people made self-inserts or OCs for my AU actually. I'd love to see how you guys would work with my stuff. Play around with it like a barbie world for your little barbie dolls. Be canon compliant, be canon divergent, who cares, have fun.
#tsp blank scripts au#I REALLY HOPE I'M MAKING SENSE HERE#this AU is genuinely so big in my head#I barely know how to navigate my way around it to show bits and pieces to my audience little by little so that you get what's up first#before I just dump a truck-full of lore on top of you and expecting you to just understand what the heck I'm on about#because I'm pretty sure if I don't introduce you to the world first you're just not gonna understand what's going on half of the time#let's take it slow okay? sorry if some of these posts come off as boring#I just really love this AU and I'd love to show it to you in a presentable and palatable way so that we can both be on the same level of-#-understanding this AU together#you know what I mean?#and also because I just wanted some background/side characters interactions#tsp au#tsp oc#the stanley parable#the stanley parable ultra deluxe#tsp#tspud#tsp narrator#narrator tsp#my drawing museum

Yknow I really feel like if more people viewed critical role as a thing we are privileged to watch rather than something that is made for us, the fandom would be a lot more chill.
The story is for the cast, we’re simply invited to watch.
#I really hate fandom discourse and I have zero desire to engage with it#but y’all really gotta stop interacting with CR the way you would scripted tv#this is not FOR us!!#it’s SHARED with us!!#this is not aimed at anyone in particular either I promise#it’s just like#take a chill pill and roll with it#you’ll be less stressed I promise#critical role#critical role discourse

WELCOME TO DEUX À DEUX.

THIS GAME IS ON INDEFINITE HIATUS.
Hi all, I’m Ray, and this is the official Tumblr of the WIP interactive fiction game “Deux à Deux."
This post contains:
Socials
Current Demo Status & Patreon Status
Short Synopsis
Long(er) Synopsis
About the Game (ROs and a basic “things to do” summary)
Content Warnings
Demo
***The game is planned to have some mature content, so 18+ only from here on out, please :-) ***
Socials: Pinterest | Spotify | COG Forum | Patreon
Demo & Prologue Status (10/05/2024):
| Public Demo |
Prologue is available. You should also see an ending page which allows you to restart/share game, you should have a stats screen, and you should have 4 save slots.
| Patreon |
Prologue is available. R Burns POV #1 (for prologue scene) is available for free & paid members on Patreon. Erin Pinsky Diary #1 and T Lyons POV #1 are available to Obsession tier on Patreon. Two free drabbles are on Patreon (you can find them here, too, though).
Short Synopsis:
You’re barely scraping by your dead-end job when a couple leaves a note as they leave: “Quit your job—we’ll take care of you.” Calling the number on the note throws you headfirst into a world of luxury, intrigue, power, and lust. Tread lightly.

Long(er) Synopsis:
As a server at a self-proclaimed “upscale” restaurant in New York City, most of your shifts end with exhaustion, total rage, or vague annoyance. When a beautiful couple leaves you a note with their receipt (instructing you to quit your job and let them “take care” of you), along with a $500 tip, you’re intrigued.
You don’t expect much from the note, but it quickly becomes obvious that you’ve caught the Lyonses attention. They’re persistent as they are mysterious, but you soon realize there’s a dark underbelly to their glamorous, luxurious lifestyle. Whether you stay in it or not is up to you.
Will you become part of (or break up) the Lyons couple, or will you find another path with their permanent “house guest”? Maybe you’ll be the fourth piece in their puzzle. You could stay at your crappy serving job and get closer with one of two coworkers, to the horror of the Lyonses—or maybe even your boxing coach.
Whatever happens, it won’t come easy.

About the Game:
-----------------------------ROs---------------------------
T Lyons.
T (Tom/Tess/Tory) Lyons is wealthy, mysterious, and cold. They’re married to N Lyons, and the two of them are the very picture of a New York City “power couple."
T takes an immediate liking to you when they meet you at La Table (the restaurant you work at). Their interest is what sweeps you into the Lyonses life, into their own luxurious, illicit, private world.
Appearance: T Lyons is American and black. They have black hair, sharp lips, and cold brown eyes.
N Lyons.
N (Noah/Natasha/Nico) Lyons is T’s devoted spouse, and is in turns alluring and terrifying. N is apprehensive to have you join their world, despite their immediate interest in you, because the Lyonses only ever have one “house guest” at once.
N Lyons will be a little harder to win over, but they may prove a more loyal ally. You also wonder how much they pull the strings of the Lyonses’ lives behind the scenes. Only time will tell.
Appearance: N Lyons is Mexican-American and brown. They have very dark brown hair, long eyelashes, and calculating black eyes.
M Nguyen.
M (Mason/Molly/Mars) Nguyen is the current house guest of the Lyonses, and you immediately wonder if they find you an unwelcome intrusion or a possible savior.
M is more reserved than either of the Lyonses, but then again, they don’t have much to talk about. They don’t leave the house much, but they want for nothing under the Lyonses care. You just wonder if they’re in a gilded cage, or truly satisfied.
Appearance: M Nguyen is Vietnamese-American and tan. They have black hair, angular cheekbones, and thoughtful black eyes.
R Burns.
R (Ronnie/Roxanne/Rainn) Burns is one of your closest almost-friends in your “real life.” They’re your boxing coach, the best around, and you consider them mostly (or completely) to thank for your combat skills.
You’re always entertained with R, but you’re torn between deciding if there’s real care beneath the easy amusement on the surface. Do you want to get closer to R, or leave them in the dust?
Appearance: R Burns is Punjabi-American and brown. They have black hair, a prominent nose, and dark brown eyes.
Erin Pinsky.
Erin Pinsky (genderlocked) is your almost-almost-codependent coworker. She’s a very talented server, always lighthearted and charming … if you cared more about your job, you might be jealous.
She seems to really like you, too. The question is, is that affection only surface-level, or could there be something more there?
Appearance: Erin Pinsky is American and white. She has poorly bleached hair, always-on black eyeliner, and bright brown eyes.
Theo Ferreira.
Theo Ferreira (genderlocked) is another of your coworkers, but you can’t really tell if he thinks anything about you … like, at all. He doesn’t really give a shit about La Table or his job, so he’s more stern than charming as a server.
For some reason, the customers eat this up. Sometimes he’ll sneak you stolen food from the back and insist you bring it home, but otherwise he’s pretty quiet. Still, he’s very handsome.
Appearance: Theo Ferreira is Brazilian-American and brown. He has buzzed brown hair, expressive eyebrows (though he hates this), and shrewd black eyes.
----------------------THINGS TO DO---------------------
In Deux à Deux, you can romance several people at once (whether there will be consequences or not is anyone’s guess … mwahaha) or devote yourself to one RO. You can also date nobody, I guess, but that will be a lot less fun in this game, sorry!
You can throw yourself wholeheartedly into life with the Lyonses, including going clubbing, eating fine dining, going on impromptu vacations, etc.
You can also reject their frivolous lifestyle entirely, avoiding them when you can (although they’re quite persistent) and spend time boxing, hanging with your coworkers, or trying to get M out of the Lyonses lives.
Or, if you’re feeling ambitious, you can try to balance both.
This game will have:
Romance (duh)
Stat checks with consequences (there will be 2-3 majorly game-defining stat checks, so choose wisely)
Combat (everyone has a few skeletons in their closets, right?)
A fair bit of drama.

Content Warnings:
These will be updated more as I continue writing and completely solidify things, but this is a start.
Combat: knives, guns, street fighting
Violence: blood, bruising, unconsciousness
Stalking (not by ROs or MC)
Swearing/cursing (your MC can choose not to curse, though!)
Sexually suggestive content
Sexually explicit content (can opt out via “fade-to-black”)
NOTE: there is no sexual violence or allusions to it, EVER. There is no human/sex trafficking or allusions to it, EVER.
The Demo:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you so much for your interest in my game!! So excited to continue sharing this with you all.
XO
Ray
