Finally, the chapter one (part one) update is here! I've been fighting tooth and nail against my own perfectionism, but my partner assures me that the chapter is good and I think I'm finally happy with where it's at. In this update you can:
Wake up!
Have a conversation with your host (Jay, Ravi, or Dr. Jones)
Go for a drive!
Return to the lake, or check out a gas station in the middle of nowhere.
Eat Breakfast! Meet Beck & Perri!
And that's it, nothing else weird will happen at all, I promise <3
There's a good amount of branching in this one. Three starts, two distinct middle paths, and it all comes together at the end. Because of that it might feel a little shorter than its almost 60k words (somehow the edit made it longer this time???), but I'm feeling good with the length.
Apologies in advance, but you'll need to start a fresh save for the update. I ended up changing the variables in the prologue quite significantly. Additionally, the content warnings page has been updated for chapter one, part one, and can be found here.
Feedback is always welcome! My askbox is open, and the forum post for the WIP is another great place for feedback. That can be found here.
Thank you so much for your support, and I hope you enjoy!

;; “ASPEN” DE ROSA (she/it)
- tight-curled, black hair that reaches its mid-back, dark brown eyes and freckled tawny skin. 6ft (182.88cm)
- she’s a journalist!!
- strange obsession with the woods and cryptids.
- weird & smart!!
- SO awkward. she tries soo hard but her overall demeanor kinda unsettles people and always has, so her social skills arent great.
- MOST likely gonna romance perri. still kinda in the air
- willow is her BEST friend. calls her wills.
- wears coconut-scented perfume but the scent of the forest always kinda lingers.
- nicknamed aspen (like the tree)!! its real name is zaya but it doesn’t introduce itself as that.
- during a school presentation, while walking back to its seat, tripped. she legit just burst out in tears in class and the memory still haunts her.
- bad vision in its right eye, perfect vision in its left. breaks all their glasses within weeks, though. at a certain point, it gave up trying to replace the lens.
- dying feels so much like dreaming.

Hey so um. I decided to drop an update. Because I'm impatient and the transition & library scenes are finished. I decided since this part is complete, why not share it instead of making people wait until I finish the rest of the chapter? Progress is speeding along, but I keep adding more and it'll need to be edited. Here's a mini update for now <3
In this update you can:
Leave the diner!
Make small talk!
Go to the library!
Meet Yasmin!
Do a ton of research! Or don't! It's totally up to you c:
My idea with the library was you can engage with it as much or as little as you'd like. A good amount of lore and story tidbits are tucked away in the different options, but you certainly don't have to read everything if you don't want to! Plus, you get to meet and interact with Yasmin, and have a few chances to get to know Perri better <3
Deepest apologies, but the update will almost certainly break saves, since I changed the personality stats and added variables. Still, I hope anyone who plays has a great time, and it won't be long now until I share the rest of the chapter!
As always, my askbox is open for feedback, as well is the post on the forums. I hope you enjoy~
