a revamped game with new aesthetics and playable on mobile!

new codex entries: Bachra and The Healer

working stats for MC: you’ll have to play from the beginnig

NOTE that this was written in italian and then translated in english so you’ll probably come across some mistakes and weird sentences here and there.

Thorne's & Roses

Genre(s): Murder Mystery and Romance

As the 'lucky' orphan that was adopted into the Thorne family - the namesake of Thorne University. You thought you were just another ordinary student going into your senior year. Yet, nothing could prepare you for what’s to come. Your family has secrets, this campus has secrets… and somehow you found yourself in the middle of it all.

Features:

Customizable MC. Gender, pronouns, appearance, personality, etc. 

Choose your major and extracurricular activity. Are you co-captain of the soccer team? Vice President of the Student Government? A prominent artist in the Fine Arts & Photography club? Or a shining student devoting their time to volunteering?

Juggle your studies, social life, and attempt to solve a mystery eating you alive. Will you neglect your studies? Or lose yourself to the murder?

Uncover the secrets of Thorne University, the Thornes themselves, and face difficult decisions surrounding the family that adopted you. 

Get thrown into the fray with an unlikely group of people. Discover enemies, friendship, or perhaps something more along the way.

Prologue and chapter one are undergoing coding. I intend to launch the demo in June 2022. More information soon!

More under the cut.

From the outside looking in, Iris has it all. She comes from a wealthy family, carries herself well, and is the poster child for everything philanthropic that happens on campus. Although she is warm, loyal, and caring - you can see the distance in her piercing blue eyes.

She is fierce, independent, brash, and shamelessly herself. Almost never far from her camera - taking pictures everywhere she goes. Even if it gets her into some sticky situations now and then. She would burn the world down for those she cares for, and expects the same from them in return.

Constantly under the scrutiny of his father, Everett is always aiming to prove himself. He is referred to as ‘The Lion’, coined by his teammates for his prowesses on the soccer field.  Never alone and always surrounded by his friends, he is charming, welcoming, and never seems to take anything too seriously.

Currently president of the student government association, debate team, and volunteers with the local voting office. He is rational, reserved, and hard to read. Yet. you know there is more to him than a ‘for the greater good’ attitude, but it might just take a hammer to unearth it.

Can we please please have a ???? Reaction to MC softly kissing their cheek and then rubbing noses together....what about other ROs?, I know I'm greedy sorry👀👀👀👀

I'll indulge you this one time, Anon :3c

Lana: She's squeeing. For her, there's just something intimate about letting someone giving you small kisses and rabbit kisses on your face. She's ticklish, but she'll happily give you some too! "I can't be the only one getting these! C'mere, MC! Lemme kiss you too!"

William: He's the type where he'll say he's disgusted by the action, but he'll demand more. Don't expect too many kisses from him in return, he's bad at returning this kind of affection, but it's the effort behind every kiss that counts! "If you care for these kind of kisses, you should have just asked. Fine, the king will indulge you...once."

Rin: Their eyes are wide, surprised at the amount of affection you're giving them. They don't really know what to do in this situation. This is so soft and alien, that they're unaware as to how to properly reciprocate, and they want to ask: "Does doing this to you make you feel good too? Then...lemme try. I want to give you a lot of kisses too."

Hanami: He's humming, accepting every kiss that you're giving him. He considers it a reward, but he'll ask to tone it down for a bit. He needs a second to breathe, after all! His ears and tail are wagging from the affection, and in turn, he'll say: "You know, you're going to give this old man so much affection that he'll won't know what to do with all of it...no, keep going. Keep going, will you? It feels nice to be rewarded like this..."

Muzik: He's chuckling, accepting every kiss with grace. You're peppering his face with small kisses? You're rubbing your nose against his? Is this a form of affection that's exclusively between people in your world? He's curious to know, but if you're going do this, he'll learn and reciprocate in return. "Dear patron, these kind of kisses are a bit ticklish. I'll have to charge you some Eros for tickling me, hahaha."

???: They're giggling at the kisses, happy to have your entire attention on them. They'll happily kiss you back, and they'll nuzzle your nose in return too, smiling happily all the while. "You remembered me...these kisses feel so nice...lemme kiss you too. I'll kiss your face, nose, fingers, and your neck..."

[twyam-if]

remember, there's no right answers.

Is it possible to implement queerplatonic relationships?

Hello there! In terms of romantic relationships in general, you will be able to have a platonic, romantic relationship or a purely romantic relationship with the RO. I hope I understood your question, this is a first I've heard of the term, and even after researching it, I wasn't too sure if I was still able to grasp it well enough. Please correct me if I'm wrong, though!

[twyam-if]

Hey what if the main character turned evil, but I mean what if they had to make a tough decision for the better of the group but later down the line it would come and backfire on them making them join the dark side either willingly or forcefully (like brainwashing them)? How would the Ro's feel about having to point their weapons at someone who they care deeply about?

Maniacally laughs in the distance.

Lana: There's tears falling from her eyes, and as she's pointing her weapon towards you, she eventually lets them fall to the ground. She can't bring herself to hurt you, but she desperately wants to save you from the brainwashing. She may be bloody, she may be hurting, but she can't bring herself to hurt you. She'll have to rely on someone else to break you out. "I can't...I can't bring myself to hurt you at all...!"

William: He's enraged that you were brainwashed so easily, and he's ready to take out (read: beat) the brainwashing out of you, whatever means necessary. That's his childhood friend you're brainwashing, and if the enemy sincerely believes that this will deter William, they have another thing coming. "MC, I won't stop fighting you until you apologize for getting yourself brainwashed! Now get over here, show me your head, and let me knock you out!"

Rin: They're shocked into silence, but they'll quickly do what they can to make this as painless as possible. You were brainwashed, if there's a way to make sure that you're incapacitated without any harm, they'll do it. They'll check in on you afterwards, and hopefully, you'll forgive them for knocking you out. "I was worried about you...are you alright? Let's make sure that something like this doesn't happen again."

Hanami: He's angry, and he wants to beat whoever brainwashed you to hell and back, but he needs to take care of you first. He's conflicted on what he needs to do, but he has no other choice. He'll hold you down, knock you out, and ask that you forgive him for what he has done. It's a standard plan, but it's a plan that Hanami will follow. He'll do what he can for now, so all he asks is that you hang on. "Hang on, MC! I'm coming! And you, you're next, you asshole! I'm going to kill you for making me do this!"

Muzik: He's concerned about the aftermath, but he can't do much right now, which frustrates him. He can't exactly make a concoction for something like this, magic will be needed to erode the brainwashing away. He puts his weapon away, tucking it away, and instead will say: "Dear patron, I can't exactly fight you. Why not have a verbal fight with me, instead? And with that, I successfully distracted you. Watch out, dear William is about to knock you out!"

???: They're upset. Very, very upset. They want to hold you and never let go, taking in any wounds that you'll inflict on them. By then, they'll [erase] the person who had brainwashed you. If you're shocked at the damage that was done to them, don't worry about it. They look extremely happy to see that you remember them instead. "Good, you're awake! Come, let's eat something! Don't worry about these wounds, you didn't hurt me at all."

[twyam-if]

If you don't mind, can you add Muzik's and ???'s response to any of the old asks about RO's reaction?

Of course, this isn't meant to pressure you, you don't have to do it if you don't want to. I'm merely curious about their responses.

Sure, I don't mind at all! But, there are a lot of asks that didn't include them both, so if there's any that you specifically want of them, I can go ahead and do it! Just lemme know~

The routine stays the same.

Forget. Never forget. Forget. Never forget.

They wake up to see you, slaving away as a hero. No, as a villain. No, as a secondary character. No, as a -- [stop it. Stop thinking about it. They are not a hero. They are not a villain. They are not neutral. They are not like those that are written in stories. They are not someone that is readily there.]

[They are who they are. Break them. Speak to them. Find them. Do they deserved to be broken? Do they deserved to be spoken with? Do they deserve to be found, even if they aren't chosen?]

[Who was it that chose them?]

Me.

[Why did you chose them?]

Because they can't forget.

[Can't? Or won't?]

...

[You threaten the world if they forget. You destroy yourself if they forget. Why is forgetting important to you?]

Never ask me this ever again.

[Then let us ask you this. What do you want?]

I want them.

[Will you regret it?]

No.

[Then damn yourself. Damn the world. Be as heretical as you want. But remember to never doubt. Never shirk away from what you want. You reached for it, so take it by the hand. Do not falter, lest you lose it.]

I know.

[Do you? Or do you only know how to be compliant?]

I wake.

[Yes. Wake. And let us never speak ever again.]

That will be impossible.

Silence echoes through the void, and as they open their eyes, they grasp their own hand. Their mind wanders, giving them the illusion that you are the one holding their hand.

They close their eyes, dropping their hands on their lap.

They want to sleep more now.

[Goodnight.]

Goodnight.

[twyam-if]

How would the ROs react if the MC cupped their face in their hands and said, "Look! I can hold my entire world in my hands!"? Both deep crushing and relationship stages!

Ahhhh, the famed ask that I would often see in other IFs! I'm a bit excited to work on this, so here we go!

Lana: She's bawling. She's crying from sheer happiness and she'll hold your head in her hands too, nuzzling her nose against yours. "I've always loved you so, so much! Your the one who held my entire world ever since we were in Middle School, you know! So...please continue to hold it, alright? In return, I'll carry you around to the ends of the earth!"

William: He's staring at you like a cat, taking in your expression with wide eyes. He will then let out a sigh, and lower his forehead against yours. "Listen. The amount of power you have over me is astronomical; that is dangerous to a king. So, if I ever fall into the abyss and lose my way, you will need to rescue me with your love. Understood? I can't let you go anymore."

Rin: They simply blink at you, not knowing what to say. Eventually, they their sunglasses off and press a light kiss on your forehead, "I should be the one saying that. I'd never thought I would find my light here...Thank you for being born."

Hanami: He's lightly blushing with a smile on his face, and you can see his ears flapping and his tail waving from happiness. He'll slowly lower his forehead against yours, and he'll say: "I'd never thought I'd ever find someone like you, much less find love again in a world like this. Forevermore, you will be the flame that burns in my heart..."

Muzik: He's ecstatic. He's playfully holding your head in his own hands, and as he rubs circles on the hollows of your cheeks, he'll say: "My dear storyteller, it is YOU that is my world. Let us write our own story together...and possibly sell it for 999,999 Eros--hahahaha! I kid, I kid!"

???: There's a huge smile on their face. They're nuzzling their face in your hands, to which they'll say: "You never forgot me. You are my world. You are its stars. You are its beginning. And...you are my end. I love you so much..."

Update #4

I'm a day late, but--

Welcome to the next update! I'm still working on the Prologue as we speak, but as you might have known, I've created another IF to help mitigate my darker tendencies! Welcome To The Family, please check it out here!

So a few things, I'll make update posts for Welcome To The Family as well, BUT--because I'll be working interchangeably between the two, making update posts for them weekly will be a bit hard. So, what I'll do instead is make bi-weekly update posts. Every two weeks, I'll post a progress for only one of the IFs, and the next time when I post another one, it'll be for the other IF. Just saying 'Hey, I'm still on the Prologue' will be redundant, so I thought it would be better to just say it later on than earlier.

For this case, however, I'll post both progress. For TWYAM, I'm still in the middle of writing the Prologue. I'm currently writing out the second branch/option that you would choose, but because of my classes and getting sick (which REALLY threw a wrench in my plans), I was only able to do a little bit of writing. Otherwise, it's slow progress, but it's progress!

As for WTTF, I'm in the middle of mapping out the Prologue and working out the plot. While I did have an idea of what I could do for the plot, I want to make sure that when I work on it, that I can finalize those plans immediately and get to work on implementing it into the story to not only make sense, to make it flow well, and to keep it as intriguing as I can for you guys to enjoy. There's gonna be a lot of thinking on this one, but hopefully, I'll make it through!

Otherwise, thanks for sticking with me! I'll see you guys later!

[twyam-if]

So idk if this was asked but, how do the ROs sleep? With/without a partner(s)

This wasn't asked, no worries!

Lana: She sleeps on her side with a pillow under her legs. She's a bit of a hugger too, so you'll see her hugging a pillow or a plushy while she's asleep. If she's with a partner, she'll hug and cuddle them.

William: He sleeps on his side too, but he doesn't hug anything. He just lays his arms out or curls them up. If he's with a partner, not much will change, but he'll keep a hold on their shirt.

Rin: They sleep on their back. They find it soothing and they like to stare at the ceiling before they sleep. If they're with a partner, they'll hold their hand in theirs.

Hanami: He sleeps on his side, mainly because he can easily pick up his weapon, roll off, and go stabby-stab. But if he's with a partner, he'll curl up against them and drape his tail over them. He does prefer that, if the bed is against the wall, that you sleep on the wall-side. He can protect them easier that way.

Muzik: He doesn't sleep. At least, that's what he wants you to think. If he's with a partner, he'll simply watch over them and smile to himself. How can he sleep when his partner's face looks so cute when they sleep?

???: They'll curl up and close their eyes, feigning sleep. But if they're with a partner, they'll curl up against them and hug them possessively...while also feigning sleep.
