New IF: A Promise
Summary:
For as long as you knew yourself, you lived as a wandering knight. You rode with your family across the desert, participating in as many tourneys as you could. You searched for a cure for your sister's mysterious ailment as well, visiting sawbones, alchemists and all sorts of odd people along your travels. Your life brought no fame or glory to you, nor did it give you the answers you sought. Wherever you went, very few people cared about you. Such is the life of a wandering knight, after all.
It did not matter much however. Nights passed by around a fire in peace, and mornings always began with laughs and jests. Arguments did always happen, but they faded away as fast as they came. No matter what happened, your family stood strong on its feet.
Yet as they say, no life goes on unbroken.
Today, you ride to Bene Sallo, yet another city where the biggest tourney of the century is being held. It promises more gold than you ever heard in your entire life, more than enough to build your own home and even figure out what is wrong with your sister. You can only hope that it will end well for all of you.
Features:
- Choose your name, gender, appearance, and how you would like others to call you.
- Travel through the desert and the lands beyond, see the world that you never needed to care about before.
- Meet a plethora of all sorts of people, from the highest to the lowest. Befriend some, love others, and be wary of the rest.
- Decide how you will survive, and what you will become.

New IF: In Sickness, In Health And In Espionage
Summary:
Your whirlwind romance to the charming, mysterious Holland Quinn felt like a dream come true: you held the same common interests, and your family and friends, even the prickliest of them, loved Holland.
Getting engaged was a natural step, even if the relationship was still so new. However, on your wedding day, the perfect fairytale Holland had crafted for you turns into a hellish nightmare.
Dressed in your wedding outfit, ready to walk back up the aisle with the love of your life, the venue is suddenly blown to pieces, and you learn that Holland Quinn, now your spouse, is a secret spy, and a mob boss with a grudge is after them. And after you too now.
Forced to flee, life as you know it is over, but Holland swears to you the love you share is real.
Will you believe that and stand by the spy you married, in sickness and in health, till death do you part?
Features:
۶۟ৎ Customize your Main Character as you wish: gender and pronouns, appearance from height to physical features, personality traits, flaws, job profession, hobbies, and much more.
۶۟ৎ Travel as a runaway, find the good in the bad, and learn some high-level defense skills to protect yourself and those you care about.
۶۟ৎ Fight back against a mob boss with a grudge, ask favours of shady individuals, and walk the thin line between morality and immorality. Your life is on the line, after all.
۶۟ৎ Repair the relationship between you and your spouse and learn who they truly are. Or throw it all away for someone else...
RO's:
- Holland Quinn (gender-selectable M/F) is the main romance option in this WIP.
Holland is your spouse and an unparalleled secret agent, with a near perfect track record, and too many dark secrets to count.
Espionage used to be Holland's way of life, and being a spy was all they knew how to be. Until the carefully planned day the two of you met.
When the truth comes out, Holland is stuck at a crossroads between the life they thought was the only one for them and the life they promised to build with you.
Appearance: fair skin, blue gray eyes. m!holland has tousled dark brown, nape-length hair. f!holland has upper-back length, dark brown hair, which is streaked with lighter highlights. m!holland is 5'11. f!holland is 5'8. both wear glasses.
age: thirty-two years old.
- Cassius/Cassia "Cash" Montenegro (gender-selectable M/F) is the mob boss with a bone to pick and a side RO in this WIP.
Relentless in their pursuit of revenge, the sight of you was the only thing that made them hesitate.
Cruel, unforgiving, and sick as a dog, Cash uses both shrewdness and charm to protect their Family. They never forget, much less forgive.
Choosing Cash would be an unwise decision, but after everything that has happened, does that really matter?
- Appearance: tan skin, hazel eyes. cassius has jet black, nape-length, mullet-ish hair. cassia has waist-length, jet black hair always styled in a bouncy blowout. both are 6'0. cassius has tattoos on his whole body, with the most noticeable ones being on his hands. cassia only has tattoos on both hands and nowhere else.
age: thirty-five years old.
There's bad blood between these two, but your love may just be the answer...
Yes, a triad poly route is available.

Update: Nocturne Creatures
— In this noir interactive fiction, take the role of a disturbed detective in the 90's as you navigate a curious case of planned killing.
Choose between Madalena Pearce or Marcelo Pearce and take the role of a brazilian detective in the 90's, investigating the strange case of Micaela, her relationship with your old work partner and her connection with one of the most influential families of Santa Trindade.
Features:
- play as male or female and shape your personality, appearance, skills, and more;
- keep faithful to your lover or add more fire to the mess being a cheater;
- manage your marriage, your relationships, your kids and your past;
- uncover the truth about the dark path you're about to dive into;
- meet Santa Trindade, it's inhabitants, it's habits and whatnots;
- dive into 90's Brazil!;
- have some late shift hours—you're a workaholic, after all.
(The Update)
Word count: 33.1k with code / 27.1k without code.
In this chapter:
- chose between darling Lena or snarky Hak;
see a dead body. Yay!;
- meet a little of Santa Trindade, the city you love and protect <3;
- meet a few characters, including, but not only: the love of your life, your bubbly work partner, your boss, your witty friend and Telma (really, the most important from this list);
- deliver terrible, horrible news;
- inspect a crime scene (ooh! real detective work!);
- make it to dinner (emotionally alive); and
listen to Mamonas Assassinas against (or with, but probably against) your will.
Notes:
- there's a single choice in Marcelo's route that wasn't worked on yet.
- I need to finish the final scene from both Lena and Cristina as well as Hak and Cristiano. - As such, the only available routes today are Marcelo with Cristina and Madalena with Cristiano. I'll update the other two routes on Monday.
- Richard's scene isn't completed. It's added, you can get a taste of his baptized coffee, but it's not finished.
- Aside from those two points, everything's playable and choosable. Yip Yip Cay-Yey.
P.S. (Knightstorm): Added the summary and features first as I've never caught wind of this IF till today.

Update: Romance of The Damned (Chapter 2 Part 2)
A/N: The second part of Chapter 2 is finally up and ready to completely destroy whatever remaining peace our protagonist thought he had.
With this update, the full WIP now sits at roughly 40K words with code, and 37K words without.
Picking up exactly where we left off, the agonizing, silent standoff in the clubroom is officially interrupted by our very first “client”—a delusional chuunibyou who managed to stumble into the absolute worst room on campus.
If Chapter 1 was about building the locked-room mystery, Chapter 2 Part Two is about completely dismantling the protagonist’s ego. I decided to lean heavily into the sheer exhaustion of high-society psychological warfare. You will get to experience a four-way Mexican standoff disguised as a debate over a fishing proverb, witness Kanashiro Kana mathematically weaponize her lack of empathy, and finally watch the protagonist realize that his “genius” deductions were actually just him walking blindly into a bear trap set by Fukami Reika.
As I mentioned recently over on Tumblr, you will also notice the shift in the mechanical design here. The story is adopting a much tighter Visual Novel structure. Your choices in this update—like deciding whether to “participate normally” or “be the pollution that ruins the air”—won’t magically save the protagonist from his fate. Instead, they dictate the exact flavor of his humiliation and determine whether Kana or Reika respects him for it.
On a much more sentimental note: I want to dedicate this update in celebration of Oregairu’s 15th Anniversary.
It is no secret that My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, As I Expected is the foundational DNA of this project. Hachiman, Yukino, and the Service Club completely redefined the high school cynic genre, and this WIP started as a direct love letter to that dynamic.
However, with the conclusion of this update, the “homage” phase is officially over. The training wheels have been taken off, and the club’s true, overarching objective has finally cast its shadow. We are no longer just fixing minor high school drama; we are dealing with systemic, elite social sabotage. Romantic Comedy of the Damned is now walking its own twisted, deeply uncomfortable path. Let’s see where it goes in Part Three.

New IF: Soft As Steel
Summary:
You are a mistake—that’s what you’ve been told all your life—a curse, a bane, a burden. Now, you are given a chance to prove them wrong, or live up to the claims.
The Ursa-Frost tribe is a close-knit and fiercely loyal clan. Living in the cold north, they are both hardened yet brimming with life. The same hand that gently pats your head, could snap another’s neck without hesitation. After finding you half-buried in snow, they took you in and treated you as one of them.
Once you had watched merely them through a screen; now they stand before you, in flesh and blood.
Unaware of the danger that lurks in their own home; of the voice that commands you, hungering for chaos—a voice that slowly begins to sound like your own.
Will you fight back against the story, grasping to hope that you can all live peacefully? Or will you follow the whims of fate, revelling in the chaos?
Features:
- Choose between three types of beastkin; a snowy owl, an artic fox, or a snow hare. Each species has their own strengths and weakness, as well as exclusive scenes/ dialogues.
- Shape how your character acts; is she bold or shy? Quick to joke or earnest to a fault? Can she hide her emotions or do they control her?
- Form bonds with the lively Ursa-Frost clan—whether as enemies or allies.
- Fight against the voice in your head or heeds its command—or show it just how ruthless you can be.
It's just a game, right?
Disclaimer:
This game is gender-locked female and has only 1 RO; you may choose to pursue a platonic or enemy route—I might even add flings but no gurantee—but the prominent RO will remain only one. Depending on your choices, the romance/ relationship might even become… disturbing. Tread carefully.
In this game, you are allowed to be an insufferable, petty and frankly ‘evil’ character—just don’t be surprised if consequences are had. Similarly, you can also play a character with good-intentions—but don’t be surprised if you’re not always rewarded for it.
(and yes, I forgot I couldn’t change the game title on Cogdemos after setting it—oh well).

New IF: This Time It's Different
Summary:
River Point, Oregon, is anything but normal. Missing people is just another conversation over coffee, and car crashes are just something you don't pay attention to. You've lived your whole life like that, not paying attention to the news, the helicopters just becoming background noise to everyday life. However, everything changed for you and for your family when your older sibling died in one of those accidents.
You all try to move on, your parents stopped fighting, and they actually stopped talking to each other in general. You're left to take care of your little sister, but that isn't before you go to college. A couple of months after you graduated, you're called back to River Point to take care of your younger sister. The same hospital that took care of you when you were younger called you, telling you that you're your younger sister's emergency contact. Not your parents. You.
Now it's time to go back home, back to that town, back to that hospital, back to those people.
As mentioned before, your older sibling died in a car 'accident' when you were younger, and yes, you were in the car with them. You've never stopped blaming yourself. I think it's time to forgive yourself, no?
Features:
- Choose who you are: gender, pronouns, what you look like, how you dress, what you like or don't like, and your personality.
- Romanticize your life: Out of three RO's in the beginning, choose your relationship type: friends-to-lovers, enemies-to-lovers, soulmates, childhood friends-to-lovers, and many more to come. Or you can choose to be happily single as well
- Pick your therapy animal given to you: Choose a lovable golden retriever, a calming calico cat, or a gentle rabbit! (many more animals to come).

Summary:
River Point, Oregon, is anything but normal. Missing people is just another conversation over coffee, and car crashes are just something you don't pay attention to. You've lived your whole life like that, not paying attention to the news, the helicopters just becoming background noise to everyday life. However, everything changed for you and for your family when your older sibling died in one of those accidents.
You all try to move on, your parents stopped fighting, and they actually stopped talking to each other in general. You're left to take care of your little sister, but that isn't before you go to college. A couple of months after you graduated, you're called back to River Point to take care of your younger sister. The same hospital that took care of you when you were younger called you, telling you that you're your younger sister's emergency contact. Not your parents. You.
Now it's time to go back home, back to that town, back to that hospital, back to those people.
As mentioned before, your older sibling died in a car 'accident' when you were younger, and yes, you were in the car with them. You've never stopped blaming yourself. I think it's time to forgive yourself, no?
Features:
- Choose who you are: gender, pronouns, what you look like, how you dress, what you like or don't like, and your personality.
- Romanticize your life: Out of three RO's in the beginning, choose your relationship type: friends-to-lovers, enemies-to-lovers, soulmates, childhood friends-to-lovers, and many more to come. Or you can choose to be happily single as well
- Pick your therapy animal given to you: Choose a lovable golden retriever, a calming calico cat, or a gentle rabbit! (many more animals to come).
- Your therapy journey: Choose to heal, fight back, or to never forget.
- What's your majorrrr?: Are you a certified psychologist, or a sweet kindergarten teacher? - Pick whichever major suits you! You have a wide range of careers to choose from. I promise it's not just those two!

New IF: The Starweaver's Dream (Prologue)
In an empire where the heavens have gone silent, only you can speak to them.
The Starweaver's Dream is a romantic high-fantasy interactive fiction inspired by the rich tapestry of South Asian history and mythology.
Summary:
Possessed of a rare gift long dismissed as myth, you harbour the ability to divine using the literal threads of starlight that form the tapestry of time. When your sacred power finally draws the attention of the palace, the royals summon you to the capital and give you the title of Nursrava, the voice of the divine light. Once you arrive, you expect to live out your days in quiet service to the royal family.
Instead, you discover that the kingdom is on the brink of a collapse. A desperate crisis is unfolding beneath the palace's majestic facade, and your power makes you the ultimate prize. You are no longer a guest but rather a pawn caught up in the struggle between those who seek to exploit your power and those desperate to protect you and your precious gift.
Within the palace's vast stone halls, those you choose to mingle with may decide your fate. Whether your growing closeness arises from a forbidden glance during an encounter or a whispered promise in the dark, you must choose whom to trust with your life — and your heart.
Amidst the swiftly crumbling politics of this kingdom, you are the only one who can see the truth — but in a court built on lies, the truth may be more dangerous than you realize. As the walls close in, you must decide: will you surrender to the duty expected of you, or risk everything for the one who finally captures your heart?
Features:
- Choose your gender (male, female, non-binary), physical traits and the gender(s) you are attracted to.
- Shape your personality to reflect the kind of Nursrava you want to be.
- Pick one of four potential romance options (either all male, all female or a random mix of genders): The Silver Tongue, The Exiled Sun, The Silent Shadow or The Celestial Anchor.
- Shift the balance of courtly alliances and choose how involved you want to be in the kingdom's future.

Update: Summer Of Love
What's changed:
Chapter 2 is Day 1, Part 2, the afternoon after the coupling. It's a single, continuous scene: all ten islanders, one sofa, one game of Never Have I Ever that runs for the rest of the day.
What happens:
The coupling's done. Izzie has an idea.
Never Have I Ever starts as a warmup and becomes something else entirely, ten rounds that get progressively harder to answer, covering drunk texts, old exes, blocking and unblocking, being engaged, cheating, stringing someone along, and staying too long.
Your MC gets a turn. You choose the prompt, and six distinct options shape what the second half of the game becomes.
Every round is a choice: drink boldly, drink quietly, drink and laugh, or don't drink at all. A few round have the option to not drink when you should, but know that will have consequences later down the line.
Word count:
78k words total. As with Chapter 1, individual playthroughs are a fraction of that, as the word count reflects the branching across ten rounds, six different MC prompts, every islander's individual reactions, and the quiet accumulation of things that will matter later.
A note on this chapter:
Chapter 2 is quieter than Chapter 1, as it's one location, no new arrivals, no ceremony. What it is instead is a room of ten people becoming, gradually, something other than strangers. The game is the vehicle. What it makes is the point.

New IF: Phantom Thief: Money's For Fools
◆ THE STORY ◆
Dash through rooftops. Sneak around guards. Slither past defense systems.
Live the life of a phantom thief in this interactive fiction game. Plan five different heists while managing your time and resources. Fail and go to jail! But you can always try to escape.
Can you stop your brother from going down your father’s dark path, or will you simply screw them over for your own ends?
(The game currently features a prologue heist, an interlude chapter about your backstory, and the free roam section of the first chapter. 87k+ words.)
◆ FEATURES ◆
- Customize your character's gender, sexual orientation, appearance, personality and more!
- Customize your thief persona: choose an alias, thief archetype, and motivation!
- Pursue romance, or friendship, with several characters: the annoying genius detective on your heels, a reporter obsessed with your feats, your ardent rival thief, a kind barista at your favorite cafe, or your sleazy fence.
- Go through five different heists where success depends on your choices and preparation.
- If you fail, get arrested and try to escape prison!
- Deal with the ghosts of your past. Stop your sibling from going down your father's dark path, or simply screw them over for your own ends.
◆ THE CAST ◆
(RO - Romantic Options. Only the reporter and superhero are fixed as women. Though that might change in the future.)
- The Detective is the pebble in your shoe, the sound to your footsteps, the Sherlock to your Lupin. They have been chasing you for as long as you have been active. A do-gooder addicted to mysteries, and possibly you?
- The Fence is your long time partner in crime. Kept at arm's length, as all criminal friends should be. They are extremely resourceful and well connected. You couldn't do your job without them, but maybe you could without all their blatant dishonest flirting.
The Rival is exactly as they sound like. A phantom thief much like yourself, donning a domino mask and something of a musketeer's outfit. You have squabbled over the same marks dozen upon dozens of times, but this time it's personal.
- The Reporter has been making you front line news ever since your first high profile heist. With a slouched demeanor, a goofy writing style, and an ill-fitting appearance, you can't help but think they are closer than you realize.
The Super-Hero is exactly the type of do-gooder you have always desperately tried to avoid. Your biggest tool to do so? Speed and the element of surprise. You don't have powers to go toe to toe with someone like this. So why the hell are they even bothering with you instead of Kaijus or mad scientists?
The Barista serves at a cafe you have started to frequent. Friendly and calm, they couldn't be more different than you. Yet... maybe that is exactly what you need right now?
