1966 WIP 244k words (UPDATE 1/9/25 +84k words) [Mystery, Romance, Horror, Lovecraftian, Supernatural]

huh? that doesn’t happen though?? the ghoul doesn’t kill anyone in this update. do you mean the nameless ‘poet’? that’s not Roulet. Roulet is even the one telling you about this guy “There is a dead poet in your bathroom. ${roulet_name} says he cut himself yesterday after brunch.” And the ghoul has nothing to do with it: the guy did it himself. I think I should rewrite this sentence for clarity…

Ghoul is a she in text, is a ‘he’ in reply.

another swapping between genders in one page

I think something is missing here

Edit: I just finished the demo and I’m addicted. How can something this good be true

Insanely good vibes, I absolutely dig the atmosphere you’ve created with the words here, hope it releases fully because it’s worth it.

I am a hopeful God hiding behind masks who can’t help but be nice to others for some insane reason

oooof I actually don’t understand what’s wrong D: I’m guessing it’s the ‘shard’ variable, but how can it be missing at this point? it can’t be ‘none’ right? I added [*if shard = “none” *set shard “marsh”] If anyone knows what’s wrong I’ll be super grateful!

Human woman = yes.

Fish woman = yes.

Ghoul woman = yes.

Eldritch woman I knew earlier = YES.

Dammit they all too good

Maybe it’s because I used an older save?

As enjoyable as always! I did see some double quotation marks at some points, and when you dance with Nyarlathotep, the option is nod.", instead of just nod. Can’t remember the other ones, I’m afraid!

That’s possible? I thought cogdemos deleted save files when the author updated the choicescript_stats.txt, which I obviously did with the update. But yeah, hopefully this is just a save file issue!

I ctrl+F a bunch of double quotation marks, but I do not see the nod." one O-o I mean, I see the nod option but it doesn’t have quotation marks… Maybe I fixed it already before I saw your message. Anyway, thank you for pointing out the unnecessary quotation marks!

The artist is amusing. And intriguing. And cute. I look forward to potentially playing out the story of an eldritch creature who slowly comes to feel something close to mortal love and it gets in the way of building my fanatical cult.

Also, the moment the Queen In Red decided to fake me out with an RO death scene is the exact moment I have decided to kill her. It may take all story long and some stat checks, but I will do it. Her Crown will Rot. :smiley:

Could mc at full power even attempt try and kill the queen?

Wow, this is really good, and every choice actually feels like it is important instead of just flavour.

I’m certainly going to try.
