Shepherds of Haven (WIP) (DEMO UPDATE: 3 Aug 2021)

[Shepherds%20of%20Haven%20(1)] (Formerly “Haven and Hael”!) Hello, all! I’m trying my hand out at my first CSG game. It’s adapted from a fantasy series I considered sending to my agent, but which I decided was better (and more fun) as a game. Thanks for your support: please enjoy! Story

Premise

Shepherds of Haven is a dark fantasy interactive fiction game. In it, you play as a Mage living in a world where magic is outlawed and your people—those possessing supernatural powers—a…

I believe this is the game you’re looking for.

I’m looking for a wip where from what I can remember you play some sort of assassin/mercenary? for an influential person. There are enhanced humans catagorised in Alpha/Beta/Gamma/… classes, and you play as a Beta class with regeneration that’s so good that even after jumping out of a window of a high building and split your head open, you fully regenerate it. That’s all I can remember

It’s CODEX written by Ari
I think it’s discontinued though, which is a shame as it has such a good potential and was so fun to read

[Sleepy_Belgian]

That was indeed the one, Thx.

Yeah, I really liked playing a sarcastic/flirty Mc. Great dialogue. Had hoped it would be updated…but I guess most promising wips just stay like this one…a quick tease

Hi! Been thinking about these 2 games a looot (both WIPs, iirc), tried searching to no avail, so finally came here after nearly a year ;_;

The first game had, I think, a cyberpunk setting with (I only remember this one) a RO whose job was a security guard/camera operator essentially sitting in his room and looking at the cameras placed in every corner of the city nearly 24/7. He was an anxious mess who wouldn’t dare to go outside if not for the MC. He also had a cat.

The second one - MC was a hunter of paranormal, had a work partner that helped in the field and was fairly close to them. Their new task was to catch an unknown flirty vampire (turns out, they were a friend to a stoic mage, all of them crashed together at their place at, I think, chapter 8?, something involving scrying a location of ???, took a lot out of the mage). The ROs were the work partner, vamp and the mage (probably someone else as well whom I forgot).

The second one is When Twilight Stikes, and that has been moved to itch in twine. Author’s blog is here, if you were wanting to find a link to replay the game.

First one sounds familiar, but that’s about all I get in terms of an impression.

[Almanach]

Yep, it’s this one, thank you so much! <3

[Queen_Zelda]

The first one could be Stagnation or Cyberhaven, I’m sure there was one more…ugh, I can’t remember the name
Oh, I think it’s Shadowrun: Neon Fire https://forum.choiceofgames.com/t/shadowrun-neon-fire-major-update-25-february-2023-see-post-140-for-details/132365

Hi everyone,
I’m currently looking for the name of 4 WIPs. I last played them around 2 years ago so these are the only details I remember. I’m 100% certain I played the first one on the choice of games forum/dashingdon and number two and three on itch.io. I believe the fourth one is from the forum/dashingdon.

1. The mc is a vampire hunter. They are captured by the police who I think are unaware of the existence of the supernatural. The mc is accused of a string of murders (potentially the deaths of the vampires they had hunted or maybe they were framed for unrelated killings?). The mc might have been known as the crimson reaper? I think the mc might have a panic attack while in the jail cell and the officer tries to help?

2. The mc is on a ship potentially called the Argos. They are confined to a wheelchair due to an accident that claimed the life of their best friend. The ship receives a transmission from a sunken vessel and the mc volunteers for a mission to retrieve it. The submarine they are on malfunctions and they arrive on an island where they hope to repair it. Shortly after arriving on the island they meet an RO. They can either repair the submarine with the ROs help and return to the ship or stay on the island. There are multiple endings depending on if the mc returned to the Argon or stayed on the island and developed a relationship with the RO.

3. Solved: It’s called Queenstown Detective. The mc is a detective who is aware of the supernatural. They are not close with their parent who is the leader of a team of agents. The parent (I believe they used they/them pronouns and we’re not gender selectable) is unaware the mc knows about the existence of the supernatural. The agents are ROs and possibly supernatural. The agents are assigned a mission by the MCs parent to hinder their investigation and prevent them from finding out the existence of the supernatural. I think the game might have only included a prologue and chapter 1. You also had the option to choose if the mc walked with a cane. I know it sounds similar to Wayhaven Chronicles but I’ve played the series and I’m certain it’s not.

4. Solved: Trails Lead Home https://forum.choiceofgames.com/t/trails-lead-home-updated-12-20-19/47102
   Child mc is exploring the woods near their house when they are drawn to a clearing. They are knocked unconscious and awaken in a forrest (potentially in a different world). I’m unsure if they were attacked by a creature or just wander around confused but they are found by a man. He might be a knight or just wearing some kind of armour (I’m uncertain about this detail). Potentially has a weapon, maybe an axe or sword. I’m pretty sure this WIP only included the prologue.

This is all I can remember. Any help would be appreciated!

Might be Operator from “Attollo”, used to be here but it’s on itch now

Spellbound: A Ghost Story (WIP) [Updated May 22, 2024]

Spellbound: A Ghost Story is the story of a ghost, who is bound by a spell. (Hint: that’s you.) It’s primarily a fantasy story—both modern and medieval, with chapters taking place in both eras—with just a dash of mystery thrown in there so I can make it look like this whole thing was really well thought out. You play as a disembodied spirit—a remnant from a much older era, floating listlessly through your seemingly endless (un)life, before getting unwittingly caught up in a magical conspiracy, …

Is it this one?

Wait no I think this isn’t it

This one fits the description more!

Pilgrimage of a Ghost (Updated: April-02-2023) (WIP)

Pilgrimage of a Ghost Synopsis It does not matter who someone is, death arrives for everyone,. The headstrong and the weak-willed all end in the same way, with an everlasting blissful sleep. The same holds true to you. You are nothing but history in this world now, the one known as the “Savior of humanity.” A remnant of the past who have perished for nearly twenty years. The savior who have left the earth and everything in it. Yet why is it you are back to the world of the living? Why? Beca…

Nah. That one wasn’t either
Sorry I was also looking for the IF you’re looking for

[pomster]

Hey there has been a recent horror game where you go to a lakeside cabin with a bunch of friends and theres the possible specter of a creepy little girl but I can’t find it,can anyone help ?

[Miraskel]

I don’t know how to share the link in here, but are you talking about Such Happy Campers?

[M_M]

There’s a game where you played as a creature or something and your adoptive mother had you locked up for awhile, you spent most of your life with an RO who you met in an alley and they watched you kill someone later on you haven’t seen them and when you go to see them they ignore you and tell you you’re in their way another part I remember is there’s like a bully and you can challenge them to spar one of the options is you can kill them quick and easy with a scythe (never mind I found it lol, it’s called corruptant

[Barbarazinha]

Asking for a friend! Their description was:

I for the life of me cannot find this if again but basically mc goes on a cruise or something and has a teenage kid… their ex is o that cruise who is also the other parent of the kid as well and there’s like a few other ro’s you can get with too and basically the kid is fighting for the mc and their other parent to get back together and is basically a little heathen about it​:sob:
