hey everyone,
after lurking for a while (and finally creating an account), i’m finally gathering the courage to share my project with you.
✦ title: Stillwater
✦ psychological horror | thriller | dash of romance
✦ 39k words so far
✦ wander a town stitched together by half-remembered dreams
✦ uncover the pieces of a life someone tried to make you forget
✦ hold onto yourself—or disappear into something else
✦ about:
You wake up in a place that claims to know you.The floors are warm, the tea tastes familiar, and the people smile like they’ve practiced it too many times. No one says the wrong thing. No one remembers the wrong thing. And when you start to notice the cracks, the world rearranges itself to keep you comfortable.
But comfort is a script. Repetition is a trap. And something in the walls is keeping score. The longer you stay, the more the town learns.
About your habits. About your mind. About who you used to be — and who you’re being rewritten to become.
✦ romance options:
• a man who shares your room and notices everything you try to hide
• a silver-tongued survivor who lies when it matters most—and tells the truth when it hurts worse
• a stranger with cigarette ash on her fingers and ghosts in her throat
• a spark of chaos in a crooked grin, daring you to burn the system down with her
• a quiet soul carrying hurt like it’s the only language he still speaks
• a companion erased from the script, still waiting in the margins for you to remember her name
✦ feedback:
i’m very open to constructive criticism and suggestions! anything you catch—bugs, typos, pacing notes, or just general thoughts—would help a lot as i continue building the project.
✦ play the demo
✦ tumblr for updates or silly stuff (i’ll be posting dev notes and answering asks there!)
thanks for reading—and i hope you enjoy your stay in Stillwater.
