The Mark of the Devil (WIP, 84K words) [updated August 7th, 2026]

The update is here! It brings:
-11k new words of narrative added to the game’s total!
-New content warning, “Violence against children,” added to the warning label.
-New details sprinkled throughout Chapter 1, including more detailed character descriptions, new details about the abandoned house in the Explore Town path, and a quick overhaul of Jude’s introduction.
-A new stat in the stats screen! Players can now keep track of the Rot’s spread through the New World!
-New details sprinkled into Chapter 2 Homestead path, mostly for female MC.
-Chapter 2 Only child/ Hearthsend route has been unlocked, and the first 10k words are available to read!
-This background is entirely separate from the homestead path, and while it covers many of the same themes, everything will play out uniquely.
-So far, you can meet new characters, define how trusting your child MC is, and maybe learn more about what MC’s mom is getting into.

Thanks y’all for your patience, and I hope ya’ll enjoy!
