"Unnatural Season Two" Now Available!

Hosted Games has a new game for you to play!

Sometimes all you can do is delay the inevitable. A new organization has risen from the ashes of the Supernatural Response Team, and you are its leader. Take command and decide how it evolves.

Unnatural Season Two is a 700,000 word interactive horror novel by Sam Kabell, where your choices control the story. It’s entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

Encounter Unnaturals both old and new. You’ve dealt with vampires, werewolves, and zombies before, but how will you handle new and previously unknown threats? How will you handle the awakening of once dormant Unnaturals, an ancient danger beyond anything anyone living has faced?

Reforge bonds with the surviving members of the SRT and make some new friends and allies, too. Interview and recruit up to four potential teammates: Avery Daye, a detective who specializes in missing persons related to Unnatural cases; Jennifer Maki, a former veterinarian trained to deal with animal-based Unnaturals; Cassandra Brown, a former member of the Boston Branch of the SRT—or have your actions in Season One set you up to recruit a mysterious returning companion? Import your UnNatural Season One save to find out!

As you move deeper into the Unnatural world, your journey continues to be shaped by it. Past is present as further investigation into your heritage brings new revelations to light. Evolve your power and learn more about the origins of the Azure, potentially discovering how their powers shape your own.

People look to you to protect the innocent from these intersections where the everyday and the supernatural collide.

  • Play as male, female or nonbinary; be straight, gay, bi or choose to focus on friendship instead.
  • Continue your romance with your paramour from Season One or pursue one of five new love interests.
  • Guide Silver Cross Incorporated to protect the innocent from foes human and Unnatural alike.
  • Manage your funding between four departments: research, security, technology, and training. The responsibility and consequences are yours.
  • Choose which cases you take on and who you bring with you—will you bring the best person for the job or will you bring someone you want to get to know better?
  • Utilize an updated threat level system to identify which cases your team takes on, maximizing their chances for both success and survival.
  • Focus on your powers, or rely on your technology. Not all cases need to end in violence; maybe you can talk your way out?

Your time for following orders is done. In Unnatural Season Two, it is time for you to lead.

Sam developed this game using ChoiceScript, a simple programming language for writing multiple-choice interactive novels like these. Writing games with ChoiceScript is easy and fun, even for authors with no programming experience. Write your own game and Hosted Games will publish it for you, giving you a share of the revenue your game produces.

Congratulations on the release @Nocturnal_Stillness, it’s been a loooong time since the first part.

It’s been WAY too long. Been working on this since March 2014. I ended up with a delay to rewrite Season One for the Steam release and then I suffered a fire in May 2015 and it took me a while to get back into the swing of things as the desire to write was snuffed out. Just glad I kept at it.

It’s just past 2am here and I’m still buzzing from the excitement of release day. I’m getting this done now so I can submit the fix asap. I don’t want it ruined by a bug I’d already fixed once.

Just finished six playthroughs of this game and I love it so much! I prefer this over the first book. Epilogue Three hits different for me. :face_holding_back_tears:

That said, I’m having a hard time romancing Avery. Also getting epilogue four. Please help!

Holy…wow, thought I would never live to see a season two of this series

Definately need to start back unnatural

I find myself becoming he and referring as son so many times even I am a woman⁣ :smiling_face_with_tear:

The gender variables should be right. Can you give me an example of one of the scenes where it was wrong. Just want to make sure its not flavor text that’s the issue.
