[WIP] demons like you and I: a dark horror fantasy romance *updated profiles*

Thanks for your feedback! Yess non-binary inclusive games! :tada: I’m still trying to figure out how to best do the messages. If I do put important messages in the stats screen, I think I’ll have it that when you get a message, it’ll let you know in game.

Coding isn’t mine either, I’m still just learning as I go along haha

And thank you, I’m very excited for you guys to get thoroughly spooked :wink:

It’s pretty hard for me to like a WIP from the first page but that’s what happened here!

The narrative has a nice flow even if it’s a little descriptive and the texts/emails felt very authentic. I’m only sad that the game ended before I could see the reaction to my MC’s hug attack.

Also :eyes::eyes::eyes: I’m very interested in this particular feature:

Hi! Please don’t click this if you want to find out as we go along, but I don’t want anyone to play anything that might upset them. Yes, there will likely be major character death.

Hello everyone! I don’t know how to update the description, but I’ve updated the game! It now goes up to ~almost~ the end of the prologue! I’ve yet to decide where I want to end it (it was meant to be upon arriving at Selene’s house), but I might change it.

Also, does this even count as a prologue anymore? It was supposed to originally set the scene, but it’s much longer than I thought it would be :sweat_smile:

Anyway, please let me know if there are any errors or if there’s a problem with the flow. :slight_smile: I hope you enjoy!

I took some time to play this, and this is wonderful. The prose is elegant, descriptive, and gives me a nostalgic feeling that’s appropriate for the tone and setting. Really great stuff. This line gave gave me chills: ā€œThe portrait of dad and I inside had become waterlogged and our smiles had turned into terrible bleeding watercolour grimaces.ā€

I would say there’s a front end of description/exposition at the beginning that gives this a more novel-esque feeling rather than game feeling at first blush. I enjoyed the prose, however, and so I appreciated this.

Looking forward to how this develops.

Aww thank you so much for your kind words! And yes, I like writing long descriptive paragraphs to set a scene, and it will be a very prose heavy game so it’s probably not for everyone :sweat_smile:
But I’m glad you liked it!

I don’t really appreciate the end where it said you’re being watched I just got done watching horror movies and I’m a big baby so now I’m going to be looking over my shoulder the whole time

I love this WIP tho

Thank you! I’m happy you’re enjoying it so far. It is going to get much more gothic, when you go to the underworld, so buckle up! :laughing:

Wow, you’re on a horror marathon… I’m glad you’re enjoying it!

There is not enough romantic horror out there! That’s both horrific and romantic. Most horror romances focus more on the romance than the horror aspect so I’m curious

Also if you don’t mind me asking, how will you go about character customization?

Its an enjoyable read. I liked the touch of being able to read messages. It gave a nice dose of realism and depth; though I cringed so hard at the turnitin. More horror there then anything so far :smirk: . You can possibly tag it as mystery as well.

Hmmm, I’d say this is equal parts horror and romance! (At least I’m intending for it to be) and I’d say it’s also medium to high fantasy, starting from mid next chapter :slight_smile:

And of course! I kno there hasn’t been much customisation so far, but that will change next chapter, it you mean appearance and sexuality etc, if you mean something else, let me know!

I’m glad you’re enjoying, and don’t be sad yet! :stuck_out_tongue: that’s a good idea - I don’t know how you do that, but I’ll give it a go. The next chapter will definitely have a skip to option though, rest assured!
