I really enjoy playing through tnp again like hi it's been a while

The Northern Passage has been updated!

09.25.24: This update consists of what was previously the prologue; it's now our new Chapter 1. Heavy edits have been made and various scenes have been rewritten, as well as overall improvements with the combat system and lore to make the game more cohesive.

The demo, for the time being, will cut off at the end of this new Chapter 1. My plan is to continue editing and rewriting Chapter 2 (what was previously the first chapter after the prologue) and hopefully rerelease that relatively soon, and then complete the new content update and release all of Chapter 3. This process, while tedious, is helping me tremendously with streamlining code & fixing previous mistakes made by me when I first started this project, and while I wanted to avoid going back and editing originally until much later in the process, this is just something that I had to do in order to move forward with Chapter 3.

I've also updated the content warnings on the game page and allowed for players to turn on warnings in-game, so you get a more specific list of warnings at the start of each chapter (like with Blood Choke).

As always, please let me know if you run into any errors, especially since part of this rewrite included me redoing a lot of my messy code and renaming passages, etc. Thank you everyone for your patience and continued support of this game over the years 💕

A portrait of my hunter from The Northern Passage!! Her name is Clarity for irony purposes

[snakesartblog]

returned to my hyperfixation on the northern passage and drew my hunter, moishe (i thought it would be fun and ironic to give them a "savior" name). they're so normal i swear

The most wholesome boy Noel from @northern-passage and my boy Angi. Some nice sketches and one angsty cause why not

“You lean against the heavy trunk of the tree, the branches shuddering above you, snow falling lightly from the motion. It’s almost here. You can feel it.”

Went back on my IF reading spree and found The Northern Passage and I just had to do a ref sheet of my girl.

Her name is Freya, she's tortured by the horrors (and a certain handler named Lea Chen but shh) and I love her very much.

She'll let you see her other tattoos if you're really nice to her ;)

Reblogs are appreciated, reposts are not!

Something is calling out to you, and you have to answer it.

Hey IF community ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧

I haven’t been around for a long time and all of the interactive fictions I used to follow are on hiatus or completely forgotten. There are few wips that are still ongoing (The Northern Passage, A Tale of Crowns, Attollo, to name a few) that I’ve been following for years.

Since I’ve already read all of the new chapters of the most known ones, can you recommend some ifs (wips) that already have some chapters in the demo?

Thank you in advance! 🫶

(here all the ifs I’ve already read)

Had the privilege of working on a headshot for @ice-knife of their hunter, Capella from The Northern Passage! ID kindly provided by ice-knife themself! [ID: a full-colour digital portrait of Capella, a fat white person, scowling at something off-screen. They have limp shoulder-length dark red hair, dark brown eyes with a ring of gold around the pupil, a prominent nose, and moles scattered across their skin. They're wearing a metallic grey gorget slightly covered by a grey fur mantle over one shoulder. The background is the same gold as in their eyes. /end ID]
