Hi I was wondering if you had any sea based horror recs.

Hi Anon,

While we have a few rec lists for Horror, we didn't find many for Sea-based ones:

Bycatch by VOWTogether

The Edge of Dawn by @elysianfiction

No Demo:

Let Me Drown by @letmedrown-if

Waterbound by Waterbound-Interactive

[thewrothode-if]

Why every IF got a secret romance whos always male.

Gender-selectable secret RO's:

Love bites - @lovebites-if

The Decoy - @thedecoy-if

Evermount - @evermount-if

I don't think this counts, but there are quite a number of gender fluid secret RO's:

Roots - @roots-game

Zorlok - @zorlok-if

The Edge of Dawn - @elysianfiction

Drama-filled first meetings are my jam.

Wow, it feels funny to be included in this kind of thing, since I'm brand new as an author in the If community. Thanks @aprismaticodyssey

rules: write the latest line from any of your wips & tag as many people as there are words in the line. make a new post, don’t reblog.

A song of the Heart and Soul that they repeat to each other over and over again and as tears of joy flow down Arthur's cheeks and the mark of the Tear forms in the hollow of his left palm, his dark thoughts fly away, the shadows clear and the darkness disappears. The light has returned, steady, reliable and warm. The light has returned and it burns like a thousand suns.

Tagging as many people as there are words here might take a long time, but I'll go for it, (I bet most of the authors I'll tag will have already been tagged T-T)

so @llamagirl28  @kalorphic  @kingdoms-and-empires  @kal-writesif @phoenix-knight-if  @paleimitation-if   @anathemafiction  @milaswriting   @abyss-if  @elysianfiction I stop here because my connection is unstable, but it's your turn guys! 

[wulfs-mund]

So, the yeasterday's fanart of my mc Andromea, from teod if by @elysianfiction , now finished and colored. I am honestly kinda happy with how it turned out in all it's simplicity~

(My phone's camera effed some coloring effects but its fine 😂)

[haledamage]

so i discovered mind blind and shepard’s of haven through your blog and played through both of the available demos in one day lol, do you have any recs for other interactive stories (i think they’re called??) like them? :)

oh WOW, first of all I’m so glad you enjoyed Shepherds of Haven and Mind Blind, Lena and Jo are wonderful and very talented people and I’m glad I can help other people discover their work :)

second of all, you have come to the right place, darling anon! interactive fiction has become something of a passion of mine and there are so, so many amazing stories out there right now. I follow a lot of creators, and even limiting it to just works that have demos out or have been fully released, I have a list of like... 40 games, and even then I’m sure I’ve missed some 😅 I also have several rec lists bookmarked full of games I haven’t had a chance to play yet

gonna put the list under a cut because it, uh, got really really long (these are in no particular order):

[bitterpossum]

Me? Drawing my sarcastic asshat of an MC instead of focusing on my classes? It’s more likely than you’d think

Anyways this is Damien, my MC from @elysianfiction s game! So far they’ve ran away from Julian at every chance they’ve gotten, but it’s fine. Don’t tell them it’s a potentially-one-sided-hate-to-lovers plot

Go check out their demo if you like magical pirates! Because the writing is honestly amazing

[chatterbox010]

I've been missing Ronan something fierce these past few days so here's him and my MC being very much in love 💕

@elysianfiction

[anathemafiction]

Any new wips you would recommend/are planning to check out? I trust your judgement, dear author!

Hello! So I've shared my COG and HG recommendations here. And here I've added some of my favorite WIPs to an already amazing list.

But as for recent WIPs... Hmm. I'll admit I haven't been as active on the forum or as involved in the community as I once was, so there is a lot of WIPs I still haven't checked. However, since making that list I do have a few new ones that I recommend.

Just West of Autumn Boulevard by @westofautumnboulevard - Very strong start to a genre that I personally think is lacking in choice games: horror. I'm a massive fan of horror literature, and was so happy when I first came across this demo. It's not very long yet, but there's already a chilling part that left me wanting for more. 

Other than that? The building feels alive. I have nothing else to say.

The Porthecrawl Witness by @porthecrawl-witness - Another one that comes to fill a certain lapse in IF fiction. While it's listed as fantasy, I felt it leans more on the darker side of it. The atmosphere is incredibly well-crafted, heavy and present through the entire narrative. I could truly imagine Porthecrawl in my head, the gloomy town as alive as the MC.

The plot is very unique and creative, and it has one of my favorite things in choice games: We have a lot of freedom where it comes to shaping our MC. Overall a great demo, lengthy too.

The Rosy Ones by @rosykingdom - I haven't read the newest update (literally read the demo the day before the author updated 😄) but I liked it quite a lot. There is a character there that you meet immediately, and the way they are written is absolutely engaging. Creepy and eery, just on the safe side of insane. Another game I hope keeps up the darker flavor, and while the demo was quite short, I definitely bookmarked it. I can't wait to read the update when I have more time!

The Passenger by @the-passenger-if - Okay, this one is obviously not a new one. I'm also pretty sure everyone already knows it, but I had to include it on this list. I finally read the entire public demo recently, and welcome to my new obsession.

Per the theme of this post: Horror. But this one is cosmic horror. And my god, it delivers. The action scenes are incredibly well written, the MC is one of my favorites MCs of all time, and the supporting characters are so good, I would buy a DLC with just us hanging around that old basement, watching bad horror movies with Roach and Jonny.

As for demos I want to read and still haven't gone around to it, here:

The Edge of Dawn by @elysianfiction - It's fantasy. It has a cool aesthetic. Apparently, I can date a pirate. What more needs to be said?

Smoke And Velvet - I read the words cosmic horror, I bookmarked it. 

Demon Bound by @demonboundif - There are witches, dark rituals and you can walk in the land of dreams. More than interesting enough for me.

[chrysanthemumgames]

do you have any wips you’d recommend :o

Hrm. Well I haven’t actually played any CoGs in a while, but I’ll share my ‘to-try’ list of WIPs if that’s okay!

The Passenger by @the-passenger-if The Golden Rose by @anathemafiction The Edge of Dawn by @elysianfiction The Turncoat Chronicle by @zincalloygames God of the Red Mountain by @friendlybowlofsoup The Keeper Series by @keeperofthesunandmoon And then of course there’s the Fallen Hero series which I really obviously need to play but I think everyone’s heard of that one, as I’m late to the party, heh. 

I’m sure I’m missing tons more great ones; this is just like... my list of things that have specifically made me go “cool concept/wow people who have similar taste as me like this, I should try it at some point.” And I’m a bit isolated over here in my corner of the net with my obscure projects, so... I’m sure some of these authors have much more comprehensive rec lists, too. ^_^;

Also itty bitty shameless plug for uh... my other WIP (well, it’s half mine, anyhow). @diasporatheblog
