#twc book 1

[seraphinitegames]

Hi there! First, I just wanted to say I absolutely love Wayhaven Chronicles - playing/reading through the books is one of my comfort activities and I’m so happy to have found this series. As I was playing through book 1 again, I had a couple of questions about Murphy. I thought that Murphy stole then identity of someone else at the start of the game - is Ethan Murphy his real name? Sorry if I misunderstood! Also, if Murphy is caught at the end of book 1, is he being held at the facility near Wayhaven? We saw how they were punishing supernaturals in that book - are they treating Murphy the same? Totally understand if it’s too spoiler-y to answer that!

Murphy is not his real name, no. But he's not exactly forthcoming on giving up his real name, so he's still known as Murphy.

And yeah, Murphy is currently being held at the facility and is caged if he was caught. I'm sure the MC will get a chance for an encounter at some point in the future again...

Thank you so much for the asks and wonderful message! <3

Ah yes, reacting negatively to your young child not having fully developed motor skills during the few hours you were home during the evening...great parenting.

As much as I rag on UB's lying skills, and will continue to do so, this is actually fucking excellent manipulation. Both through word choice and body language. By leaning away from Farah and lowering her voice, as if to share a secret, Nat places herself as being on the Detective's side in this "us versus them" situation. She creates this alliance with the Detective of "you and me, we are the reasonable ones here" and it works so well because so far, Nat has consistently been the only member of the team to not alienate them immediately. She's leaning into this "good cop" persona as opposed to the rest of UB, who have either been directly hostile or intentionally provoking/trolling. By doing this, she's able to slide under the Detective's suspiciousness, and she cements the position by adding in her concern over the Detective's feeling as if she is trying to undermine their investigation (which is exactly what she's trying to do). This is also really clever because it essentially gets the Detective to argue for her side as well. Then, by saying it was the Detective's idea, she continues the theme of "conspiring" with them by giving them the credit for this obviously good idea -- which, in this particular version, we know the Detective to believe it to be a solid plan.

While this doesn't necessarily end with the Detective duped into thinking they originated the idea, it does leave them feeling as if this is a plan they cooperated and compromised on. And most importantly, Nat is on their side.

The fandom knows that Nat is smooth, particularly in romance, but I like the side to her that can be genuinely sneaky as well. Ava, frankly, bungles the situation by putting the Detective on the defensive and antagonizing when UB really needs to gain unquestioning trust from them, which, because of the nature of their mission, they cannot get through telling them "hey, we're trying to save your ass." Nat takes Ava's screwup and turns it into the bad cop. In addition to showing off her own prowess, this also gives an example of the team working together effectively.

Also, what's really clever about this as well, is that it establishes Nat's character of being the softer touch foil to Ava AND as the member of UB best able to integrate with human society. On this playthrough, I am noticing that Nat seems to be the one with the fewest slipups, despite being the one who most wants to tell the Detective the truth. Having read as far as the beginning of Book 3, it really highlights how much Nat tries to be as human as possible that she is the only one to really pull it off convincingly.

hi, i'm new here in tumblr (joined 3 months ago i think?) but it still feels late when i realized i am free to fangirl here 24/7 with a chance of finding others in the same fanbase...

so, i've dug up screenshots of computer generated prompts (back then, they were a trend) i made from i think 2 years ago featuring @seraphinitegames Wayhaven characters including my own mc!! and i just want to put it out here because of how characteristically accurate they are (⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿⁠)

if you're a fellow fan of The Wayhaven Chronicles, lemme know what you think! And enjoooooy~~

[info: here's my straight woman mc, Laira, so according to the game's code all ROs are male namely: Adam, Nate, Mason, and Felix. Main RO is Adam, and best friend is Mason.]

1. Emotional Vulnerability

I think it would be a little odd for Adam to open a topic like that but seeing how he opens up to my mc in twcb3, i think its okay hihi and gosh Mason seriously?? you didn't have to attack your best friend like that!!😤😤

2. What's Free?

another mason.jpeg

When this came out I SWEAR i shrieked out!! Just how fitting was Felix to Adventure and Nate to Knowledge but then again we got my best friend here as the punchline and again it's soooo him. Even my mc and Adam they are so in-character!!

3. Hide 'n Seek

adam.jpeg hihi (he's so cute here)

nothing, it's just a wholesome scene here with my boyfriend(??!!) RO and best friend and i just cant help picturing out the other three actually playing the game tho THEYRE SO CUTE!!

4. The Coffee Maker Breaker

ft. Bobby HAHAHAHAHAHA idk how i thought to include him but this one's my favorite i find it the most hilarious 😂😂😂

I actually pictured this out happening in the station (since I've also selected coffee as my mc's favorite drink, so i have a coffee maker in the station) and we know how much A loves to break things (literally and figuratively). Though in the real sense, UB wouldve just kicked Bobby out and not have a chance for this kind of conversation but it's just as what-if scenario and it's cute and funny mwehehe plus my mc admitting its her fault just to get it over with is so on point help 😭

Anyways, lemme know what you guys think!! 💗💗 if you want to try yours, i purposefully did not crop the website name there so you can check it out!

and to Mishka, i love your work so so much! (you might have received a direct message in instagram from me around the time i finished book 1 and trying to look for book 2 hihihi)

Ok I finally got the guts to be hit by a train of emotional damage and to see for myself what the fuss among A-mancers is all about.. but I can’t take it serious when I see references like this:

I wish my brain worked some other way🤷‍♀️

here’s a profile for my morgan romancer with attachment issues and the personality of a feral racoon you find in a trashcan at 3am. random trivia below the cut

started up her own amateur PI business in college with bobby while they were dating. was later arrested for stalking, with the addition of defamation, public disturbance and trespassing on her record

really didn't enjoy being an officer and was reluctant to accept the promotion (nothing a decent raise couldn't do to convince her), but found that she didn't mind being a detective

doesn't do well with blood

drank and experimented with some drugs during college, but cleaned up her act after joining the police force

does not and will not trust the agency

honestly so many issues surrounding trust and relationships (even platonic ones)

no education past college — was made to join the police force right after graduation

outfit vibes are baggy pants, a ratty flannel over a cropped singlet, and super scuffed boots

Hi I’m very new here and this may be a stupid question but where can I play the first three books of the game? <3

No question is stupid!

Here's a link to where you can find them all:

Seraphinite Games Website—Book Links

Hope that helps!

Thank you so much for the ask! Hope you enjoy them if you get the chance to play :D

Me replaying the N route and being surprised when I fall for them…AGAIN.

Like, Agent Sewell might be one of the best IF RO ever created I’m being SO serious.

Love them from ♾️ to ♾️

But also N when they discover they have to share ALL of them to be in a successful relationship with the Detective…including their past

So, I recently got back into The Wayhaven Chronicles—A CYOA text adventure story for those not in the know—and was curious about thoughts other people on some of the major choices.
