My murder mystery game is out on Steam! It's like Clue meets Ace Attorney, if there were creeping monsters hiding in everyone's pockets.

The game is completely free, and won't keep you for longer than 2-3 hours, so it's perfect for a cozy evening in, or a session streaming with friends!

Hello all! I'll be at Grand Rapids Comic Con this weekend with some new prints and watercolors, including this big Good Omens painting!

Or, to put it another way, is the story of no destination still a story?

The Stede route was a tearjerker, but the Izzy route just got weird by the end tbh

An experiment in letter writing, meant to evoke the distinctly sweet homoerotisicm of Victorian and Edwardian literature. Follow the correspondence of two professors, in the months before one of them makes a decision he'll never be able to take back.

A visual novel with a cute mechanic: Slide the letters back and forth across the screen, to experience the time the letter is written, and when it is read!

About 10,000 words in length,

Some ability to play in-browser,

Donate or play for free,

Two scientists, one of them arguably quite mad!

There's a lot of new art and plenty more to read! Changelog below:

New placeholder sprites for other characters!

Re-written, fleshed out scenes. The current readable wordcount is over 10k!

A brand new GUI!

A new title screen! This one's really fun. It's just sketches, but I think there's a good vibe going.

WIP backgrounds.

WIP CGs

Credits on the About screen

An archive of all Sire pages is available to download! As ever, there is a free version of all eighteen chapters, so that anyone who wants to read it can get their hands on it. But we book folk do love a special edition, don't we? That's why I've also collected a version called The Omnibus Edition, which includes:

The 2006 first draft version of Chapter 1,

"Chapter 1.5," which would later be reworked into Chapter 2,

Anna and Susan's Hell Colored Glass run, which was part of an original character tournament in 2008, and included a villainous Pimpernel child,

Le Renard de la Patisserie, a connected comic with an Arsène Lupin child, and a cousin of Emile's,

Character profiles and extra sketches!

All that, at the decadent, luxury price of...$25 USD. Well, look, if you want to pay more, you're welcome to donate, and then it can feel like a luxury. Ooooh. Of course, patrons should check their inboxes, because they've also just been given a special link to get it for free. They got to read the whole thing early, and the get special treatment now. The pinnacle of luxury.

To download either version, click through to the itch.io page here.

When a popular illustrator is found dead, disgraced demonologist Harold Ludicael is hired to summon her ghost. But he’s hiding a secret:

Demons may exist. Imps? Sure, everybody's got one of their own! But ghosts? Those are as fake as all the other lies coming out of Ludicael's mouth. I traditionally painted all the backgrounds and characters. Please play it! https://alexisroyce.itch.io/murder-mystery

It is the year 20XX, and the needs of every single person you know are being exceeded.

Your top-notch, free healthcare includes cyborg parts. Everyone’s does.

And you’re due for an upgrade.

Our game is ready to play! Full Service Shop is a NSFW visual novel about a kinky, futuristic health clinic where lesbian and sapphic humans and cyborgs can switch out their naughty bits.

It has:

A cast of four technicians, each happy to share their kinks with you!

Pronoun choice (either female or non-binary),

Your choice of genitalia to be installed,

A safeword button- ask the technicians to stop at any time, and even vary up some scenes via communication!

An extras section where you can unlock and view CGs and extra art,

Twelve endings,

Roughly 70,000 words, with routes that branch off early, meaning each fifteen to thirty minute run can be completely different, depending on your choices!
