Ripped is a supernatural romance of sorts about found family. You play as a person in way over your head.

Demo: Ripped [08/28/23]

Word count: ~3,404

You’ve finally moved into your new apartment, in a new town, with a new job, and a new life. No one knows who you are or who you once were. A fresh start. A clean slate. A calm, normal life. At least, it would’ve been if the end of the world didn’t decide to loom on the horizon. The veil between your universe and another is being ripped apart, and it’s not accidental. Fate has played the kind role of dragging you into it, and you were never one to give up. So, now you and your new acquaintances, some intentional and others not, must save the world. Or die trying. Maybe you can try the normal life again after.

Oh, and the supernatural is real.

Mostly customizable character (name, gender, appearance, etc)

Romance one out of your three apocalypse-stopping companions.

Get haunted. Stay haunted.

Stop the apocalypse. You're in total control, no strings. Maybe.

Mat

[They/Them]

A tall, well-dressed bar owner, and your soon to be employer. With warm dark eyes and long dark hair, they look as if they could talk their way into, or out of, anything. They seem to have a gentle smile for everyone, and a job offer for any who asks. Even with their evidently deep pockets and a mysterious background, this majestic stranger seems to have taken an interest in you. Or maybe you’re just a pity hire.

Alexander “Axel”

[He/Him]

A short man you’ll often see sitting at the bar, long after closing, nursing a soda. He has a tendency to wear a cap over his straight bleached hair, and a jacket that’s too nice to be his own. He never seems to talk to other patrons, but his eyes are constantly watching. Most of your interactions with him start and end with his signature glare. If not at the bar, he's either off on one of his trips, smoking out back, or disappearing upstairs and into the owner’s supposed apartment.

Roman

[Gender Selectable]

Your friendly neighborhood spirit. or nuisance, that’s (accidentally?) become a part of your life. Regardless of whether you wanted them to or not. With an almost constantly shifting appearance, amnesia, and a knack for possessing technology, this spirit is thoroughly stuck to you. They won’t be leaving you anytime soon. At least, not by choice.

Hi 👋, My name is Mohammad, and I’m reaching out in a moment of desperate need. I’m a father of three young children living in Gaza, and we are caught in the midst of a catastrophic war. Our home is no longer a safe haven, and the future here seems increasingly uncertain. 💔

I’ve launched a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $60,000 to relocate my family to a safer place where my children can grow up in peace and have a chance at a brighter future.

Unfortunately, my previous fundraising efforts were abruptly halted when my account was terminated without explanation. However, I remain determined to keep fighting for my family’s safety and well-being. 🫶

If you could take a moment to read our story, consider donating, or simply share our campaign with others, it would make an incredible difference. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety and a new beginning. 🙏

Thank you for your time, compassion, and support. ❤️‍🩹

The entirety of Chapter One has been uploaded! It clocks in at over 16,000 words, with the option to set your sanity level, take retribution against your captors, and choose your past relationship with Sam.

If there are any errors, feel free to send in a message! I would love some feedback.

For this Disability Pride Month, I saw a post that was shittybad and it made me angry. So have this

[atomicrats]

I love the demo for ripped and I'm so excited for the premise aswell as all the ROs. I was trying to stalk the tumblr and read some asks but people be sleeping on this it seems.

So can I please ask the most basic of basics which are for some RO facts if it's not too spoilery. Can just be fav color to fav food type vibes. But I am very interested in all the routes. Especially in seeing how the hell you can romance a ghost 😅👀

Thank you so much❤! I like to believe the inaction is for the best seeing as I've only recently developed a good idea to what I'm doing and who the characters are😅.

As for the ask:

Roman loved spicy food. They played soccer and games like Galaga, Frogger, Pac-Man, Centipede, etc. Hates spiders with a passion. Loves those cheesy romance flicks. Drove stick. They're asexual. They're favorite colour is orange.

Mat liked soups. Was sick a lot as a kid so they never got into sports, but they do know how to play a stupid amount of instruments. They wanted to be a parent but has since reluctantly given that up. Reads a lot, never really got into movies though they always watch them when Axel asks. They have an interest in astronomy. Love to dress up for no reason. They're favorite colour is constantly changing.

Axel has a sweet tooth. Wanted to play sports but never had the chance. Currently trying to learn more about cars. Dad jokes. Loves comedy/action movies and comics. Caffeine addict. Trying to work on his drinking. First time he cut his hair short was with a pair of craft scissors, Mat later did their best to fix it. He's trans. Likes weird hats. His favorite colour is blue.

Thank you, again, for such a sweet ask ❤

Beneath the Mirror Tree

Summary

Far below the fae realm lies the realm of the goblins. A place of broken glass, devoid of food and light. Mushroom forests dot the horizon while creatures tunnel above to a world they do not belong. When a fae princess and an eternal vampire fall into the goblin realm, they will need to rely on each other to survive. But no one escapes the goblin realm. Not without a price.

Beneath the Mirror Tree will be posted once a month with early release available on Patreon. The story will be available digitally through Itch.io and upon completion, will be bound for purchase.

About the Authors

Zinnia is also the author of the interactive fiction The Night Market, and Poppy is a digital artist specializing in interactive fiction characters and D&D OC's.

Virtue’s End — Game Update 31 August 2023

Updated the Patreon version of the game with around 10k~ words of new content!

Patrons get 1-week early access to any game updates, as well as high-res versions of my art. The public version of this update will be released on 7 September 2023.

[virtues-end]

The public version of the game has now been updated:

✦ Play Virtue’s End

Unlike the previous update, which focused on specific branches, this one brings new updates to all variations. It also includes a fair bit of character customisation--which entails a lot of code--so please let met know if you come across any errors, bugs, or other weirdness!

[ DEMO ] [ INTRO POST ]

TERRA came back to tug on your leash after all.

she's here! finally!! the demo is 25k words long, which entails the entire prologue as well as most character customization. you'll be pulled back into the field and meet almost all love interests as well as the director.

this demo includes explicit violence and a graphic panic attack (which you can skip) , so player discretion is advised.

[atomicrats]

I have finally updated the demo! It's not much in the long run, but it is something. The prologue has been rewritten and chapter one (in full) has been released.

If you're interested in everything that's changed (for the most part) then read under the cut.

Either way, here's the demo!

Word count: ~3,404

The prologue has been rewritten in its entirety (again), and so has some details such as who the PC is and what they do.

Mat is no longer gender selectable! They are locked as nonbinary. I realised that's what felt the most them. If that make sense. Axel is no longer gender selectable either. He is now a gender locked (trans) man. Same reasoning as before. Roman is now the only gender selectable character. I feel as if I finally got who the characters are down now (for the most part).

As of now these are the only changes made to the demo, but, as I've said before, this story is in its early stages of development. Things will probably continue to change!

Let's hope the next update doesn't take as long as this one did, but I would like to say that this is a passion project for me. It's something I do when I have the time and energy.

Anyway, thank you for indulging me. I hope you enjoy.
