people are literally so boring a male character will kill 10000 people and steal candy from babies and theyll be like omg thats my king! but a female character is rude once and theyre like i hope she dies violently
Continuing with the after-party scenes with the friends/ROs, it's Galahad's turn now!
The scene branches based on Mordred's current state of sobriety as well as their dynamic with Galahad.
The Sober Mordred side of branching is all completed! The Drunk Mordred one, on the other hand, still has some options under construction. On the whole, the first part of all Drunk paths is done, and one of them is entirely finished. It features a confrontational Mordred who decides to make conversation just to pester Gally.
Approximately 72% of you prefer for me to release the update as is now, and roll out the additional changes outlined in my previous post in the coming months. As such, ABMfY has been updated on itch.io!
This latest update includes:
An additional lesson prior to Lesson 02 where Dr.Oleana teaches MC the intimacy of eye contact
Continuation of Lesson 03 where MC confronts Dr.Oleana about their true desire
Lessons 04: Kissing
Lesson 05: Contact
The fallout of the confession, and MC's emerging humanity
The first threads of the cost, and consequences, of creating a body made for you
I can't thank those that volunteered to beta read this update enough, including Hellionbiz and Doodledoos! Your feedback has been integral in shaping the trajectory of the story moving forward, especially now that we're seeing more of the relationship between Dr.Oleana and MC, as well as the secrets of the Luxfield Institute. Any feedback on this update as well as the proposed future additions is greatly appreciated!
I will be responding to asks as soon as I can. Thank you all for being so patient in the meantime <3 Happy Gaming!

Author's Note:
You might notice less of the branching scenes in earlier chapters, as I'm trying to prioritize making sure I'm able to finish the game (in a satisfactory manner) and tie up all the loose ends! In the end, I still might be able to go back and do a second-pass once the story is complete :D
As always, I can't wait to hear what you guys think!
At long last, the latest chapter is LIVE for ko-fi and patreon supporters! This is the one where things come to a head, and decisions have to be made... It also sets things up for the final chapter (before the extended epilogue).

End on a cliffhanger (I'm sorry)
I've also made some overall edits to the earlier chapters (as I had to streamline it and wrangle it into shape for possibly ending the game properly!!
I'm so sorry that it took a while. As always, I can't wait to hear what you guys think!
Public drop:
Chapter 5 will likely go public in about a week, definitely before Christmas. I've updated the earlier chapters on the public demo link, so that your saves will match up with the new chapter when it drops!*
*Do note that old saves will likely not work due to the edits made!
Please let me know if you encounter any issues, I will be polishing and fixing bugs over the next 2-3 days :)
It's here! Our Life: Now & Forever has gotten a significant update to its free demo. More childhood wonder and teenage angst await 😄.
This might be only a demo, but it has a massive script of 256,000 words (the version before was 161,000 words). Of course, it's not 256k straight through. There are that many words because there's so many alterations within the story based on your personality, relationships, and choices. You'll hopefully have fun playing not only once, but multiple times!
Everybody is welcome to post their thoughts, share screenshots, or stream the demo. We'd love to know what players think.

New Additions:
Step 1 Moment "Fancy Fun"
Remaining Step 2 Prologue Scenes

Revamped tutorial
Choice tracking system (star icons will appear next to choice options you've made in prior playthroughs)

The content that was already in the demo was: the full Step 1 prologue, the Step 1 Moments "Walks" and "Wheels", and a small preview of the Step 2 prologue.
Thank you for waiting as we put together this ridiculously big visual novel. Enjoy some memorable moments that are all your own in Golden Grove 💕.
Hiya Angels!! ^^ For those who are unfamiliar with how these mini updates work, most Day X.5 releases tend to focus on improving the pre-existing content and QoL aspects of 14DWY — rather than adding new content to the demo.
For Day 5.5 specifically, you can expect:
A new and improved character customisation screen
A massive UI and SFX overhaul
The highly anticipated release for the "14 Nights With You" DLC
Additional hidden secrets and achievements to unlock
And maaany more changes, which you can read about here!
A dark romance interactive fiction about love, and the problems.
“My ma told me a story, about merfolk. She fell in love with one. He had the most beautiful scales. But her attention drifted to another man.
The merman grew mad. She snapped out of the trance just in time to see her true love dissolve into seafoam.”
— signed, Neegan W."
The Premise
The waters can be a beautiful and dangerous place.
In 1939, war broke out when the Nazis invaded Poland. By 1941, America had joined the fight alongside the Allies.
The war ended in 1945, leaving behind wreckage, silence, and the sound of waves against ruined harbors.
Year: 1941-1947. The harsh times and the harsh waves during the time.
(side focus game; note, this isn't really my main focus but its rather my second focus and once this game is completed, its going to be for free.)
The town is called Mirel De Crown.... It's always been your home,
the waters had always been in your home, you had really known it, you met someone. A human, their legs which was different from your tail, you fell in love with them. (Merfolk Route)
the waters was something that you couldn't understand, you were told not to swim in them, your mother didn't trust it and you never did learn how to swim but you got saved by someone. A merfolk, their beautiful scales, you fell in love. (Human Route)

DEMO (still being worked on)
[current word count : 0k | detailed : 0k | last updated : day, month, year]
First off, do follow the studio on its brand-new instagram account!
Chapter 5: The Dream* is currently being beta-tested / edited, and will be released...
29 Nov early-release (Patreon/Ko-fi)
13 Dec public
Note: This version will include edits that had to be made for continuity and branching later on.
This will be the last update in choicescript, after which I will either be moving to twine or ink* early next year. This is because the company's T&Cs state that the choicescript language cannot be used alongside a game in a similar format e.g. visual novels
Trailer and steam page will be out: 28 Nov or earlier
Demo will be out on steam: 5 Dec or earlier
Do wishlist the Visual Novel, I'd be so very happy for the support—even if you're still on the fence about it, any momentum I'm able to build up for the visual novel would definitely help the overall financials (and possible funding) for myself/the studio, and for working on the text-based version/other games e.g. CT:OS, since I'll be publishing both!
Alice has just turned 20 and has managed to evade marriage so Far, but their aunt has finally had enough. Behind Alice's back, she has arranged a marriage for them with a nobleman or noblewoman, {depending on Alice's assigned sex at birth}, on the morning of Alice's 20th birthday. Realizing the scheme, Alice decides to run away from their aunt to the one place where they have always felt free: the hedge rose garden.
Queen Of Hearts II Valerie II 28 II She/Her
The queen is known to be childish and temperamental; she is also an absolute perfectionist; in her mind, if something is not perfect, it should not exist. In the past, when Alice last visited Wonderland, the queen absolutely despised them; however, things have changed now. The queen overwhelmingly adores Alice and wishes to keep them locked up in the palace. While she claims it's to entertain her, it seems like a half-truth.
King Of Hearts II Amor II 26 II He/They
The King counters his queen being a quiet, timid man, but beneath this exterior lies a kindhearted individual who only wishes to help. This often frustrates his wife. Despite his best efforts to recall Alice's previous visit to Wonderland, his memories remain hazy. The memories he should have and that his wife remembers continue to elude him
Mad Hatter II Raegan II 28 II He/Him
The Mad Hatter can be accurately described as an eccentric man who rejects logic and convention. While many may only see his madness, beneath it lies a clever and cunning individual who will do whatever it takes to achieve his desires. The Mad Hatter does not remember Alice's last visit, or he simply does not care enough to recall it. Instead, he focuses solely on the current version of Alice, obsessing over them, which drives him to make Alice feel just as insane as others say he is. Ultimately, all he truly wants is for Alice to stay and have tea with him for all eternity.
Cheshire Cat II Charlie II 20 II She/Her Or He/Him
The Cheshire Cat is a mysterious character who views life as a playful game. they remember Alice's previous visit and clings to their own curious, yet naive, perception of them. If this current version of Alice fails to meet their expectations, they react harshly and dismiss anything that contradicts their belief about who Alice is and how they should behave.
White Rabbit II Riley II 19 II They/Them
The White Rabbit is a nervous person with a focus on time. This white rabbit has never met Alice and seemingly doesn't acknowledge that Alice has been here before or really anything to do with Alice's past visits to Wonderland. Instead, they focus on the fact that Alice is running out of time, but they refuse to elaborate.
The Blue Caterpillar II Bell/Bella II 31 II He/Him or She/Her
The caterpillar is an aloof yet wise character who remembers everything and is eager to discover what Alice has become. This caterpillar is also deeply sensual, appreciating the things that bring them pleasure and joy. At this moment, their primary source of joy and pleasure is their dear Alice.
Spade Knight II Sebastian II 29 II He/They
The spade knight is a cold and calculating man, fiercely loyal to his queen and kingdom. He dedicates himself to serving them and fulfilling their wishes. He was never meant to interact with Alice; his role was to remain in the background. However, when Alice finds themself in desperate need of help, they realize that it would be a betrayal of his oath to stand by and do nothing. His actions are driven solely by his commitment to that oath and nothing more..right?
Twiddle Dee II Delilah II 20 II She/Her
Twiddle Dee is a cruel and blunt woman who sees no value in joking or being playful; she finds people with such traits incredibly childish and foolish (cough, cough, her brother). Recently, she and her brother took over the roles of the previous twins, and they lack experience with Alice and their past adventures. Based on her impressions of the current Alice, Twiddle Dee dismisses them as an oddity and fails to understand what is so important about them.
Twiddle Dum II Dally II 20 II He/Him
Twiddle Dum is a childish and impulsive man who seeks to please those around him. He is also an incredibly romantic person. If he receives even the smallest amount of affection, he will long for more. As someone new to his job, he lacks experience with Alice, but their interactions have piqued his interest, and he desires to know them better. Being in Alice's presence seems to alleviate the darkness of Wonderland.
Jabberwocky II ?????? II ??? II He/Him
The Jabberwocky is a cunning and manipulative creature that desires to torture and destroy everything and everyone. He remembers Alice very well and is obsessed with seeing how they have grown and changed. He longs to annihilate everything that Alice represents and to consume every ounce of their life and essence.

Step into the glittering ballrooms of high society, where wealth is envied but a title is everything.
You are the only daughter of a wealthy family about to undertake her first London Season.
Your great-grandfather made his fortune through trade; a fact the Ton has never let you forget. Two generations later, little has changed; for all your gold and gemstones, it is a title your family desires above all. And they are willing to sacrifice anything to acquire one, including you.
⬩✧⬩✧⬩✧⬩
The Season awaits;
Attend opulent balls and extravagant dinner parties, form connections with the influential, and enjoy operatic masterpieces from the theatre boxes of the elite.
Be the perfect debutante or a daring rebel.
Conform to the rules, or tear the pages from the book.
Participate in the infamous Marriage Mart.
Will you dance with a Duke, promenade with a Prince,
or do you dream of a different future altogether?
Beneath the gilding and the grandeur lie veiled barbs and cunning schemes, shrewd negotiations, and scandals waiting to happen.
Can you navigate the treacherous waters, or founder upon the rocks of your own choices?
Will you trade one gilded cage for another, or shatter the bars that confine you?
Duty. Power. Freedom.
Which path will you take when your future is at stake?
Create and customise your heiress (gender-locked female) with choices that shape both her appearance and personality:
Name: Choose your given name and family surname; how society will know you.
Appearance: From skin tone, height & body shape, to hair colour, texture & style. Decide how your heiress appears to the world.
~ Note: The story takes place in an alternate version of 1810 England, where people of all skin tones are fully accepted within high society.
Personality: Though raised to behave a certain way, your heiress will make choices that affect her disposition, and how others perceive her. Are you naïve & dutiful, outspoken & defiant, perhaps you are sharp & cynical.
Sexuality: Raised to be a lady and to marry for position, you have never had cause to question your heart. With your introduction to Society and the world beyond your upbringing, you may begin to wonder if this is who you truly are.
~ Note: The option to explore where your true attraction lies will only become available later in the story.
The Heiress – 18 – You
The youngest child and only daughter of a wealthy but untitled family, she has been raised to be a dutiful daughter under her mother’s careful eye. Sheltered within Wolfram Park, she is kept away from society, a choice made by her mother. Her debut into the Season, and society at large has been carefully planned for years. Her family’s hopes of a rise in station rest squarely on her shoulders.
Will she succeed where her brother, Fredrick, failed before her, or will she too be a disappointment?
Though raised to behave as a genteel young lady, life beyond Wolfram Park offers opportunities to discover her own mind.
Guide your heiress along three distinct paths, each with its own rewards and sacrifices:
Duty:
Marry the Duke, fulfil your duty, and become Duchess of Ravencourt, trading your dowry for a cold and distant union. Can you endure the match you were raised to accept, thaw the Duke’s heart, or seek something more within the gilded cage?
⬩✧⬩✧⬩✧⬩
Power: (Dark Romance with themes and situations not suitable for everyone)
Marry the Prince and rise above society’s expectations as his princess. But power comes with a price. Tied to a controlling husband, will you find love within your marriage or look elsewhere? Can you navigate the games of the English court, or be the one to set the rules?
⬩✧⬩✧⬩✧⬩
Freedom:
The night before your wedding, you run from the life chosen for you. The runaway has more freedom than the heiress ever did. Will the life you build be worth the one you left behind? Will you find love along the way?
The choices are yours, what will you sacrifice to shape your future?

Prince Niklaus – 32 – (Power Route 🖤)

⬩✧⬩✧⬩✧⬩
Rowan Redfern – 27 – (Freedom Route 💚)

Residing on the outskirts of Mistvale, Rowan keeps to themselves. Bookbinder by trade and herbalist by hobby, they are seen by most in town as an unsociable recluse. They prefer the quiet of their small cottage or the solitude of the woods when foraging for herbs.
Some say their hard exterior hides a soft and caring heart.
