murder at play house

[murderatplayhouse]

What would you do if someone offered you one million dollars prize by just playing a board game called the Werewolf in a house with the other ten players? Sounds easy, isn’t it? If you have the werewolf role, you will pick a player to “kill” every night. If you have the villager role, you have to find the werewolf and try to survive.

However, there’s something that they didn’t warn you about; if you’re picked by the werewolf at night or voted out by the players, you will be killed.

Play as male, female or non-binary; straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual or pansexual.

Customize your appearance and personality.

Romance one of ten unique characters. Be careful; one of them is the werewolf :)

It’s a character-driven and romance focused story.

Be loyal to your team, or side with the werewolf.

Try not to die.

you missed steph's birthday :(

I really wanted to make an edit for her, but my health issues didn't let me 😞

[murderatplayhouse]

At first playthrough I got convinced it was Ren. But after spending some time with them I realized I was wrong. You don't want it to be so simple, huh? I will find the werewolf just you wait!

Waiting... 😏

[murderatplayhouse]

When does the second chapter arrive?

I will release the new demo next month, I promise. I took time out to focus on my health so that's why it's delayed. I can't wait to go back to writing :)

[murderatplayhouse]

I just finished to read your WIP and I'm hooked!! I already made a bunch of theories in my mind... the worst outcome for me is if Jamie is the werewolf, so I'm pretty sure they are 😆 Their offer to be a team is kinda suspicious...

Glad you enjoyed it!

Well, you'll have to wait and see 😏

[murderatplayhouse]

if the ROs were in an orpheus/eurydice situation, would they look back or make it out without looking?

Would look back:

Nate, Brian, Delilah, Madison, Jamie.

Wouldn't look back:

Ridwan, Connor, Aera, Steph, Ren.

[murderatplayhouse]

List from more cuddly to least cuddly among the RO/S.

Very demanding 🤨 From most to least:

Nate

Jamie

Madison

Ridwan

Delilah

Connor

Steph

Brian

Aera

Ren

Do you have any tips for learning twine/guides you used? I'm trying to learn it to write a story and I'm dying

Twine Cookbook and SugarCube v2 Documentation helped a lot! I've also used Chapel's Custom Macro Collection.

You can find more resources on this post.

Code diving also helps!

[murderatplayhouse]

When does the second chapter arrive?

I'm done coding chapter two on Twine. I will drop the new demo after I finish playtesting it :)

OH MY GOD THE EDIT IS AMAZINGG!! ARE YOU AN INSTAGRAM EDITOR?

Thank you!! Yes, I used to make movie/tv show edits and post them on Instagram. I’ve deactivated my account last year :)

[murderatplayhouse]

I'm so glad I found this story, it gives me squid game vibe, I LOVE IT!

I have a question the werewolf door still unlocks? Even if I'm a bodyguard and somehow I end up protecting the wolf? I hope I'm not hitting spoiler zone.

Glad you like it!!

The werewolf’s door never stays locked. It’s unlocked after everyone passes out.

[murderatplayhouse]

Question! Without counting the maybe MC being the wolf playthrough, does who the wolf is change depending on choices/variables or is always the same person?

It’s always the same person :)

[murderatplayhouse]

IT’S MADISON’S BIRTHDAY!!!

Madison’s one of the most challenging characters for me to write because we have almost nothing in common, but it’s what makes her special for me. Without giving spoilers, the only thing I can say is that I can’t wait to explore and develop her character!

Here’s a quick edit to celebrate her birthday :)

[murderatplayhouse]

Question: So, is the werewolf going to kill some of the ROs?👀

Some? Haha, all ROs are in danger, anon 👀

[murderatplayhouse]

How am I supposed to pick one RO? There are so many I wanna romance at once and I just...I can't pick! :(

Play multiple playthroughs and romance all of them :)

[murderatplayhouse]

Have the werewolf killed someone before the game

Nope :)
