BENEATH STILL WATERS.

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)

Features

Two Routes ; being either a human or a merfolk.

Romance Options: Four in total for this interactive fiction.

Choices: Gender, attraction, paths, and decisions affect the story.

Choose your endings, can you stay with your lover or leave for another?

Genre & Content

Horror

Mature/Sexual themes

Merfolk tales / fairy tales.

Choices of gender, attraction, paths and endings.

LINKS

[CHARACTERS] a link to the characters.

[PINTEREST] a link to the pinterest board.

[SPOTIFY] a link to the spotify playlists.

Note.

this game will contain some trigger warning contents like war themes such as gore, death, some mentions of "nazis" and slurs, racism, sexism, pstd, cheating, self-harm. suicidal ideals.

this game will be short since I plan on there being 5 acts!

This game will be free to play for the demos and once it's a completed game.

DEMO (still being worked on)

I don’t know how some people can say they love my stories meanwhile they leak paid content and/or ask for paid content on discord. Either way most of the paid content will eventually be public, you really can’t wait?

You think that just because you struggle to pay for a subscription that no one else is struggling in this economy either. Pirating is fine when it’s a big corporation because they have money to spare but it’s shitty when it’s just one indie creator

Stuff like this is what makes me really not want to even look at my work much less write it

lthestoryteller-deactivated2026

What I'm going to say, will be in all seriousness. This is just not right, no matter what you people tell yourselves.

I'm cool with piracy; I truly am, and I will be the first to justify such a thing. When YouTube makes you pay for YouTube Premium, and still gives you ads, wanting to make you pay for YT Premium plus or some shit, adblockers, piracy, all of that is more than justified. When giant, mega corporations want to suck you dry, while making you pay a subscription for a program that should be a one time purchase? Piracy aaaaall the way.

But when you take from people, who are in the same boat financially as you? Not only is that bad taste, but it's just not right, and you should legitimately be ashemed of yourself.

Now, I want to say a quick hi to certain folks, such as, well, let's start with you, Badasswithabigheart. I think I got that right.

Listen, I don't see why would you make screenshots of the things I say; I really don't. I think that I'm quite logical, and that, almost, everyone can agree with me. Logic is sound, and what I say simply is. I mean, I haven't been called a voice of reason for nothing. But, in case you wanted to take a screenshot of this as well, and share it in your safe corner of the internet, sure, be my guest. Hi to you all!😁 I see you, and I know you!

Now, I will not be herding anyone from here to your little platform, unless the masses want me to. That goes for two other folks! Hi Thomas, and hi, ah, Heckett? Is that the name? Hell, I think it is; I really can't be bothered to go and check now; I apologise.

While I haven't really dug deep enough, to see if the first mentioned person here did anything bad, you two, were quite naughty, wouldn't you agree? I'm sure Jude's actual fans would really like to know the details about the two of you, but, I respect the privacy of people, and so, unless explicitly asked, your little safe haven is safe with me. But distributing Jude's content illegally? Really? I mean, I'd understand if Jude was a fucking millionaire, but I'm pretty sure she's not on the Forbes list, and so, what the two of you are doing is just awful. Especially you Thomas. You should be ashamed of yourself.

This is a very real and a very big issue in the IF community. Authors, such as myself and others, provide you with FREE content, and since we live in the fucking capitalistic dystopia, we offer Patreon, and on there, we offer additional content, along with everything else, to justify the mere few dollars that we ask of you, IF YOU EVEN WANT to donate that. No one's making you buy any of that, nor is anyone going to punish you for that. You will get the whole story, and side content will be unavailable; so fucking what? What's the justification, in taking the little that we ask from others, so we could share our works, and not fucking starve, while providing you with content?? As I said, NO ONE IS FORCING YOU TO PAY. You will get a whole story FOR FREE.

I believe that I'm talking on behalf of all authors when I say this, but we understand that people don't have much, in this fucked economy. I know that when I opened Patreon, I wanted to add there as much as I humanly could, just so I could justify the 6 euros that I've put as a subscription fee. I need the money, and the economy from where I'm from is especially fucked, even more so than in America. So sue me for that, I guess.

We authors are trying to do what we love, and you make us want to burn al of our works to the ground; and for what? So you could play stuff that you didn't pay for? We are not asking you to give us an arm and a leg, nor are we going to not publish our stories to the fullest, just because someone, anyone, doesn't pay us. We are doing what we love, and that is more than a reason for us to publish things for free. This is, believe it or not, also a business, and if we want to earn a little from it, is that so fucking bad? Are we such fucking assholes, that you feel the need to steal from us? You are probably better of then most of the authors here for fucks sake! And yet, here you are, taking even the little that we have.

I don't doubt that some of you will not agree with me. Feel free to say whatever the fuck you want to say about me, but I'm only speaking the truth here, telling what is right. As I said, I don't mind the piracy, but when it is justified. As long as what is done is right, I've no problems with it. But this? This is not right, and you all know it.

Say whatever you want to say about me. Bitch about me all you want in your servers and your chat rooms, I don't care. I am right, and the majority of people on here can see that, and know that. Not only authors, but fans as well. You're making them feel bad, because you get the benefits that they'd like, but unlike you, they choose to do what is right. It's insane this world that we live in, but has the audacity to call me the insane one. Fucking incredible.

DEMO (TBD)

The Night Library is a standalone fantasy horror IF and work-in-progress. It is intended for mature audiences.

Content warnings: violence, psychosis, homophobia, intersexism, death, body horror, mentions of suicide, religious themes, and several others.

Genres: Urban fantasy, Horror (occult, cosmic, supernatural, psychological), Mystery

ABOUT

Ohio, 1995: It's been six months since your parent committed suicide and three months since you were contacted about a job you never applied for.

Now you work as a Page at a library nestled in the heart of downtown - except this isn't the one you remember from your childhood. This library occupies a non-descript building on a side street ... and only opens its doors after the sun sets.

Out of your depth in this strange, shadowed world, you must navigate new rules, old tensions, and what - if any - relationships you foster with colleagues struggling against their own inner battles.

One thing you know for certain is that the dusty shelves and worn carpets of this place hold secrets both numerous and inscrutable, and they will do anything to escape.

FEATURES

Play as male, female, or genderqueer.

Customize your name, appearance, pronouns, and sexuality.

Learn about the parent you've lost, establish the relationship you shared, and discover what drove them to the depths of despair.

Struggle with depression and isolation; will you let it define you or spur you to action?

Determine what you desire most: is it the secrets of the past, the promises of the future, or perhaps something darker and more primal?

Form alliances for good or ill, make deals or break pacts, and suffer the consequences of playing a game of power older than the place you call home.

ROMANCE OPTIONS

Dead by Daylight: Unraveled - Minor Update

Foremost,

I designed a new banner for Unraveled!

And I'll be using it here for important update posts :3

I've revisited the game and discovered it's riddled with bugs and a bunch of nasty, redundant code. What a damn mess 😭 I'm working out some kinks and cleaning it up behind the scenes. It'll be better by the time I get around to updating.

ALSO:

I'm drawing a new splash screen for the game, and I'll be doing a random draw to determine whose special wanderer gets to be on the new cover <3

As seen here:

How to enter!

Reblog this post WITH an image of your Wanderer's avatar, as well as any additional details I might need to know.

Don't worry if you already had your Wanderer drawn by me! You can still enter :D

I'll be choosing a random winner in... a week? Maybe two... Don't quote me on that.

Aaaand that's all! Deuces ✌️

debauchery-if

(kinda IF recs again because I replayed IFs for three days now + writing) feel free to share IFs, you cried at as well because I don't want to feel lonely also new recs and old ones because I am being honest on which one I cried on.

I wish to make an IF and this IF, a sad but yet loveable IF that makes me cry and feel disgusted and sad also did I meant sad ? Also don't question my feelings and why I cry. (and if you saw me post this by accident, no I didn't)

Like....

@reinekes-fox 's IFs, I just finished replaying his game again and I cried, fuck ass game (in a lovely way not in a mean way !) and I love it... Like omg, cried. I love the ROs from what routes I played, gonna play some more and MC, I love you.

@apt502-if, Why Rainn ? Rainn low-key made me cry when they broke up with us (well that prologue or episode 1..?) But anyways, I cried, I cried. Also love the ROs, and Rainn, I will be at your bottom up with your damn Tesla.

@darkfictionjude, for every IF, I cried. For WWC, I cried because of the angst and MC, like the romance options (for lock-ins), fucking imre, and for EC, it was at the start, omg I cried because I just finished going to a funeral and that's why it was confusing to me, sad emotions. For OHYS, it was everything, oh my babys !

@suevi-if, Lowkey almost cried during the prologue because... It was sad and I felt bad and everything else in the chapter one, for some reason felt sad. I cried and felt embarrassed afterwards.

@untitledrockstar-if, I cried because of everything, I cried mostly for MC and it kinda reminded me of my past relationship (R n MC) and how messy it was so I cried also can't wait for more angst !!

@tales-of-wocdes, I cried for MC like my baby (asif, I ain't picking the worse options out there) and I love the characters, can't wait for more fluff and angst because everything is amazing !

@infamous-if, I loved it. Every chapter I played, I shred tears like it was sad and I was like omg, my emotions are weak AF but I like it and I love every chapter can't wait for more angst !

@woesoftheirwretched-if, cried, I played this game after I finished crying / playing tales of wocdes and low-key made me sad like sigh, also pearl hehe...

@the-six-that-thrive-if, I forgot why I cried but I do remember this game and I cried but I forgot why, so I gonna have to cry and replay this game once more but I do remember playing it !

@the-kingshound, well what I can say ? I cried, I forgot again but I remember crying and talking about kings hound when I was with Pearl, we were making fun of me crying.

@vapolis, I do remember crying on this one and this made me feel like happy and sad also a bit freaky because I cried while doing the uh bj scene because I started to cry before that for some reason and just picked that option while laughing and crying. emotions are weird.

@pavedinashes-if, cried and I am glad I gave this a chance because of the angst and I cried, it was worth it and I cried also I wanna replay it because I need to try out new options.

@pressplay-if, this made me cry which obviously why its on this list, I cried because of all the scenes plus I love all the characters and the backstories also mb, didn't mean to bodyshame.

@neondreams-if, I just felt sad and happy playing game, I cried and I did feel embarrassed because all the sudden I cried and laughed while playing also love it.

@cosmic-writes-if, it makes sense why I cried. I need to replay the game though because knd of forgot but I do remember crying and following and with santdun. uh santdm, oh my gosh I can't spell, low-key my eyes still hurt from crying but it was all the sudden when I cried.

@theoperativeif, I cried also I love my white-haired bf (well lover to be gender neutral) but I loved the game also love the choices and love MC, like pick me /hj and its an interesting game.

@llamagirl28, Mordred and everyone there made me cry, I love all the characters and it just makes me feel sad and cry, also I love Arthur and our dear dad (I love him) and mwah.

@ohmotherwhereartthou-if, I cried because of MC and mother, it was lovely to play this game and an amazing game, like I cried. I cried. He cried, we crode.

@jinlai, amazing game and I forgot why I cried and it was all the sudden but amazing game and I have to replay it, I love it and the title interested me when I first saw it because Idk.

Just had an ask about making an IF based on slavery in the 1800s, where you can choose to play as an owner... omfg or a slave..... like ????

#pearl.txt #woesoftheirwretched #personal #traumafairy.txt

debauchery-if

People are overhyping you like why get hopes up? You didnt even fucking release the demo and omg.

I don't know what to say about this because like ??? Sorry, I guess but like... I am confused, like I am making the demo and its around 15k, if I didn't want to make an IF or decided to stop then I wouldn't make this blog but if I decided to stop and just quit then I will keep this blog up and post the demo then leave. Like, making me rush isn't going me make me like doing this anymore or just continue going on, rushing makes everything messy or makes the writers just not feel great.

I feel like some people are becoming to lose sight that if writers are humans and they have a things to do and take care of, we aren't like supermans. (someone should make an IF about being an IF writer lolol, I should... the darkside of it and the IF writer(mc) is a great grandchild of Velvet, making a sequel on prequel and sequel for this IF, debauchey lol— just full of darksides of things)

Just calm down, mwah !

pearldvs

Just horrible lowkey tho..sigh -_- like wtf gang

#interactive fiction #love ur if writers

debauchery-if

I swear if this sucks then I will regret waiting for this long, interrsting concept love it but if it sucks well then it sucks.

(like sorry if i am being rude but i am being blunt and truth)

well.... hmmm, I dunno what to say lowkey but your grammar is wrong...

*interesting / *truthful from what I notice but anyways, if it sucks to you then sorry ? Like, I am going to make a version where it sucks harder like I am going to speak in glibberish terms (fym, sybau, kys, mksdiybt) !

🍖 How to Build a Culture Without Just Inventing Spices and Necklaces

(a worldbuilding roast. with love.)

So. You’re building a fantasy world, and you’ve just invented: → Three types of ceremonial jewelry → A spice that tastes like cinnamon if it were bitter and cursed → A holiday where everyone wears gold and screams at dawn

Cute. But that’s not culture. That’s aesthetics.

And if your worldbuilding is all outfits, dances, and spice blends with vaguely mystical names, your story’s probably going to feel like a cosplay convention held inside a Pinterest board.

Here’s how to fix that—aka: how to build a real, functioning culture that shapes your story, not just its vibes.

─────── ✦ ───────

🔗 Culture Is Built on Power, Not Just Style

Ask yourself: → Who’s in charge, and why? → Who has land? Who doesn’t? → What’s considered taboo, sacred, or punishable by death?

Culture is shaped by who gets to make the rules and who gets crushed by them. That’s where things like religion, family structure, class divisions, gender roles, and social expectations actually come from.

Start there. Not at the embroidery.

─────── ✦ ───────

2.🪓 Culture Comes From Conflict

Did this society evolve peacefully? Was it colonized? Did it colonize? Was it rebuilt after a war? Is it still in one?

→ What was destroyed and mythologized? → What do the survivors still whisper about? → What do children get taught in school that’s… suspiciously sanitized?

No culture is neutral. Every tradition has a history, and that history should taste like blood, loss, or propaganda.

─────── ✦ ───────

3.🧠 Belief Systems > Customs Lists

Sure, rituals and holidays are cool. But what do people believe about: → Death? → Love? → Time? → The natural world? → Justice?

Example: A society that believes time is cyclical vs. one that sees time as linear will approach everything—from prison sentences to grief—completely differently.

You don’t need to invent 80 gods. You need to know what those gods mean to the people who pray to them.

─────── ✦ ───────

4.🫀 Culture Controls Behavior (Quietly)

Culture shows up in: → What people apologize for → What insults cut deepest → What people are embarrassed about → What’s praised publicly vs. what’s hidden privately

For instance: → A culture obsessed with stoicism won’t say “I love you.” They’ll say “Have you eaten?” → A culture built on legacy might prioritize ancestor veneration, archival writing, name inheritance.

This stuff? Way more immersive than giving everyone matching earrings.

─────── ✦ ───────

5. 🏠 Culture = Daily Life, Not Just Festivals

Sure, your MC might attend a funeral where people paint their faces blue. But what about: → Breakfast routines? → How people greet each other on the street? → Who cooks, and who eats first? → What’s considered “clean” or “proper”? → How is parenting handled? Divorce?

Culture is what happens between plot points. It should shape your character’s assumptions, language, fears, and habits—whether or not a festival is going on.

─────── ✦ ───────

6. 💬 Let Your Characters Disagree With Their Own Culture

A culture isn’t a monolith.

Even in deeply traditional societies, people: → Rebel → Question → Break rules → Misinterpret laws → Mock sacred things → Act hypocritically → Weaponize or resist what’s expected

Let your characters wrestle with the culture around them. That’s where realism (and tension) lives.

─────── ✦ ───────

7.🧼 Beware the “Pretty = Good” Trap

Worldbuilding gets boring fast when: → The protagonist’s homeland is beautiful and pure → The enemy’s culture is dark and “barbaric” → Every detail just reinforces who the reader should like

You can—and should—challenge the aesthetic hierarchy. → Let ugly things be beloved. → Let beautiful things be corrupt. → Let your MC romanticize their culture and then get disillusioned by it later.

─────── ✦ ───────

📍 TL;DR (but like, spicy): → Culture is not food and jewelry. → Culture is power, fear, memory, contradiction. → Stop inventing spices until you know who starved last winter. → Let your world feel lived in, not curated.

The best cultural worldbuilding doesn’t look like a list. It feels like a system. A pressure. A presence your characters can’t escape—even if they try.

Now go. Build something real. (You can add spices later.)

For the non German speakers: It's essentially a petition against having everyone who officially changed their gender in a special registry, so it'd be pretty much a registry full of the data of every "official" trans person and every non binary person in Germany.

They could share this data with everyone.

As a comparison, there is no such registry for marriages or other name changes. So why should there be one for trans people?

(P.S. If you aren't from Germany and/or don't speak German and still want to fill out the petition, you can! Simply put in your name and area code, choose your country and put in your email. A confirmation link will be sent to you, you just have to confirm it, and that's all!)
