New Chapter Released!
Hello again! Hope the spring has been pleasant for you đ·
With this update we're continuing the pilgrimage, which is turning out more dangerous than even the Crown and their companions anticipated:
The Crown will be revisiting an old place they had forgotten about, and learn more about the scars left on the land from the reigns of Crowns past
Whether you brought the water spirits with you or whether Eshkar is also there or not will give you additional variations and, depending on one choice you make this chapter, may lead to someone getting hurt
There will be more lore on the religious practices of Arsur, and an opportunity to customize your Crown's religious beliefs as well
A dangerous encounter shakes things up this chapter--is it a test of the spirits, or just bad luck? Either way, how your Crown handles this situation will not go unnoticed!
And last but not least, romance scenes with your chosen love interest, though the tone of these will be quite different considering the previous encounter...
Thank you for all your patience and support, I hope you enjoy the new chapter as summer approaches đ
For those that are unfamiliar with the game
A Tale of Crowns is a high fantasy romance story, told in the form of a text-based interactive novel with choice mechanics. The setting is inspired by Kurdish culture as well as other historical settings in the Middle East such as Ancient Persia, but it also draws heavily from other cultures and countries in the region.
Your character is native to Arsur, a vast empire overseen by a single ruler known as the Crown. Unlike traditional monarchies, however, the title is not inherited through blood. Whenever the Crown dies, their famed golden eyes pass on to the one chosen by the Spirits of this world to be the new Crown. In this story, your MC takes on that role.
There are four different love interests to choose from, whose genders will be customized to suit the preferences of your Crown. You can find more info about them on the blog page!
Also note that this current version of the game is safe for those 16 years and older.
Like the premise so far? Play it and give it a try! The entire game is free!
If you enjoyed the game, please reblog! Share it with your friends! Recognition and reader interaction is just about the only thing I get in return for creating it â€ïž
đŹ CHAPTER 4 UPDATE IS LIVE! âš
Itâs finally here! Thank you all so much for your patience and your amazing comments on the previous chapters. Chapter 4 of All That Glitters is now officially live!
Thank you so much for all the support, feedback, theories, asks, and kind messages over the past few weeks. Watching this project grow has honestly been surreal, and I'm incredibly grateful for everyone who has taken the time to play, comment, or share the game.

WIP: Legerdemain
DEMO: Not yet! â COG ALPHA â TWINE ALPHA (password: letmein)
GENRE: CYBERPUNK.
WRITING PLAYLIST: QOBUZ â YOUTUBE â SPOTIFY: GOTTA BE DONE BY SOMEONE ELSE. Playlist is, as of yet, in no particular order. Recommend just hitting shuffle on it.
Something is brewing in Eden City, Terra Nova.
You're not sure what, exactly.
Tensions between rival companies are rising to a fever pitch. Hostile takeovers have started to become the rule rather than the exception. Assassinationsâboth attempted and completedâon corpos are dominating the news.
And the gangs are following suit. The Cardinals and the Eastside Justicars are gearing up for an all-out war. And they're not the only ones. Word on the street says that the Kawada Matriarch is planning something that could shake up the very foundations of the city.
And something strange is going on within Barghest Security; something that relates to your siblings and cousin.
Something that's starting to stink of a boardroom coup.
â Legerdemain is intended for 18+ audiences and features (gun) violence, (optional) torture, body horror, potential suicide, murder, substance (ab)use, and (optionally explicitly) sexual content.
Features
Choose between first person or second person narration.
Semi-set MC. Customise their gender, sexuality, appearance, and first name. Or bypass all of that with the canon Velychko.
Befriend, romance, or make enemies of five different characters: the company driver (M/F), a paramedic (F), a stripper (F), a mechanic (M), or an employee of a rival company (M). And who knows? Maybe if you play your cards right, one or both parts of the dynamic duo might be interested.
Asymmetric relationships. Just because you like someone, doesn't mean they'll return those feelings. And just because you hate someone's guts, that doesn't mean they're not secretly in love with you.
Follow the company line, or turn your back on your family. Or get ahead of your siblingsâplay your cards right, you might just get away with a little fratricide.
Multiple planned endings.
Oh, and: try not to get everyone you love killed.
Good evening, citizens of San Justo. This is SJN TV with a developing story that is already sending waves across the the city.
After months of speculation, officials have confirmed has announced a new hero on the rise on July 7 at 18:00 EST.
Everyone has been already debating a crucial question:
âWho is this new rising star?â
For now, officials remain tight-lipped but anticipation continues to grow as the countdown begins.
This has been a SJN TV Special Report. Stay safe, and keep your eyes on the skies!

About the author
I donât drink coffee. Or alcohol. My inspiration for my work comes purely from the pains of cold sobriety. I broke my wrist when I was eleven years old and my handwriting hasnât recovered since, and I very often canât read my own notes when Iâm annotating books.
About the book
John Wick in space meets Lovecraftian cosmic horror.
Tell us a bit about what you're working on right now and your journey into interactive fiction
Iâm working on the sequel to my first interactive fiction game, I, the Forgotten One. Itâs a pretty beastly project, as the multiple endings diverge into three primary routes, so every chapter needs to be written about two and a half times. I started ITFO six years ago during COVID, and it was just a hobby for a while, but Iâve been attempting to take it more seriously with the opening of a Patreon, hoping that I can potentially do writing full time in the future.

Some of My Favorite Interactive Fiction Games / IF Recommendations
If you like interactive fiction, visual novels, choice-based stories, romance, angst, fantasy, sci-fi, drama, or character-focused games, then I really recommend checking out these creators and their projects.
There are so many amazing IF games out there, and I love seeing how much passion, creativity, and personality these writers put into their worlds. Some of these games have incredible romance. Some have mystery, horror, politics, action, or emotional character drama. Some are still works in progress, but even then, they are already worth following because the concepts, writing, and characters are so good.
Here are some fantastic creators/games I think people should check out:
@infinitestarsdev @jjdove @childrenofcain-if @bloodlines-if @altaiirif @stygiansun-totaleclipse @wraithbound-if @fableforger @ri-writes-if @infamous-if @oneknightstand-if @doriana-gray-games @sanguinesky-if @naturalecho @harlequinoccult @ashenwingraven @godsandvillainsif @god-syndicate-if @peonyb @kingdoms-and-empires @devilscreekballad @jinlai @pavedinashes-if @creativemindsif @night-market-if
Also follow @interact-if if you want to find even more interactive fiction games, demos, updates, and creators.
Interactive fiction is honestly such a fun space because you get stories where your choices, personality, relationships, and identity can actually matter. Whether you like romance, angst, supernatural drama, sci-fi, fantasy, horror, or just deeply written characters, there is probably an IF out there for you.
So yeah â go support these creators, play their games, follow their updates, and show them some love.

In the distant but still recognizable future humanity has overcome our differences. We are finally a united people. No longer divided by our nationalities, our religions, or our race, we call ourselves human. But we werenât alone. The Discovery War was unprovoked and bloody.  It took years of strategic diplomacy before humanity was allowed to join the Interstellar Concordat, and though there is an uneasy peace, not all our new allies seem to have our best interests at heartâŠ
The game features an intriguing narrative filled with mystery, action, and romance told from two perspectives. From one perspective, the player is an observer that guides the other characters and their choices. From the second perspective, the player takes control of their own character; a powerful Mah'Abeu shrouded in secrecy.
Who will you be? A Â confident flirt with an optimistic outlook on life? A timid loner with a flair for diplomacy? A bisexual envoy who never lies and likes to be in control? Or a shy yet loyal individual who always has a snarky comment at the ready?

Infinite Stars Is One of the Best Sci-Fi Interactive Fics Iâve Played
I have play-tested, provided feedback, edited code, and played many, many games. And Iâve got news for you about a game you might be missing out on: Infinite Stars!!
If you like interactive fiction, you should play Infinite Stars.
If you like romance, play Infinite Stars. If you like angst, play Infinite Stars. If you like adult content, play Infinite Stars. If you like games like Slay the Princess, Dispatch, Telltale games, Hosted Games, or choice-based story games in general, then genuinely I think you should give Infinite Stars a try.
Infinite Stars is a sci-fi interactive fiction/visual novel set in a future where humanity has finally united, only to discover we are not alone in the universe. After the bloody Discovery War, humanity joins the Interstellar Concordat, but the peace is uneasy, and not every alien ally seems to have our best interests at heart.
In the game, you experience the story from two perspectives. Sometimes you act as an observer, guiding characters and influencing their choices. Other times, you control your own character: a powerful MahâAbeu shrouded in mystery. You can customize who your character is, shape their personality, and decide how they interact with the cast.
One of the biggest strengths of Infinite Stars is its beginning arc. It honestly has one of the strongest opening arcs I have seen in an interactive fiction game. Even as a demo, it left me very satisfied, and continuing to play afterward was still a fun experience. Being able to customize my character, build relationships, interact with the cast, and slowly uncover the story made the game really engaging.
The game has mystery, action, romance, angst, character drama, and a lot of space-opera tension. The artwork is improving, and even more features seem to be in the works, including potential gifting mechanics, outfits, and dating-sim elements.
For me, this game hits because I love stories where identity, choice, romance, loyalty, mystery, and emotional intensity all matter. I like being able to shape my character, connect with a cast, and feel like my choices actually reflect who I am. Infinite Stars gives me that mix of drama, customization, sci-fi worldbuilding, and relationship-focused storytelling that makes interactive fiction so addictive. I also love seeing how the game is progressing seeing how much more exciting content there is, especially with the planets we will visit.
So yeah. Play Infinite Stars.

Surprise!
Sorry that I went AWOL, been doing a LOT of rewriting and started some different drafts for future chapters, I took some inspiration from some asks, (that'll be up soon, just wanted to get this out here first hehe), so there's your release date for the demo/prologue! I've had some writers block but honestly having some time away from the screen has helped, and now I'm just going to be doing some more tweaks/polishing. I promise to show more of my progress as this goes on!
However, I apologize for not keeping anyone updated on what was going on, once this demo/prologue comes out I will finally be able to get some rest and get some new juice to the brain.
As I bid adieu, enjoy this song that has inspired the very ending of the demo, see you all very soon!

Whatever he has planned will see you bleed out for good. Will end with you in an unmarked grave, your body decaying beneath the soil of a city you bled and killed for. It should be a comfort, to know you'll be free of the pain, of the burdens of existing as the kind of person you are in Vapolis but you're afraid still even as you surrender to it.
chapter 007.
experience The Horrors!
watch merc's mind break in real time
