So the story goes, that for the first twelve days of every year, ten souls leave for the coast and nine at most return.
Welcome to Hale, home to some of the most affluent families in the country. You'll be spending the new years here in an attempt to reconnect with your estranged father after years of no contact. Alongside trying to revive a dead father-child relationship, you just might find yourself partying with the kids of some very wealthy people, so have fun! Make connections! Just don't have too much fun, or you might find yourself roped into a road trip you might not return from.
The ghost story goes like this: on a secluded beach a few hours east, a spirit sits hungry and vengeful. When ten visit her, she possesses one, and gives the others twelve days to figure out whos soul has been occupied. On the twelfth day, the possessed must die, otherwise a certain insatiable spirit will return to Hale in their body.
But that's just an old tale for kids to tell around a fireplace.
✬ Stay alive: you don't want to be suspected as the possessed and lose your life. So interact carefully with the world around you.
✬ Customise your pronouns, sexuality and appearance, your backstory and personality traits. Decide who you are as a person, and curate that through your choices.
✬ Explore relationship dynamics with the cast. With only twelve days to build rapport with the group, choose wisely when making friends and enemies. With six romance options (and two polyamorous routes) to pick from, delve deep into a love that death could pull apart.
✬ Ghosthunt. Pay attention to your peers, how they act and what you see, it might just save your life. Get opportunities to talk to the ghost, learn about her life and death..... just don't get possessed yourself.
✬ Play through a game that you can replay. Trust the words you read, because every choice you make has a consequence.

Returning from an ivy league college out of state, Carrington Wiley holds Hales secrets close. Last year's twelve day trip left him undeterred, and now he's spearheading your groups trip back to the haunting shores. With a stoic exterior and a keen judgment, Carrington is anything but an open book, and wont hesitate to point fingers. He should be keeping his reputation clean, given the weight of his family name lies on his shoulders, but there's something too alluring about a taste of possession.
Carrington is 6'4, black, and has a muscular build that showcases his physical affinities. His hair is cropped short, eyes dark and features sharp. There's something deeper to his gaze, and a frown is almost always pulling at his lips. He has a tattoo of his ex girlfriend, Matilda's, last name on his ribs.
The black sheep of the Hale family, Everest thrives on risk. Though they don't wear the towns name with honour: after an incident with the police, Everest's been staying on Lex's couch until the heat falls away. They're itching to return to the coast- some call it thrill seeking, others call it bloodlust. Though Ev is a flirt and tease, their cocky demeanour masks a struggling soul underneath. There's a grey area in which Everest's morals lie, mirrored in their willingness to bring their little sister along for the ride.
Ev is 6'2, pale and covered in tattoos. Though they are pretty lean, their baggy style covers a lot of their frame. With black hair and dull green eyes that always look a bit tired, Everest is disheveled at best. Though they always prioritise having a good time over looking good doing it, they have a natural beauty that helps them get their way more often than not.
Alexander 'Lex' Nieland, 20 M
Working for your father, and on the path to make a name for himself in a town where only the wealthy thrive, Lex is a kind soul trying to keep his head down. Though surrounding himself with friends like Carrington and Everest doesn't help his case. After experiencing the events of last years twelve days, Lex is adamant he's never going back to the coast. But, Hale is merciless on the people pleasers like Lex, and his friends are damn good at inciting the worst out of him.
Lex is 5'10, white, and has dirty blonde hair that curls loosely. His hair is short, but long enough to fall into his eyes, which are a pale blue. He's not as muscular as Carrington, but not as lean as Everest, Lex settles in a nice average middle ground. There's something kind to their presence, something easy to trust.
Once best friends with the victim of the previous years twelve days, Louis, Sarika's on this trip to step into his place and figure out what really happened on the coast. She's loyal beyond the word, and will stop at nothing to bring justice to her best friend, even though she's going in blind. Still a party girl at heart, she's not opposed to enjoying herself while she can- and she's more than happy to show you how the girls in Hale do things, even if they arent technically legal.
Sarika is 5'2 and of Indian descent. She has long dark hair and dark eyes that just burn into the hearts of others. She's mid-sized, and dresses to impress- she's not going to let her family status go unmirrored by her wardrobe. Sarika has a small flower tattooed on the inside of her left wrist.
Undeniably fucking weird, Monday believes they can speak to ghosts, and has begged Carrington and Everest to allow them to join this years cast of potential victims. Eccentric and too spiritually engaged for their own good, Monday is adamant that they can connect with this 'ghost on the coast', and maybe turn a soul hungry killer into a friend. They're strange, sure, but they know how to party fucking hard. Never a dull moment with Monday.
Monday is 5'9, and mixed, black and white. They have shoulder-length brown curls that are often tied back out of their face. Their eyes are hazel, but often obscured by sunglasses they tend to wear even indoors. Monday has an out-of-sorts style, often wearing clashing colours and patterns. Theyre knows to wear a monotone suit one day and then a neon dress the next, you never know with Monday.
Matilda 'Mattie' Carmine, 21 F
Once a Hale party girl, Mattie exchanged the glitz for textbooks after the haunting events of last year. Living elsewhere now, she's determined to leave the past behind, troubled by what she's seen on the beach. However, her ex-boyfriend Carrington persuades her to return for another round of the twelve days. Though reluctant and abrasive, Mattie's mission is clear: survive and lay the ghost to rest once and for all. And also give Carrington as hard of a time as possible.
Matilda is 5'7 and white. Her eyes are brown, and sharp. She's got long blonde hair that darkens at the roots, and she usually wears it out. Mattie has a resting bitch face, but when she smiles it is bright and all consuming. She has a very in-touch style, though she is practical with what she wears. She also has Carrington's last name tattooed on her ankle.
The others joining you on the road trip (non romanceable):
Everest's little sister, a force to be reckoned with when she isn't glued to her phone. She wears the Hale name with pride, weaponizing it whenever possible, and has convinced Everest to let her and a friend tag along for the twelve days. In exchange, she'll talk to their parents about letting Everest return to the Hale house. A diva with a sharp tongue, Sarah sees this trip more as a vacation than a potential bloodbath. She can be a sweetheart at times, I promise.
Sarah is 5'4, with shoulder length mousy brown hair and bright green eyes. She still has braces on, and wears whatever is in fashion and most expensive at the time. People joke she never wears the same thing twice... because she doesn't.
Sarah Hales trouble magnet best friend is convinced that ghosts aren't real. She's coming along to debunk the stories of possession and necessary death, and expose the trip as an excuse to get away with murder. With her father being chief of police in Hale, she considers herself a mini-detective, and may be more hinderance than fun over the twelve days.
Finley is 5'0, and a redhead. She's covered in freckles, and has piercing blue eyes. She has her ears stretched, but no other piercings, and a tattoo of a dove she got on her 18th birthday.
TWELVE DAYS is rated 18+ due to strong themes of violence and possession, graphic language and explicit sexual scenes.
