Thou art Morgan Le Fay, sister to King Arthur, apprentice and student to Merlin the Enchanter... for now.
A great destiny steeped in magic and mystery has been foretold to you, and the unnatural forces of this ancient world are guiding you towards it, whether or not you are willing. Having escaped heartache and woe, you are currently at liberty to enjoy a merry life at the court of Camelot, surrounded by kin and comrades. Raise Ywain, your little son, learn from your ever-disgruntled warlock mentor, go on fantastical quests and romance the knights of the Round Table, or someone else entirely!
Customize your Lady Morgan's name and appearance, study rituals, raise your skill in different domains of sorcery (warcasting, trickery, divination and more), shape your relationship with your child and much more in this text-based fantasy interactive fiction based around Arthurian legend.
View Morgan's family tree.
Love interests (see their links for appearances):
Merlin (m). He's old, prickly, sometimes mean... but less so to you than others, which is gratifying. His study is your sanctuary, his wit your sparring partner. You suspect your tutor is hiding a great many things from you, so pursuing him could be a bad idea. But perhaps you cannot resist an attempt to wiggle your way into his affections.
Sir Gawain (m). The bastard brother to King Lot, who's your sister Morgause's husband... small world. He is Sir Kay's best friend, though the two could not be more different. Fair Gawain is charitable, popular with the men at arms and so charming that he's widely known as the Maidens' Knight. Not that he is without his shortcomings; you would know, given he has somehow become a dear protector and confidant. Perhaps you still want him.
Sir Galahad (m/f*). An upstart knight from a backwards province, he should be fated to obscurity, but possesses strange talents and seems to carry a touch of the divine. Sir Lancelot brought him to court, so impressed was he with the young lad. Maybe you knew him long before he was presented to the Round Table, though. Maybe you've seen him in your dreams. If only Galahad, put off by your witchcraft, didn't hate you to the point of obsession...
Guenevere (f), the golden Queen of Camelot. Your brother's wife. She's the most beautiful woman in Albion, and the most talkative, and perhaps, paradoxically, the loneliest. She desperately wishes for your approval, but with the way she acts sometimes, it's hard not to wonder what else she might be wishing for.
Ninianne (f). The Lady of the Lake, ancient and most powerful fairy in all of Albion. She is the mother of Sir Lancelot, has tested your brother's might and appears to share a complicated history with Merlin. She's a mystery and seems to know much more about you than you can be entirely comfortable with.
Friends and family:
Ywain (m). The son you had by the husband you hated. Ultimately, your relationship with the child is up to you, but as he matures, one thing becomes certain: Ywain is nothing like his father. He's his own beast, strange and emotional, diligent and good.
King Arthur (m). Your half-brother who is five years younger than you. He found you, rescued you and now loves you as though you'd known each other your whole lives. He dotes on your son, aiming to provide you both with the best possible life and asking for naught but fealty in return. He's a sanguine, adventurous and chivalrous young man who was pushed in the role of regent extremely early in life, but is bearing up under the expectations.
Blanchefleur de Beaurepaire (f). Your best friend and penpal with whom you entertain a teasing mentorship. When first you meet, she's but a young girl, but already whip-smart, sharp-tongued and too persuasive by half. Over the course of your acquaintance, she has grown into the epitomy of grace and confidence. She still looks up to you.
Sir Perceval (m). The youngest man to ever be knighted at the court of Camelot and easily the weirdest. He's his own brand of innocent; blunt, cheerful and with the attention span of the average housefly. He is Ywain's favorite playmate.
Queen Morgause of Orkney (f). Your eldest sister. You haven't seen her since she married King Lot. You know that she's had two sons by him, but that's about it. Something about her is different, not at all as you remember... but then again, it's been such a long time.
Queen Elaine of Garlot (f). Your middle sister. Much like Morgause, you lost sight of her after her own marriage to King Nentres. She's passionate, wistful and a hopeless romantic. She seems hopeful that your sisterly relationship can be rekindled.
Setting: this is not a precise retelling of any particular Arthurian cycle and lots of liberties were taken with the characters. Albion is a highly fictionalized version of/inspired by 12th-13th century England and Brittany.
*literally. This character's gender identity is complex and ambiguous and will be explored in the story. Please be kind and don't send asks pressing me to put specific labels on Galahad. Outside of the game itself, he/him will be used for this character.

FLESH REVIVAL is a narrative-driven paranormal and found footage horror game featuring themes of witchcraft and mythology, psychological distress, and mature, disturbing subject matter intended for 18+ audiences.
a self-built website with a youtube channel, created by you and your two best friends, EDEN and WINONA, where people online can submit requests involving paranormal activity in hopes of it being handled by you three investigators.
provided with footage, most clients donāt ask too many personal questions. which is a good thingā¦ for now.
anyway, want to communicate with ghosts? sure. need them banished from your home or business? a little difficult but not impossible.
when a new request comes in all the way from north dakota, thereās no way youād turn it down. because this isnāt a case of one ghost. or even a family of them. itās an entire location filled with unidentified entities.
camp hillbird in halvrest.
submitted by spitkisser00 (who is this person?), the request goes into detail about the town but focuses on camp hillbird, known as a hotel and camping resort. tourists and locals alike have reported seeing "specters" wandering the land.
the county police donāt bother with anything supernatural (they do not believe. not surprising.) so spitkisser00 turns to flesh revival instead.
they made the right call. after all, the resort and town would be in the hands of a ghost-hunting tech expert, an occult specialist, and you. the clairvoyant who can see the otherworldly with a membrane filter under your eyelids.
inspiration derives from franchises such as tales from the gas station, supernatural, silent hill, the ritual, the blair witch project, phasmophobia, and ghost files.
WHO ARE YOU ? fully customize yourself. choose your gender, pronouns, appearance, clothing style, personality, the skills you specialize in, and level up your clairvoyant ability.
GEAR UP FOR THE UNKNOWN. test out advanced ghost-hunting equipment, including new ones aided by the ahlstrand family.
DOCUMENTATION. own a detailed journal of everything you encounter. record evidence and their patterns, determine what kind of entities youāre dealing with. you will also get to read your self-entries.
TRUST NO ONE (OR DO ?) interview the residents of camp hillbird and the beyond with a voice recorder. there are open books, others are not as their secrets run deeper into the truth.
LEARN THE OLD WAYS. study protection and warding practices under crane, and collect items, incantations from āeccentricā individuals. you will have an inventory log of what you keep.
INVESTIGATE HOTSPOTS. search every corner thoroughly for hidden clues, strange markings and objects. the more you find, the better.
TEAM UP OR GET CLOSE. partner with others to unlock new paths. along the way, relationships can grow from platonic to something more if you can manage them.
ROMANCE OPTIONS. RESIDENTS OF CAMP HILLBIRD
AKSEL / ALEKSA HAUSTEIN [M or F] The Reckless Lagomorph. the one who sent your team to camp hillbird in the first place. yes, they are spitkisser00. A works as a tattoo artist and is an avid fan of your paranormal youtube channel, fascinated by every strange thing flesh revival manages to uncover. with a reckless appetite for adventure and a talent for making bad ideas look fun, they insist on joining the investigation as your self-appointed guide.
PERCY / PIERCE DILLANE [F or M] The Bleeding Hound. a traveler returning to halvrest to help at their uncleās auto shop, while also taking on fishing work around camp hillbird to keep their family afloat. unfortunately, they also happen to be someone from your past. as one of the people tied to the ugly history you and your friends would rather forget. further telling that the sharp-tongued P wants nothing to do with your investigation or with you. though somehow, bad luck keeps forcing the two of you into each otherās orbit.
TAKANE / TAKERU MEGURO [F or M] The Hillbird. the owner of camp hillbird and the architect responsible for much of its design, making them the person standing closest to every secret buried beneath it. however, for someone so elegant and frustratingly unreadable, T is being haunted. if anyone holds the truth about camp hillbird, it's them. you just have to be persistent enough to get close.
MAVERICK WARDWELL [NB] The Crooked Stag. a well-known regular at camp hillbird with a jack of all trades reputation. hunter, horse rider, professional bargainer, you name it. charming to a dangerous degree, maverick trades secrets for favors. whether they are helping you or simply entertained by you remains unclear.
SALEM ABERNATHY [trans M] The Sentient Vulture. a ranger assigned to oversee camp hillbird, meaning he also has to deal with you and your friends. salem spends most of his time patrolling the grounds and making sure no one gets themselves in trouble chasing ghosts in places they absolutely should not be (aka you guys). he's armed with too little sleep and the patience of a man being tested by the universe.
congratulations on your new position at between & beyond logistics. you work as a delivery driver, and your customers areā
okay, your customers are monsters. you deliver packages. they deliver something else entirely.
[play the demo here]
this is an explicit, campy IF about a very normal delivery driver on very abnormal routes. every chapter introduces a new monster. every monster has opinions about your arrival. things escalate. your boss is choosing not to investigate.
a note on the format: this isn't a game where every choice reshapes the story. you have some agency, but a significant portion of this is a fixed experience. the perversion is non-negotiable. you're here to witness it as much as direct it. if you're looking for a game that bends entirely to your will, this probably isn't it. if you're looking for a game that will do things to you regardless, welcome!
play as a man or a woman, gay, straight, or bi
encounter 11 monsters, each with different exciting abilities
12 possible endings, including one that's a secret option that we're not discussing yet
a surprisingly emotional through-line underneath all the smut
gerald
content warning:
dubcon elements, entrapment, bloodplay, breathplay, predator/prey dynamics, degradation, loss of control, altered state due to narcotic substances, mild body horror, dubious logistics, and one (1) parliamentary goblin situation
this is a passion project born from my thirst for monsterfucking. i've wanted to play something like this for a long time and couldn't find exactly what i was looking for, so i'm making it myself. i hope it scratches the same itch for you that it's scratching for me :)
Chapter One is currently released for free! You can play it right now on the link above, totally available for the public!
In these chapters you will...
Lose your temper.
Talk about your dreams.
Become a delivery person.
Do your laundry.
Talk to pretty people.
Find a cat.
Get shot.
If you run into any issues or errors please send me an ask about it.
Content warnings can be found at the start of the demo. God Syndicate is a romance interactive fiction novel meant for mature audiences.
I just want to thank everyone for letting me take my time with this, I think these two chapters really work super well together. Chapter 2 will be released to the public in a couple of months, so if you want to wait then feel free. But I do think the content is worth it.
I'll be taking a short break from writing! But I'll be back in a week or two.
DORMANT STAR is an interactive fiction story set in a superhero filled world in the year 2030. You play as an investigative TV news reporter balancing a career with the responsibilities of raising your teenage child.
DEMO (TBA) ā§ CHARACTERS ā§ FAQ ā§ CW
SAN JUSTO, CA has cultivated a reputation for being a magnet for the anomalous.
Magic, extraterrestrials, failed experiments, and infernal incursions found its way to the the city. Fortunately, the city is not without its defenders: sanctioned golden heroes, and of course, on occasion, a handful of canny brooding vigilantes (funnily enough are character models for those spicy young adult novels).
You built your career in pursuit of reporting on the extraordinary. Meticulous to a fault and relentlessly annoyingly persistent, you made a profession from doubt and the unknown, you deliver stories and facts live on TV; everyoneās watching youā¦ even your neighborās cat.
Four years ago, you lost your spouse, leaving the responsibility of raising your teenage child alone. The two of you became a team, learning (although imperfectly) to rotate the way the Earth turns through the darkness and light, building stability despite the loss.
But this is San Justo. and what would you expect in an unordinary city.
Lately, your attention has been consumed by the cityās newest rookie superhero who appeared out of nowhere, known as Pulsar. The public is enamored with this young (really young) hero, but you canāt help but find them somewhatā¦ familiar. Weird.
At the same time, a more immediate concern has begun to take shape in your own home. Your child has changed. Unusually absent-minded and muzzy, gaps in their schedule that don't line up with anything they tell you, and coming home in odd hoursā behaviors that are wholly out of their character.
You attempt to rationalize it. After all, Adolescence is inherently unstable with the rising hormones taking place (you should know since youāve been through that song and dance before).
Yet, you canāt help but feel that something is off.
You have spent your life discerning when stories fail to be consistent. That instinct, honed through years of work is now turning inward, now directed at your own life. You are too close to the subject to remain objective.
Whatever has been lying dormant is beginning to ignite.
FEATURES
ā¦ play as a telegenic investigative news reporter as you raise a teenager with secrets
ā¦ customize your news reporter: name, appearance, and gender. & customize your kid: name, and gender.
ā¦ find love with one of the two strange but single romantic options or stay as a hot loyal widow/er carrying a torch to your really dead 6 ft under spouse (your spouse wonāt come back to life,Iām a writerā not a miracle worker ;3).
ā¦ get an interview with the newest super of the city who seems very familiar.
ā¦ investigate strange incidents across the city that might put you at risk (but who cares you are a risk taker!)
ā¦ Judge your kidās life choices and embarrass them in front of their crush(?) or are they just friends??
ā¦ go on a blind date and maybe adopt a really weird but cute dog.
ā¦ Maybe get in a potential brawl with that evil and entitled HOA president!
Unfortunately, itās a commodity you donāt have much of these days.
Keeping up with the exhausting training for your new career while balancing your deepening romance on top of juggling some kind of personal life doesnāt leave much time to relax!
But it wouldnāt be a Wayhaven story youāve come to know without something new to add to that ever-growing pileā¦
Something stirs beneath the town of Wayhaven.
Something old.
Something powerful.
Something with a very keen interest in you.
-
Delve into the world of Wayhaven once more, where a new enemy is not only unleashed upon the town but unleashes its advances upon youāto your vampire loverās chagrin.
Or if your heart has yet to find a partnerā¦perhaps you'll succumb to the villainās romantic attempts?
The choice is yours!
