DEMO [TBA] ┃ ITCH.IO ┃ PLAYLIST

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 don’t ask too many personal questions. which is a good thing… 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, there’s no way you’d turn it down. because this isn’t a case of one ghost. or even a family of them. it’s 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 don’t 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, widow's bay, 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 you’re 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 “eccentric” 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 uncle’s 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 other’s 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.

[dormantstar-if]

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) ✧ CHARACTERS ✧ FAQ ✧ 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; everyone’s watching you… even your neighbor’s 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 city’s newest rookie superhero who appeared out of nowhere, known as Pulsar. The public is enamored with this young (really young) hero, but you can’t help but find them somewhat… 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 hours— 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 you’ve been through that song and dance before).

Yet, you can’t 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

✦ play as a telegenic investigative news reporter as you raise a teenager with secrets

✦ customize your news reporter: name, appearance, and gender. & customize your kid: name, and gender.

✦ 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 won’t come back to life,I’m a writer— not a miracle worker ;3).

✦ get an interview with the newest super of the city who seems very familiar.

✦ investigate strange incidents across the city that might put you at risk (but who cares you are a risk taker!)

✦ Judge your kid’s life choices and embarrass them in front of their crush(?) or are they just friends??

✦ go on a blind date and maybe adopt a really weird but cute dog.

✦ Maybe get in a potential brawl with that evil and entitled HOA president!

The Wayhaven Chronicles: Book Four

Time is a precious commodity.

Unfortunately, it’s a commodity you don’t 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 doesn’t leave much time to relax!

But it wouldn’t be a Wayhaven story you’ve come to know without something new to add to that ever-growing pile…

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 you—to your vampire lover’s chagrin.

Or if your heart has yet to find a partner…perhaps you'll succumb to the villain’s romantic attempts?

The choice is yours! _ _ _ https://cogdemos.ink/play/mishka-jenkins/the-wayhaven-chronicles-book-four-demo/mygame

DEMO (part Ⅰ - the first instalment / 2nd of November 2025) || see disclaimers, TWs and more below!

In 15th century Romania, commonly known as Wallachia, whispered rumours swirl in the farmer's markets of Transylvania about blood and death and vanishing people that disappear and never return. Yet, in your side of the country, life remains deceptively peaceful. Except for your growling stomach, your younger sibling's rotting teeth, and your parents' gaunt cheeks.

Desperate to escape hunger, poverty, and the memory of your older sister that has passed away, you venture far from your village and family in order to work in an isolated castle in Transylvania, home to a reclusive Noble. The pay is good, the meals are warm. Though they cool untouched more often than not, and the nights echo with footsteps on the grand staircase you are forbidden to climb.

But you find the pit of corpses in the rose garden. You smell their rotting bodies and see them beckoning you closer. You stare at the marks on their necks and wrists. And you know the same fate might follow you, if you don't leave this place as quickly as you came.

Because your Noble's interest in you comes with a price that you may not be able to bear.

‪✝︎ Customisable MC including: pronouns, gender, physical appearance, sexuality etc.

‪✝︎ 1 gender selectable possible love interest. You don't have to romance them! It's just one of the routes available.

‪✝︎ Work in a castle that seems to be listening to every breath you take, even when you're asleep.

‪✝︎ Be traumatised by any encounter you have with supernaturals.

‪✝︎ Work for a vampire, then let them have sex with you. Or murder them. You choose!

‪✝︎ K̷̢͕̀̀̈̎̍̒̉̐̄I̴͓̰̮̫̬̟̫͚̥̻̔̾̑̌L̵̠̥̟̹̤̊͂̓̈́̓͝L̷̨̗̱̺͑͑̽ ̴̧̜̞͈̰̙̠́́͒ͅK̸̨̡̢̭͉̥̺̫̬͑͜Ï̷̡̜͗̒͂̃̅͝͝Ļ̴̲̺̯̽̀̚L̷͚̃͆̈̀̑̆̂̈͝ ̷͉͖̲̭͎̰͕̤̼̅͌̕ͅḴ̶̛̛͚͌̒̑͜I̶̪̼͋́̚L̴̨̠̉͆͐͒͂͝͝͝Ļ̵̥̪̓͂͆̈́̃̐͝͝

VLAD / VLADA (M/F) - the reclusive Noble you now serve, whose castle feels more like a tomb than a home. You rise before dawn and work lang past dusk to scrub their marble floors and cook lavish meals that go mostly untouched. Pale as moonlight, with hair and eyes as dark as midnight, V is distant, a creature of shadows. Though they rarely appear when the sun is high, their attention upon you is unwavering. And once V's interest settles on you it feels less like strange admiration, and more like twisted possession. And they won't let anything or anyone take you away.

DISCLAIMER: Misery Loves Company is a short vampire-themed horror interactive fiction story, with erotic elements depending on the path your MC takes. It is written with an 18+ audience in mind due to heavy themes and topics such as death (corpses, murder, murder of a child etc), non consensual transformation, mention of untreated severe mental illness, religious trauma, violence etc. || the fully released public game will have only one possible love interest: VLAD/VLADA, as that is the main story i want to tell. two bonus love interests will be added later on, possibly to a future patreon. more on this in the future FAQ post.

DEMO (Prologue + Chapter One, Two pt.1) | Other project

Intros | Lore | Scenarios | Other characters

what's new? wordcount total: 82kw Last Update: 12/04/25 In the shadow of your family's crumbling fortune, you face an impossible choice: surrender to a loveless marriage to salvage your name, or embrace ruin that will drag everyone you cherish into poverty and disgrace.

Étreinte is a Victorian tale of love, duty, and forbidden longing. Where propriety meets passion behind closed doors. Can you claim your own life in an age of rigid expectations, or will duty consume everything you are? -CW: sexual themes, misogyny, sexism, classism, discrimination, etc. -Set in 1840s London amidst the glittering decay of high society -Gender lock female. This story follows a female protagonist, written to explore the specific expectations and constraints placed upon women in Victorian society -Customize your protagonist's identity and desires -Navigate three distinct romance paths (for now): your forbidden love from different social background, your wealthy but mysterious betrothed, and a forbidden same-gender connection -Make choices that determine whether you pursue love, security, independence, or scandal -Explore themes of class, duty, identity and womanhood in an unforgiving era.

In a world ruled by reputation and restraint, desire is the most dangerous game of all.

The lover — Elias Hart To touch him is to court disgrace; to love him is to betray the life laid out before you. Gentle hands and eyes that burn with defiance and devotion. Elias has nothing to offer but his heart — and that, he gives wholly. A man born with no title and no fortune, yet with more honor than most nobles could dream of. He is everything your world forbids but everything your heart craves.

The Betrothed — Lucian Blackwell His affection feels like a bargain—one you suspect you’ll never stop paying for. The name on every tongue and the envy of every salon. Duke Blackwell is a man both admired and quietly feared. In conversation, he is effortless; in business, merciless. And yet, when he looks at you, there is no trace of calculation. You can’t imagine what a man like him — so far above your station, probably so accustomed to getting what he wants—could possibly see in you.

The Confidant — Helena Waverly She has known you since childhood. Now, every glance between you trembles with what cannot be spoken. Refined. Poised. Married to your brother. Helena embodies everything London adores in a woman: grace, decorum, and a kindness so polished it borders on illusion. You grew up side by side, your lives forever intertwined. But lately, her glances linger too long. Her touch, too soft. And her words — once sisterly — carry an undercurrent that feels far more dangerous. You try to ignore it. But late at night, when memory and longing blur, you cannot quite forget the way she whispered your name as though it belonged to her.

Love them, resent them, but you can't ever quite escape them.

Lady Beatrice Waverly – Mother The perfect matriarch — graceful and ruthless when it comes to maintaining appearances. Your mother's love was always conditional, her affection a performance. To her, your marriage is not only about securing your future…it’s the family’s last lifeline. Lord Edmund Waverly – Father A kind but weary man. Once respected, now quietly ruined by debts he hides from everyone but himself. He loves you dearly — but in his silence, he has condemned you to a gilded cage. Mrs. Eugenia Pembroke - Aunt Sharp-witted and sharper-tongued, the family gossip and self-proclaimed moral compass. She knows everything — or thinks she does. Mr. Nathaniel Waverly – Older Brother Once charming, now reckless. His charm has faded into deceit, his debts a festering secret. Every bad hand he plays pushes your family closer to ruin. And somehow, it is always you who must pay the price. Miss Clara Waverly – Younger Sister Sweet and endlessly hopeful. Clara is untouched by the cruelty of the world, living in a quiet realm of imagination. You protect her from everything — even the truth. She is light in a world that loves shadows.
