Ecstasy of the Saints: Pilgrimage is a short interactive fiction story in which you play as a nameless traveler searching for your Beloved. Unfortunately, the trail's gone cold and you're out of supplies. Thank goodness there's a store nearby! Hopefully nothing happens while you're restocking... Who are you? Who are you searching for, and why? Most importantly, w̶̢͒ẖ̵́e̸͍͌r̶̻͐ḙ̴̀ ̶̻͝i̶̘͌s̴̨͋ ̵̚ͅy̶̱̋o̸͓͛u̶͑ͅr̵̨͛ ̸̺͝B̷̯͝e̷͔͛l̶̹̓o̸͉̊v̷͇̓è̷̟d̴̫̀?̸̭̑

Hi, this is my first game! It was created in Twine for the Love is Unconventional game jam (thank u Connie for telling me about it and encouraging me!). It's around 7K words long and the story acts as a prequel to a yandere game I hope to create in the future. If you're interested in gothic vibes and dark romance, especially ones where you get to be the monster too, please give it a try!

Mild spoilers below for the yandere in question and also a picture my friend drew for me based on the main game description!

Then there was the tenant. It was a man. Ridiculously tall, broad-shouldered, and wrapped in a dark coat that barely stirred in the wintry wind. Ink black curls fell past his shoulders, the front strands tied into a loose knot at the back of his head, revealing half-lidded, pitch-black eyes beset by equally dark circles.

The bottom of his face was obscured by a black surgical mask, which he pulled down to reveal a scarred nose overlooking a rough, stubbled jaw. The injury was old, and darker than the cool sepia of the surrounding skin. It split his face almost in two, starting from the bridge of his broad nose and just narrowly missing the lingual and carotid arteries on the other side of his head. That he wasn't blind or dead was what mortals might call a miracle.
