DAY TWO, PARTS ONE, TWO, THREE, AND FOUR ARE NOW UP 😭

Fair warning before you open it: this is a very early build.

It is buggy, barely edited, still under-drafted, and almost definitely going to change when I finally sit down and fight my way through the whole thing properly. Some choices may break, continuity may wobble, and there are already scenes I know I want to rewrite.

I also added a new Day Skip randomiser to the main menu. It creates a full MC, partner, family, profession, stats, inventory, and survival setup, then sends you straight into Day Two. You can reroll everything or keep the setup and only change the parts you do not like.

I mainly made it because replaying the entirety of Day One every time I needed to test one branch was beginning to destroy me, but it is actually really fun seeing what kind of family the game throws at you each time.

Please tell me when you find something broken. There are so many errors in this build that, if care is not taken, I am going to die inside the ChoiceScript code and nobody will find my body.

You seem to have consistently good takes on things, so I'm curious. What are your top five favorite interactive fiction games, and favorite character from those games?

I cant really say which of them is best them the other because I like them for different reasons

Choice of Rebels: I LOVE this game. Is extremely stat heavy and the first game has a very heavy administrative game vibe during the beginning. But the world is incredibly immersive, the characters are amazing and the conflicts is superb. I think my favorite character is Brenden. They are such a interesting character, and the plot about them is genuinely so intriguing.

Infinity Series (but specifically Lords of Infinity): Again, stats heavy but a worldbuilding i cant help but adore. I dont even have a favorite character, I guess. I love Cunaris, I love Katherine, Caius is a bastard but I love his character. But if i had to chose it would be Katherine. This game is very much a military fantasy, that really speaks to me because I like that.

The Infinity Series is gender locked. And Choice of Rebels you play as a AFAB or AMAB in the first game, with a plot about experiencing their own gender dynamics in the second.

Can't Save Your Love From Dying is another i really like. I dont usually like toxic romances in novels or movies because it annoys me. But Roxy is genuinely the reason I have a crush on Odessa A'Zion. And I am super excited to see where Maya will take those characters, because the other ROs also seem interesting, like ???? for example.

O, Your Heavenly Star is the one at it earliest development, but i already really liked it. Jude is a amazing writer, but the way OYHS watched me is straight up supernatural. The ROs BAREKY appeared in this game and i couldn't give a shit because the plot is so good. My favorite character is Mallory, I love her relationship with Sky, Franky, I love how she acts like a child because she IS (She begins a story at 12, time skip and she is barely 18) and i just love love love her.

Infamous i guess is another? Is certainly the most popular i think. I love that characters and dynamics. I genuinely don't know who i prefer between Seven andG

But I also love Press Play! Zima is my favorite character so far.

Particularly for interactive fiction i like either mess up shit or over worldbuilded fantasy. Is definitely a problem for me. But sometimes i love more slice of live simplicity like Costa Sul or C.C games

Hye-jin won the poll 😭

So the next short story is officially going to be about how his obsession with the MC started. The Emperor came second, and Yeon came third, which honestly feels very fitting for all three of them.

I’ll probably come back to the Emperor and Yeon later, but Hye-jin gets the spotlight first.

PACT

updated 7/24/26

Prologue and chapter 1 coming soon!

DEMO(TBA) | GENERAL PLAYLIST | PINTEREST | RO INTROS

PACT is a fantasy story about connection, our place in the world, and love of all sorts. Just before setting out on your Quest, the journey that marks your coming of age, you encounter a strange creature you've never seen before. It binds your souls together, and urges you east, towards the rising sun. And, well, you were going that way anyways.

Features:

Play as male, female, or other; trans or cis. Select your pronouns separate from gender (you want to be a he/him lady? Go for it!)

Romance (or aromantically "romance") (or be best friends with) one of 5 ROs

Uncover the mystery of your pactmate

Content warnings (to be updated): light (animal) body horror, (fantastical) animals in pain/distress

@interact-if

ROs:

THE RESEARCHER: Vyn (they/them)

A scatterbrained researcher and magizooligist, who is fascinated to see a creature even they don't recognize. Excitable and driven by their unending curiosity, Vyn insists on tagging along on your journey. They're incredibly smart, and have been offered multiple positions at various prestigious institutes... that they've turned down in favor of spending their time staring at bugs. Vyn’s tendency to wander makes them difficult to form a real connection with, something they’ve insisted they’re fine with—but they’d be lying if they said it didn’t get a bit lonely sometimes.

(Themes of neurodivergency, loneliness, and finding your place)

(Vyn is aromantic. They can be "romanced," but not in a traditional sense. You can be friends, queerplatonic partners, or romantic partners. In a romantic route, Vyn is still aro! They're not going to engage with this relationship like an allo person would.)

THE ACADEMIC: Lyra (she/her)

The daughter of the prestigious Augusti family was born with very little magical energy, a stark difference from her family. Lyra has been sheltered and kept mostly a secret since birth, both for her protection and the protection of the Augusti legacy. Though a bit late, Lyra is embarking on her Quest to throw off her family name and come into her own identity as a scholar of magical theory. As gentle as she is stubborn, Lyra has spent her life learning the intricacies of magic, and how she can make it work for her.

(Themes of disability, self acceptance, and growth)

THE ARTIFICER: Aster (he/him)

An engineer specializing in integrating technology and magic. The only thing Aster loves more than machines is his Phoenix companion—his pactmate is the most important thing in the world to him, and the two are so closely bonded they may as well share a soul. Aster is an open book, and exudes the kind of genuine warmth that makes you feel like laughing with friends around a campfire, but the burn scars that cover his left arm point to his fierce dedication and willingness to jump into fire for those he cares about.

(Themes of community, companionship, and loyalty)

THE GUARDIAN: Eilivur (she/her)

Born with enough magical energy to make her glow in the dark, but preferring a greatsword, Eilivur found the life of a knight far too restricting for her. Instead, she protects the places that often fall through the cracks. Her very presence is intimidating enough to ward off crime, but the locals know she's the one to turn to when they need food, muscle, or just a shoulder to cry on. Ei isn't the most open of people—basing your identity and sense of self around being a protector doesn’t exactly lend itself to vulnerability—but she's a steady presence for those who need her.

(Themes of classism, community, and vulnerability)

THE GUIDE: Jae (xe/xem)

Parents tell their children stories of an old witch in the woods who will eat them if they get lost. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Jae is a guide of the dead, a ranger who has sworn an oath to silence among the living. Xe’s not bothered by the stories, though—the woods are dangerous, and xe has enough passed children coming to them confused. Xe’s very private, and if people find xem unsettling, that just means xe can do xir work in peace.

(Themes of grief, religion, and death.)

[tispyyyy]

Day Two of 7 Days is somehow already at 25,421 words, and that’s without counting any of the ChoiceScript commands 😭

I’ve also started posting actual excerpts and sneak peeks from the chapter on Patreon.

The cheapest tier is only $2, so for two durra you can read ahead and watch this family’s situation get worse before everyone else does.
