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 Kay (m). King Arthur's foster-brother and seneschal of his lands. A behemoth of a man; tall, wide, thickly muscled. He's a brute, but he's carried a torch for you ever since you met him. Whether or not you entertain his affections is of course up to you, but the decision might be easier if only he stopped being so cruel to some of the aspiring knights and servants who should be his protégés.
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 a son by him (or was it two?), but that's about it. She's still proud and beautiful, but somethong about her is not at all as you remember. Then again, it's been a long time. And it's not as though she's keen on visiting you at Camelot.
Queen Elaine of Garlot (f). Your middle sister. Much like Morgause, you lost sight of her after her own marriage to King Nentres, by whom she has two daughters. She's passionate, wistful and a romantic, but generally a mild and harmonious person. 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, sometimes she/her, but you can honestly use whichever.

The God: Ares ♱ He/Him ♱ ????? Looks like he's in his 30s ♱
Your local god! What is a god to do when not allowed to meddle in mortals' lives? Well, get a motorcycle and end up here, I guess.

The Kelpie: Zaire ♱ She/Her or He/Him ♱ 29 ♱
Your local doctor... and drug dealer. Zaire is a calculated, smart person who is very dedicated to their work when dealing with people.

♱ Pintrest ♱
The Witch ♱ Marlowe ♱ They/Them ♱ 25 ♱
Your local well... witch, aside from being somewhat aggressive or always agitated, not much is known about Marlowe; they are either in the shop, the occasional visit to the bar or bookstore or at home when you come to see them at work. They are straight to the point.

Did I make this game to feed my monsterfucker self.... yeah
Prologue coming at the end of August & Chapter 1 coming on October 31st
Any particular reason Evelyn isn't an RO? (does she die or end up with someone else in tbe game? I didnt notice) She would have balanced out the gender ratio of ROs (right now we have 2 females and 3 males) and given us a female childhood friend option to match the male one in the form of Tellus.
Evelyn is your sibling. Regardless of whether you have a good or bad relationship, it’s strictly a sibling relationship and not a romantic one. That’s the dynamic I wanted to write.
“3 males” is incorrect. Vicente is non-binary. I can hear them hissing at you from here.
Evelyn is your sibling.
I don’t seek to balance out my romance options along gender lines. My characters are fully formed in my mind, and that includes gender. I didn’t set out to write Cantata with an equal ratio; the current lineup is a by product of the characters and roles I envisioned.
Evelyn is your sibling.
Do you know how hard it is to write 5 ROs? Counting the platonic route, I’m already writing 6 total routes. I’m not adding a 7th.
Evelyn is your sibling.
“Does she end up with someone else in the game? I didn’t notice.” I’m asking this in complete honesty… have you read the entire demo already, or are you asking this without reading first? Cause the answer to this should be pretty self explanatory.
dont get me wrong I am loving dispatch so far, BUT,,,, I think the romance portion of the game would be a million times better if the only two romancable characters weren't Blonde "ill show up for approx 2 seconds an episode just to remind everyone that I do infact exist" Blazer or Invisi "yeah I act like a child like 90% of the time, and yeah any progress I make as a person is undermined by me still throwing tantrums and being an overall sex-pest for no good reason, and yes im ALMOST THIRTY YEARS OLD DESPITE ALL THAT" gal.
I think if I could improve the romance part of the game at all, there are really only three things that need to happen: 1. male and female love interests, how do you put certain characters into that game (Waterboy, Flambae, Phenomaman, ROYD!!) and not expect people to want to romance them man, 2. allow for an explicitly no romance route, not that dumb thing they went with where you Have to pick between the love interests to go on a date with (I mean, come on you could at least make it silly, make the options "movie w invisigal" "dinner with BB" or "home with Beef" cmon dude), and 3. NONE OF THAT CLEAR STORY/GAME FAVORITISM TOWARD ONE LOVE INTEREST OVER THE OTHER, it genuinely grinds my gears that the game actively tries to make you feel bad if you dont pick visi, and the fact that BB gets approximately zero screentime in comparison and there are No repercussions for picking visi over her. WHY give an option (one of the like 3 that affect the game btw) if you're gonna be mad if we dont pick the one that you want us to pick.
in my perfect world the romance section of the game allowed anyone on the z-team (including phenomaman and waterboy) and BB to be possible love interests and had unique sideplots that gives the chosen LI more screentime w Robert but all inevitably leads into the main game plot (PLUS secret romance route for Royd pls and ty) BUT IS ALSO COMPLETELY OPTIONAL
“‘Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.” -Alfred Lord Tennyson
Which of the ROs would prefer to have loved and lost and which would prefer to have never loved at all?
Assuming you'd asked them this before they met/fell in love with MC and knew what being in love actually felt like:
Would say they'd prefer to have loved and lost:
Trouble
Red
Briony
Lavinet
Would say they'd prefer to have never loved at all:
Blade
Tallys
Riel
Chase
Unsure:
Shery (would prefer to have loved and lost deep down, but not sure if she knows that about herself yet: she also initially avoids becoming friends with Shepherd officers out of fear of being devastated if they're killed out in the field, so it's a real 50/50 for her)
Ayla (craves love desperately deep down, enough that she'd gladly have it in retrospect even if it means the pain and devastation of losing it later on, but is also extremely avoidant and commitment-phobic at first, so again 50/50)
You remember catching fireflies, swimming in the natural springs, and building forts hidden away from the rest of the world. Every summer, your parents sent you down to your grandmothers, and you were welcomed with opened arms by not only her, but the local children as well.
Summer started for you the moment you crossed the Myrtle Lane threshold and found yourself back in the safety of the neighborhood.
17 years ago, there were no signs that that summer would be different until everything went sideways. In the matter one night, you lost your best friend, blame was shifted to you, and suddenly you were banned from the place that promised to keep you safe.
Fast-forward to today, and fate has brought you right back to Myrtle Lanes doorstep. Your grandma passes and leaves everything to you, including the home you spent all those summers. Will you return and finally get the change to tell your story, or will you decide to keep the past buried? Will it let you?
Create your own main character from scratch as you decide your personality and appearance and watch as those choices shape your journey.
Decide from multiple careers your character worked at before returning to their summer home, and watch how that changes the experiences they have.
Choose how you react to the past, the present and the future as you finally find out what really happened on the worst night of your entire life.
Navigate your relationships with many forgotten names from your past, and meet some new and exciting people along the way. Decide if you're looking for love, or friendship during this time.

You are one of the most famous yet mysterious characters of the 21st century rock scene.
It all started when you discovered your love for singing during an extended stay at a psychiatric hospital as a teen. Music became your motivator, and from then on, you knew the stage was where you belonged. You and your friends formed a band, and after years of practice in a garage and cheap gigs at dingy bars, your journey to the top begins abruptly when you team up with a skilled manager.
It’s a meteoric rise— until it isn’t.
And now, a decade after your band has disappeared from the public eye, you’ve accepted an interview by the acclaimed Groove Magazine. You and your former band members have agreed to give them the truth, the whole truth; as ugly as that might be.
Follow the story of your band’s rise to fame (and eventual fall from grace)
Play as a pop-rock vocalist
Name your band and customize your music and image
Handle the media, interactions with pushy fans and your own repressed thoughts and fears
Romance your coolgirl-bassist, the childhood friend you cut out of your life, your absolutely insane guitarist, or your biggest fan/possibly stalker
Give one hell of an interview
Inspiration: Daisy Jones and The Six, Fleetwood Mac… and all sorts of music-related drama.
TW: themes of mental illness, unhealthy relationships, substance abuse, death, mentions of suicide, suicidal ideation, self-harm, SA-related trauma, disordered eating
ROs:
Stevie McLaughlin, bassist (f) — “I suppose I was the sanest one in that bunch.”
She’s one of your oldest friends, and if you follow the clanking chain of cause and effect all the way back to the beginning, it is her you have to thank for your entire career. The band was her idea, after all. She’s level-headed, composed, and always there to talk you down when you need her. Sometimes, she acts more as your retainer than anything else…
Stevie is tall and skinny with light brown skin and extremely long, curly black hair which she always wears in a wet look. She has big, dark brown eyes and a soft face.
Paul/Paulette Zima, lead singer & saxophonist (f/m selectable, trans) — “Trying to figure out where you know me from?”
Your band’s brand-new, second lead singer. Your manager says they’re going to give your music the kick it needs, that they’re the one missing ingredient to your success. You’re not entirely sure if you agree. Worse yet, you happen to know this person, and your time together didn’t end on a favorable note. They’re part of a past you would much rather forget.
Paul is very tall, broad-backed and thickly muscled with light skin, shoulder-length slicked back brown hair and bottle green eyes.
Paulette is of average height with an hourglass/slim thick figure. She has dark brown hair with parted bangs and light blonde strands dyed into it. Her eyes are bottle green.
Angel Monsanto, guitarist (m) — “I was always going to make it big, with or without those guys. Only, I… I really wanted it to be with them.”
Your crazy but good-hearted guitarist. His passion for music borders on obsession, and he will stop at nothing to make a name for your band. Sadly, he’s very much of the conviction that all publicity is good publicity, which has encouraged him to pull some very questionable stunts in the past.
Angel is of average height and build with a warm beige complexion and long black hair. He has a square jaw with an occasional five o’clock shadow and brown eyes.
Lincoln Saunders, groupie?? (f/m selectable) — “What can I say, I loved them.”
Calling Lincoln a fan would be an understatement. Fanatic is more like it. You remember seeing them at your very first show, and you’ve continued to spot them at every venue you’ve played at since. You don’t know anything about them, and perhaps changing that would be a very bad idea. But maybe you still want to.
Lincoln (m) is short and lean, with an angular face and wavy blond hair. His eyes are cobalt blue.
Lincoln (f) is petite and tan, with a youthful, round face and chin-length blond beach waves. Her eyes are cobalt blue.
Others:
Maddox Wells (m), drummer
Another one of your oldest friends. You don’t much like to talk about what happened with him.
Fatima Shah (f), drummer — “I’m pretty sure they used to try to make me disappear with their fog machine.”
After things didn’t work out with your original drummer, Fatima saved the day. She’s a sweetheart to you, but from what you’ve heard, she can be kind of a terrible person. Maybe it’s best to stay a little wary of her.
Kalena Graham (f), manager — “The first time I saw them… well, they kind of sucked. But I knew, I just knew, that they had what it takes to suck on an international level.”
Your band’s manager. You can’t believe how lucky you were to have caught her attention. She’s experienced, driven, well-regarded in the industry and… kind of mean, to be honest.
Simon Young (m), reporter — “Start at the beginning. And then, don’t stop.”
The guy conducting the interview for Groove Magazine. He’s nice enough, if a little starstruck. It seems he has been waiting a long time for this.
