The A.D.A.P.T. Entries is an episodic game in 12 parts from @staradavid. Equal parts interactive fiction and narrative adventure, what will ensue is a space thriller about Judiasm, the building and falling of communities, the necessity of resisting dehumanization, and how even the best of intentions can be twisted in the face of systemic corruption and unaddressed prejudices. The first entry will release January 30th, with the consecutive entries releasing on the last Thursday of each month in 2025.

The A.D.A.P.T. Entries follow Rivkah Kadish, a Jewish woman born in what was once west Montreal but raised on The Ostera, the final flagship on the AQA Inaugural Expansion fleet making a forty year journey to the TRAPPIST-1 system. As the ship’s path nears it’s end, join her as she explores her upbringing, falling in love, the less-than-savoury choices she’s had to make as a member of AQA’s adaptation team, and the secrets she’s uncovered over the years. It will be found at staradavid.itch.io, and updates can also be found at staradavid.bsky.social and adapt-aqa.bsky.social.

The past year of my life has been spent planning, researching, and beginning to develop this project, and I'm so excited to start sharing these stories with the world, in whatever forms that may take.

photometry, or the extinction of a star and that which it kills

Act Three: Photodisintegration

(11k. cws: alcohol, major character death, canon-typical violence, vomiting, allusions to antisemitism, casual attitudes about death (idk how else to phrase this. characters know they're about to die and accept it. not quite suicidal ideation but close enough that i think it deserves a warning.)

Support Stara David On Ko-fi. Ko-fi lets you support the people and causes you love with small donations

Just did an overhaul on my kofi– in addition to 12x100s and other general fic options for commissions, I've added $5 lightning drabbles where you can get 100-300 words about whatever you'd like, and I'm also trialling making bespoke small games for people, though those have limited spots as I gauge interest! I've also added membership tiers if you're interested in supporting my game development and other works! If you've ever enjoyed the things I make, please consider checking it out!
