🎉 The submissions for the Interact-IF genre lists (May 2026) are in — and now it’s time to vote! 🎉
Over the past week, we've received submissions for an incredible range of games across 5 genres.
We move into the next stage of the Interact-IF Genre List Event: COMMUNITY VOTING!
Vote for your favorite submitted games in each genre category HERE! Whether you’re cheering on longtime classics, hidden gems, or newer projects that deserve more eyes, this is your chance to help spotlight the games that made an impression on you.
Voting will run from now till May 21. Once again, here's the link to the form for voting.
*Note: For the sake of voting fairness, IFs that have been submitted to more than one category have been included in only ONE category. However, in the rec lists, the IF will be included in any/all categories that it appears in. If you think a game should be in a different main category from what it's listed as, you can DM us or leave a comment at the end of this form to let us know.
If you missed out submitting a game to the rec lists, you can use this google form to submit the game, but do note that these would not be eligible for the voting round. This will be open until May 21 as well.
Made a new game! Regenerate game jams! ADHD fugue = 10k words in 3 days? Consider this a prototype I definitely want to expand! I fell in love with the characters!
our beta readers have done an amazing job weeding the errors and bugs out, but if you do find some regardless, simply send it to the bug detectors channel in my discord server, and we’ll be fixing it.
as usual, a huge thank you to my big sib and collaboration partner, @albywritesfiction, for being an absolute beast when it comes to coding whatever bs i end up writing. they were also the reason the demo could be released sooner because of the sheer promptness with which they handled the errors and bugs detected.
and of course, another shoutout to my girlfriend, @timefall-if, who is the reason i was motivated enough to finish chapter four and continue writing after being bogged down by a myriad of issues that prevented me from being productive. i love you, and i hope you like the update as well ♡
remember that it’s crucial that you start a new game because the variables have been edited which might cause your saves to get errors if you load a game from previous updates. alby and i will try to ensure that the next update can be continued smoothly without starting a new game.

PLAY THE DEMO / RO INTROS
You are a Bonewitch, born into a bloodline steeped in ancient magic. When you came of age, you were whisked away to the imperial palace to fight and bleed for country.
Soon the wrong kind of blood stained your hands and their words plotted against you. Spared from the executioner's sword, you were exiled to an island, left in isolation.
Alone and scared, perhaps angry, you left to wonder what went wrong. They promised you a pardon, but that was a lie. When a herald summons you to return home years later, you want to feel relief.
Now serving as a confidant of a disgraced noble, you are to realize your role holds more weight than you imagine. You can try to return to normalcy: reuniting with old friends and your past, or perhaps someone new. Despite the freedom, you dread becoming a pawn once more. These years living on the island made you different, your emotions raw.
Will you piece together your mind or let your sanity crumble?
Play as female, male or nonbinary character.
Customize your name, gender, sex, family lineage, and appearance.
Select one out of the three origins to shape how you perceive the world, and how others perceive you. Some scenes will vary with branching options.
Romance one of the four love interests and flings: all of them, or no one.
Choose your patron god and strengthen your devotion. Or stray from their path.
Navigate court politics, befriend, or perhaps make enemies.
Understand (or not) why you are summoned to return. Something in you has changed, and so has the world.
MILENA DORN , the noble (f) - The youngest sibling of House Voryev. You have known her for years, you know every laugh lines, her dislikes and fears. Since your separation, your kinship with her is a distant memory. Nowadays, she only speaks in riddles. (PLAYLIST)
IHRIN CZERNIAK, the knight (m/f) - One of the friendly faces you meet. Newly appointed knight with a heart of gold, and a former soldier of the Nasherein army. But beneath their adoring eyes, there is only pain, both body and mind. (PLAYLIST)
FLORIAN (m/nb) / FLORCIA (f) , the godling - As a child of a god and a mortal woman, they are already been blessed and cursed since birth. Yet, they are nothing more than another replica of the Pale God. Silver hair with porcelain skin, a perfect body in every way. (PLAYLIST )
VINZENT / VANESSZA MASING, the tailor (m/f) - They work for the imperial family as the royal tailor, a respectable position. Vicious, perhaps commanding, they hold some power influencing the court fashion and to a lesser extent, imperial treasury. (PLAYLIST)
I told you Chapter 4 wouldn’t be done till late October. I said this was because the chapter was a biggie and I had several trips planned.
This was all true.
What I didn’t tell you was that I was working on a secret project.
Did you know that today is the 1 year anniversary of Viatica’s publication on itch?
Did you also know that I’ve written a new, spicy, second epilogue in honor of said anniversary?!
And did you further know that I’ve completely rebuilt Viatica in Sugarcube for this re-release?!?!
NO YOU DIDN’T! BECAUSE IT WAS A SECRET! AHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Lord, it’s taken me all my willpower not to talk about this! 🤣
I have completely rebuilt Viatica in Sugarcube! Which means… drumroll… SAVES!! 🙌🏻
Click HERE to play!
To further celebrate the anniversary, there is a spicy second epilogue for each route! 🌶️ 🍆 You still have the options of fade to black or snuggles only, but this is mainly smut. 🤭 There is no new platonic content.
I also sprinkled Cantata Easter eggs throughout. Let me know if you find them!
Happy Viatica Anniversary, everyone! 🥳 Thank you for following me on this journey!
This book is for mature audience only (18+). It's currently still in early development and everything released is subject to possible change. The book will contain mature themes like abuse, child birth, sexual content (mostly optional), death of people and animals (the latter for food and sacrificial purposes), diseases, suicidal ideations, homophobia, transphobia, body dysmorphia, possible self mutilation, swearing, attempted non consensual intercourse (this is not a definitive list of triggers!).
This is a work of fiction. Wherever possible and plausible, I incorporate information that is available about how Germanic tribes lived etc.
However... especially about Germanic tribes during the timeframe I chose is only very little information available—and what information is available is mostly interpreted from what we know about grave sites, or it's (most likely) exaggerated information written from an "enemy" point of view—the Romans.
I might somewhat substitute with things we know about the vikings, which technically also were Germanic tribes, but they lived quite some hundred years after the timespan I aim for the main story of this IF to be set in (which is 16 CE).
Things we know for certain about Germanic people are extremely sparse. Many of the things the internet states as "facts" about Germanic people—even about Vikings—are estimates and interpretation of comparatively few findings.
Other choices and possible changes of actual facts/information about the historical times and people are made for flavour and for the readers' comfort.
I will state it once more for clarification:
I am not a historian. I am merely one person researching and writing this as a hobby. It will not be 100% historically accurate. It is still a work of fiction and I take creative liberties.
Movies with massive budgets and several research assistants have historical inaccuracies in them. Please let me also have some.
Life has never been kind to you—because in a Germanic tribe, life is neither fair, nor guaranteed.
It wasn't kind to your mother when she died in childbirth, giving you a sibling in her stead.
It isn't kind to your father, whose life seems to be just as doomed as the marriage he arranged for you.
And now, it isn't kind to you as you're shepherded into battle against the Romans simply for the right to live freely.
When a group of traveling merchants arrive in your settlement during a three-year long campaign led by the Roman commander Germanicus, the adoptive son of Emperor Tiberius, it seems life is turning kind. But is it wishful thinking? Or are there omens you are attempting to turn a blind eye to?
As the newly anointed chieftain of your tribe, you must lead you people well, protect them, and continue the Germanic legacy. How will you persevere in this unkind life, chieftain?
Customize your own Suevi. Choose:
Gender,
Looks,
The God you mainly pray to,
Your occupation - depending on the tribe you hail from,
and more.
Choose one of... seven love interests—and one poly option.
Ing — Ingunn(f) or Ingram(m), the Traitor...?
Aquila — always named Aquila(f/m/nb-intersex), the Entertainer.
D — Dewognata(f) or Dagomaros(m), the Blacksmith.
Nefer — Nefertari(f) or Neferkare(m), the Merchant.
Xen — Xeno(f) or Xenon(m), the Interpreter.
???, the Secret.
!!!, the Other.
Find love, have a good time with no strings attached (flings!) or just do your own thing (and somehow survive... or perish).
The old demo can be found here. Be aware that the game is currently undergoing a rework, it has changed a lot.
