Unmourned

[unmourned]

unmourned is an upcoming interactive fiction game in twine that is a retelling of the classic Frankenstein tale. How you treat the Creature will shape your lives and the fates of all those around you.

You are V. Frankenstein, a science prodigy with an ambitious streak a mile wide. The eldest child of the Frankenstein family, you went to university to further your understanding of the world, and made a name for yourself as a hard-working innovator and radical thinker. Unsatisfied with the academia-approved learnings your teachers saught to instill upon you, you’ve instead turned your attention to a goal more suited to your ambitions: discovering the secret of life.

After spending the better part of a year perfecting your craft and selecting the finest speciments for your experiment, you succeed in doing what none thought possible — you’ve reanimated a body carefully pieced together from multiple corpses. Now, it’s time to face the consequences of your actions. 

The Creature (m/f/nb): The poor wretch you’ve violently brought to life. The Creature seems to be intelligent and prone to compassion  — but whether they’ll stay true to their instincts will depend on your treatment of them.

Hen Clerval (nb): Your closest friend and confidante since childhood. You both share an ambitious streak and an innate curiosity, although those traits manifest themselves differently in the two of you. They’re always willing to help you out of trouble, if you’ll let them. 

Elizabeth "Eli" Lavenza (f): The woman your father wishes you to wed, whom you’ve known since your teenage years. She’s a joyful woman who feels everything deeply, and she’s been your most loyal correspondent during your years away at university. Her compassion and desire to help is both her strength and her weakness.

Robert Walton (m): An Artic explorer and veteran sea captain. He has a desire to explore the world and a wistfulness about him you can’t pinpoint. He is currently on the trail of a passage through the North Pole, but you can't help but feel that’s not all he’s searching for.

Customize your character - gender, pronouns, appearance, motivations.

Romance, befriend or make enemies of the four main companions

Watch how the people around you respond to your actions  — everyone has their own opinions about your treatment of the Creature

Choose how you treat the Creature: will you act as a benevolent mentor? A distant friend? A ruthless master? Or will you even try to teach them how to love? Just beware  — all paths come with their own consequences.

DEMO: To be announced! 

Character portraits: Coming soon!

2 and 11 from the uncommon questions? 😊 Have a great day 💕

Hiii! ❤

2 - How easy is it for your character to laugh?

Elya - Somewhat easy. He understands different kinds of humor well, but not a lot of them are particularly funny to him, tbh. He'll play along and find it cute if you try to be funny, though.

Ian - Very easy. Laughing is how Ian deals with a lot of things, so crack any joke, especially an unfunny one, and this man will be laughing at it.

Joana - The toughest one in that sense. She naturally has an odd sense of humor and doesn't laugh all that often. That way, it's likely that Joana will smile and tilt her head in confusion if someone is trying to be funny, while laughing a lot about something that will make people go (????) instead.

11 - How do they cope with confusion (seek clarification, pretend they understand, etc)?

Elya - "I'm sorry, can you clarify this part, please?" - Until he understands everything perfectly. He isn't afraid to ask questions and will want to understand well anything someone is willing to teach him about.

Ian - It depends on how important he deems that knowledge to be for him, specifically. If he thinks it's important, he will act similarly to Elya, being quite proactive. If he doesn't think it's important, he'll pretend to understand it and try to change the subject.

Joana - Will tell you exactly what she understood from your explanation, in her own words, so that you can catch what's the part she's not getting quite right. Joana has found this approach to be more efficient than trying to explain what it is that she didn't understand to the other person, which can often lead to even more confusion.

Hi Beth 💕💕

Humbly requesting "Who were their friends during childhood? Are they still in touch with them?" for the cast!

Thank you, sending u a big smooch 💖

Hi Astra! Smooch you right back my lovely 💛

Matt has a couple of rugby mates from school that he sees occasionally but they moved away from the area so he only sees them if they're around.

Eve didn't have a lot of friends at school and she's loosely in contact with the ones she did have.

Alex isn't in touch with friends from school. They made a bit of a reputation for themself when they were in their teen years and burnt bridges and pushed friendships to their limit so when they moved away they lost touch.

Jordan's friends were largely people from church, so they still regularly see most of them and are quite close to them. They would invite all of their childhood friends to a birthday party for them, for example.

Char regularly goes up to Yorkshire to meet with mates and go out with them, usually about every 6 to 8 weeks. He doesn't have a lot of friends from when he's very young but the ones he meets are from secondary school.

Bo-yeon is in touch with a few family friends that xe's had since xe was young but not anyone from school or university.

hello! i come with a really important question 👀

how does everyone feel about pet names? what would they like to be called? what would they call the mc in return?

is this me trying to find out how i can sweet-talk nereus? perhaps

glad to see someone finally asking the hard-hitting questions, with no ulterior motives whatsoever

Alex

ADORES pet names

to call you: their absolute favorite is 'my love'. 'sweetheart' is also a big one for them

to be called: unless you're on duty, they'll let you call them anything no matter how "embarrassing" it is. will melt if you call them 'my love' back, though

Sam

doesn't mind pet names

to call you: they're most likely to use 'sweetheart' or 'sunshine' when being serious. BUT is also a huge fan of silly pet names--'honey bunny', 'pumpkin pie', 'cutie-patootie', 'sugar lips', 'hot stuff', etc

to be called: would love it if you called them silly stuff back, but isn't really picky

Nereus

is a little confused by pet names

to call you: honestly, probably just your first name. if you really wanted him to come up with something, there's a word in his language that he would use

to be called: doesn't understand why you wouldn't just call him by his name. could grow to appreciate more straightforward pet names like 'love' or 'darling' once you've explained it to him

Katalina

HATES pet names (until you're deeper into the romance)

to call you: some of the classics like 'babe' or 'baby', but also a fan of 'sweet cheeks' if she's feeling especially mushy

to be called: kind of the same, 'babe' and 'baby' are good. she might combust if you called her 'darling' or 'my love' though wink wink nudge nudge

I can't find Unmourned anymore, did something happen?

Alright, the mods happen to know the author of Unmourned so we can let you know: their Tumblr is being weird and it seems like the blog might've gotten deleted? but they contacted support already and are waiting for a reply! Hopefully, it will all be fixed soon

we can offer you a link to the discord server of the game in the meantime!
