Are you new to the IF community?

Do you have questions and no one to ask?

Or do you just want to scream about a really good IF game you just played?

Well you should ✨JOIN MY DISCORD✨

(Ages 20+ only sorry 😣 )

Check out the IF Community Newbies community on Discord - hang out with 7 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat.

I started it a couple of years ago and its been a small and lovely community to discuss all kinds of games and WIPs! We tend to wane in activity sometimes due to normal life going on so I thought putting the link back out there and gaining new members might help make it a little more active and lively!

We'd love to have you and scream about our fave IF games together!

[apt502-if]

The demo to Apartment 502 is here!

It's been a long road. First thank you for your patience and understanding. 502 has been delayed so much mostly due to my own resistance, but it's here!

The demo is the pilot episode and I consider this an introduction. Episode 1 is when things really start to move but I wanted a good start just to introduce some key characters.

What to expect:

⛟ move to nyc and get dumped! (totally normal)

⛟ meet the people you will spend your time with now that you're totally and completely alone

⛟ try to find some purpose now that you're utterly alone in a city you don't know. totally cool. not a problem at all

**the stats have not yet been implemented and will be added in the next update!**

This is a WIP that I have changed constantly. There may be errors or typos/mistakes and if there are, please let me know, especially if there are parts where it may seem like a passage or scene was skipped.

You can probably tell where I started frantically deleting and changing plot points lol. The next update, this demo will probably be rewritten and updated but we'll see. I just wanted to get this out because if I didn't, I never would.

I hope you like it!

The demo is 41,780 words. Play Apt. 502.

[infamous-if]

Hello! Yes, the time has come: the Infamous demo is out! First I want to say that the response has been so unreal and the fact that people are so excited for this makes me both happy and nervous haha but I’m glad people have become invested in the characters that I love dearly!

The demo includes:

✮ PROLOGUE ✮

Audition for BOTB and attend the after-party hosted by Misfit Alley…and try not to get in trouble in the process.

Meet some new (and familiar faces) and spend the night three different ways.

Maybe have that long awaited conversation with your ex friend/partner that wants nothing to do with you :)

The prologue can be a bit NSFW-ish, if you so choose, so be wary of that!

✮ CHAPTER ONE ✮

Find your new drummer to replace Jazzy.

Kick off the tour!

⚠️ NOTE ⚠️ As there is quite a bit of variation and coding, it’s very hard for me as a one woman show to find every single error (trust me, I tried.) so for that I will be kindly outsourcing you guys as my makeshift alpha testers, if that’s alright (ha!).

If there are any errors, typos, or any passages that feel like they are out of context due to the game not reading the coding, please please let me know so I can fix it! Ideally I’d like the demo to be 100% polished before the next update!

Also, stat pages like Characters and Band Codex will be created next update so ignore that haha!

Band and character playlists will be up soon and I will share an update on that!

Also I would like to credit @magiciansvoyage for the pronoun template adapted from @hpowellsmith ! It is amazing and I’m very thankful for your generosity!

here it finally is!

DEMO (ALPHA) (92K WORDS)

[ladiemars]

unit bravo if they had twitter (part 1, part 2, part 3)

[farahswife]

the romantic tension between all 50 ppl who have the book 2 wayhaven guide open rn …………

[tulipplays]

The Defiled Hearts update was so good! Literally in my discord rn writing paragraphs about theories and how much I love it ugh the author is amazing.

The characterizations are incredible and the story has me so intrigued about what’s going to happen! Quinn is spooky, Niall is too nice, I love Camila and Tinsae , and Marcus….MARCUS….the love of my life….the bane of my MC’s existence….

as I said on discord 😂

[betweentheseaandsky-if]

Between the Sea and Sky is a regency era IF— written with CScript— that includes the wondrous world of mermaids.

Setting(s) Atlantis || London, England

Genre(s): Historical (Regency), Drama, Romance, Adventure, and Low-Fantasy.

Warning(s): This story is rated 18+ for depictions of violence, strong language, sexual themes, alcohol consumption, and blood.

DEMO (TBA)

Scenario and NSFW asks are welcomed.

You’ve never known anything besides the crystal water surrounding you. Have never felt the sun on your face for hours at a time without being half submerged beneath the waves.

You don’t know why you yearn to see the land in such a way— your father likens it to being your mother’s child— but nothing can ever stop the jolt you get whenever you see a passing ship; hear the boisterous voices from the deck.

The world connected to your own felt like it would forever be out of reach; a simple dream that would never become an actuality.

Until you make a deal that would have your father exploding with a rage…

A deal that would give you legs to find love beyond the waves…

A deal that will bring you salvation if you can fulfill it…

Or bring you damnation if you can’t…

Play as an MC that wishes to see the world up above; is it everything like you’ve imagined?

Make a deal with a sea sorcerer that can have damaging influences on your future. Or possibly it’ll be the best thing that ever happened to you.

Interact with a variety of people as you get involved with what humans call “courting”.

Get used to the world up above as you try to find your true love.

Meet the wondrous beasts known to humans as horses (and even befriend your very own) as people try to woo you (and you try to woo them).

Customizable MC: name, gender, appearance, sexuality, and a smattering of other things that could crop up.

Romance 1 of 5 possible options; from a dashing rogue to the very individual that you made the deal with.

Will you be reminded of the castle back home in Atlantis? With all of the double talk and shadowed intentions?

Will you find your true love?

Or will you fail and pay the price?

Edward/Elizabeth Bolton [M/F] - The Heir

28 [6’3” | Crystalline Blue Eyes | Raven Black Hair]

One of the most eligible individuals within the season. An individual that has never paid anyone— besides polite conversation— any attention. That is, of course, until they spot you from across the room. The smile that lit up their face could illuminate the entire room; you might just be the thing they’ve always been looking for you. As they might be the thing you’ve been searching for too.

“I couldn’t believe my eyes when I first saw you, darling.” The words are said softly; barely a breath of air between you both. “I know how that must sound but from the first moment I saw you I knew. I knew you were it for me. My eyes adored you from then on but my soul and heart are the ones that have fallen in love with you.”

Richard/Regina Axton [M/F] - The Soldier

31 [5’9” | Light Green Eyes | Dark Brown Hair]

A highly decorated officer within the Royal Navy; they don’t often come to court but this season was different. They finally wanted to settle down and build a life with the person they love most. Having, a slightly naive, hope that they’d fine that very person within this very season. Hoping that they’d find someone who’ll love them and not their station in life. You might be the answer to their silent prayers.

“I know that I’m not everyone’s first pick,” they murmur softly, gently cupping your cheek in their hand. “But I hope that you know that you’ll always be mine. No matter what I’ll always be there for you.”

Henry/Helena Hale [M/F] - The Flirt

29 [6’0” | Hazel Eyes | Golden Blonde Hair]

Heartthrob and heartbreaker is a common comparison when it comes to the elusive Hale Heir; an individual that hasn’t let anyone near them— except for promises of a good time— since the accident seven years before. Will you be able to crack the shell— comprised of witty remarks, salacious smiles, and sly jokes— or will they forever remain an enigma to you?

“I don’t fall in love, don’t you get that?” The statement is practically hissed out as they turn away from you; one of their hands running through their curls. “I don’t do roses and moonlit dinners. I don’t do happily ever afters but God do I want to do that with you.”

Scott/Scarlett Reid [M/F] - The Scotsman

28 [5’11” | Blue-Green Eyes | Dark Auburn Hair]

An individual that was almost as new to the court season as you were. Hailing from a little town within Scotland; they find all of the intricacies of the people within the court to be quite amusing. With a warm smile, a welcoming air, and a genuine compassion for those around them, you weren’t surprised that many were quite taken with them already. Would you be the one to gain their attention?

“I may not have a lot of money, dearest one.” The admission, although you were well aware of the fact beforehand, causes them to pause slightly; the slightest furrowing of their brow becoming more pronounced. “But, I promise you that as long as I have you I could never be poor. You’re all the treasure I could ever ask for and more.”

Caelum/Caelya Lancaster [M/F] - The Sorcerer

??? [6’6” | Silver Eyes | Platinum Blonde Hair]

You’ve heard whispers your entire life about the magical entity that even your father fears; an entity that can make dreams come true as easily as they can turn them into nightmares. When you first meet them you weren’t expecting the being that greeted you. The chilling gaze, saccharine smile, and husky purr meshing into a package that could only ever be likened to them, which is why you could spot them so easily from across the ballroom.

“If you fulfill our deal, my little star, then you’ll live happily ever after with whatever creature you meet up above. But—” Their grin turns into a devious smirk as they lean closer; eyes flashing with warning as their voice drops to a low husk. “If you can’t then you’ll be mine and I don’t plan on letting you go.”

[humantrashcan2000]

I promised myself that I would post more on my accounts; this is me trying.

SO I mentioned that I got really into Interactive fiction, and I hope that I don't sound stupid.

There's demos right, and they have a few chapters. Would I need to go to the creator's Patreon/site that they use or wait for the demo to be updated into like...the full book? I know coding is a shit ton of work and some people get super tired/writers block can be a bitch.

[tulipplays]

Hi! Usually you just have to wait for the demo to be updated. But some authors have longer versions on their Patreon available! Or they have them on itch.io if they converted their game to twine. Getting into IF demos is like a long waiting game lol but the excitement when a game fully drops is SO worth it! I hope this answers your questions, if it doesn’t I can clarify!

[tulipplays]

I really want to find some people in the IF community to talk about games with and maybe make some friends!

[if-rabbithole]

“Oh, you can’t help that,” said the Cat: “we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.”

You are a soldier in service of the Red Queen.

It goes like this: you are an orphan, you were conscripted into the Cards as a child, and you were trained to be absolutely loyal to the Monarchy. There's thousands of people with similar stories. What sets you apart from your peers though, is the fact that you’ve been having dreams of somewhere beyond the red and black tiles.

A place where flowers don't sing, and where mice don't talk. A place where you were loved. A place where you had a family.

As the years tick by, it becomes easier to keep your mouth shut and ignore the dreams. Your reality is only supposed to be the axe in your hands, and the number tattooed to your shoulder.

It’s only when a heavily injured stranger crashes through a mirror that you learn the truth – long ago, it was prophesied a savior from a distant land would bring an end to the tyrannical reign and usher in a new age of peace and prosperity.

You’re not special. You were a hapless kid who fell down a rabbit hole and was conscripted into the military at twelve. But you’ve just been handed a chance to return home via the savior literally falling into your lap, and you'd be a fool to pass it up.

Good thing you’re handy with a blade!

FEATURES

A customizable main character, including gender, appearance, and personality.

Five characters to befriend or romance.

The world's most annoying talking cat.

Destruction of royal property.

Questionable moral choices.

ROMANTIC OPTIONS

ELLIS LIDDELL [he/him]: The stranger. The hero. Charming and kind hearted, you can't shake the feeling that you've seen him before.

THATCHER WHITE [he/him]: The second son and last heir of the late White Queen. Reticent and haunted by his past, Thatcher is determined to retake his rightful spot on the throne.

JABBERWOCKY [she/her]: A shapeshifter who lives in Tulgey Wood. Fiercely defensive of her home and fellow denizens, she's hellbent on destroying the Queen.

CHESHIRE [they/them]: A trickster hiding behind a disarming smile and a sharp wit. You don't know what their goal is, but for now they seem to be content with helping you.

CROW [gender selectable]: Head executioner of the Red Queen. Someone you thought was irredeemable.

DEMO | CHARACTERS | PLAYLIST

[royally-screwed-if]

It was supposed to be a fun vacation; where you could escape your hectic life in New York. Just a weekend of cocktails and trashy music with your best friends. Instead you wake up on the morning you were supposed to leave with a shiny ring on your finger and a stranger beside you.

Your mother would be so proud of you.

The icing on the cake? You later find out that your new spouse is the heir to a country you have never even heard of. An heir that has been away for the past year, gallivanting around the globe, before they return to take the throne.

You couldn’t have just stayed in your beautiful apartment for the weekend, could you? No. Now you’re on a private jet flying to a country you only just googled. With a person that offered you everything you could ever want.

Pretend to be happily married until they can take the throne and you’ll be rewarded handsomely.

It’s only for a few weeks… nothing bad can happen, right?

Features

This story is 18+; please be aware of this before continuing further.

Reminder that this is a fun, romance focused story. This isn’t about the MC somehow conquering a foreign kingdom. You’ll have to look elsewhere if you’re expecting that (I apologize). Have fun with this modern day royal romance story!

Customizable MC: name, gender, appearance, sexuality, a bit of your background, some vices you may have, and a smattering of other things that’ll crop up as the story continues.

Romance 1 of 5 romance options; 3 of which are gender customizable.

Fall in love with the Royal that the whole world seems to have misunderstood or find happiness with a person that wasn’t expecting love. Or anything in between.

Keep tabs on what’s happening at home. As well as making sure your friends aren’t having too much fun without you. At least until they arrive for the Christmas festival.

Fall in love with the winter landscape of a county you’ve never even seen. Picturesque landscapes dazzling all those that look upon them.

Who will you kiss underneath the mistletoe?

Character Information Under the Cut…

Caleb/Carina Laurent, 28 (M/F)

-The Heir-

The heir to the Kingdom of Andoria and your new spouse. A charming individual that many assume to be a player of some caliber. Of course, you’re the first person to ever actually get close enough to figure out if that’s true. A first hand account of someone they’re not actively trying to sleep with. It’ll be an interesting couple of weeks in the castle.

Jamie Dornan // Margot Robbie

Kendall Pierce, 27 (M/F)

-The Guard-

Head of Security is only one of the many hats that this individual dones; Royal Babysitter is another one that is often fondly used. As Kendall enjoys mother henning their best friend. It’s only a small price to pay to have someone like the heir of Andoria in their life. Is a very warm and generous person to everyone they meet. Although they’re very protective of the Royal Family.

Keith Powers // Kat Graham

Damon/Diana Lewis, 34 (M/F)

-The Council-

The one person that is able to make sense of this mess; something that is desperately needed in a time like this. Their calm approach, and countenance, being the one thing that was desperately needed. It was only as you start to get closer that you start to realize it may be something else that causes you to react in such a way to their presence.

Eric Winter // Elizabeth Hurley

Holly Ellis, 25 (F)

-The Barkeep-

A vibrant individual that is mainly concerned about if she’ll get the next order right. She doesn’t have time to deal with the nonsensical issues that seem to plague the higher ups. Which might just be something that you need in such a time like this. Reminding you of a place that you had left behind but only time will tell how everything will end up going.

Victoria Justice

Ryder Li, 29 (M)

-The Reporter-

With the news of your marriage it was of no surprise that reporters would be flocking the small country of Andoria. You were surprised you hadn’t been completely swarmed when you stepped off the private jet. Ryder is just another face in the crowd, at first, but there’s something different about him. A genuine warmth that seems to set him apart from the rest of the individuals he calls coworkers. Maybe you’ll be able to discover if that’s just surface level.

Manny Jacinto

Notable Side Characters

Alexandra Laurent, 47 (F)

-The Queen-

The current ruler of Andoria; commonly referred to as Lexa within her close circle of trusted advisors and friends. She’s a fairly stoic woman with a heart of a gold. Who absolutely adores her people and her country with everything in her. Only her family, and her need to protect them, comes first. She’s more than welcoming to you but you can’t help but be nervous near her.

Kate Beckinsale (with a little bit of Angelina Jolie)

Kieran Laurent, 12 (M)

-The Sibling-

The younger brother to C and it seems charm runs in the family. With his dimpled smile, mop of curly hair, and warm eyes, you know that Kieran was going to win many of your friends over. His over excited personality definitely meshing with some people in your friend group. It’s a wonder to see C interact with Kieran; turning just as excitable as they see their favorite person in the whole world.

Marilyn Monroe, 28 (F)

-The Best Friend-

No not that Marilyn Monroe, obviously, but you try to tell her that when she’s drunk. Mary has been your friend for a very long time; since birth pretty much. Sticking by your side throughout everything and becoming roommates with you when you first moved to New York City. You now live in your own apartment, and she in hers, but you’ll always remember those chaotic years. And Marilyn makes sure you’ll have new memories to add in the collection.

Greta Scarano

Mulder (M) & Scully (F), 5 and 3

-The Babies-

A beautiful pair of Utonagan siblings, Scully being the more stoic younger sister of Mulder, that absolutely adore being near the Royal Family of Andoria. You will never see two happier dogs then these two when they’re finally allowed to run around the castle grounds; preferably with their human family close by.

[tulipplays]

The Rosy Ones demo was sooo good! I was so into the world building and all the characters I forgot there were only three chapters out 😭

The story had me going through so many emotions and I really felt bad for my character lol. My rose tail was very much the kind of character that doesn’t open up and is going to have a hard time making friends lol, but I really LOVED the angels and the dormitory roommates were so cool I can’t wait to find out more.

This is definitely a WIP I’ll be watching and eagerly awaiting the next update!

Also a dialogue option that make me laugh so hard:

[rosygames-archive]

Saw this on The Rosy Ones tag and boy am I glad I did. This is so cute and encouraging, I'm so glad you liked the demo! ❤❤❤

[tulipplays]

WAIT THE AUTHOR REBLOGGED DHSJSHSJSJJAKAKA

You’re glad I like it? I’m glad you made it!

It was a really enjoyable playthrough so I just had to post about it lol. I was going to link the forum post about it on there but then I was like “who’s actually gonna see this?” WELL 😂

Anyway, I’m cheering you on author! Hope you have a really good day!

Also a dialogue option that make me laugh so hard:

[offscriptif]

Are you the Villain of the story?

Well, you were supposed to be.

Off Script is a 18+ Fantasy Interactive Fiction adventure set in the world of “Kingdom of Starlight” the popular visual novel you played before your death. 

Content Warning: The story will deal with the consequences of bullying, as well as violence typical from the fantasy genre and will deal with heavy issues such as redemption.

It’s been six years since you left the Ophiuchus Kingdom and the death flags it holds. It’s been six years since you remembered your past life and realized that you had the tremendous bad luck of being reborn as the Villain of “Kingdom of Starlight”, the visual novel you had been playing before your sudden death. 

It’s been six years since you tried to escape Fate.

Now you are being called back to your brother’s side to take his place as the future leader of the Duchy of Navis.

The stage is set with your past mistakes. It’s up to you to choose if you want to fall back into the same patterns or break free from Fate and survive.

Your choice.
