Summary: This is going to be an urban dark fantasy interactive fiction game targeted at adults and focused on romance. This means there won't be an option to not romance anyone, I know this might be disappointing but it's the game we want to make. It will be ran on ChoiceScript and the demo will be published here on our Tumblr when the first chapter is completed. It will be published through Dashingdon.
The game focuses on you, the eldest of a family of witches from the small, idyllic town of Ferngrove where nothing ever happens. Your family are witches in a town of humans, and as a result you grew up sheltered and unaware of the magical world, besides the little your parents deemed safe enough for you to know. Other than weak charms and potions of luck, you don't really know anything about the supernatural world. You left Ferngrove when you graduated from high school and never looked back, becoming a successful journalist at the Echo Gazette in a big city like you always dreamed. Depending on your choices, you have Skyped with your family and they might have taken trips out to see you in the city, but you have not stepped foot back in your hometown.
That is, until you get a call that changes your life forever. Your mother is dead. Aleia Craft. The woman you thought invincible. You must travel home for the funeral and contend with a darker conspiracy. As you begin to unravel the mystery of your mother's death and the secrets she left behind, you begin to realise she is a woman you didn't know at all. Soon, you see that there are things at play here bigger than you could have ever imagined. Dark forces conspire against you. It will be up to you whether you can withstand the storm brewing on the horizon. Make allies and enemies, fall in love, hone your magic, and discover your legacy. Be careful who you trust, even those closest to you are not what they seem.

CORA/COLTON CALLOWAY
Your childhood best friend that disappeared and cut contact with you seven years ago, right when you were both meant to move to the big city and chase your dreams together. Now, you're back in your hometown for your mother's funeral after swearing never to return. There is a reckoning coming, you can feel it in the air. But when it arrives can you forgive them after everything that happened?
"I can’t abandon them. I’m all they have left."
REN ASHIKAGA
The reclusive stranger that runs an Airbnb out of their mansion on the edge of Ferngrove. An Airbnb that you just so happen to rent out when you finally return home for the funeral. A mansion is the last thing you expect after your tumultuous journey, but Ren provides a welcome distraction. They are aloof, mysterious, and frustratingly, unnaturally attractive. But be wary of pretty faces that hide dark secrets.
"You do not choose when darkness takes hold of you. You won't even realise it's happened until someday, far in the future, someone holds up a light and you come face to face with the horror you have become."
WYATT/WILLOW KING
A witch you meet when you return to Ferngrove, who claims to want to help you find your mother's killer. Kind, enigmatic, and more secretive than they let on. W's coven sent them to investigate what happened and help the witch community in Ferngrove. Will you let them train you in the art of the arcane and teach you what your mother tried to forbid? Or will you keep them at arm's length?
"Compassion costs nothing and so many people still refuse to use it."
JULES ADDARIO
The private investigator that arrives just in time to help you with the case after you have been struggling with the bumbling human police. Jules is dark, haughty, and a little more than crazy. They're hiding something and you know it. The question is can you trust them long enough to help you find your mother's killer and uncover the secrets your family kept buried? After all, some coffins are better left unearthed.
"I am utterly unlovable. And because I am unlovable I am selfish enough to want you to love me anyway."
