OVERKILL is an interactive ISAT fancomic. Vaugarde is under attack by a Theater themed deity named: The Director. A Theater Curse and a Blood Curse attack the lands, and it's up to the Party (who are more fitting to their title roles) to kill them to save the world. But things are never that simple, are they?

Q: What is this AU?
A: Hard mode AU, everything is upped to extremes to the point of "overkill." Party Members fit their given roles; Theater themed villain.
Q: What is the tone?
A: A more intense, grim story. Siffrin's misery is turned up to an eleven. But it still retains the original's comedy and found family themes. There's hope.
Q: What's new?
A: There are two new curses that plague Vaugarde.
1) The Theater Curse, where people become puppets
2) The Blood Curse, where people rot when alive.
A: The King has been replaced with the Director, a minor deity who is actively ending the world.
Q: What Curse do the Siffrins have?
A: Our main Siffrin has the Blood Curse. He's at stage 3 and his eye became nonfunctional due to the Curse. He'll periodically bleed.
His Curse worsens from magic waves or from specific intense emotions. These are more frequent within the Theater Labyrinth (House-equivalent)
Our other Siffrin, "Dusk," has the "ghost" curse, where nobody but a Siffrin can see them.
Q: Who are the other Siffrins?
A: There's the one we follow the story of:
- Dawn (Our playable character Siffrin)
- Dusk (The "goth" loner Siffrin)
- Lupus (The child Siffrin)
- Loop (The unhelpful guide Siffrin)
- Boulder (The dead one under the bolder)
- The Comedy Director (ISAT Bad ending)
- Sunrise (Mirror Dawn)
- The Tragedy Director (Mirror Director)
Q: Do you ship anyone?
A: Not really. I've warmed up to Isafrin, but that's going to be a subplot, same as canon.
Siffrin self shipping is not a thing here, past canon-typical teasing. The Director also uses this is a manipulation tactic, but backs out of it.
EDIT: ok it's gay now. Romance is a subplot but this story involves no romantic dating
Q: Will Bonnie or Lupus ever get harmed in the story?
A: Absolutely not. Only adult Siffrins were harmed in the making of this story.
Q: Can I make fanart? Theories? Analysis etc.?
A: Yes!!! please @/ me!!!!!! tag me! i want to see!!!! While I don't ship things, as long as it's not too suggestive I will reblog it.
Q: Can I use your art for my PFP?
A: Yep, long as it's credited.
Q: Who runs the blog?
A: Starlightshore (Artist/writer) and Pedro Diogo (Co-Director/writer)
Q: What are those Theater Curse tag?
A: Theater Curse and its strains: Comedy Curse, Tragedy Curse, Parenting Curse, Theater Curse etc. are a Curse caused by the Director that mindcontrols its victims to be puppets performing a role.

"Hey Dusk, Isabeau said he'd be willing to draw you today. If we swap clothes and I copy your poses, we should be able to pull it off. Are you interested in that?"
[Overkill is made by Pedro and Sam]
transcript below:
(You remember what you talked about with Isabeau last night.)
Hey, dusk. Isabeau said he'd draw you today.
M-me?! He wants to draw me?!
Oh! Can I be next?
Aw, I'll draw you Lupus.
No! I want to draw dusk too!
You can both... draw me... if you want???
Let's switch clothes! Come on, dusk! It'll be fun.
...
(Are they blushing? But it's just clothes???)
And then I can mimic your poses, it'll be a full on fashion show.
Are you sure you're up for that?
M-M-Mmm'dame you don't need to watch!
Oh, I'll watch, alright. This is a public fashion show, isn't it?
……..I guess! Huhaaha ha ha!
(You remove your cloak and hat. Dusk follows along.)
(Brr... the Labyrinth is a bit cold.)
(Normally, you'd be too busy bleeding when your cloak is off to notice.)
...
AAAA!!!!! Cute!!! What the crab, that's so cute!?!!
That's what dusk wears? It's similar.
And dramatic! I love how the lightless looks on you!
purely-for-fun question: how's it work if you put a blanket over both dusk AND dawn? it can't just, like, disappear, because dawn is under it, right? would there be a dusk-shaped invisible lump?
// the blanket would be invisible, as it'd count as clothes. dawn would be seen, but not dusk.

// anon i'd prefer not to post your message but i literally have no idea what you're talking about 😭 i have to assume you're misremembering or your mind invented it (not accusing or implying that's a bad thing, people's memories are WAY less reliable than society likes to act like it is! its perfectly natural and normal)
OOC: You know, with the subject of Siffrin's body coming up relatively recently, it's interesting that their biological sex also seems to be randomized with each outer loop, since that presumably has just as little to do with whatever wish causes the loops to happen as their favorite shade, clothing, and various other physical features.
// i don't know where you're getting this information? /neutral
// i'll say this because i'm pretty sure i've said this before and if i haven't, oops! but they're physically the same person biologically. there's timeline differences that extend past a year, but the whole point is that they're the same person.
// also, i'd really prefer not to clarify/discuss the outer loop stuff and just let the work speak for itself. i'm happy to see you engaged with the work, but i don't want to author-speak! please find someone else to talk to about it. i'm gently asking for people to not to send asks regarding how the outer loop stuff work, especially because people like to make "deadfrins" and i don't wanna accidentally de-canonize their work out of the blue.
for your textboxes do you use kongkrog's textbox maker site and if so, how do you get them to work? it doesn't load any images i put in unless i turn it to gif mode and i'd like to know if you've got any info on that
// i couldn't get get kongkrog's textbox maker to work on mobile, but on desktop you can right click new tab and then save
// but i've stopped using that and now use gold's textbox instead. which is super awesome! i'd much prefer it
