"am I supposed to be grateful, to have survived this?" —Brenna Twohy

Demo ( hoping for a late august release of both the prologue+ch1 ) | FAQ

same story.

same words repeated like a broken record.

you're alive. you're here.

how lucky you are.

you want to believe them, you wish they were right.

because how can you proceed with your life knowing something was taken from you one way or another back in those woods.

something that you can't remember because your mind is but endless static surrounding that night you fell.

miracle is what it's called, but miracles aren't supposed to leave you afraid of your own reflection. they're not supposed to make shadows linger where there shouldn't be any. or leave your skin prickling moments before something unseen slips just beyond your peripheral vision.

no one else notices; life in Willmore carries on as though nothing has changed.

nestled in the heart of the Pacific Northwest, Willmore is the kind of town where there's quiet lakes, mist-covered forests, weekend tourist hikers disappearing into the Rocking-Jay Woods for pleasure, a picturesque town that's peaceful, comforting, although for everyone but you.

and you're no longer certain surviving was the fortunate outcome everyone insists it was. because something much more [ REDACTED ]

But You Lived is a 18+ game that contains explicit language, explicit themes, death and blood, psychological distress, and much more that will be added throughout the development.

Create and customize your character (27y) by choosing your name, gender, pronouns, appearance, and personality as the way you approach conversations affect the way you perceive and are perceived.

Build—or destroy— your relationships. cultivate friendships, strengthen familial bonds, pursue romance against all odds. or allow grief, and fear push the people closest to you away.

Reject the notion of "survival" as you aim to piece together what happened the night everything changed. every answer opens another question, and every decision carries consequences as you realize [ REDACTED ].

Attend therapy at your mother's insistence. open up, remain guarded, cooperate or resist entirely. yet keep in mind that those choices aren't without repercussions.

Nadia Noori, 31y

came to be in town before you yourself have showed up. Nadia presents herself as an elegant, sharp-suited charming investor who arrived in town under the quiet suggestion of her parents to fund a new business. But beneath the polished, high-collared black coats and calculated demeanor lies a quiet storm driven by an intense, desperate need for freedom. She carries an isolating burden forcing her to channel a [ REDACTED ] into a fierce, protective virtue. A reluctant leader walking the fine line between tragedy and duty, Nadia dislikes causing harm, but she possesses a lethal, hidden capability that surfaces the moment she is pushed too far. crossing her path introduces you both into newfound variables that force Nadia to reconcile with [ REDACTED ].

'Ronan' Berg, 28y

a couple of years back, Ronan came to Willmore to get his hands dirty as a local car mechanic, a role that mirrors his gritty edge. With a black leather jacket, and a severe case of "prey animal rage," he behaves like a cornered fighter constantly bracing for a hit. He actively weaponizes a terrible, aggressive reputation to mask a deep internal panic and chronic, defensive anger. A walking contradiction who is fiercely hostile on the outside, he silently suffocates under a warped paranoia, keeping everyone at arm's length to protect the fractured boundaries of a life he is desperate to keep guarded. the path you cross with Ronan is far from what one would call ideal, but as push comes to shove, Ronan is forced to face the 'peaceful' lifestyle he cultivated.

Michelle,

your mother, the warmth that she once exuded used to fill the house you grew up in, yet ever since the death of your father things have changed. everything settled into a quiet routine that replaced affection with concern as none of you knew how to address it. her insistence and own choice for you to attend therapy may come from love still or fear.

Allison\Aliston "Alice", 29y

your older sibling who once was your closest friend before simply being a family member, they did most of the caring once your father died. you guys shared everything growing up, until life quietly pulled you onto separate paths which introduced fractures you didn't understand the cause behind. what remains is fragile, and complex and whether your relationship heals or finally breaks depends on the choices you make.

Poppy Miller, Felix Solares, and Sophie\Sophian "Soph" Belec (Trans)

meet the seventeen-old-trio behind Willmore's local website called West of Willmore; a site dedicated to documenting the town's history, strange sightings, and forgotten folklore. curious, determined, and always chasing their next story either by interrogating locals or tourists, they may become invaluable allies.

Jasmine "Jas" Martin, 45y

your therapist, or the therapist your mother picked for you, refuses to settle for easy answers. calm, composed, and refreshingly direct, she has an unesttling talent for seeing through half truths, it's up to you to either permit her help without revealing much about your circumstances, or refuse the aid she's giving despite the insisting.

.....and a couple more characters whose presence is dependent on the choices and paths you've picked

᯽ Welcome to the realm of Elphame. 

Every fae is bound to the truth. And you are the only exception. You are the only fae who can lie.

✦︎ DEMO ✦︎ (tba) CHARACTERS ✦︎ LORE COMPANION ✦︎ CW (tba)

Every fae, half-blood or not, is inherently bound to speak no falsehoods. Unable to lie, they have instead perfected the art of bending the truth. Centuries of bargains and curses have earned them humanity's fear and reluctant respect alike.

You were born of those two worlds, a half-fae shunned by both. But you carried within an anomaly, an aberration on the Queen's sacred image, the ability to lie.

To keep your secret safe, the renowned sage known as the Peregrine took you in as their disciple. And under their patronage, you survived beyond the realm's scrutiny for most of your life.

Until now. When their disappearance forces you into the very world that would condemn you.

To uncover the truth, take your house's seat at the court in lieu of your missing mentor. ​Clear your name and unravel Elphame's secrets, twisting words and hearts alike.

᯽ MC Customization: Choose your name, alias, gender, pronouns, appearance, personality and orientation.

᯽ Patron and House: Choose your house's heritage, crest and name, as well as your history with your mentor.

᯽ Cast and Relationships: Meet 5 romanceable characters (4 of whom are gender selectable). Romance, befriend and antagonize them as you play.

᯽ Navigate the Fae Court: Explore Elphame and shape its story through your choices, ideals and lies. Discover the secrets hidden in the gaps across the seasonal courts, the grand archives and the forgotten corners of the realm of the fair folk.

᯽ Uncover the Peregrine's Mystery: Piece together the mysteries behind your mentor's disappearance, their hidden notes and their strange research into the Queen of Elphame.

᯽ The Prince/ss 

Alias: The Envoy/The Human In Gold. Name: Yvaine/Ywain.

Human. Gender Selectable. (She/Her. He/Him.)

A royal diplomat sent to negotiate with the courts. But you know the plain, grim truth. The gilded envoy is a tithe, a martyr that the human realm believed would appease the Fae Queen. However, refusing to play the victim, the Prince/ss gravitates to you, proposing an alliance to survive in the pit of glistening vipers you were both mercilessly thrown into.

᯽ The Knight/ess

Alias: The Raven/Winter's Retainer. Name: ???

Half-Unseelie. Winter Court. Gender Selectable. (She/Her. He/Him.)

Your childhood friend and the first proof you had that other half-bloods cannot lie. Years ago, they left to serve the Winter Court. When they came back, you found that shy friend changed into a somber, solemn weapon. Though you suspect their work is darker than they let on, around you, that old innocent smile almost returns. You are the only person that still manages to make them laugh.

᯽ The Rival

Alias: The Nemesia/The Autumn Paradigm. Name: ???

Seelie. Autumn Court. Gender Selectable. (She/Her. He/Him.)

Your patron was supposed to be theirs, and they have despised you for stealing their prodigious spot ever since.  Even now, standing high as the Paradigm of Autumn, the sour expression on their face betrays they were never able to get you out of their head. They seem to believe you to be behind the disappearance of your own mentor, and have resorted to hounding you for a confession.

᯽ The Sovereign

Alias: The Dreamstalker/The Night Sovereign. Name: ???

Unseelie. Gender Selectable. (Fem. or Masc.) (They/Them.)

A mysterious unseelie entity who first began tormenting you in your sleep. But since your arrival at the courts, you find them stalking empty halls and appearing to you when you're alone. They seem to be aware of your secrets, testing and teasing you to pry lies from your lips. As they offer favors and hidden knowledge, you begin to wonder if they might be involved with your mentor's disappearance.

᯽ The Herald

Alias: The Specter/The Exiled One. Name: ???

Fae. (They/Them.)

You've heard rumours about a specter, an entity so strange even the fae have made rules for. And that such specter is said to collect all that is hidden, discarded and forgotten. If for some ill-fated reason you choose to summon the Herald, do not meet them without an offering, and never accept flowers from the Exile.

⚙ Hello! This project is a prototype I'm developing, please let me know if you'd be interested in playing! If there's interest, the full RO Profiles, their art and the Lore Companion for this version of a fae world should be coming in the following weeks, and then finally the first part of the demo build! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

All art and assets were done by me. (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ) I have a lot of fun drawing them, but please feel free to imagine them as you'd like.

Hi guys! the new update is here! For public demo, It's mostly hangout scenes with Aeren and Xuling (46K), as for patreon demo it's around 33K.

There's a mini puzzle section if you choose to help Xuling in her store, but I haven't fully tested all the options, so please tell me if you find some bugs. The puzzle is simple enough, but if you find some difficulties, please let me know too.
