sooooo, i wanted to make this because i apparently cant reblog and i have no idea why. (i'm referencing the little...challenge? however you want to call it by @drinkyourvillainjuice.

anyway here it is, i also added a few fanfics just cause.

The Second Sight @spoiledblog (demo) You’re an urban legend in a county full of them. When you were thirteen, you were found passed out in the road by one of the local cops. No missing persons report. No fingerprints on file. No memories. Just a name.Oh, and some bizarre psychic powers.You're content with simplicity. You like your isolated cabin and helping Carter track down missing persons. You know that in theory there are more people like you out there, but you've never wanted to look behind the curtain to find out.However, with the disappearance of a local teen named Casey Powell and a recent attempt on your foster father's life, your serene, isolated life comes abruptly to its end and a new chapter begins.

After The End @albywritesfiction (demo)

Your former fiancé and heir apparent of the Aurelian Kingdom, Prince Ædan, has married the love of his life, the fair Saintess Helene. As the nation celebrates their union, you are left alone to pick up the pieces of your broken heart... until you receive two letters. One is an invitation to the office of Prince Ædric, the crown prince's younger brother and rival for the throne. The other is a letter filled with concern from your childhood friend and secretary-in-training, Cyfrin, who is currently assisting your father at your family’s ducal estate in the countryside. Each letter contains a proposition that will change the course of your fate forever.

Which one will you choose?

God-Cursed @wings-of-ink (Demo)

you were found as a newborn, clutched in the arms of your dead mother at the base of a tree. No family came to claim you, but the men who came to your rescue adopted you as their own and became the only parents you’ve ever known. Growing up in the village of Stonebrook, you never want for much, until the day you first fall ill. Life plagues you with a mysterious condition that no one can diagnose or cure. You never know when it will strike or if it will eventually kill you. Living between fear and hope as you age, you try to come into your own as an adult with the ever-looming threat above you. As years pass, your condition seems to improve, until a mysterious mark appears on your body and opens up new questions.

It appears that you’re marked for death with no answers as to why, and your only chance to survive is to go out and seek them.

Journey through the land of Iroda, a fantasy world where the gods have abandoned their people and magic no longer prevails as it once did. Something is brewing that may change this world forever, and you’re in the middle of it, though your role is a mystery you must solve. Wanted dead by some and alive for mysterious purposes by others, you just want to survive. With the help of a few friends, find the answers that you need, and make your choices.

Before We are Ghosts @anjiefiction (DEMO) When a powerful villain threatens the safety of Metamora, you and the city’s heroes go to great lengths to stop him, and ultimately you are forced to pay the biggest price of all.(Against all odds, the heroes win. The victory is hollow.)The doctors are professional, if not sympathetic. They tell you that your body is in the process of slowly shutting down. No, they aren’t sure why. No, there isn’t a cure. When you ask how much time you have left, the faces grow dark. Perhaps a year, they say. Two if you’re lucky.(You thought you could rest. You thought wrong again.)For as threats resurge and the past rears its ugly head, you can only wonder: Do you have the strength to see things through? Will there be enough time?And when the end comes, can you find the courage to say goodbye?

more than me @ryanstillwrites-if (Demo) On a Wednesday morning, you leave your doctor's office with the diagnosis of an inoperable brain tumour and the knowledge of an estimated four months left to live.Suddenly left without any direction in your life, you find yourself in a support group for the terminally ill. Where you expected to find sadness, melancholy and a looming sense of dread at thought of a fast approaching death - all the same feelings you harbour - you find smiles and laughter instead.You're drawn in by the people you meet there, curious and confused by their carefree attitudes. They're kind to you, they take you in, they turn your frown upside down - literally and figuratively. And just when you think you might be beginning to accept your fate; they decide to throw all caution to the wind and whisk you away on the adventure of a lifetime.You don't know what will come of the next four months but with your new friends at your side, you're excited to find out. After all, this is the only life you've been given, and though it may be ending soon; you might as well live it to the fullest.

Omen of Ice @omen-of-ice (no demo) The North has been all that you’ve known your whole life— residing within its icy landscape as part of House Eirlys; Wardens of the North. You’ve never thought you’d one day leave to head south to Vela’thian— the kingdom of the elvhen— much less that you’d head there due to your betrothal with the king himself.What will await you once you arrive? Is everything as it seems? Or is there something more brewing beneath the surface of the seemingly pristine nation?Will you find your way back home? Or will you find something, or someone, worth staying for?Let’s see how your story unfolds…

Mons Immortalium @mons-immortalium-if (DEMO) Mons Immortalium is a fantasy romance interactive story.

Break curses, fall in love and beware of wicked faeries. Whatever you do, never give them your true name!

In the Cards @inthecards (demo)

You've always had psychic powers. Reading auras, speaking with the dead, and channeling spiritual energy through runes - these number just a few of the things you're capable of. It's not an unusual gift in the kingdom of Khepris, though it's uncommon enough that you've only met a few other people with such abilities in your small hometown.

After a plague sweeps through the kingdom, unrest bubbles up in the realm known as the Beyond, home to fae and spirits alike. A group of fae who call themselves the Butterfly Court are testing the boundaries between your worlds, and they don't seem to care what harm they may be causing along the way.

With a deck of tarot cards imbued with mystical powers in your possession, you're pulled into the struggle against the Butterfly Court. You must join one of two organizations - the King's Guardians or the Hounds - in order to fight back against this mysterious court… or risk losing everything.

Parasitical @parasitical-if (DEMO)

His flesh, our sustenance. His blood, our drink. His bones, our foundation, His body, our haven.

Five hundred years ago, the Earth was dying. Water polluted, dirt infertile, forests and meadows crumbling to the wars of steel and fire. And so the Order called His Grace, the Lord of Communion, down from where he rested before and He allowed humanity to rest inside his body.

Or at least, that's the story the Order tells.

You grew up under the masked faces of their Exalted, under the stories of Earth past. Rusted metal and cracked plastic; His bone and His flesh. Conflicting worlds, conflicting times, and soon, it might all come to a head.

crown of ashes and flames @coeluvr (demo) The war had taken everything from you.King Luceris had taken everything from you.You were just nine years old when all of this happened. One moment you were in your room sleeping and the next you were walking through smoke and ash trying to find your parents.Love, he said, was the reason he started the war. Ironically, you lost everything you loved but you also lost yourself when he let you survive and dragged you away to his home.In a new Kingdom with no one on your side what choices will you make to survive? Who will you become?Inside of you, there’s something burning for revenge and there’s only one thing I want to tell you. Let it out.

Bleeding Heart @bleedingheart-if (Demo) Congratulations, you got engaged. Whether that is good or bad is ultimately up to you.Shortly after your engagement, your fiancé sets out on a journey to the distant lands of Transylvania, a real estate opportunity that proved too irresistible to decline.With your wedding temporarily on hold, you don't hesitate to respond when your childhood friend Lucy implores you to pay her a visit, seeking your company and counsel with an urgent matter concerning her very own future.The strangeness begins as you arrive in Whitby, a charming coastal town where the Westenra's estate resides.

checkmatein 3 moves @checkmatein3moves (DEMO) YOU are the heir; the child of one of the most powerful women on Oracle Island. When she’s accused of murdering her sister almost forty years prior after the revelation of a suspicious anonymous tip, her power falls to you — but so will her reputation.Many questions present themselves: is your mother a killer? Who wants to see her fall for it? Who will make the next move in the inevitable game? Can you play as well as the rest of them?The Elite Class are full of blood and schemes. Your generation carries the scars of those before them, and thus you all must join the game or face the consequences. But dark intentions are cloaked in silk and diamonds, and the heady taste of power corrupts like an infection.

The Abyssal Song @ri-writes-if (DEMO) In the underworld kingdom, where demons fight for survival against the abyssal monsters, you are just an Oracle. In the distant past the Oracles were at the top of the demonic hierarchy, but those golden days are long gone. You did what you were most afraid to do and now sit under arrest in the royal palace.When the Abyss sends you a vision of a terrible disaster that will happen in the future, you make an inevitable “deal” with the Sovereign to try to change the future and improve your abilities, not only to become stronger and learn more about the coming disaster, but also in an attempt to achieve mind stability.However, what has been happening to you since you received the vision makes you think that you are already slowly but surely losing your mind.Will you be able to maintain your sanity and help others protect the kingdom, or will you become just another name in the long list of Oracles gone mad?

the lonely shore @thelonelyshore-if (DEMO) Meet me at the cabin. Please.You weren’t sure what to make of it. A cryptic late night text sent from your younger sibling, begging you to meet up at your family’s old lake home. The plea for help was as concerning as it was confusing. As far as you knew, neither of you had set foot in the cabin in a decade. You had your hesitations, but Willow seemed desperate. You couldn’t help but oblige.Everything goes downhill fast when Willow's research into childhood ghost stories lands you in a town that doesn't exist. A town where people go missing at an alarming rate, where things that aren't quite human run businesses with hungry eyes, where time runs differently.A town you can't leave.Something about Easthaven is wrong. A supernatural fog permeates the town, so thick you could choke…but you’re one of the only people who seems to notice it. You’re quick to realize the fog keeps the residents ignorant, keeps them passive, keeps them trapped. When people who have long since gone missing start coming back home, you realize Easthaven’s mysteries go deeper than you could have ever imagined.

Kenneski @devilishmango (here)You were ripped away from your home, your life- all because you were accused of using magic. Sent away on carriages, bursting full of others like you, being brought to Kenneski Prison. It’s a prison made specifically to hold those that can wield magic, making it so you are powerless. It’s a death sentence for most that go there. But not for you.

stagnation @stagnation-if (DEMO) It's the year 2524, and you're a defeated God/Goddess/Deity in a place and time where your kind is rarely needed anymore. After being locked away and thought to be dead for nearly a millennia, you wake up.

The Fall of House Black @endemise (DEMO) The fall of House Black, your house, was an imminent thing. A name had never been so cursed that all it could do was bring about death.First, your younger sister in a swimming accident, then your older brother in a case of mistaken identity. As the rest of your family sought to grieve and bring justice to your brother, your older sister was killed in a hunting accident at the end of your father’s bow.The three of you, mother, father, and child, became inconsolable. Broken beyond repair. Your mother unable to bear the weight of life any longer took her own while your father disappeared, gone into the night. When you remain the sole survivor of House Black, you know you must leave, and on the night of your decision, your home goes up in flames with you inside.Then, you awake, dazed with no recollection of anything, and when you look down at your body, you scream. It is wrong. So wrong.

Drink Your Villain Juice @drinkyourvillainjuice (demo) Everyone knows that superpowers come about through three distinct methods.One can be born to their abilities, see them emerge in a moment of great strife, or acquire them through extensive cybernetic augmentation.Everyone is wrong.You’d know. If only that knowledge—and your snazzy slash horrible powers—didn’t come with a host of strings attached. Too bad that was an offer you couldn’t refuse.Did I mention one of the strings was supervillainy?Thrown headlong into a life of crime, balance conflicted loyalties, personal scars, and navigating a web of secrecy and deception, all while maintaining your cover.Above all, remember to drink your Juice. Your life depends on it.

The Gilded @the-gilded (Demo v1.2) Your younger brother, Leo, went missing three days ago. Your parents called the police, and they started investigating quickly. They were too late. Leo had already disappeared into the deepest part of the forest, where the mortals have vowed never to return. The police have offered to contact your family if Leo crosses the barrier back to the mortal side, but their investigation can’t go any further without inviting the wrath of the Fae.The winter solstice is approaching fast, which means that the High Fae are likely gathering mortal children for their great feast. The only way to get your brother back is to follow him into the forest and steal him back from the palace of the High Fae… If you can get there in one piece. The Fae forest is full of tricksters and killers, and you'll likely need some allies to help get you both back home.

VANGUARD @vanguard-if (PLAY) As a faering, you should want to keep to yourself. Your home is a safe haven where your dragon kin people reside; a place of true neutrality. There are no allies to the Midlands, nor are there enemies. Your people simply are, and this will not change.But you were never one much for rules, were you? With whispers of a certain prince in the Northlands allegedly receiving death threats from your docile leader, Cirrus, you could only slip away into the depths of the North to go see for yourself. It's so hilariously outrageous that your peace-loving ruler has such rumours teeming about them.You did not expect to find a bounty hunter bleeding out from her abdomen. And most of all, you did not expect her to know you by name, even through her raggedy breaths. And most of all, you did not expect her to have leads on the one you seek: the Northern Prince.

TWISTED GOLD @icaroif (DEMO) In the wake of an attack on your village that left your father dead and everybody you had ever known missing or the same, you are given one option; find your uncle in the Capital or else run for the hills and never look back. It was never really a choice anyway.

NINE BLOOD DANCES @nineblooddances-if [DEMO] You were a gift. Now to whom? No one knows.All that matters is that you are a gift and not like any of the others of your species. Uniqueness and importance oozes from every fiber of your being. You're important. Everyone says you're important. But why you're so important?Who knows?You must figure out what makes you so special and different. You must figure out what drives you through all circles. And you have to figure out why the nine commanders of Hell all have their eyes upon you and wish to have you by their side.All before the fall of the ninth moon.

Trouble Brewing @troublebrewing-if (Demo) it's all fun and games until someone loses a head!Quinn, your best friend, has brought you some awful news: your illustrious parents, having run out of potential mates for their brood, have set you up with the worst person you know -- Devon Bainbridge. Your intended is uncouth, self-indulgent, and ten years your senior.Of course, if no one can find you, the wedding's off, right?Make daring escape from your family's castle, get pressed into joining a rebellion, and find yourself fighting alongside a plucky bard, a brooding bandit, a naive idealist, and a fool-in-training. Escape marriage, join a rebellion, and find love… or sabotage it all.

ANECDOCHE @anecdoche-if (Demo) You wake up chained to a chair by one of the most notorious gangs in the country, only to be saved by one of the most famous hero organizations only a few moments later. Who wants you so badly that they would hire an entire gang to abduct you, and can you really trust the Supers that have been put in charge of your protection?

Blood of Morana @blood-of-morana (demo) You are one of the people, cursed with Morana’s magic, which gives you power over both winter and death. You can imagine that being one of the White Deaths hasn’t exactly made you the beacon of hope or the icon of popularity among your people. Worse yet, some of your magic has been sealed, making it impossible to witch away the inquisition.

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - An affair of the heart @doriana-gray-games (demo)

Play as your version of Sherlock Holmes in this romance detective game!

nemisi @elegy-if (demo) The struggle between cosmic deities — now worshiped (or abhorred) as gods — tore its way into your planet not long before you were born. Unlucky for you, you were one of the first generations to be born exposed to Excinate, the name given to the radioactive-like sickness that comes from being exposed to magic not of your world. As you've built up a bit of an immunity to the more dire consequences, you were promptly ripped from your family after a doctor's visit when the Excinate got a bit too close to your childhood home. Since then, you’ve been shipped around and transported from facility to facility to be poked and prodded at.Until now. No, now you’re free.Aside from that lingering hunger for flesh you’ve had since becoming infected, of course. Just a little side effect from the radiation, along with a mouthful of jagged teeth and a jaw that can unhinge like a snake.

Burning Academia @burning-academia-if (Demo) You never thought you'd go to college, due to your circumstances. But you especially didn't dream you'd be forced to attend the prestigious Vales Grove University after being attacked by wraiths in their library. What started as a visit to a long time friend, ended with your hands burned, your innocence questioned, and the startling realization magic is real.To apologize for what's happened to you, or more accurately, to keep an eye on you, the Headmaster himself offers you enrollment with all fees waived. With no real choice in the matter, you become a student, and try to ignore the suspicion everyone throws your way. Besides, you have worse things to deal with.Like how you've started to attract ghosts and other dead things, or the fact that there is a very living thing inside your head, waiting for you to lower your guard and take control. And most pressing of all, managing your obligation to a family that hasn't been such a thing in years.Tread carefully, if the ghosts don't devour you, the university certainly might.

lightweaver: Chosen @lightweaver-chosen-if (DEMO) A world where elemental deities share a fraction of their powers to their chosen, bringing upon the age of weavers; humans with the ability to manipulate the elements of their patron.You have been chosen by a mysterious lightning deity—blessing you with the power to weave lightning. But with a troubled childhood haunting your every step, your new abilities present a double-edged sword.The choices you make, the support you receive, and the inner strength you harness define your journey—a journey fraught with anguish, but one that promises a life outside Mother’s grasp.Two divergent paths lay ahead.Will you let yourself heal and grow, or will you fall deeper into the void?

Talon's End @asheepinthenight (DEMO) You were never destined to marry for love.As the third child of the Earl of Eastthorn, your purpose is to marry to your family's advantage, but after one failed engagement already, your prospects are less than promising. So when the Crown calls upon you to infiltrate the lair of an Elven sorcerer in search of a powerful magical weapon, the offer is too good for your family to refuse.But leaving your respectable home to marry an immortal being of immense power quickly puts you in uncharted territory. Between your secretive, disagreeable spouse and their labyrinthine spire infested with strange creatures, your mission to uncover their secrets is risky from the start. But as you come to know both your partner and your new home at Talon's End, you discover terrors and wonders unlike anything you've known–and the true price of your mission.

bloodymarsupials1

The Aetherhollow Archive @aetherhollowarchive (DEMO) Four hundred years after the Chosen One failed to save their world, you find yourself in the shoes of the presumed, and freshly murdered, villain of the story - ostentatiously called Sovereign. You embark on a journey to unfold the mysteries of this new world and find a way home. But with your killer lurking in the shadows, who can you trust?

CRETACEOUS ISLAND @cretaceous-if (no demo) You’ve been working as a T-Rex keeper for over ten years now and every day is as interesting as the last. Unfortunately, not even looking after some of the deadliest creatures in the world was enough to prepare you for the carnage that was about to unfold. When the system goes down and the dinosaurs escape with evacuation impossible, it’s up to you and a ragtag team to restore order and protect both man and dinosaur

LARKIN @larkingame (Demo) someone is after you.for over a decade and a half now, you’ve traveled up, down and across the country--running schemes and hunting fiends with your mentor, con-man-by-day, vampire-hunter-by-night, Wyatt Abrams--the prolific vampire slayer and the living descendant of Gregory Abrams, founder and prophet of the Abrams Family, the nomadic vampire-hunting cult that raised you--and was wiped out years ago.carrying the abrams name means also means carrying on it's enemies--but that isn't to say you haven't forged a couple of your own along the way. now, it seems someone is trying to make good on old threats and promises. they've placed a bounty on your head.so you and wyatt do what you do best: you run away. to some little town, out nevada ways, where the title of town preacher is unexpectedly thrust upon you--bringing back years of trauma you thought long tucked away.as if that wasn't enough, on your first day in town the local mine up and explodes--leaving the reclusive family that runs the town--and owns the mine--to suspect you as the main culprit.now you're left with the responsibility of investigating the disaster to clear your name, looking into the mysterious cult just south of town, the gang of outlaws who've been wrapped up deep in a feud with larkin's patriarchal family--a group of people which you suspect to be hiding a secret most monstrous--all while dealing with the ghosts of your past, and the roots your family left behind.

Face bounty hunter, ghosts and a doomsday cult as you travel cross the Old West, trying prevent the end of the world at the hands of eldritch horrors.

WULFEBOUND @wulfebound (demo) you have survived by hiding your true nature. Ever since you were young, you recognized the grim truth: if people knew what you truly were, none of them would protect you. No one could truly love a creature such as you. You have your parents and your twin siblings, and you always figured that was enough.And until you met the wulfe pack that claims the land at the edge of town, you believed it. No one had ever listened to you the way Ansel Lavaud-Mazet and their inner circle did, and you had finally let yourself trust them all. You had let yourself grow comfortable, and you had been utterly blindsided when the huntsmen came for you.No one came for you when you called for them. No one rescued you in the years that followed when you were twisted and bound beyond recognition. No one stopped you when you tore your captors to shreds with your teeth and claws until the floor was soaked red with their blood.Now, you will return home. This time, you will not make the same mistakes.This time, you will be the starving wulfe in a meek sheep’s clothing.

Eyes of Shan @eyesofshan-if (DEMO) Years ago, you were uprooted from the only home you had ever known and captured to be sold as a slave. Now, war is at your doorstep once more while you are left in a delicate position — as a commander of the country that invaded your homeland. While investigating a case of illegal human trafficking, you come across a plot that threatens to rip this tentative peace apart.

DERELICTION @dereliction-if (no demo) In a fractured realm plagued by ancient animosities, where empires clash and races vie for their own goal, their own dominance, a haunting destiny hangs over an unlikely figure. A pariah, an outcast, and perhaps the only hope - You.You bear the weight of a dark lineage and the remnants of a once-powerful origin - now shunned by all races. While shadows of your tragic past loom large, a seemingly chance encounter thrusts you into a perilous journey. The path ahead is cloaked in uncertainty, an abyss that beckons you to confront your deepest fears, your deepest desires - a choice that may tip the scales toward salvation or everlasting despair.It’s upon you to decide: Can you outrun your fate, or will you succumb to the very darkness you seek to defy?

Bad Ritual @heart-forge (demo) your already high-risk/low-reward job gets about thirty times more dangerous when you inadvertently release an ancient archdemon into sanctum city. armed with only a recent promotion and the begrudging support of your enigmatic boss, it's up to you to decide what to do with siruud the devourer.

retribution @retribution-if (no demo) You never really learned to let go.Did you?Hello, little godling, are you here to seek out an exchange? What is the phrase those mortals say? "Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth"? Are you here to exchange death for death? How counterproductive, no? Though it seems that you refuse to listen to any sort of reason nowadays.A pity, really.I expected better from you. However I can't blame you and the emotional storm you brought yourself into. Afterall, having the man you called "Grandfather" turn on you and slaughter your family one day is an understandable thing to fuss over. Personally, I could care any less if my brother died. Your aunt and I would be just fine, frankly. Everything would be better off with one less Primordial, but really, does that matter now with the problems he helped cause?Regardless, I'm getting ahead of myself.Here you are, a child of barren nature and moving time, with the dagger of your wilted sister Spring, the sickle of your arid brother Summer, and the laurel of your decayed brother Autumn.Now, tell me this, little godling.How much blood must be shed until you think it's enough to satisfy your sense of naive justice? Until every enemy you'll make and have have their blood spilt and pooling by your feet? Until they are on their hands and knees, begging for mercy, for you to spare them, just so you can be the judge of their fate?Whatever your choice is, I'll simply be here watching you struggle and fall, and drop what remains of chaos you choose to leave in your wake.

a firsthand murder ballad if @a-firsthand-murder-ballad (demo) The war’s victory was not a joyous affair. There was no celebration when the encroaching forces were routed from the land. No drinking. No parties. No cheering or tearful greetings from spouses who had not seen one another in nearly a decade.The silence was unmistakable. Loud. Overwhelming.There was no joy to be found in it.The removal of enemy soldiers from Herritus was instead met by one of the bleakest seasons to have ever settled over the country’s south. Crops and livestock died of the cold, infants were unable to be roused from their frigid sleep, and chromatia returned from its grave with wretched determination.The streets are deserted- not a soul travels the worn roads. The homeless freeze to death and community shelters across the nation are wrung dry. Not even a noble such as yourself is safe from the cold’s grip.It seeps in through the cracked windows, through the gaps under the doors. Your fire cannot douse it. No matter how many lanterns you light, the shudders will not be dispelled. You don a dozen layers; it finds a way through each.When you are diagnosed with the grey ruin and made to realise you may have only a few months left to live, you must take it upon yourself to remove any remaining loose ends- before the sickness takes you.And yet…something is wrong in the town of Nērisk. Something impossible is happening. And someway, somehow, it all ties back in to your brother’s murder twenty years prior.

My Fair Maiden @my-fair-maiden (i think that the arthor has a problem with tumblr and the game but i have no clue both happy and sad becuse no demo and not a word from them, agian think there is aproblem with the game and/tumblr. but also very happy because resident evil 8 IF) (no demo) You hadn’t been expecting much when you had moved your entire life from the bustling city that was Seattle to the quaint, albeit slightly rundown, village of Valdelobos. All you knew was that you needed a break from the packed city streets and constant calls from your ex.If you had known what would be awaiting you upon your arrival? Of the target that you’d become? Of the creatures that lurk within the shadows pull towards you?It’s a safe bet that you would have never gotten off your plane…Will you be able to survive not only the harsh climate that surrounding the isolated village but the advances of the Lord’s themselves?

The Fernweh Saga @lacunafiction (full game/demo) (recomend buying it on steam) Return to a small town that you now feel a stranger in. It has been years since you were sent away following the tragic house fire that claimed your parents' lives, but the death of your grandfather has brought you back. While grim circumstances overshadow the visit you never planned on making, there are also opportunities to reminisce, reconnect, and reunite with old childhood friends, rivals, and neighbors. Familiar faces are all around, but will they aid or hinder you as your return trip spirals into a dark mystery and you start experiencing vivid nightmares? Begin to unravel what is going on in this seemingly idyllic, forested town.A feeling of unease grows with each sleepless night spent within Fernweh's borders, but you can't leave yet…It won't let you.

Spring Salad Gaming @springsaladgaming (demo on twine) (old demo on cog) Your life is complicated. You've recently lost your job, you have parents who may or may not hate you for reasons you're not clear on, and your brother refuses to leave you alone no matter how you feel about it. But things could be worse. And, oh, do they get worse when you learn you have a special ability that's not all it's cracked up to be. What's more is, the wrong people find out about it. Now you have to figure out how to get them before they get you.

Oh Mother, Where Art Thou? @ohmotherwhereartthou-if (demo) OMWAT is a tale in which you play as The Orphan, a child left abandoned with no family nor memory of why you were always alone. Left to your own devices, you have survived. To the surprise and much annoyance of the villagers of Lontapiso, the nearby village where you scrap for any food you can, you have lived longer than any had thought you would. What many had thought was that you would die out someday, an unfortunate circumstance but nothing that anyone would interfere with.But you didn’t die, in fact you refused to.Right on death’s door, you were saved by a mysterious woman.This woman you would come to either know as Mother or Mentor, she saved your life and took you away from that horrid village and gave you a home. She gave you a life, a place to grow and thrive. She nurtured you back to health, gave you an education, raised you in her cottage by the coast. The life you had always envied others for was finally yours; after years of watching other children happy with their families, being loved by others, while you had no one. It was all over, because now you had her.Years passed by, from childhood to adulthood she raised you. All with love, comfort, and acceptance.Mother/Mentor was your everything.Yet the day after you turn 18, she was gone. Leaving only behind a letter, apologizing for leaving but needing to. She said she would return one day, to please live the life she provided for you. Make use of the skills she taught you to make some friends, fall in love, have a family, and grow old. To keep living but to not look for her, asking you to please, let her go.What she did not account for was that to you, Mother/Mentor was your everything. Your absolute everything.You will be reunited. That is a promise.You won’t stop until you do, you are sick of being an orphan.You will not lose the only family you have ever had.You refuse to be left alone, again.

Out of the Dark @velena-if (no demo) The only thing you remember is a sharp pain in your chest. Then, a burning, searing sensation that steals your breath away. Then nothing.You wake up in a dark, cold place with no memories of yourself, save for one: the memory of your death. It becomes clear soon enough that you are in the Nav, the domain of the goddess of death, Morana, and the sanctuary of all the evil spirits and monsters. For you, Nav will be the place where your life changes forever.You've been given a second chance — a second life — by the queen of the night and winter herself. There is only one problem: for a year you will have to serve Morana as her chosen and her weapon. You will walk the earth, cutting the threads of other people's lives to keep your own whole. It is a test and a curse, and the inky black mark on your hand reminds you of this every moment, as it grows and spreads on your skin.But the curse is not your only problem, not even the biggest one. Someone is angry at you for a crime you don't even remember committing. Someone is determined not to let an unnatural, cursed being like you walk the earth.Find out what you have done before you died, survive the darkest year of your life and break the curse….if only everything was that simple.

Everlast @everlast-if(demo) You're a Traveler. (Traveler with a capital T.) You stamp on the concept of Time to stitch order back into the fabric of the known planes. That is your job. Your life's purpose.Along the way, you indulge in delicacies that only exist for a moment, landmarks that will only last for a century, and cities that will dwindle down within decades. Find comfort (or horror!) in familiar faces, hunt down an annoying time-skipper that seems intent on messing with the world line, and try to ignore an incoming mid-( end- beginning??) life crisis!

Tʜᴇ Fᴀᴛᴇ Of Eᴍᴘʏʀᴇɴᴇᴀ @empyreneabits (demo)

Nations envisage you as a notorious henchman serving a tyrant.

You. The Serpent: executor of wills at the behest of the sovereign of Empyrenea, the man named after the thirteenth Zodiac, your Father. With sharp fangs and finesse, you suppress rebellions sizzling in the nation-states, sprouting like untamed weeds

Year 221, New Age. An epoch that has crawled out the Age of Magic, tests you— you have suffered a lot, and the worst part is, you can’t remember anything in the past. Just fragments. And getting caught by an elite force tasked with capturing you doesn’t alleviate your situation in the slightest. They force you into assimilation within the territories who see you as a potential ally. Truly, you must become the snake hidden in the grass.

Your journey into the inferior realms has you unraveling the threads of information people have about your Father, Ophiuchus, as frayed and scant the material is.

You think you know him the best. But the truth is: you have the least information on him of all.

The Porthecrawl Witness @porthecrawl-witness (demo) An illness with eerie similarities to a plague long-past is spreading throughout your hometown. When a malevolent figure from the past appears, questions arise as to the genesis of the epidemic and the nature of a mysterious deal made by your ancestors to stop its spread. Question the stories you have been told all your life or support the traditions that have protected the families of Little Porthecrawl for generations. You, along with a group of strangers, hold the town's continued existence in your hands.Trapped in time for two hundred and fifty years, Porthecrawl's colonial ancestors have watched as modernity has improved the lives of their descendants. But something is challenging the past as an enigmatic figure emerges from the shadows, intent on saving his people from a sweeping plague - and quite possibly condemning yours in the process. Secrets can't stay hidden forever, and Little Porthecrawl's are starting to whisper from the town's ancient shadows.

Valhalla @palette-jack (demo) you are a mercenary trying to make a living on the edges of the Solar Imperium- but you find yourself sucked up into a wormhole, and everything changes.

The Brighter The Dawn @dawning-games (demo) For the past five years you have struggled to grapple with grief and forgiveness and answering questions you have shoved away for so long. This has formed the structure for your days, turning every time you’re awake into something to be suffered through, not lived. You have spent more and more time asleep in an attempt to escape your everyday life, but you certainly weren’t expecting to wake up in a strange cave with a sword impaling you through the torso. And the day only goes downhill from there.Are you sure you're awake? Is all of this a dream, or not…?

The Flower of Fairmont @zincalloygames (demo) Our plot begins with your arrival in Fairmont, at the house of your great-aunt, where your father has sent you following an irreconcilable argument regarding proper behavior. The morning after you arrive, your aunt hands you a packet of letters from four of the people closest to you, and from then on it’s up to you to decide which letters you’ll read, which you’ll answer, and how.During your time in Fairmont, you will get to know some of the local people, and you may find yourself drawn into their struggles and personal dramas. You may overhear things that surprise you, or learn unexpected facts from books and old newspapers. With time and persistence, you might uncover long-kept secrets, or even solve local mysteries. Alternatively, you may choose to take advantage of your stay in Fairmont to learn more about your mother, from the people who knew her in her youth.

A Charm of Witches @a-charm-of-witches (demo) Freshly orphaned just before the start of your senior year in high school, you’re shipped off to live with your estranged maternal grandmother. You know only three things about her: her name is Alice, your mother hated her, and she lives at the edge of the known world.Out in the border lands, wild magic still seeps across the mountainous ranges that protect humanity from the ravages of the mage storms and roaming Mystics who managed to survive the magical purge. It’s a hard place to live, these borderlands, but here you may yet learn to live again, find friends, make enemies, and discover old family secrets your mother had hoped to bury.Of course, that’s assuming you can survive the nightmares that have begun to plague you, and the strange creatures within them who seem to want your attention.

GEN X: Book One @ariy1 (demo) You’re Agent 98. Unlike the other Metas who were born to normal families through ART(Artificial reproduction Technology), you were designed in a lab. There were fourteen other embryos along with you. Your siblings who died months after birth. You were the lone survivor of project Beta. For the first twelve years of your life, your identity was that of a lab rat. Various tests and studies were conducted on you. Then came Commander Nagai and just like that your life changed.He trained you to defend yourself and in the process changed a helpless kid into a lethal assassin. For better or worse, you are chained to him and your loyalty to him is unquestionable.To the rest of the world, he is Minister Nagai and you are his aide. The media calls you a frightening example of nepotism in politics. Why else does a nobody twenty four year old get to be the Minister’s aide? A job meant for people with prestigious degrees and decades of experience.For Metas there are only two paths in life. Join the Govt’s program or join the Wraiths. The Wraiths are an anti-government, anti-human, radical group (more like enhanced mercenaries) who want to take over the country by brute force. Minister Nagai is at the top of their hit list.Life is fairly normal till that one day.There’s news of a new weapon in the underground.A raw Sigma at grade 12 who managed to destroy everything within a perimeter of ten kilometers thorough a psionic blast.It’s an arms race.The Minister tasks you with retrieving the Sigma and coaxing them to your side. Meanwhile the Wraith’s top assassin is after you and there’s unrest in the ranking. The Wraiths are plotting something and it’s up to you and your rag tag new team to stop them and keep the peace.

briarheart @wilderlingdev (demo) the briarheart.There are statues of the famed hero and their companions all over Crowned Grove. When you were younger, you tried to spy behind their mask, to get a glimpse of the face beneath, but there was nothing to be seen - the true visage of the briarheart was never captured by any artist or sculptor.But you had to check. You had to see if the face hidden behind the mask was your own.Your mother always said it was. That the mark in your forehead, the same shimmering on the hero’s mask, was all the proof you needed. You grew up under their shadow, their silent eyes judging your every move, with the knowledge that one day you would depart with companions of your own to save the world again a thorn twisting in your ribcage.Saving the world cost the briarheart their life - it was supposed to also claim your own.But you failed.Why?

Lost Birds @if-lostbirds (demo)

Apartment 502 @apt502-if (DEMO)

Moving from your small home to New York City was supposed to be a dream. You were supposed to start your new life with your long-distance partner and dive headfirst into full-on adulthood. Everything was supposed to be perfect. How can you not love being in your mid-twenties in the Big Apple?That is until your put-together, white collar partner dumps you the same day you arrive.Fun.Essentially homeless and determined to make the life you dreamed of, you take a last-minute offer to move into the spare bedroom in Apartment 502. Now, you're twenty-five and living with three other longtime best friends with their own drama and messy interpersonal relationships. Parties, late-night pizza runs, drama, fights, heartbreak, betrayals…maybe the life you want won't be as easy as you first thought.Will you find romance in the city that never sleeps?

Sentience @sentience-if (Demo) You do not know who you are.Your memories only go five years back, to when you woke up in a subterranean tunnel system with nothing but a name. Now you reside in the Holy City, capital of a post-apocalyptic world ruled by a faction called the Religious.After a near-death experience at the hands of a crazed angel, you're suddenly thrust into a building conspiracy surrounding a corpse-worshiping cult, divinely mad saints, and something buried far, far beneath the earth.To top it all off, you're being plagued by nightmares you can't explain, as well as your rapidly returning memories.Or… someone's memories, anyway.

The Night That Feeds @the-night-that-feeds-if (demo) You feel a chill down your spine, the hairs at the back of your neck prickle. You don't dare look behind you... The shadow smiles.

Midnight Sun @midnightsun-if (DEMO) Aurelian Academy, the pinnacle of evolution within the supernatural world; the first landmark to be erected after the Dark Ages— the time when supernatural races still lived within the shadows of the mortal world.You’ve been prepared to go for your entire life— all one hundred years of it. Being the youngest child of a ruling vampire clan didn’t give you much choice in the matter. Going to Aurelian meant taking the next big step in your immortal life regardless.Will you be able to prove yourself to your parents? To your siblings? Will you be able to uncover the mysteries that surround the ancient school?Or will everything vanish as the midnight sun approaches?

Model Citizens @thenickelportrust (demo) It’s a story about a world full of heroes with odd and amazing powers! But… you’re not one of them. You don’t have powers, and you don’t plan to go and fight crime. No, you’re just a model, everyday citizen. A reporter, in fact, tied into the events of heroes but never really a part of them… Except for one (well, two, but thats already said and done), little exception. You work for The Nickelport Rust, a controversial paper known for one reason and one reason only. Unmasking heroes.

the Moonless @moonless-if (DEMO) You are one of the illune, a moonless guard tasked with the protection of the minds of the Royal Family of Spala, and now with the mysterious disappearances of an increasingly large amount of your people.Set in a fantasy world inspired by ancient mediterranean civilizations, you play as an illune - a moonless mind guard - of the royal family. Unlike humans, moonless have no magical talents but the ability to walk the sleeping minds of others. It is something which historically has made the moonless outcasts of Spala’s society, but since gaining the trust and favor of both the royal family and the senate, things are changing for the better for your people.Or they were, until moonless started disappearing under mysterious circumstances from the capital city Amelare.Tasked by the royal family, with only rumors of the missing moonless suffering from strange dreams leading up to their disappearances, you and a small group of companions set out to find out why this is happening. But what will happen when the very same dreams begin to affect you? And what will you do when you discover a far bigger scheme than you could have ever imagined - and truths about the moonless people that will shake the realms to their cores?

The Corvid Curio @thecorvidcurio-if (demo) (this one is sooooo good cant wait for more) For as long as you can remember, no one you've loved has ever lasted very long.The moment you come to love someone, no matter the type of love, tragedy befalls you both. In a desperate attempt to escape this cycle you've been moving from place to place, uprooting any time you start getting too close. This new city shouldn't be any different. It wouldn't be any different, if not for your new neighbours.The more time you spend around these bizarre people, the more obvious it becomes that there's a layer of reality you've previously been unaware of. As you discover more of what was previously hidden from you, though, it begs the question:Is there something more to your tragic circumstances than an unfortunate run of bad luck? Could it be the result of some power you don't understand? If so, does that mean there's a way out of it?Does that mean there's someone to blame for your suffering?

The Gray Ascendancy @thegrayascendancy-if (demo) Magic bends to the will of the Six Sisters, what they share with humans is but a fraction of their power, an echo from the past when they lived and created history. A split between them formed the world you are in now, the world where magic is a powerful—and feared—tool, where mages were chased off into a small city of Riante after their recent attempt to seize control over the continent by taking over the Sunken Court.But the mages shall prevail. Such is the resolve of the Gray Regent.~And then there is you.Serving the fabled Gray Regent feels right. Your body remembers how to use magic, and this is how you get by. This is how you are useful to them. Their goals find response in you, some part of you finds them as good as your own. You are their will executed in the field.It helps that you have no memories of how you became this way.No matter. The preparations are well underway, and you are to thank for many of the successes, except for one terrible failure. Fixing this mess has you tossed right into the enemy backline, trying to lie your way into the graces of a prince whose reputation, deservedly or not, is almost as bad as yours. Your door into the Sunken Court.You will ensure the ascension of the Gray Regency. Right?

shadows of the gun @shadowsofthegun-if (DEMO) The Wild West. Daunting. Unforgiving. Untamed.You know better than anyone the tragedies that have plagued these lands, the injustices that have been committed, and the lives that have been lost. You've seen it all. Seen good people fall victim to the ruthlessness and corruption, seen entire towns burn to the ground, and watched families be torn apart by violence and greed.For as long as you can remember, you've been a renegade, living on the edge of society. You've never known stability or security, always moving from town to town never settling down. You've been forced to leave nothing but a trail of pain and destruction in your wake. Never been able to stop long enough to think about the consequences.But is that all you are? Given the chance to change, would you take it? To give instead of take. To help instead of hurt. To build instead of destroy. Or do you want to continue down the same path? To forever be the child without a home, without purpose, without hope.Will you make sure the West remains untamed or will you too look for a new beginning?

in the ocean of stars @ophiuchus-interactive (demo) Life out in The Wastes is harsh and cruel. Law means nothing anything west of the Rima Hadley River, and the only form of justice to be found was at the end of one’s own gun.You pickpocketed, robbed, cheated, and schemed your way through life with your partner in crime, Yoshie. Through thick and thin, the two of you had been through it all since the death of your parents twelve years ago.Upon receiving a contract from a mysterious benefactor, you and Yoshie decide to take it- to make this train robbery the last, great heist you ever do. The payment, the opportunity to leave…it all seemed there, right in the cards.But it wasn’t.After spending your entire life running away from the law, you’re now forced to join it when the train robbery goes terribly wrong. Being recruited by the crew of the Cheyenne, you set out on a quest for vengeance, treasure, and to take down the gang responsible for turning your life upside down: The Regulators.

OUT OF THE BLUE @outoftheblue-if(Demo) You are a university student struggling to find the motivation to finish your degree as the world seems to be falling apart around you, when you find yourself transported to what appears to be Regency Era England. With no idea how you got there or how you can get back, you are at the mercy of the fates. Given the probability of being classified insane if you reveal your true origins, you decide to feign amnesia. Lucky for you, a wealthy couple decides to take pity on you and take you in.Will you be able to keep your secret hidden from your new friends, or risk ending up in an asylum? Will you conform to the expectations of regency society, or show regency society what a modern person is like? Will you solve the mystery of how you ended up there and find your way back home, or perhaps decide that you’d much rather stay?

the seven heirs of ophaesia @esfawkes (DEMO) (think they wanted to boot it to twine but i think they are on hiatus at the moment) As the King’s seventh child, you are a prince or princess of Ophaesia, a luxurious nation along the southern coast of Selanes. You are the first child of your father’s third wife, a woman hated throughout the realm due to the pervasive suspicion that she poisoned the previous queen, and her poor reputation taints your image in the eyes of the court and beyond. From your days in the palace nursery all the way to adulthood, you must navigate treacherous court politics and delicate foreign affairs while trying to find your place in the world — and your family.

Bladeweaver @bladeweaver-if (demo) Orphaned at birth beneath the dim light of a new moon, your fate seems sealed. In a stroke of luck, you are soon adopted by two Masters of the Bladeweavers' Order - an institution of elite warriors and weaponmasters as ancient as the very cities they are based in. When cataclysm strikes, the Order is left scattered and broken, and you are left aimless, without purpose in a hostile world. In your search for it, what else will you find?

Within Your Eyes @within-your-eyes-if / within-your-eyes-if.tumblr.com (dont know why it wont let me link them) (DEMO) You are a Warden, a monster hunter who has come to the Kingdom of Auris which has become the forefront runner in it’s acceptance of magic and supernatural alike within the West Highlands. But when strange happenstances occur, you are called upon not just because of skill, but also because of your condition. A condition you’ve lied about for last 12 years.Unearth the secrets that magic holds as a new form is discovered.Befriend or romance those who attempt to worm through the cracks of the mask you wear. Or will you fight to keep them at arms length?Regardless of where your journey takes you, your feathered friend will be at your side. As he always has been.

The Sovereign's Ring @thesovereignsring-if (demo) When the Empress dies without issue, you play as the youngest out of four possible successors to the throne.Civil war is on the horizon. The other successors will stake their claim- but you’re the one who’s in possession of the Imperial Signet Ring, the sole symbol of the Sovereign’s authority and a relic of great mystery.Choose your loyalties. Build relationships- or don’t. Tear them apart. Sabotage your rivals and pave the path to the throne for yourself. The choice is yours to make.There are no right or wrong choices- only consequences.

conspiracy in emerson @emersonfreepress (demo) Emerson, an ultra-wealthy New England coastal town, has held a strong religious belief in self-preservation and personal success for just about three centuries. This way of life is so deeply ingrained in the town’s history, politics, and culture that now things are reaching an untenable state. It’s 1997 and the older methods of subtleties and negotiation have deteriorated as the stakes have risen, the egos have grown, and the competition has stiffened. People are resorting to sabotage. Slander. Smear campaigns. Shaming. Framing. Arson.Murder.A month before senior year at Emerson Prep starts, you accidentally get caught up in the violent crimes of two of your classmates. The course of your life takes a sharp turn into the macabre as you get your first peek behind the curtain of your Machiavellian hometown. Quickly swept up in a series of sabotage missions and contract-killings that take Emerson by storm, are you a victim of circumstance? Just along for the ride?Or a willing accomplice?

Virtue's End @virtues-end (demo) In a dark world overrun by monsters from the shadow plane, you exist as a hybrid monster hunter called a helvling, a human whose very soul has been Bound to one such entity. Travelling from warded settlement to warded settlement with your surly human Keeper, Shea, you have the thankless task of defending the common folk against these unimaginable horrors from Hel.Usually, a fate such as yours is only reserved for the lowest of criminals, as penance for their loathsome deeds… You wouldn’t know if your fate has been deserved, however, since upon completion of your Binding seven years ago, all former memories of your human life have been lost.You've been moulded into a weapon by the Virtuous Order, trained to be an unfeeling and ruthlessly efficient hunter… But is that who you truly are?Who are you?

BLOOD CHOKE @blood-choke (demo) In Blood Choke, you play as a reawakened vampire, with no memory of who you are or what you did to result in your entombment. Fumble your way through your first few days after waking up in a strange, overwhelming future-- meet new friends and reunite with an old flame. Navigate this new world and try to piece your past back together before it can catch up to you-- and decide your future, before it's too late.

speaker @speakergame ((demo) Your family is cursed.The firstborn child in each generation is born a Seer, haunted by visions of the future they can neither stop nor control. For thirteen generations, they’ve suffered in silence, seeing death and disaster before it comes but unable to prevent it or even give it voice.You are the second born.Born only a few minutes after your twin sister, you avoided your family’s curse - by either luck or providence. As the twin sibling to your generation’s Seer, however, you have a rare and amazing gift. You are a Speaker, able to understand her visions and translate them in a way other people can understand.The two of you have made a living hunting down and trying to stop them at the source, plucking people from the clutches of death. You aren’t always successful, and the pay is pretty much nonexistent, but it gives you a sense of purpose and hey, it’s still better than working retail.The visions are becoming more frequent lately, and their contents more violent. Is there a thread connecting them that you aren’t able to see? Or is this just a sign of the times?Either way, one thing is for sure: it’s too much for just the two of you. You’re going to need help.

God of the Red Mountain @friendlybowlofsoup (demo) You are a spirit born of the Red Mountain–though you’ve run away from it long ago. You’d be content to stay away, too, if not for the mountain god who suddenly comes looking for you. But what purpose do they have? And what exactly is your end goal?Based on East Asian myths and folklore, you play as a powerful, nameless spirit in a shifting world. As a being caught between death and life, you are connected to a stream of limitless power, and the more you are known, the more powerful you become.However, your journey will not be so smooth. You have been cursed by powerful, malignant beings known as Foxes, and it’s only a matter of time before you fall from sanity yourself.

Regrets of the Traitor @rotten-games (demo) You are the Ruler of Hadaria after killing the previous Queens and betraying all who once trusted you. Sat upon the throne with all the power available to you, one would be forgiven for believing you finished with your quest. With a strange figure in your dreams speaking vague prophecies of magical artifacts, a mysterious cult moving into the city, and a group intent on unseating you from your place, perhaps you’re way in over your head for a farmer’s kid.

the deal @thedeal-if (DEMO) It has been four years since your parents died. Your younger sister and you have been left in shambles, struggling to pick up the pieces of what’s left of your family. But nothing ever goes right; you devote your life to taking care of Chrissy, and she devotes hers to resent you—and to something darker of which you are unaware.One day, Chrissy goes missing, and the only way for you to get her back is to journey into hell. In order to do that, you are forced to make a deal.What happens next is up to you.

Solid Ground @solidgroundif (demo) Space is colonized. To varying degree and quality, but human ingenuity has spread far and wide.You are a trained spacecraft pilot in the employ of your alma mater, which is what ended up saving your life. Literally.Something shook the billion-year order of the Solar system. Something turned Earth into a freezing rock with monumental sculptures of ice. Something forced you to trade your snug apartment in New York for a bunk bed in a glorified closet aboard a carrier ship whose carcass was the academy playground for research projects.Now stranded somewhere in an indifferent sector, you and those around you slowly work towards a fragile promise of a life somewhere with real gravity (though, to be frank, promises is all you seem to be getting). That is, until one seemingly innocuous assignment — fly around and bother some rocks — kickstarts a chain of events that turns you from a nobody to the most wanted person in the galaxy.You just need a minute to figure out why.But it is space. Sometimes things get weird.Keep your wits about you.

Memento Mori @starlightandetherealshadows (DEMO) Your story starts like any other.Your life was normal, until it wasn’t. Two years after an invasion ravaged the Earth, you’re struggling to find purpose. The lonely life of struggle and survival is not for you. You’d promised yourself that if there was an apocalypse, you’d end it.That was then. That was when hypotheticals existed. Instead of dying, you lived against all odds and continue to do so.Why? You don’t know. You wake up fortunate to be alive.Everything between the sunrise and sunset is white noise. Insignificant.Now, your normal shifts again. You’re surrounded by a group of strangers, their faces unfamiliar except for the exhaustion in their eyes. There's something coming, something worse. It isn't hard to believe. After all, still water is an infested one. For the first time in two years, you aren't sure who is a predator, and who is prey.Caught between a millennia-long war, the human race is but a spoke in the wheel, narrowly avoiding being crushed by powers beyond your comprehension.At the end of the world, there is only one question.Who is running from whom?

The Bureau @morbethgames (demo 25 years ago, there was a shockwave that erupted from the center of the earth, genetically changing an entire generation of people. We called this mysterious phenomenon “The Pulse”. Since that time, there was an agency called The Bureau that was established to deal with important or urgent matters regarding the “Gifted” as we called them; the people affected by The Pulse. You were just being born as The Pulse was happening, and now, 25 years later, you find yourself joining The Bureau.In a world filled with grief, love, mystery and murder… what story will you carve out for yourself? Where will you end up?

Novaturient @kalorphic (DEMO)

You are the talented handler to Agent X, MI6′s top field agent. Your days consist of guiding X through their missions, arguing with your flatmate and fellow handler, getting lectured by your boss, and dodging calls from your loveable but overbearing sibling.

However, despite the supposed thrill of your job, you find yourself in a rut.

That is until X’s latest mission.

X is in Las Vegas, infiltrating the world-renowned Club Delirium, a suspected front for an international smuggling ring. But when things take a sudden and dangerous turn, you take it upon yourself to book tickets to Vegas so you can use your considerable skills to track down your missing agent.

You’re going to get X back, and nothing is going to get in your way. Not even the infamous Noah Caine.

EVENT HORIZON @if-eventhorizon (no demo) (could swear there was a demo...am i going mad?)

Hollowmoon Valley @hollowmoonvalley (demo)

You’ve had enough. Although you aren’t of the the normal retiring age, you’re ready to leave everything behind for the perfect retirement town: Hollowmoon Valley. An isolated town with perfect weather, lovely nature, and most importantly peace.The people are overly friendly, and more than welcoming to you and your new business setting up shop in their little town.As a traumatized hunter of the supernatural, it’s the perfect haven. Until it’s not because some rude degenerate has decided to start murdering your nice neighbors.What do you have to do to get some peace and quiet?

Hero Maker IF @heromaker-if (DEMO) Stories of heroes, legends and chosen ones are commonplace. But you'd never thought it was your child who would have to save the world from the Demon Lord's clutches.

FOLKSAGA @folksaga-if (DEMO) You are a human. A totally normal one.Honestly.You’re a human. You’re a bartender, which is a very normal job for a human to have, and when you walk down the winding streets of Akureyri you can blend seamlessly into any crowd of people which is, without question, only something that a human could do.The fact that you came here two years ago with nothing but the clothing on your back doesn’t mean anything; you’re hardly northern Iceland’s first wayfaring soul. That you had no money to your name, no friends or family to speak of — that’s a fairly average human thing, too. And that little craving you have, that quiet urge to dig your teeth into any passing stranger’s throat? It's completely, entirely mundane.It’s manageable. You’re managing.Or you were, until someone — someone who's decidedly notas good at this human thing as you are — begins leaving a trail of dead bodies at your doorstep, and a trio of god-like siblings take a seat at your bar.

bloodymarsupials1

Gods and Villains @godsandvillains-if (DEMO you take control of a powerful metahuman, an otherwise ordinary human on the outside but who has the meta-gene, a potent mutation deep engraved in their DNA, which gives them superhuman abilities. This next step in human evolution comes with a setback, however, for the curse of madness seems to follow their every step. It lurks in the shadows, patiently waiting for the opportunity to strike—many metahumans fall prey to its alluring promises.With a dark and traumatic past filled with untold horrors and inhuman experiments, you are rescued from the clutches of crazy terrorists by a team of heroes that might lend you all the tools you need for redemption or complete self-annihilation.As the only metahuman with the ability to wield the powerful Chaos Magic, your very blood holds the answers to unlocking the secrets behind the control of time and space, but it has the drawback of being almost completely volatile.Who can you trust to keep you safe other than yourself? Trust no one, and maybe you can get out of this literal hell alive.

Gonzague @gonzague-if (Demo) You are the Prince de Gonzague, a title you acquired thanks to your ruthless ways. Your bloody past haunts your every step and you have taken measures to ensure a prosperous future as well as put away your blades and poisons for good.You have made some rich and powerful friends in the persons of Philippe de Nevers and the King’s nephew. Now you just need money. Thankfully, the marriage you have arranged with the Marquis de Caylus’s daughter should provide you with the fortune you need.Unless some unexpected revelations put your plans in peril…

THE SIX THAT THRIVE @the-six-that-thrive-if (DEMO) “Anyone with the illecebra Illness is destined to die at the age of 22. There is no cure.”You were destined to die in 22 years. Since the moment of your birth, you have known your downfall. The age in which you die. You aren’t sure why your parents told you, why they wanted you to know on your tenth birthday, but they did. Holding back tears as if they were the ones to suffer, as if they knew the exact moments they’d die. You like to pretend they prepared you, made you live your life without fear, but—You’re 22 this year. With no cure in sight, and no way to prevent what is bound to happen to you. You’ll die and you’ll die soon. Unless you can make a deal.

Damnation & Buggery @damnation-if (demo) (waiting with bated breaths for this tbh)

You are a regular human peasant, which is as close to an inbuilt death sentence as you can get in a world filled with monsters, bandits, cultists and angry nobles. Luckily for you, however, “regular” is relative, and evil cultists aren’t necessarily renowned for their brainpower.

A freak accident that occurs during an attempt to summon a powerful demon using you as a vessel results in you being transformed into a concubus, a demon embodying lust and beauty. Everything changes in an instant; the conditions in the mortal world are suddenly suffocating and unbearable, the gods and all their servants suddenly want you dead, and you have no choice but to rely on other demons for help, if you think they can even be trusted.

Embrace your new existence or try to find a way to return to your old life, try to find out what caused it all to happen or just accept it as an accident, befriend the demons who inhabit your current circle of Hell or work to destroy them… the choice is yours. There’s just one catch – as a concubus, you need to experience sexual pleasure every day, or you’ll die.

You can take care of that on your own, of course, but the numbers in Hell are dwindling, and your new demon colleagues are more than willing to lend a hand, shall we say, to keep from losing you as well, if that should happen to tickle your fancy instead.

Hollowed Minds @shai-manahan (DEMO) They call you Ripper.It’s a horrendous name to give to a detective like you, and definitely not one you chose for yourself, but you suppose it’s to be expected given your reputation for putting powerful people behind bars.

Yet, despite all of that, you remained untouched.Until that day, when all the lies and the deception and the foolish mistakes turned your life upside down.But perhaps that’s not where it all began. Perhaps it rooted from the decades the city has suffered, through the failed revolutions and corruption that sucked the life out of it, turning it into an insurmountable void of hopelessness and grief.Now, as you attempt to rectify what happened and fix your honor, you find yourself entangled in webs of conspiracies and betrayal with each step you make, and you will have to make wise decisions to discover the connections among the events disturbing Gaile City once more.A grisly murder. Enigmatic hallucinations plaguing certain people. Recurring explosions. And the one thing that troubles even you and your overprotective brother--your strange, vivid nightmares (or are they?) and an ominous group who may be behind them.Find the truth. Protect whomever you can. Survive. Remember.But beware. In this forsaken city, the truth is everyone’s enemy. Just as it may be yours.

But as time passed their hubris grew, and the sheevra were created to curb their pride.When it comes to these chaotic and malevolent beings, the lands are full of cautionary tales.

And the deals you lure them into are the only way the sheevra can slowly restore the world’s more balanced state.After all, knowing someone’s true name is the most intimate secret a person can offer.You never imagined fearful weaklings like these would be any threat to you.

Fell Star and BtSL @justpked (Fell Star, BtSL: Demo

BtSL

And so the prophecy is fulfilled. You’ve exceeded all of my expectations, as I always knew you would. Don’t cry… We’ll meet again beyond the spider lilies.”A prophecy and a lie.There is no difference between the two. Between the fables of the tales of the Old told long ago and the so-called ‘prophecies’ seen by the Oracles of the great deities, the two are always the same. No more than fancy words spun around to convince others to do their bidding. Some might claim otherwise, but the Accursed will prove it.Rather than dying to a fool who wishes to take everything from him, the Accursed has plans of his own. The young child who has nothing to their name will be his pawn. You shall be the one to end him. A false prophet Everything will move like clockwork. He’ll make it so. It would be best for you to listen to his words, oh lost one.Will you be able to fulfill the prophecy set out for you, or will you lead it astray?

Fell Star “Be wary of the Harbinger, for they bring either hope or doom.”After your fall, you awaken in a strange place. Buildings made of metal and steel, the iron and silver weapons used to strike you down have changed their form, and the magic that once flourished throughout the realm is no more than just a flicker.There is something else that is peculiar with your awakening. You are neither dead or alive. And the person who sits before you, covered in blood, is a child — rather, a child is putting it lightly, what sits before you is a Homunculus; a vessel who has your heart.Just what has happened during the past years of your death? What will you do, Harbinger? Will you bring hope to this new age you’ve awakened to or will you bring it all down and build anew?

Sinners @sinners-if (demo We all know how it goes - the hero wins the day, they get the love interest, and their books and movies end with happily ever after. But what about the villain? Could you fall in love with a sinner?

The Decoy @thedecoy-if (DEMO Life, for the most part, has been all-around uneventful. You work in Manhattan at a convenience store under a sleazy boss in order to scrape by and support your struggling family. Your dad is absent, your mom is too tired to parent, one brother is getting arrested while the other has detached himself from the life he once had. Still, while your days as a twenty-something employee are mundane, at least they're predictable.Meanwhile, in another realm, the magical dark world of Eterna is in ruin. A war against an entity and his bloodthirsty creatures is brewing, and after the powerful royal family is viciously murdered and the only living child--and now rightful owner of the throne--goes missing, that evil is one step closer to winning.But of course, that's not your problem. That's in a whole other universe, one you don't even know exists. Your biggest worry is whether you'll be able to take on a double shift tomorrow. Right?Wrong.Turns out the missing heir is your doppelganger. In a desperate attempt to save face and stop from losing a war before it even starts, you're kidnapped and taken to Eterna in order to play the part of the monarch, all while working behind the (bloody) scenes to find the true heir and get home.Stuck in a world of magic and fantasy you've only ever seen in movies, an entire country--and an impending war-- is now dependent on how well you can act.No pressure.

The Northern Passage @northern-passage (same arthor as @blood-choke and is an amazing writer) (demo It's cold, so cold - your head aches, your ears pop, water chokes your throat and nose, and all you can do is watch as the sky gets farther and farther away from you. Clawed hands grab at your ankles, your legs, your arms, pulling you down, tearing at your clothes and piercing your skin.You convulse violently, your body struggling to expel the water from your lungs as more floods in.Staring up into the fading light, you feel your body grow weak, giving in, sinking now, your blood churning all around you in the water. A hand grabs at your throat, caressing a thumb over your pulse, pulling you down as the dark water turns red.

The Night Abridged @zico-if (getting a rework which is super exciting) (DEMO

You were supposed to be a sacrifice in order to bring an eldritch god to your realm, a sacrifice that was never supposed to live. Instead of dying and summoning the god intended, you find yourself face to face with an ancient being that was chained and locked away for the horrors they once committed.

Alzurahm is their name. A once revered god but now a pitiful creature made of bone and shadow. After finding themself free of their prison, they realise there is nothing to tether themself to, until you come into view.

They make you an offer. Become their host and allow them a taste of freedom and they will grant you power to ensure you bothlive.The catch is that their thoughts will become your thoughts, their weaknesses will become your weaknesses and their fears will become your fears.

But things are never as simple as they seem. After the revelation that you are more than just human, The Court of Night decides to utilise the mistake they made by brainwashing you and shape you into something of their own that most would come to know simply as: The Vessel—someone who no one wishes to see at their doorstep.

After being sent on a mission to eliminate a traitor of The Court, a series of unfortunate events throw you off the planned course and onto another where you then find yourself hunting an evil much greater than the ones you were taught about.

Also, there's a foreign voice in your head, urging you to kill. Can you fight its influence and find out who, or what, they are?Can you forgive your enemies, or will you stay on the path of hatred?

VENDETTA @vendetta-if (DEMO Ten years ago, your father was assassinated. They said it was a successful hit-job done by a rival gang or another criminal family and closed the case. But you know better… You were there during the attack after all, even though not exactly in his last moments. You know it’s not that simple.He deserves better. He was a vigilante, helping the citizens of Elysium City equally when its own superheroes were too busy maintaining their public image and reputation to even bother helping the ‘little folks’. But when they found out about his true identity as the heir of the infamous Morozov Criminal Family posthumously, they quickly closed the investigation as soon as they arrested the one surviving attacker out of the many that participated in that bloody night and considered that justice. There was no more fame or reputation to be gained for finding true justice for a long-retired vigilante who turned out to be a criminal as well, so why spend the energy and manpower? But you won’t accept it. You will seize the truth on your own and spit it on their faces. At least, that’s what you always tell yourself…For a decade you have been trapped and tortured in a perpetual hell of your own making, reliving that bloody night every year and furious at yourself for not being a step closer to finding out the truth. Every year, you promise your father that you will bring him the justice that he deserved. And you mean it. You won’t rest until you find the one who killed him. Even if you have to tear apart this rotten city from the inside out, you will stop at nothing to have your vengeance.This is your tale, Revenger, and you will decide how you will seize your well-deserved vengeance.

Adoriel's Tears @adoriels-tears-if (a favorite of mine) (demo Adoriel's Tears are a gift.A light offered to the inhabitants of Terrybiël to end the conflicts that oppress the Four Peoples and eradicate the evil that was crawling on the continent.But every light has its shadow and sometimes gifts are poisonous. For if magic comes from the heart, it takes a soul to master it, and fortunate are those who manage to find it. Without a counterpart, without a familiar, a Tear is nothing.Just a curse. A child of madness. The darkness on Terrybiël. What must be destroyed before they destroy you.Adoriel's Tears are a gift. At least for the others.You're long past the point where your heart and soul should be singing together, and yet you're gifted. That's what made you lose everything you had as a child. Now, an opportunity presents itself.

The King’s vision is your vision.Your name will forever mark history alongside theirs.-But for now, you are being shipped to your betrothed, alone and powerless on your way to Camelot.As the seventh child of the Venegard House, you’ve always had little to look forward to other than an arranged marriage to achieve a political alliance.

The Exile @exilethegame (Demo The gods abandoned the realm of Navara long ago— wykna, they were called.

Something that — you are assured by the local carpenter and his fearful daughter — can be found among the vast array of turrets casting a watchful eye over the shambled houses below.

The Dollmaker's Apprentice by HackedTig Isabel Luca is one of the kindest maidens in the village, despite no kindness deposited to her. Many reserve her as a bad luck omen from a judgement given by Mother Miranda at a young age. She spends her time learning to sew, and one day approaches Lady Beneviento herself for guidance in an agreement that could very well make or break the judgement of the village matriarch. OC x Donna; loosely based on a RP with precious girlfriend/diet wife FIANCEE with granted permission <3

The Deliverance of Change by Vizzi (@lelianasbitch You didn’t think the Duke would actually take you on as his courier, but here you were carrying packages through all kinds of weather. The process of delivering the packages themselves wasn’t daunting, it was to whom you were delivering them to: The Four Lords.Being a courier was simple though and the Lords wouldn’t hurt you. Or, at least that’s what the Duke told you.Courier!Reader slowly befriends the Lords and Dimitrescu daughters and falls for Lady Beneviento. Or is it the other way around?

A Wildflower in Early Bloom by AngeredMarsupials You awake in a cell, fully knowing where you are and how you got there. Expecting a swift death, you simply lie in wait, until a rather excitable girl brings her mother down to see you. You're being presented as a ' gift ', as if you're a bouquet of her favorite wildflowers thrown into early bloom. You can't help but wonder for what purposes you are being presented; the answer is not a long wait away.

To Promise the Moon by valleynix (tumblr @valleynix) (this is...just wow i really dont have words to describe this level of awe and intruige i feel every time i read this. i makes me wan to just thow wild theories adn what not out there it. and the communaty they have is once again just baffiling, they are active with both asks, posts and just writing in general and i feel blessed every day that i found this if it really has impacted me alot. tied at 1st place. You stumble through the thick snow, broken and bleeding, pulled along by some imaginary string promising you safety. It's all you've ever wanted, isn't it? To belong, to feel the comfort of your loved ones. The feeling beckons you, calls your name, and you can't help but follow it. You never had a choice, did you?Something seems to be missing as you spend your days inside the warmth of Castle Dimitrescu. You can't place it; you can't even remember why you were out in the freezing forest in the first place. You don't know why they're so intent on keeping you alive. Maybe you will, one day.Surrounded by four women who could very well be the only ones to fully understand you… you've never felt more alone.

Smoke Gets In Your Eyes by PittsburghPlunge420 (tumblr @ladydimitrescuspersonalashtray) (this had me the very first chapter, it got me laghing and gasping and it to this day is one of the best THINGS ihave read, the writing and its quality could rival shakespear any day of the weak, and the emotions it draws out of me is unbelivible. i cant recomend this enough. tied at 1st place. All you wanted was to find your birth parents. You never imagined you would find so much more.

The Handmaiden by KeshaRocks Before Ethan Winters, there were others who entered Castle Dimitrescu.And never made it out.Only the truly desperate accept any employment there, and that’s exactly what Erika Pavel is.Desperate to escape her alcoholic mother and provide for her younger sister, she applies for a job as a handmaid to Castle Dimitrescu. And they’ve accepted.Trading one hell for another, her unyielding determination for her little sister is her only defense against the castle denizens. Though she tries her best to remain feeble and obedient, the eyes of the mistress and her daughters are always upon her back. Not just of hunger, but curiosity.Which may be even more dangerous.As the castle slowly starts to reveal its secrets to her, Erika finds herself unraveling as she’s soon dragged into a dark and cruel world.Torn between what she was taught and what she believes, Erika has to rely on the teachings of her deceased father and her sharp mind if she’s to make it out with her money, her life . . . and her sanity.

Taken by thinking1bee (tumblr @thinking1bee) (this whole thing has been a battle of emotions, from going to sad to anger to fear to sad to happy and just switching back and foruth, it truly has me captivated every time i read it and i cant get enough. and that one scene had me balwing my eyes out. this is most defeinetly tied at 1 st place, and the only reason it isnt on the pudium by it self is because i cant decide. You're sold to Castle Dimitrescu after labeled a murderer. Hauled away in chains, swimming in trauma, and covered in blood, it's not too long before you find yourself in the very castle where more people were seen walking in than walking out. Your fight for survival begins the moment those metal doors close behind you, and you know that surviving the inhabitants inside would be nothing short of a miracle. Then, you meet the lady of the castle and her daughters, the mysterious and enigmatic Alcina Dimitrescu. Everything in you should hate her, should despise her and everything she stands for even. Even after facing the horrors that the castle has to offer, even after suffering with blood and pain, you can't hate her like you should. Your Lady and her daughters are surprisingly human…and a huge contradiction. What makes them tick? And why is it that there’s something that draws you to your Lady even after all the pain she put you through?How are you expected to survive both this castle and the trauma from your past?

Never Tell Me The Odds by SapphoButSexier You came to Castle Dimitrescu with exactly one goal in mind - to get yourself killed. As it turns out, that’s a much more difficult task than you initially anticipated

The Wight King (DEMO)

After a rough awakening in what you’ll find to be your own tomb, you escape the templar order which was guarding your grave. Seeking answers, you eventually learn the truth of your new nature, you are undead, risen from your grave with full sentience but with fragmented memories.

And you are not any mere undead, you are the wight king, supreme lord of undeath, the ultimate undead being. You will have to assume your new role as ruler of the undead to survive, or submit under the blades of the templars and their self-appointed king. Recruit allies living and dead along the way. Be a merciful and wise leader of men, or be a dreadful tyrant, spreading chaos and misery in your wake. Master your new, dark powers, from necromancy to the powers of a wight king, and discover anew those you have forgotten.

The path to victory will be long and treacherous, for this age of darkness comes to an end. The great tides of war rise once more, and you may be the one to turn those tides when the time come. The path of a Wight King is full of sacrifices, and you might lose more than your humanity on the way.

Let the world tremble with every step, for whatever your path, you will scar it and defy fate itself.

Shattered : Oblivion(DEMO)

Some things simply refuse to stay dead. The Shattered, you, are an amnesiac elven sorcerer, found on the verge of death at the shores of a freezing river. Even as your rescuers nurse you back to health, all you can feel is the terrible absence of all you have lost. Memories, powers and possessions gone. That is, for all but a ritual dagger, a grimoire and the nightmares that plague your aching mind.

There begins a quest to reclaim all you’ve lost and forgotten. Most of all the dark powers that once inhabited you, but to revel in their awesome might once more may reopen the terrible scars they left behind.

Hounded by a past that simply refuses to stay behind you, you will have to deal with your old demons, and an ever-increasing list of threats. Old enemies move in the shadows, truths once buried are coming back to haunt you and those unfortunate enough to cross your path, or worse, follow in your wake. But to a genius warlock, there is little to fear… is there?

Remembered: The Past (DEMO)

You wake up in prison. How you got there or even why you’re there, you don’t know. All you do know is, you hate it. And it definitely doesn’t help that you lack one of your senses. But to compensate for that, you have a power, an ability that no one else has: you can see and sense souls. Everything seems miserable and hopeless, until one day, a group of people decides to turn the tides and break you out. Everything else is up to you and the future.
