Today I am feeling quite nostalgic. I may not play Choices anymore, but here is a small present for my past self and everyone who loved Colt. ā¤
The Shepherds of Haven Public Demo is Here! š
There's so much for you to explore that it's almost hard to explain! I put all of the technical details in the dev log on itch.io, so for now, I'll just skip straight to the point and give you the goods:
Play the Demo Here
Along with the new UI, engine, soundtrack, art, save system, and countless added features, this update brings the public demo from 270,000 words to around 460,000!
Thank you for your endless understanding, support, and patience: I very much hope you enjoy!
FINALLY playing the new demo chapters woo wish me luck
I kind of want to do a writing/thought process spin wheel for Wayhaven. Put every major/minor character on it and spin twice. How would a relationship between those two work, be it platonic, romantic, other? HMMMM
Spin! That! Wheel!
And please feel free to let me know any characters I may have missed. Relying on memory is iffy at best.

#ššššš ā āwell, it looks like weāre not just friends anymoreā
So. How are people feeling about main character energy
Some of yāall only romance the white male LIās and it shows
Letās see my history.
The Freshman: first time through I went for James (not white). He was sexy and interesting, but thennn they changed his face and he became a huge nerd/dork instead of mysterious like he was at first. Ended up ditching him for Zig (looks white⦠except heās Latino so he aināt really white)š° My MC was the medium skinned one and in my headcannon sheās Latina
Verdict: not-white, Zig is latino
TCATF: I got Dom and Kenna together (white, though Raydan (he donāt look that white but he aināt black) was quite temptingā¦
Verdict: white, Dominic
#lovehacks: Chose Ben. He kinda looks Asian to me but idk? Anyway my MC was the black one with the red hair.
Verdict: white I guess? What race is Ben even, though MC is black
TRR: Liam. Narrative pushed me towards him. I also chose the standard(?) version thatās on the cover because it was on the cover, and he looks most like his siblings, though at first I found the Asian one most attractive.
Verdict: white
Endless Summer: started out with Sean. Got to book 3, hadnāt used any diamonds, and got soo bored of him because he was just so⦠good and not very interesting. Ended up restarting, going for Jake and spent looootsa diamonds. I was the African American MC.
Verdict: white, Jake, though MC is black
HSS: Went for Caleb. He was the cutest and narrative seemed to push me that way. Never restarted but kinda wish Iād have gone for Michael (kinda like in ES I went for Jake). But it has nothing to do with skin color, I just think they arenāt too interesting. I was the super white MC with blonde hair lol
Verdict: black, Caleb
HSS2: Iām going for Ajay. I was gonna go for Rory (I made him the black one bc I always want to make them black but then they smile and look like a horse. Itās not against black skin but the artists, why do you make them smile like that??? Anyway I was so happy black Rory was just really cute and I was gonna date him). But I found Rory boring and went for Ajay who I love. Ajay looks Indian to me? Is that right?
Verdict: non-white, Ajay is Indian (I looked up the name Ajay and found lots of Indian ppl with that name)
RCD: I went for Matt because well, idk I just did. Iām not crazy about any of those LIs to be honest, though.
Verdict: white, Matt
AME: I went for the āhandsome stranger,ā though I also messed around with the ābeautiful contestantā lol. Again though, I didnāt get too invested in any relationships here. MC was the black one.
Verdict: white, that one dude, and MC is black
Perfect Match: Damien. Heās human and male and theyāre cute together. Though I WAS a little seduced by Hayden sometimes⦠(he was the dark haired white one) but the whole robot human thing was too weird for me.
Verdict: white, Damien
Ilitw: meh I didnāt really like many people from the gang. Ended up dating Connor š I didnāt remember him looking so weird when he came back in ILB
Verdict: white, Connor
Ilb: Danni! Iām playing as a dude this time ha so I went for Danni. Sheās Latina so she aināt really white, technically. MC was the Asian looking dude with blonde hair so he looks like a surfer lol
Verdict: Not-White, Danni is Latina
D&D: Sinclaire ā¤ļø Heās like my fav LI type, sweet and generous but rough on the outside. Also heās the only LI you donāt have to spend diamonds on so thereās that⦠MC was the Asian one
Verdict: white, Sinclaire
Blood Bound: Adrian. Tried to go for Jax but found him dull. I canāt believe I wasted diamonds in that stupid scene where he cooks for you š© I have the sexy Adrian, with the middle tone skin. My MC was the Emma Watson lookalike.
Verdict: white, Adrian
Rules of Engagement: Who cares š I went for Leo though.
Verdict: white; Leo
Home for the Holidays: WHO CARES?? š I went for the boss dude tho. Canāt remember his name.
Verdict: white, whatās-his-face
BSC: I donāt care about this book and honestly I could go for Dallas or Sawyer at this point. I def find Dallas most attractive and like his personality, but heās hardly there and thereās kind of a paywall⦠lame.
Verdict: undecided but probably black (for Dallas)
Elementalists: Havenāt decided. Probably gonna go for the Draco dude though because he seems most interesting to me. MC is the black one.
TL;DR The majority of the dudes I choose are white but itās because of their personality and nothing against the color. I like having diverse MCs so I switch it up often. Let people date who they want, but folks, donāt be racist.
Oh and also, even if I do mostly date white dudes in the games (partially due to paywalls around non-white LIs and a higher number of white options) itās just coincidence since I only choose off of personality. Also also, my husbandās black so I think that trumps a choose-your-own story app š
this is it we found the ultimate dumbass
Choices Heritage Post
"I Would Like To Rage" lmfao what-
Aerinators when Aerin gets in front of MC to sacrifice himself for them by taking the killing blow instead and then holds eye contact until the moment he dies so their face can be the last thing he ever sees

POOKIEāS COMING HOME
they saw you from across the bar and they hate your vibe
I am, once again, thinking about N Sewell and one of their favorite books, Great Gatsby (which is also one of my favorite books). This is also partially inspired by the bonus content that was posted a few days ago! It's been on my mind ever since. Because of that, and because itās more of a ramble than anything else, Iām putting the rest of this post under the break.Ā
One big part of Nās character that intrigues me is the way they cling to their humanity. Or rather, whatever is left of it. Theyāve spent so much of the last three centuries holding on as tight as they can to what they used to be, and it carries over into their love for reading and storiesāwhich is also one of the main themes of Great Gatsby: holding onto the past, even when it kills you. Gatsby has spent years stubbornly holding onto the memories of the relationship he used to have with Daisy that his perception of the truth has been completely skewed. All he cares about is stopping time and turning back the clock. (Thereās even a quote about it. āCanāt repeat the past? Why, of course you can!ā And the tea scene, which is a personal favorite.)
Heās hung all of his hopes on having her again; we all know sheās the green light he keeps reaching for. (And the color green symbolizes so many things: wealth, prosperity, envy, to name a few that fit.) To Gatsby, Daisy is the living embodiment of all his desires. He isnāt in love with her so much as he is in love with the idea of her; sheās become a sort of status symbol to him. Something to project his desires onto. If he can have her, it means heās achieved all heās ever wanted. The wealth, the high-class life, the privilege, all of these things heās been hungry for and has devoted himself to obtaining.Ā
Similarly, turning was something that N never wanted. Having their mortality taken from them is a wound that has never healed, even after all these years; partially due to their own avoidance. N enjoys cooking. They eat human food. They lose themself in their books and the stories they adore so much, and all because they canāt handle the truth of their reality. N dives into their beloved stories with so much romanticism because itās easier than facing whatās real, just as they play at still being human.Ā
Which is part of what makes their relationship with the Detective in the romance route so interesting to me. Time and time again, weāve seen the way N latches onto the Detectiveās humanity. N makes off-hand (and presumptuous) comments about the Detective becoming a vampire in the future, and yet at the same time admits to themself that they don't want them to turn. N treasures their mortality and itās easy to interpret part of that as them projecting onto the Detective; they donāt want what happened to them to happen to their partner. It is, in a way, Nās own method of stopping time and fixing the past. That isnāt to say that N doesnāt love the Detective, because they do, but there are definitely some parallels between the relationship they share with the Detective, and the one Gatsby and Daisy have. Green is even Nās color; we see them wearing it all the time.Ā
Nās inability to face the truth is also reminiscent of our iconic narrator, Nick Carraway. Though he claims to be āone of the few honest men he has ever known,ā he has an enormous blind spot when it comes to himself and to Gatsby. Despite how he insists on giving an unbiased opinion on the events that unfold, thereās an undeniable favoritism to his neighbor. Nick also plays a hand in setting up the affair between Gatsby and Daisy, and judges the people he interacts with throughout the book. Setting himself up as āhonestā and unbiasedāmerely an outside spectator, nothing moreāin the beginning only makes it easier for him to swallow everything that happens later on, even when they become unacceptable. Especially when this clearly isnāt the case, and heās involved far more than heās willing to, or capable of, admitting.Ā
That kind of denial can be dangerousānot unlike how the idealist and romantic parts of N are equally enchanting as they are a concern. In their own way, N is just as unreliable as Nick. (Remember the, āNot with my own hands, no,ā answer they give the Detective, after being asked if theyāve ever taken a life?) N prefers the dreamy notions found between the pages of their books and the denial of the part they ever played aboard The Queenās Sabre over the cold and unsavory truth, even three hundred years after it happened. Just as they continue to pretend to still be human.Ā
But you canāt hold onto the past forever, and you canāt keep lying to yourself. Blatant denial can only go so far, especially not when you have an eternity to live. Sooner or later you have to let goāor they will drown you. Iām just very interested in seeing the path Nās route takes in the future books. Their intentional avoidance could very well lead to their undoing (or at least a very fun read). They can learn how to face the truth, face the facts of what theyāve done and what they are⦠or they can let their stubbornness destroy them, and bring the Detective down with them.Ā

'How do you manage? The enormity of how much you care about everything. Even the little things. Especially the little things. How do you keep yourself from getting hurt?'
