Like many of you, I woke up to the AI slop It Lives Within "TV show" on the Choices app. Having spent thousands (no joke) of loving hours on the fan-made It Lives Within, I admit it felt like a bit of a kick to the gut, especially since I'd stayed up until 2 AM the night before, meticulously working on improving the programming of textbox animations for the updated version of the game.
But at the end of the day, the people are what own stories. It doesn't matter what PB puts out, especially when it so blatantly disrespects a series we all hold close to our hearts. We can choose what to support, what to value, and what to be our true version of these stories.
As such, I wanted to provide an update for "It Lives Within: The Obsidian Cut." We are working extremely hard to finish rewrites, and I apologize it's taking so long - but real work takes time. We take so long because we don't use AI to do our work for us. Our testers have found hundreds of bugs, which have been corrected. I'm currently working on some rewrites for chapters 21-22, and once that's finished, I'm going to play from start to finish with different MCs to include more complete personality variants for your MC.
While our game was highly beloved (which I am still so wholly grateful for three years after the final episode aired), I know some of you tried the original version and decided it wasn't for you. Others maybe never heard of it. But, with the news of AI It Lives Within dropping today, I just wanted to invite everyone to give our fan version a chance. If you tried it before and gave up, or haven't played it yet, I recommend waiting until Obsidian airs to experience that version for the first time. And if you did play the original, stick around! You'll love Obsidian when it airs. All of our testers are highly enjoying it and say that it improves on the story with every change, while still be the story they knew and love.
AI It Lives Within is frustrating and offensive, but ultimately, we never needed their blessing, and neither do you. Our story started small, with a team that never made any money. Everything was done out of passion and love for this series and these characters, and we were and still are, devoted to creating truly player-drive stories where your choices matter. A LOT. That passion is something that can never be generated in any machine. Stories from the heart speak to the heart, "canon" or not, and what really matters is how theses stories impact and inspire us.
In the last chapter when defeating Thomas it's described that the Nightbound Main Character her skin blazing like a sun. Doesn't it sound it pretty? Wish PB made an art-scene/CG of it ✨️
Hello, i am confused a little now and could use a sum up. I thought you guys would be great to ask.
How many choices fanprojects and which one do we have now? Both, finished and in-progress.
Thx for answering
Good question!
Currently as far as I know the only finished ones are Distant Shores: Coming Home and It Lives Within (which also has an alternate version called The Obsidian Cut coming soon).
There are a number of ones in progress, for example, I just recently found out about The Phantom Agent: Ride or Die! This is a sequel to both Ride or Die and The Phantom Agent. I don't know too much but I just played the demo and it looks like at least in Chapter 1 it's mostly from the point of view of the ROD MC but with an older looking MC.
Other fan projects that have had a demo out are The Elementalists and Bloodbound: The Siege.
There is also a project for The Cursed Heart.
There was also news of a fan made sequel for Hero and Laws of Attraction but I haven't heard any updates lately.
There was a project for Immortal Desires that started back when ID was going to be a standalone before PB decided to reverse the decision but that one ended up cancelled but fortunately PB did end up making sequels after all.
There is also a sub-reddit about Choices fan projects here!: https://www.reddit.com/r/ChoicesFanProjects/
That's as much as I can recall so far. Let me know if there are any others I missed.

Creating It Lives Within was an incredible honor, and we're so proud of what we made. That said, because we released the game as we were writing it, we never had the chance to edit it as a single, cohesive work. And looking back, there were a lot of things I wished I could fix.
It Lives Within: The Obsidian Cut is my chance to do so. In addition to cleaning up pacing issues and strengthening weaker arcs, it also includes:
New art
New audio tracks and sound effects
Robust character customization
All-new scenes
Hundreds of new personality-based dialogue variants
A new MC hobbies/interests mechanic
Post-ending bonus episodes
Open code to let people edit their sprites and help others learn from our code, if interested
And more!
Keep reading under the cut for more details 🔥
Note: It Lives Within: The Obsidian Cut is a separate app from the original game. The original will remain available on our itch.io page, alongside Obsidian, under the name "It Lives Within: Legacy Edition."
CHARACTER CUSTOMIZATION
NEW BODY TYPES
It was always our ultimate vision to include more body types. Now with our improved skills, we are happy to announce FOUR new body types!
Feminine Slim and Masculine Solid
Masculine Slender and Masculine Full
UN-GENDERLOCKED HAIRSTYLES
As the eagle-eyed may have noticed in the above screen shot, we also now have resized ALL hairstyles for ALL genders, for Devon, Harper, and Rowan alike. You can also now pick Harper's clothes!
BETTER ACCESSORY CUSTOMIZATION
Glasses, piercings, and earrings are separated so you can now mix and match as you please (example in the video below).
NEW HIJAB OPTIONS
New hijab options, plus you can now pick ANY hairstyle with the hijab, not just hairstyles that could be layered under the hijab without peeking out.
IMPROVED USER EXPERIENCE
This video will showcase:
Revamped settings UI (you can now delete saves in game!)
Item descriptions and page tabs
Easier to navigate closet
Improved accessories selection
Background panning
Improved game animations
Auto-hiding settings buttons for a less cluttered screen
GAMEPLAY ADDITIONS
PERSONALITY SYSTEM REVAMP
I have meticulously gone through the game and adjusted countless dialogues and sprite reactions to help the three personalities (genuine/sarcastic/aggressive) feel more consistent. No more weirdly upbeat grumps or overly sarcastic sweethearts. You'll feel your MC's personality at all times - not just during menus.
INTERESTS SYSTEM
The Obsidian Cut gives Rowan the option to pick two hobbies or interests: a primary and secondary trait.
These interests will occasionally influence automatic dialogue, give Rowan unique dialogue options, and alter how certain scenes play out.
NEW SCENES
Let's just say what's the point of releasing a new edition if there aren't some new scenes? Have some teaser screencaps, and know there's more where that came from!
NEW OUTFITS AND SPRITES
Lincoln has new, meticulously hand drawn tattoos. Noah's new outfit was also drawn from scratch. While his outfit will be consistent throughout the game, Lincoln's is an alt that is worn on occasion. Other sprites and outfits may have been edited, but these two were the biggest jobs.
In addition to that, we also have some completely new creature sprites, and the final game product will showcase a some updated CGs as well!
BONUS EPISODES
And last but not least, you'll get to play some additional episodes following the end of the game:
The Beach Episode: Lincoln invites all your friends to Seaside, Oregon, for a group vacation. Mixed and blood routes.
The Shadow Episode: Amalia's graduating, and her friends are there to support her. Shadow route.
Because of the massive number of variants possible upon reaching the end, there will not be an additional episode for any of the other endings.
OPEN CODE
In addition to all these new features, we will be leaving the code open. As such, it will allow players to customize in-game sprites, so have fun editing and putting your character directly into the game! We also hope that the open code will be educational for anyone interested in making visual novels or Choices fan projects.
IN CONCLUSION:
It Lives Within: The Obsidian Cut is an edited alternate version of ILW that will be released in the next few months, started because I wanted to edit the game. It includes new art, scenes, game mechanics, and a streamlined user experience. That said, certain lines of dialogue were changed and other scenes were cut during the edited process. If you find yourself missing things that were in the original but are not in Obsidian, feel free to stick with It Lives Within: Legacy Edition.
Excited to share my work with you! Thanks for your support, and happy Halloween!! 🎃👻

Hello everyone, welcome to the blog of The Cursed Heart Project! We are creating a fan-made book 3 of The Cursed Heart series.
Who are we?
Currently, we are a team of two people:
@leafkingofbirds - writer and originator of the project
@zhoumeyourlove - art assets
If you’re interested in joining the team, please DM this blog to let us know! We would really appreciate having more people to help!
It would be great to have someone with experience in Ren’Py, but that’s not a necessity at all - we're figuring it out as we go as well!
What is the project about?
The ending of Book 2 doesn’t lend itself well to a sequel, so the project starts at the point where MC is cursed and continues from there. Kieran and MC will have to search for a cure to the Immortality Curse...before it's too late, and MC is heartless forever.
Will there be a wedding?
There will be the option to have Kieran and MC get married, as well as the option to have a child (biological or adopted)!
However, this is not a wedding book (like quite a few Book 3s have been), because not all players will want these things…and of course, MC has to get their heart back for the wedding to happen at all.
When can we expect the game?
We don’t have an estimate as to when the project will be completed. This is a massive undertaking and neither of us have worked on a visual novel before, so we can’t promise anything in terms of timeline.
If you want to see this done sooner, consider helping us complete it ;D

In case you're interested (idk if you still have the app), Romance Club just dropped out a new Gender of Choice Book called "Blue Code". So far, it's about Hospital, Doctors,... etc. That's all we know right now. There's even a doctor called Tobias (like in Choices Open Heart) 😂😂
Ooh that's interesting! I'll look into more of that!
This project is in its infancy, but if you would like to express support, ideas, or volunteer to help, please send a message. In particular, we are looking for those with Ren'py programming skills and artists.
Please note this is a fan project done for fun on a volunteer basis, for free.
