Wow, 1,000 followers! I'm so glad that you're all here to witness this journey with me!
I thought I should offer something for this, and decided on a poll at last. I wanted to write a free snippet for you all that wouldn't come up in the story. So I thought of these:
Softly, Opulent is a dark fantasy romance, an interactive fiction not suited for those under 17.
Demo. [Prologue and Chapter One.]
The Queen dies the night you’re born. And your family locks you away.
All of King Adder’s children are a mystery to the common folk, but you—you are nothing but a ghost. A ghost, that spends eighteen years locked away in the deepest part of the palace, so that no eyes may lay upon you.
And those that do—they do not treat you kindly.
And when you are finally of age, at last, you are betrothed to the child of the King of a far away kingdom, to secure an alliance that your father has been seeking for years.
And you are swept away to a place even more foreign than your own land, to be wed to a stranger that looks at you with contempt. To live in a kingdom of citizens that despise you.
And perhaps, just perhaps, fight a war.
Content Warnings: Softly, Opulent contains many upsetting themes, such as: arranged marriage, child abuse, child neglect, assault, death, murder, suicide, sexually suggestive scenes, and more. Viewer discretion is advised, and this story is only appropriate for those 17+.
Customize your main character. (Name, Pronouns, Appearance, Personality.)
Romance one of four characters. (All of which are gender selectable.)
Overcome your past trauma.
Befriend many side characters.
Learn magic, learn how to fight.
Possibly overthrow your father, the tyrant King.
Attend balls, and witness the viper pit that is high society.
Fight an undead army.
The Betrothed, Aleksandar/Aleksandra. (Gender Selectable. She/Her. He/Him.) - They are the heir to the throne of Aslerea and your betrothed. But it’s the last thing they want to be. They seem to hold something against you. They are serious and spend hours upon hours training—they’re preparing for something. Their engagement to you is quite the hinder, but can you make them see it differently? Their duty blinds them, but you can change that.
The Pirate Captain, Rhys/Rhea. (Gender Selectable. She/Her. He/Him.) - They are a mystery. They are a pirate—the very embodiment of freedom and sea, yet they choose to remain in the kingdom of Aslerea more often than not. They stand to gain something by being there, but you don’t know what. There’s something in you that tells you that you can’t trust them, but their smile is so pretty, and their flirtation so constant that you want to. But maybe—just maybe, if you play your cards right—they will treat you as tenderly as their dearest treasure.
The Shadow, Calixta/Calix. (Gender Selectable. She/Her. He/Him.) - They are your betrothed’s younger sibling, and so no one pays quite as much attention to them. Though they seem content in their sibling’s shadow—content with their lack of responsibility—you can’t help but wonder if there’s more to it. They are as lazy as a bump on a log, and they likely sleep more than anything else—but there’s an interest in their eyes when they look at you. Is it something deep, or just a longing to claim what their sibling has? You could find out.
The Tutor, Mestra/Mestrn. (Gender Selectable. She/Her. He/Him.) - They are assigned as your tutor and tasked with the great undertaking of making you fit to lead. But they are also close with the people in the palace, and help the servants when they can. They know commoners by name and spend nights in the tavern, surrounded by free drinks. And while they are kind, there is something beneath it all that suggests a person that will go far to protect those they care about. Whether it’s because of their kind nature or something else, they have no enemies.
Trentworth, Maine. A town of ten thousand southeast of Ellsworth and North of Bayside. Its only bragging point since its conception in 1867 was being a shoreline city and cheaper than any of the other big tourist towns. Nothing ever happened here, besides the occasional drowning or fishing trip accident, until the killings started. They lasted five years in total and 48 people were lost to the killer’s sick desires. Robert Hall terrorized this small town, slipping under the radar by focusing on those considered “undesirable”; sex workers, orphans, drug addicts, and the like. Now ten years later, ten years after the killer has been put behind bars, murders have begun again. A copycat killer has come to Trentworth. And they seem to be targeting the ones left behind, still trying to pick up the shattered pieces of their lives…
You take the role of a highschool senior; your parents having died in a home fire shortly before the killer was put behind bars and now under the care of your workaholic aunt. Make allies of your classmates or attempt to go it alone, clear your parents’ name from their believed involvement with the killer or fight to put the past behind you, deal with the skeletons in your closet and mind or bury them deeper… Oh, and make sure your history project is turned in on time. With two young siblings depending on you and a whole host of problems a highschool student should never have to deal with, can you survive this nightmare made real?
Trigger Warnings: This game will go into very heavy topics including the following; murder, death, various mental health issues (such as PTSD, depression, and anxiety), abandonment, gambling, various types of drug addiction, self harm mentions (not happening to the MC or shown in graphic detail), suicide, sex work, child abuse (mental, emotional, and physical), and dangerous situations. This is a murder mystery/thriller, it is NOT intended for audiences below 18.

COG forum
Summary
You were conditioned to obey from your youngest age, despite being in line for the throne. As the thirteenth born, you were always treated as the spare one.
Who will you be loyal to, when fate makes you choose? The family who raised and abused you, or the Emperor/Empress you are left to as part of a bargain?
Features
Customise your gender, appearance and sexuality.
Play as a secret informant or completely break the ties that bind you to your birth family.
Find romance where you least expect it.
Love Interests
The Servant [M/F]: one of the servants employed in the castle. Every time you see them, they seem more exhausted and worn than the last. There can be a small, tiny spark inside them to be light up if only you take the first step.
The Emperor/Empress [M/F]: known as a tyrannical warbringer, their name preceeds them. And yet, why do you feel less threatened in their presence than you felt in your own home? Why do they look at you with wonder and softness?
The Imperial Servant [NB]: widely considered the Emperor/Empress’s left hand (fitting, considered the Emperor/Empress lack one), they were chosen as their Imperial Majesty’s closest servant because they were born deaf. While seemingly innocuous at first glance, they hold great power within the palace walls. They love bargaining and could grant many of your wishes - for a price.
Agent 180. One of the finest field agents the International Intelligence Agency ever produced; a force of nature who could stroll into danger and get out without spilling a drop of your cocktail. At least, that's the person you used to be. Are you still? Your skills and your loyalties have been tested recently. Maybe you're still looking for a chance to prove yourself... maybe you're looking for other options.
DIABLO. Your greatest foe. The spider at the center of the web; a criminal organization with influence throughout the world. But power like that is hard to keep. Rumor has it that the organization's leader keeps power through a collection of blackmail material, a treasure trove of secrets that could rock the world.
Rumor has it that the leader is dead, and the collection is up for grabs.
A prize many would kill for - and when you are drawn into a war for the underworld, you must decide: who will you trust? And who will you betray?
DEMO | FORUM (tba) | SPOTIFY | KO-FI
Continue your adventure from The Aegis Project, or start afresh.
Customise your version of superspy Agent 180. Choose your gender, backstory, motivations, and of course, favorite cocktail.
Pick sides in a conflict between rival crime lords.
Take in the sights in a variety of farflung foreign locations, when people there aren't trying to kill you.
Explore complex relationships with the main cast beyond a simple friendship meter - are you and they kindred spirits? friendly rivals? enemies with benefits?
Fight your enemies' henchmen - or try to befriend them.
Have a drink with a supervillain.
Watch out for sharks.
ANGEL | 25 | m/f/nb [Romanceable by all]
A DIABLO operative. You've met before, and they certainly made an impression. With their striking looks and flirtatious charm, Angel's good at making impressions, but you've seen the menace that lurks beneath their easy smiles. Their interest in you is something you could exploit - if it's real, and if you can keep yourself from getting too close...
AGENT 313 | 30ish | m/f [Romanceable by MCs of the same gender]
An agent working in the mission control and analysis department; 313 is a technical genius with a strong moral centre - which is not the best thing to have, in your line of work. When 313 dives deeper into the shadows, will they emerge unscathed? And will you be there to watch their back, or clash over your plans?
AGENT 100 | 53 | m [Romanceable by all]
100's legendary charm, daring, and sheer luck have seen him become the IIA's most successful agent. Now he's supposed to be retiring - but he's never been good at resisting the lure of action. The only thing longer than his list of triumphs is his list of enemies, but can you keep him from being his own worst enemy?
SINCLAIR | late 20s | m/f/nb [Romanceable by all]
A cat burglar whose wit is as quick as their hands, Sinclair is a blast from your past who has re-emerged just in time to get themself in trouble. You always knew them as someone primarily motivated by self-interest - has anything changed?
AGENT 196 | mid 30s | f | [Non-romanceable... unless...?]
The severe, cynical field agent who you've been partnered with. She doesn't seem to be your biggest fan, but is there something more to it than a clash of personalities?
SERAPH | 40? | m | [Non-romanceable]
DIABLO's top assassin, a grim shadow whose mission clashes with your own. But there is more to him than meets the eye - will you be able to settle things peacefully, or will it all end in bloodshed?
AZAZEL
You know next to nothing about this enigmatic evil genius - but Azazel has a plan, and you might just end up as part of it.
BEELZEBUB
This ruthless crimelord sees himself as the natural choice for DIABLO leader. Others disagree, but he's more than willing to go to any extremes for victory.

Hello guys!! So sorry for my absence! I've made JS code free for anyone to use in their Twine game, which allows you to have multiple pronouns for your main character -- for example, she/they, she/he, she/he/they, whatever combination!
Some features include:
Completely customizable, and therefore neopronouns-friendly!
No limitations as to how many sets of pronouns you can add—you can add even just one.
Can determine singular and plural pronouns, even if you use pronouns that are different
Automatically switches between pronouns -- and you only need to write ?mcthey, ?mcthem, etc.
If you want to stick to one pronoun temporarily (e.g. so a character refers to MC as she/her and not switch to they/them mid-sentence), it is possible, too!
SHOUTOUT to @magiciansvoyage for inspiring me to do this for Twine!! :)
Why I Did This
I was inspired by @magiciansvoyage (!!!) who made multipronouns in CS, and I wanted to make multipronouns in Twine. Shout to them for this, they're amazing!!
I'm aware there are other gender code out there, but as far as I know, I don't know of any that can have multiple pronouns and switch between them using she/her and they/them automatically, for example.
How to Implement?
Just copy and paste the JavaScript code into your JavaScript, and copy and paste the variables into your StoryInit passage! Link to code here!
You can find the macro with in-depth explanation of what everything does here! I will include a How To underneath the readmore as well for a quick and dirty, but you will still benefit a lot from reading through the readme on GitHub.
How to Use?
This section will be more process-oriented than detail-oriented. For a better explanation on ?mcthey, $mc_they, and the <<gender>> macro, look at my readme on GitHub where you pull the code!
The Setup
Allow the player to add their pronouns for themselves as you would normally. Set these to $mc_they, $mc_them, $mc_theirs, $mc_themself, and $mc_plural (true if plural, false if singular).
Then, you can add this to your MC's pronouns with < < gender $mc_they $mc_them $mc_their $mc_theirs $mc_themself $mc_plural > > (had to add a space between the triangle brackets because Tumblr is weird). This will add that set of pronouns, which will be in rotation throughout the story. Make sure to add every argument, or else the macro will complain you've added too little.
When you want the player to add a new set of pronouns, repeat steps 1 and 2. You can keep prompting the player to add pronouns until they're satisfied. Make sure you give them a confirmation and reiterate what pronouns they've added, as there will be no way to remove pronouns once done (I may add this feature in the future if needed).
In-text
If you want to change between she/they, use ?mcthey or ?mcThey for capitalization. For her/them, use ?mcthem or ?mcThem. And so on.
If you want to use is/are, use $mc_is (a $ this time, not a ?), or $mc_was if you're writing in past tense. It will take the latest pronoun mentioned to determine whether to use is/are. If "they" was last mentioned, it will use "are". If "she" was last mentioned, it will use "is".
If you want to use a contraction like they're or she's, then use ?mctheyre or ?mcTheyre.
If you want to stick to one pronoun temporarily, use $mc_they, $mc_them, etc. It will stick to the last pronoun mentioned by ?mcthey, ?mcthem, etc.
If you want to use singular verb vs. plural verb, use $mc_s. Again, it will take the latest pronoun mentioned to determine whether to add "s" to a verb or not.
I also added $mc_has that follows the same logic as $mc_is to determine has vs have.
If this isn't super clear, make sure to read the readme. Also, feel free to DM or ask questions otherwise! :)
“That's right, I don’t like to be summoned on trivial matters.” For Rune.
Rune is moving toward the door like they have another place to be when it's so late at night. They’re moving toward the door, and you feel like they're slipping through your grasp.
You step wildly toward them and throw your arms around them, halting them in place.
“...You aren’t sick. You aren’t in pain. So why did you call me?” Rune remains dormant in your arms. “I could be attending to someone else.”
“I—” You begin, but cut off. You aren't really sure what to say.
“...Just tell me you want to see me next time.” Their voice is softer than it usually is.
also I just wanted to say I really appreciate you and how you’re trying. thank you for keeping us updated. your game is one of the few I check on everyday and I really appreciate all you’re doing <3. we know it’s hard work, along with life and I just really REALLY appreciate you. thank you so much. I really enjoy your writing.

I lost most of my progress for the second chapter. I was using the web version of twine and I opened it up to find it gone. Hah. Fear not all, I've already begun it again. Perhaps this was a sign from the Heavens since I wasn't satisfied with the chapter, to begin with! Now I have to do it again.
I’ll also try my best to be more active on here. I posted some prompts the other day and got no takers. 😭 Please I'm trying my hardest, let me answer your questions.
I'm also planning to change the twine template I'm using at some point, so that may help the issues some people are having. :)
Hii, I just wanted to say I am really enjoying cure the curse so far! The story is good and the texts are not something overwhelming to read. Also, I’m in love with your characters, they are so lovely (at the moment Cyrus is winning a place in my heart-)! I have to ask thought, if is something you can answer, when is the rebel going to appear?
Well, I just wanted to say I’m really liking your project so far, and I will be surely looking forward to see the future updates of cure the curse or any other project you come up with!
Thank you so much! The Rebel will be introduced in the next update! :))
