POLYMER DESPAIR presents: a childhood favourite…

🦁         the Lyon 🦁

Walking home at night, you spot a damaged cartridge in the middle of the road.

You almost remember this. Didn’t your cousin have this? Or a friend in your hometown? Is there a copy with your own saves, your own after-bedtime memories, buried in storage somewhere?

All you can do is dig out an old system - just barely old enough to be backwards-compatible with the cartridge you’ve found, and nearly broken itself - and check it out.

A personal microhorror from Polymer Despair; a game about playing when you aren’t supposed to, exploring the holes left by other people, and the moments when everything suddenly stops.

FEATURING:

40 pictures

21 noises

SOME MILD JUMPSCARES (shuddersome noises and weird looks; no gore or hyperrealistic bloodshot eyes etc)

POLYMER DESPAIR presents…

THE MONSTERDOME ANNUAL 2017

Welcome to Monsterdome™! You, yes, you, have been selected by the ineffable Will™ of the Battlegods™ as a monster trainer; one who raises and prepares monsters for the trials of the eight Domes, hoping to battle their way up to an audience with the Battlegods™themselves.

But! You might be confused, at first. What’s a good Outer-class monster for novices? How should I address that Dome Master with a pearl for a head? What powers does my MASQUERTO possess? Whatever shall I fuse my sweet BATARO with?

The answers to these questions, and many more, can be found in the MONSTERDOME ANNUAL 2017, a handy up-to-date zine/spotter’s guide to 100 of the monsters created by your friend and my me, Polymer Despair. From ABSYNTH to ZOOZE, through EDENDOME to STARDOME and beyond, start a journey through memories of flashy “Official Annuals” for the latest big monster-based franchises… today!

FEATURING:

75 PAGES of the freshest MONSTERDOME CONTENT!

100 ORIGINAL MONSTERS, with descriptions and skillsets provided!

8 DOMES to find them in!

8 DOME MASTERS to face!

MY personal gratitude!

POLYMER DESPAIR presents:

☽ IN THE ARMS OF THE NIGHT ☾

A couple of years ago, you knew a shy but nice research student - even hooked up with him, a couple of times. You fell out touch, but now he’s back…

…and he’s become a giant bat, twice your size, with big ears, big eyes, and wings that can wrap around you like a blanket.

For some reason, it’s only made him hotter.

As if navigating your rekindled relationship wasn’t enough, you’ve got your local super-criminal network to deal with - and they’re just dying to get to know the new couple…

Experience IN THE ARMS OF THE NIGHT, the latest twine from the brain that brought you BATWORLD and DEMON DATE: a monster romance between you (the reader) and a big anthropomorphic man-like bat - or is it the other way around?

DEMO VERSION AVAILABLE - the first three chapters, for free!
