Back in 2021, when I first uploaded the demo for Citadel, I didn't really know what to expect. And, I have to say, this all still feels a little surreal.

But, what I know for sure is I'm so, so grateful for all of you. Thank you for playing my game, for sending in asks, for liking/reblogging my posts, and for cheering me on through medical school and now through residency. I can't emphasize enough that Citadel would not be possible without you.

As a 3,000 follower special, I’m putting 3 short snippets up for grabs.

If you like this post, you’ll be entered into the raffle once.

Cheers!

I'm curious to know 1) what skills are popular; 2) what flaws are popular; and 3) how people tend to allocate their stats.

Latest update: 10 April 2025

Chapter two is out! Exactly a year after the first, which at the very least is an amusing consistency. This update adds over 40,000 words, doubling the length of the demo!

 I’ve stared for what feels like decades at the words on the screen so I could really use some help spotting inconsistencies (especially with characters!), issues with pacing, places of confusion. I am absolutely overwhelmed with this for a first project, but I am equally determined to continue. I’m a little desperate for feedback so please tell me what you think! If you liked it, tell me why. If you didn’t, tell me what. If you gave it a shot but it failed to grab you attention let me know where and why if you can!

 I hope things start to come together strongly for this chapter and you enjoy it as much as I did writing it.

I’ve a few more in-depth thoughts about a few things I could use suggestions and help with and I’ll post those in a little while.

 In the meantime I hope you have had a happy new year and enjoy the story!

DEMO

I can't believe I can FINALLY post this.

For any who haven't seen what this is about yet, you can read that here.

New playable chapter one can be found on DashingDon.

I absolutely want to hear all of your thoughts, if you come across issues, misspellings, misgenderings (all genders are variables, so I fully expect to have messed up a few), and anything that just feel wonky.

I want to hear it all.

Edit: CoG forum thread can be found here!

I said I'd do this a few weeks ago, but better late than never, right? Here is the official dev blog for Invicto, my Hosted Games WiP! I plot the story every day, but updates are rather few and between at the moment, so hopefully this blog can fill up some of that space.

Ask me anything about the characters, the story, what you want for your MCs, or anything else that comes to mind! But check out some of the sidebars first!

P.S: I reserve the right to edit this blog as the story goes along-- watch out for any updates!
