Bro I Want To Say That I Really Enjoyed Your Long Weekend!!! You're So Good! But For God's Sake I've
bro I want to say that I really enjoyed your long weekend!!! You're so good! but for god's sake I've played it three times and the ending still isn't what I thought it would be💀 so please tell me what can I do to make my MC have a good ending, I'm starting to doubt that my MC actually was originally no good ending lol
Hi! I’m really glad you enjoyed A Long Weekend!
I had written a short guide on the forum, but it didn’t attract much interest, and since it’s quite a bit of work, I didn’t finish writing the walkthroughs. Let’s see if I can help you here now!
First of all, let me ask you a few questions (sorry if they’re a bit basic, but I’m basing this on my past experiences!):
Do you check the stats while you play? Right from the start, there’s not much, but you do need to keep an eye on the "Mind" and "Energy" bars!
Do you try to balance Mind and Energy? What values do you reach toward the end of the game?
Do you meet Alex? If so, what are your choices?
Do you generally choose "passive" actions? Like, staying in bed, not going out, etc.?
Do you generally choose "jealous" actions? Like, checking the photos, calling the bff, writing a negative email, etc.?
By understanding your playstyle, I can guide you a bit better in the right direction!
Thanks for playing A Long Weekend and for reaching out to me about it ♥

Hi friend, so happy for you and your progress. Hope you're doing well. 🩷
Hi dearie! Thank you for asking :) I'm doing as well as my body allows me to do lol But I try to keep up with all I have to do!
I hope life's treating you well ♥
I tried checking the stats carefully like you said and I succeeded on the 5th try! and I'm really satisfied😆 really like your game, you're really talented!!! Looking forward to your next products🤩
Yay! I’m glad you made it! Can I ask which ending you got? There are seven in total ☺
Thank you so much for your kind words! I don’t have any other published games at the moment, but you can follow my works in progress here on Tumblr (check the tags #After Dark and #The In-Between on my blog), on the forum (After Dark and The In-Between threads), and generally on Patreon (with the #Hope Abides exclusive as well). You can also stay in touch via Discord if you’d like!

How can anyone live like this? It’s a question you ask yourself often—and for good reason. In this interactive fiction, you play as a character navigating a dystopian world where gender is binary, assigned at birth, and non-negotiable, and where only heterosexual marriage is allowed.
Over the course of six decades, you’ll have to survive in a society determined to break your spirit and force you to conform—something you refuse to do. Instead, your mission is to fight for the rights of marginalized communities, as well as your own.
Notes & Mechanics:
An LGBTQIA+ themed interactive fiction written by an LGBTQIA+ author! ♥
Play as male, female, nonbinary, or anything else; intersex or not; gay, lesbian, bi, straight, aro, or ace!
Find love and take things to a super steamy level... or don't! Surround yourself with friends if you want to. Or do both—find your tribe and thrive!
In the beginning, everything is terrible. Society is hostile, oppressive, and downright terrifying. But this is where YOU step in—your goal is to change the world and strive for utopia!
Features nearly 30 different stats tracking a broad spectrum of rights, from marriage equality and healthcare access to anti-amatonormativity laws!
Over 240 planned scenes for maximum replayability (yes, it’s going to be massive!)
Seven distinct endings—can you achieve the best one? ;-)
Hope Abides is a Patreon Exclusive and launches on September 19th!
I've finally published Hope Abides' prologue!

It's very, very short (only 11,000 words so far), but I hope it conveys the right atmosphere! In case you're curious, since it's a Patreon exclusive, you can find it here.
And now... back to work on After Dark! ♥
Hi! The in between interactive novel is honestly amazing! I love how you added different levels of Italian also. I am bilingual and this was truly amazing to see, as primarily I use English now it was awesome to read some parts in Italian ❤️ what made you want to add Italian elements to it?
I'm really happy to hear that. I was hoping someone might appreciate this feature!
The In-Between is set in Italy, more specifically around (and inside) a famous university in Naples. I started writing this story as a novel in Italian when I was attending it, and I had really LOTS of free hours between classes. There was no crime drama in real life, though :D
When I started translating it into English, I was a bit sad to lose all those cultural references, nuances of meaning, etc.—actually impossible to translate into English. Having studied translation and cultural mediation, however, I realised that I could turn the novel into a textual adventure, thus making it possible for different translations and/or linguistic additions otherwise unfeasible in traditional fiction. Et voila, here is the end result. Well, the result in progress, actually ☺
