Beyond The Mist: Beginnings (Demo) by Intimidating Puffin Studios

A visual novel/interactive fiction game set in a world of magic, horror, and intrigue!

You are a young adult adrift in life, suffocating under the yoke of your oppressive parents. Feeling out of sync with the rest of the world, you yearn for freedom and life beyond the bounds of your prison.

You find it in the form of a ravishing stranger and a long lost city, calling out to you across space and time. Something is beckoning underneath the ancient city's glimmering white tiles, something old and powerful. Someone.

Will you resist the call beyond the veil and the promise of belonging it brings, or will you let yourself go and embrace the path destiny has set before you?

The choice is yours. Magnustor is waiting for you.

Features

2 romance options that can either be male or female (player can choose the gender of both).

3 different romance routes; 2 monogamous ones or 1 polyamorous one  (a triad between the player and both romance options).

Romance and customization focused narrative; you can play as straight, gay, or bi and as cisgender, transgender, or nonbinary.

(4?) different endings.

Set in the same universe as The Soul Stone War.

"Oh, I know what this is. I've seen one of those done before." Aegon says being the first to snatch a pumpkin from the table and takes a seat.

"What do we do, exactly?" Nulburnad asks skeptically.

"Hollow it out, then carve scary faces into them. We will put a candle in there which will light it up by night." Elora explains.

"That's what the knives are for! To take their brains out! Ha!" Thamaya is quick to grab her own knife, swinging it in her hand, "Luckily I always come prepared."

"In case you need to take a brain out? Does that happen often?" Ralof asks confused.

"Not as often as I would like." She sighed, taking a pumpkin, smashing it onto the table to instantly bury her knife inside of it - wildly poking it.

"Losers will take the last one." Lorna pushes past them, taking a pumpkin of her own with a knife from the table. 

"It's a competition?" Ralof looks alarmed, "I want to win!" He takes a pumpkin and knife and follows Lorna to the table.

Now only Nulburnad, Sael and Elora remain. 

"It's not a competition." Nul comments.

"No." Elora sighs, "There is nothing to win, I just wanted them to help me with the decorations."

"Meaning you're not participating?" There was a smile wanting to snake onto Nulburnads lips.

"I can't let them out of my sight. They will mess up somehow. I just know it."

"It's not easy gaining your approval, Seeress, now is it?" They were smiling now.

"It's not something anyone should aim for. I am not their god."

"Ah, for a moment I thought you were going to say their mother, but I think both imply the same in a way."

She frowns, "If you want to insult me, you'd have to do better than that."

"You'd know if-"

"No matter what you say, you're helping too. No getting around that." Elora moves forward and grabs a pumpkin, shoving it into Nulburnads arms.

They make a grimace. "It looks kind of messy…"

"Not if you do it properly." She moves to take another pumpkin to place it in Sael's hands, before taking her own, her eyes already scanning the starting works of the others. 

It was cozy, it was chatty, everyone was working together and it was a merry time. 

"Done!" Aegon announces as the first, turning his pumpkin around to show it to the others.

It was beautifully carved. Not a face, but a tree with different shades of depth, it will only really be visible at night, but the details were already quite visible.

"Oh, how did you do the branches?" Ralof says with awe, leaning on the table to better see.

"Don't take too much pressure with the knife."

"Bullshit." Lorna snorts, before turning her own around to be shown. It wasn't bad either, it simply lacked the finer details. Instead, it had a scary grimace, hollowed out completely, it looked proper scary.

"You need to think of the person you hate the most and with that anger inside you, you carve."

Aegon swallowed. "It seems you really do hate them."

"A knife is there to cut." Thamaya provides, licking her lips. She didn't even have to turn her pumpkin around, because quite frankly, it no longer resembled one. It was a mess. She cut all pieces wildly into parts, apparently still eating the insides. It looked like it exploded.

"I don't think it's edible raw." Nulburnad provides, with a raised eyebrow.

"And that was not the task! You ruined the pumpkin, do you know how expensive they are?" Elora fumes, ruffling her hair.

"Calm down, pointy. This one was halfway rotten already, someone tried to fool you. So its worth right now probably resembles the one you brought it at."

"Why are you eating a rotten pumpkin? You know what, I don't even wanna know." Elora waves her own comment off, turning away from Thamaya to show her own. "Perhaps I should have shown my own first, as a reference."

Hers was neatly carved. No odd edges, nothing looking out of the ordinary. The face she carved on was bordering on the scary, up to the point where you know what it was supposed to be, but by far not as scary as Lornas. It was normal, average at best. You could sell it, but its nothing special.

"Oh! Mine next!" Ralof exclaims excited, waving into the round, before lifting his carved pumpkin into the air with a big wide smile.

Everyone squinted their eyes. It wasn't badly carved, but at parts he had dug in deeper and other's he seemed to have failed to do so. It could resemble a face, but it could also just be random holes poked into the thing.

"What exactly… is it?" Elora asks.

"A troll." Lorna provides confident.

"I think it looks more like a- a- like a-" Aegon trails off.

"Repeatedly stabbed pig." Thamaya finishes for Aegon, making everyone grimace at the mental image.

"Oh, but I like it." Aegon tries to remain supportive, "It could mean something different for each of us."

"What, no, I thought it was obvious." Ralof frowns, looking at his own carving now, "That's Nul."

Everyones blinks, the room quieting down.

"It doesn't even remotely resemble me." Nulburnad says, leaned back casually in their chair, back straight.

"What of course it does. See." Ralof points at a hole in the pumpkin, "Those are your eyes, that's your frown and your scales."

There were stifles laughter around the room.

Nulburnad frowns at the offending object. "Then let me rephrase my question. Why would you put my face on a decoration meant to scare people?"

Ralof seems surprised. "Oh, I just, that was the first thing that came to mind when Elora said to carve a face. I didn't mean your face is scary to look at…"

"She said to carve a scary face." He deadpanned, "And you got the scales on the wrong side."

"We need to put it up the front door!" Lorna was laughing loudly, "I would even buy it off you, Ralof."

"We are not having people associate that grimace with my face." Nul disagrees.

"But, I did put alot of effort into it." Ralof sighs, shoulder slumping down. 

Aegon pats his shoulder in sympathy. "I really, really like it. I can see the resemblance."

"No!" Nul jumps from their seat, making everyone look up surprise, they never raise their voice, "I will not tolerate people misconceptioning me. I am not scary."

Everyone was quiet, too surprised or intimidated to say anything.

"Then what you got? Must be a masterwork, eh?" Lorna says, not in the slightest affected by their outburst.

"If you're not finished yet, you can have a little bit more time." Aegon says kindly.

They seem to quickly gather thenselves, clearing their throat. Before with one swift movement, the pumpkin was turned around to show…

nothing.

"I am done." They cross their arms in front of their chest, "It's the sun."

Elora squints, "It's a pumpkin."

"Place a candle atop it and it shines like the sun. What you all staring at?"

"Are you afraid of the sun or what?" Lorna seems amused, dangling in her chair.

"It's bright." Sael adds to the conversation and Nulburnad looks at him for a moment, before he addresses the group again:

"Pah, we got two people scared of the light now, and once I thought I am crazy for being scared of the voiced in my head." Thamaya barks.

"You're still crazy, my dear." Lorna comments drily.

"Aww, you're adorable when you try to be mean." Thamaya grins.

Lorna just huffs in response.

"I am not afraid of him."

"Him?" Elora frowns, "You know the sun-?"

"You just said, it has to be a scary face." Lorna interrupts with a bored wave of her hand. "So that means Ralof thinks your face is scary and you are afraid of the sun. Simple."

"Ah, no I dont think them scary." Ralof shakes his head, "I actually think it's nice to look at-."

"That was the task Elora gave us, but…" Nulburnad seem to hesitate, staring at the empty pumpking for a moment, "I just didn't want to get my hands dirty."

An onset of groans and sighs went through the group.

"Does that mean I win?" Thamaya says with a sinister smile.

"We haven't seen Sael's yet." Aegon says, looking at the Saelethir, sitting quietly to his right.

"Sael, what did you do with the pumpkin?" Aegon asks him, propping his head onto his hand.

Sael seems to be looking into the room, seemingly surprised to being adressed, before he takes the pumpkin and turns it towards them. It was bank as well, just like Nulburnads, but his hands remained on its surface. Then he closed his eyes and his hands suddenly glow bright like the stars. That very moment, the pumpkin seems to grow, vines swirl out of the top of it and when it had doubled in size, he let go again.

Everyone blinks, baffled and amazed.

"That was sick." Lorna comments.

"Does that mean you can repair mine? Then I can take out its insides twice!" Thamaya says excitedly jumping up.

"Why not just use Nulburnads?" Lorna provides.

"Oh, no, no. I won't let you ruin another pumpkin." Elora was quick to snatch Nulburnads pumpkin away.

"Careful." Nulburnad says, as they watch Elora take their pumpkin. She frowns.

"Then let's place them all outside and wait til night to see them glow." Ralof exclaims. 

"Race you." Lorna says already up on her feet with her pumpkin, running down the hallway.

Ralof was quick to snatch his own, pushing the chair over as he stumbled after her.

"Don't ruin the rest of the decorations!" Elora shouts after them, but they were already gone. "Or the house for that matter."

"Told you." Nulburnad starts, "Festivities go up in flames more often than you think."

"I'm starting to see why."
