I Love The Update! My Favorite Has To Be My Lovley Margaret. Is There Something About The RO's That,

I love the update! My favorite has to be my lovley Margaret. Is there something about the RO's that, if the PC found out, they would be embarrassed?

I am so glad that you loved Margaret! She needs some love!

💛 Marcel

Marcel might be ashamed of so many things from his past, but not his hobbies. He would want to introduce you to bird watching and reading, something he enjoys a great deal, and while he might be a tiny bit worried you'll find him boring, he would understand if it wasn't your thing. 

🧡 Margaret

I can see her being a little embarrassed about her inexperience with relationships. She is so new to everything and would be so worried about ruining it for the both of you if you were in a relationship. 

❤️ Owen

This one is a little harder for me, like Marcel. I would say that Owen is ashamed of a lot of things, but I think he doesn’t get embarrassed about anything that has happened in his past, hobbies, or even embarrassing moments. I could honestly just see him shrugging at you when you questioned him about something embarrassing he did and be like,

"Yeah? And?" 

💙 Rosemary

No. Rosemary is very in tune with herself and doesn't get embarrassed by much, but she does have a soft spot in her heart for romance and cheesy things that I could see her getting a little defensive about. 

🩵 Tai

Yes, but it would be in a very angry tone. Tai definitely keeps things close to his chest, like his love for cooking and western movies, so I imagine if you were to ask him about it, he would get angry until he realized that you were just curious, which he would force himself to apologize to you.  Although if you looked interested, he might cook for you or drop a western movie for you to watch. to bond with you.

💚 Zane

Yes! He does have his guilty pleasures; one that your character will be introduced to is that he loves kid cartoons. Which is very cute until he starts yelling at the TV to make the characters fight each other. He will be embarrassed when you find out in the main story. 

Holy shit I almost had a heart attack when I started the demo because I used to live in Spookytown, Massachusetts right by a 1/2 Buffum Street house. I guess I'm fated to love your story!

I hope I didn't scare you too badly. I honestly just used random street names, but maybe it is fate! I am glad that you enjoyed my work!

Congratulations, you got engaged. Whether that is good or bad is ultimately up to you.

Shortly after your engagement, your fiancé sets out on a journey to the distant lands of Transylvania, a real estate opportunity that proved too irresistible to decline.

With your wedding temporarily on hold, you don't hesitate to respond when your childhood friend Lucy implores you to pay her a visit, seeking your company and counsel with an urgent matter concerning her very own future.

The strangeness begins as you arrive in Whitby, a charming coastal town where the Westenra's estate resides.

🩸There will be four romance options for you to choose.🩸

Jonathan Harker (M): Your sweet fiance who is currently in a land far away from that of your own.

Dr. Abraham Van Helsing (M): An experienced and knowledgeable Dutch doctor with a wide range of expertise.

Dracula 🦇 (M/F): A mysterious and charismatic Transylvanian noble with dark secrets.

Ahhhhhh! The pregnancy reaction was so cute!!!!! RO's reaction to MC wanting many children with them?

Thank you so much!

💛 Marcel:

in head: Oh my God I am in love with this woman/person/man.

"Yes, dear~"

🧡 Margaret:

"Yes! Yes!" Throws her arms around you. "You made me the most happiest girl in the world!"

❤️ Owen:

Raises an eyebrow. "Are you joking? No? Alright, now or later?"

💙 Rosemary:

Horrified look on her face. Her maximum number of kids would be 2 if she had to carry them. 4 If you were carrying them, surrogate, or adoption.

"We can talk about it."

🩵 Tai:

*brain stops working*

A whole hour later.....

"Yeah....I can make that work..."

💚 Zane:

Frowns. "Why?" You explain, and Zane just shrugs and pushes you on the bed.

"What? We better have fun while we can before we become parents, and we are too tired all the time."

This Insidious Dawn is a dark fantasy IF wherein you play as a vampire, employed under the clandestine League of the Third God to hunt down anything -- everything - that does not belong in this world. But you do not belong here either, Warden. Demo tba.

☼ SYNOPSIS

The League saved you. Rewrote your life- gave you a chance to be more than a bloodstarved vampyr. Or did they?

You remember nothing of your past before the League; nothing but blood and indescribable agony, nothing but the thrumming of your heart stilling- and then beginning again, stilted and wrong. That was over a decade ago, the memories now faint and the connection quivering. They've been replaced, overwritten by years of blades clashing, body aches, and hollow hunger.

You started out weak. Starving, skin-and-bones, desperate for any reprieve you could get your hands on. Now, you're strong, each hunt -- each cut - giving you just enough energy to keep your worn body going. Some people would call it cruel, to keep a sentient being on the edge of death. Most people, though, would say that you're a vampire, so you hardly count as sentient.

Regardless of the morality of it, the method was effective. You were one of -- no, the most - efficient Warden the League had to offer.

And then a hunt went wrong. And now you're dead. But- a vampire (no, not a vampire; a vampyr) can never truly die. So you're back. But is it really you?

☼ FEATURES

↠ Customize your Warden. Appearance, gender, pronouns, and personality are all up to your choices as the player.

↠ This is a psychological horror first and foremost. It will have themes of dehumanization and derealization, amongst others. CWs will be offered.

↠ A character-driven plot where your choices impact the story.

↠ A cast of four consisting of The Acolyte, The Commander, The Savior, and The Forgotten, any of which you can optionally romance no matter your Warden's gender.

☼ CAST

↠ THE ACOLYTE

As with any vampire, you are accompanied by an acolyte to keep you in check and ensure that your hunts go well- as well as to mend any Gorges that riftspawn might crawl out of. Constantine Nimecidus fills this role, in your case (ae/aer). Ae is sharp-tongued, with a chronic lack of patience towards the people and world around aer, and can come across as snappy or rude. In other instances still, aer sarcastic, dry, and often untimely humor can offer a quick relief from the tension of any situation- or make it several times worse. Despite aer casual, laidback nature in the face of most events, ae places utmost importance on aer job, and quickly becomes intense whenever ae feels as if ae or aer position are being in any way threatened. You've spent years going on hunts with aer at this point, but the connection has never transcended the necessary 'I save you, you save me' exchange. Ae seems wary of you.

Constantine is a bit shorter than most, standing at 5'3. Ae has broad shoulders and hips, and is thickset with both muscle and fat. Aer amber skin is dappled with symmetrical pale patches, especially prevalent around aer eyes and mouth, and the lack of pigmentation has bled into aer hair in some spots, giving the dark auburn eye-catching streaks of white. Said hair is curly and cut shorter along the sides than the back is, and ae spends an awful lot of time preening it. Aer eyes are a striking, slightly luminescent bronze, and aer pupils appear instead of black as molten gold, shifting slightly in color to match aer emotions at any given moment. Ae has full lips and slightly upturned, monolid eyes. Ae favors shades of brown, tan, and orange in aer outfit, and ae near-constantly dons a rich red capelet with fur trimming around the hood.

↠ THE COMMANDER

Ex-commander of the Serpent's Guard-turned vampire. You'd personally never had a run-in with Alvaros Vepir until just recently (he/him). He's gruff, jaded, and withdrawn- exactly what you'd expect out of the man who gave his life for his queen only to nearly die (again) for it. It's hard to say, though, how much of his time as the commander he truly remembers. Alvaros is a poet's dream, the hero in an epic-turned-tragedy. He keeps everybody at arm's length, never allowing them to learn more than what the stories and theatrics tell of him. This is especially true of you- the vampire who was sent to reign him in, turn him from a rogue vampyr into a soldier of the League. Despite his emotional avoidance of you, though, he seems quite interested in you. Maybe it's the fact you're one of the few to have bested him in combat. Maybe it's just that 'vampiric charm' that old legends tell about (but that never seems to work outside of fights). Maybe it's because he remembers you.

Alvaros is intimidating in every manner. He stands at 6'4, his whole body is lean and scarred, and the black sclerae encircling dark green irises certainly does him no favors in lessening the effect. Before you were dispatched to retrieve him, you couldn't have said what he looked like; as the commander, he'd worn the veil regular of high-ranking members of the Serpent's Ring, leaving nothing but the back of his head exposed. Now, you know of his face well enough that you could probably recognize him in a crowd. With fawn skin dotted by freckles, hooded eyes, and a distinctive hooked nose, Alvaros is exactly what one would expect of a native of southern Ghel- save for his hair. Instead of the expected brown or black, his hair is a muddy blonde, and it has slight waves that turn into full curls at the tips. He maintains it short, never reaching past his chin. His face is scarred (his everything is, really), with a particularly nasty gash reaching from his left eyebrow down to his right jaw. It just barely misses his right eye.

↠ THE SAVIOR

An acolyte? You think so, anyways. Suri Revlece is the woman who saved you (she/her). You don't know whether or not she's even with the League, but she certainly looks like an acolyte. You don't know what she was doing there, either, but she seems willing to answer any of your questions while you recover- as long as they aren't personal. She's kind enough, but seems a little...off. She's finicky, always looking over her shoulder. She's running from something, but she doesn't seem to know what. She appears to believe that she and you have some type of camaraderie, although you've never met. But there's something to be said for the sheer strength of her magic- you've never seen an acolyte's shimmer burn a riftspawn like that. Never seen one with an eye glowing that bright, either. She's an anomaly- one that you're sure the headman at your partner's spire would be more than glad to have amongst their ranks, but then the mere idea of it had her denying it with vehemence. It seems like she has a history with it.

Suri has a mesmerizing look to her. The deep brown of her skin, near-black of her hair, and dark garb are contrasted with bright pops of color. One eye is a brightly glowing orange, the pupil nearly white, and the other is a misty grey, its almond shape deformed by the burn scars warping the left side of her face. That dark hair, braided and reaching down to about her hips, is decorated by light brown and gold beads engraved with runes that seem to serve to channel her magic. Her frame is lanky and she's long-limbed, reaching just above what most would think of as an 'average height', at 5'8. Below a brown leather cloak, more runed jewelry decorates her wrists and fingers, and her hands are tattooed in shades of bronze. The burn upon her face is not the only such injury she has suffered; her palms are burnt the slightest bit, and similar scars wrap around her arms. She has a broad nose and thick heart-shaped lips, and light stubble sits above the top lip.

↠ THE FORGOTTEN

You don't know who they are anymore. Who are they? (he/they/she)

A shadowy form, the silhouette of a memory. There's something not quite right about them. What have they become?

Thank you so much @elegantunknownphantom for the shout out! ❤️😘 I am glad you enjoyed reading My Inner Sins!!!!

Appreciation Post + Needing your input!

We appreciate the love you are sending our way for this project. At the beginning of it, my wife and I talked about it into details about what we wanted from it and how we knew we might just not have any sort of success whether that meant financially, critically, or socially. We wondered if this project would be something we could find ourselves doing in the long term, if it was something we could see ourselves doing full-time, and if it was something that would be genuinely appreciated.

And for that last part, I say it's a success! You guys really love this game!

For this, we thank you all for following our little project that we hope can make you happy.

But also! Let's give back to this community! This blog has amassed quite the follower count, meaning we can reach possibly many people on the Tumblr side of things. And so, now I am asking for your help:

Please send us interactive fiction projects that are either ongoing/completed/unfinished! Give us a quick rundown on it and why you would want to see other people play it! There are many games out there that many people might be interested in!

This can be done through sending us an ask (public or anonymous), tagging us in a post, add a comment on this post, or reblogging this post.

Anyways thank you for your participation if you opt to! Thank you everyone for following this project, and thank you for everyone who opts to help us in this little shenanigan to help people connect to new or old games to look at :)
