[Demo last major update: 28/06/23 |Case 01, Part 01]

[Stonefrey Moodboard]

Solutions : see below.

As a private detective, you were hired for a "simple" missing person's case.

You were supposed to investigate, find out and be done with it.

All was fine until, on a sleepless and cliché full-moon night, you stumbled upon a creature you've never expected to find. A monster worth anyone's worst nightmare. A monster holding the key to unravel the case you're investigating.

Your life has taken an unexpected turn after this discovery, how will you manage to face the reality that the supernatural exist after that ? And what will you do when it's revealed that the case is more complex than what you first thought ?

You can choose as you play :

Gender (male, female and non-binary option)(trans-friendly option available) ;

Pronounces (he, she, they, or you can personalize your pronouns);

Name, including aliases and nicknames ;

Background ;

Appearances (including complexion, hair, eye colour, height,...);

Reactions ;

Fears ;

Timed choices. You can toggle on a setting to allow you to see the timed choices ahead if you need more time to read. Toggling this on will allow you extended time.

Font appearance : the text is available in both : sans-serif fonts (by default), serif, and Open Dyslexic.

Font size : 80%, 100%, 130% and 150%, to make your reading experience as comfortable as can be.

You can toggle to read with the metric system (default) or use the imperial measurement system (feet).

Contains sound effect & background music (you can enable and disable the sound from the Settings, by gliding it all the way to the left).

There is a dark mode (by default), a sepia mode and a light mode available ;

Content for mature audiences can be toggled on and off as well. That will not remove the horror features though.

Trigger warnings are available at each chapter's screen. Or directly via the "Content Warning" link, from the menu;

Some Romantic Options are gender-selectable, as you play ;

You can choose to romance, date, only be involved physically or not at all with the RO. There are seven way you can interact with the RO : friendly, enemy, neutral, shy love, true love, enemy to lover, or simply lover/physical.

Poly route available between Yu and Mbaya. Officially unlockable past case 03. Don't panick before that.

Locked romance route—or no romance route—would be able to be selected past case 03. To give you the chance to meet all RO.

Extra story build in game, available past Case 03 here as well.

There are achievements.

To say Elias is a gruff person is to say the least. But you know he has some good will in him behind the non-bothered no nonsense act. He did act to save you, without asking anything in exchange. Though, if you would describe him, you would say he is more like a sulking teddy bear. Yeah, you should probably not say that to him. Elias is probably the only one you're quite certain— not certain, certain, but quite certain — is a human. You have your doubt for the rest of the team.

"If you think a day can't go shittier than it already is, be my guest."

Appearance : Human, or you can say super-human. 1.97m/6'46. Deep blue sea/cobalt blue eyes. Long white wavy hair (past shoulders). Tanned and weathered ivory skin. Athletic build with broad shoulders. 3 o clock shadows.

Has a 4 years old daughter.

[Moodboard]

How could you describe Anya ? Like the mist ? Always shrouded in mystery ? This is her. She is the incarnation of mystery. She told you she was 31 years old, but you don't really believe the woman. You think she can bewitch the whole city with her smirk, if it's not already the case. But that smirk she puts on her face makes you not trust her that much. Unless it's a question of life and death. Then, probably, you'll consider her help.

"Why work hard when you can work smart ?"

Appearance : A witch, most assuredly. 1.63m/5'34. Hazel eyes. Sultry black hair, mid-back length. Golden skin. Lithe built.

[Moodboard]

Miloslav [M] / Mishka [F] / Marcy [NB]

Sheppard seems to be directly in competition with Elias for the title of "Grumpy human of the year". Though, where Elias appears mostly unbothered in and for all, Sheppard just seems really on edge about everything. And tense. But you guess it's because of their taxing and demanding work. Or maybe they were just born edgy. It's almost as if their hackles were constantly raised. But they can be sweet. Somehow.

"Some people are looking for the meaning of life. I'm just looking for what "vacation" means and where I can find it."

Appearance : Not human... 1.78m/5'83. Forest green eyes. Curly auburn hair, cut short. Pale skin with freckles. Athletic build.

[Moodboard]

Have you already seen in the eyes of someone some age old lost wisdom ? Flowing like crystal clear water from a time where you weren't even born. Something worth admiring. This is what you can see in their eyes. Despite being a giant, they are a tranquil, very tranquil person. Now that you think about it, you've never seen them eat. Nor drink. This is suspicious.

"If someone points you the moon, don't stare at the finger."

Appearance : Surely not human. 2.06m/6'76. Sky blue eyes. Long coiled hair, dyed sandy blond (braided with gold thread). Chocolate brown skin. Lithe build. Nose septum piercing.

[Moodboard]

Yu is, like, the opposite of Mbaya, whilst being almost similar. In front of you stand something from a past long gone. But, instead of tranquility, Yu is a bubbly person. Almost too bubbly. And you're almost sure that they own at least half the club and bar of Stonefrey. If not more. Something about the way they move, silently, and almost feline-like, makes you doubt they are human.

"I'm not saying I don't care. I'm just saying that, if the whole city was about to burn down, I'll still take the time to appreciate my glass of whiskey."

Appearance : Definitely not human. 1.65m/5'61. Black eyes. Dark brown hair (Yi-seo: Shoulder length hair/Yunsu : Ivy league crew cut). Olive skin. Muscular build.

[Moodboard]

Well. If you could say a word about Owl, you would say that they are dramatic. And fanciful. And they have a flourish for snarking remarks, and seem to have an ego as big as their wardrobe probably is. But what you would say the most is that they are wearing their name well. Owl, for their knowledge. That you could use. If they were on your side, that is, and totally not a wild card.

"Everyone is such a bore in this city. Well, so long as you owe me — I mean, pay me. And entertain me. Surely this can work, Love."

Appearance : You're not sure. 1.79m/5'9. Verdigris-colored eyes. Wavy platinium blond hair (F. : Chin-length plunging square cut/M. : Styled curtain hairstyle). Fair and flawless skin.

[Moodboard]

You have met a nightmarish creature, will probably meet vampire, and werewolves — oh, you've met a witch as well. So now, here they are, an elf. Yes, an Elf. Like in Lord of the Things. In the city. With sunglasses. And their impassible way. Iolrath, child of Rivaran and Iltheruyn, they told you, as they were looking around at "mortals and their ways". Nice.

"Why must I say something ? Isn't silence acceptable in a discussion ?"

Appearance : It's very obviously an elf. 1.82m/6'0. Violet eyes. Long silver hair (reach mid-tight ). Shimmery skin. Elvish build of fairness. Obvious pointed ears.

[Moodboard]

What is most important is your mental health. This story can deal with heavy themes, and the list will be updated along with the content. If you feel unwell, I'll advise you to stop reading and take a rest. Taking care of you comes first. Reach out to professional if need be.

You can find the content warning here and the side bar, directly in game.

Blood

Body horror

Cannibalism (mention only)

Death and depiction of death (yours as well as others)

Drowning

Gore

Gun and use of gun

Recreational drug and/or alcohol use

Partial nudity and/or nudity

The story, all names, characters, locations and incidents portrayed in this production are fictitious. No identification with actual persons (living or deceased), places, buildings, and products is intended or should be inferred.

𝐁𝐞𝐯 has 𝟷 brown eye & 𝟷 hazel eye

They try their best to lock away negative emotions ... to totally deal with "later"

Their medication is prescribed for their depression & panic disorder

𝐁𝐞𝐯 is the eldest of 𝟺 (by 𝟽 years for their brother & 𝟷𝟸 for their twin sisters), because of their experience growing up somewhat responsible for their siblings, they're good at handling kids (& even enjoy being around them)

They drive a Ford Maverick truck

Prompt 110

Duke is kind of confused. Scratch that he’s very confused. And concerned. More concerned than confused actually. Like Bruce is back from apparently being lost in time, sweet! That’s great!

But uh, should he be concerned about the several ghost children now following him around? Should he mention it? Bruce has to know, right? Like he’s half certain that one just picked up a book right in front of him and dropped it in his lap, so Bruce isn’t oblivious right?

#dcxdp #dpxdc #prompts #Batman gives off such dad vibes that several ghost children followed him back home #This includes several of Danny's rogues eventually #Word spreads from one ghostling to the next about the nice mortal knight who has a very safe and warded home #Eventually they approach as well #Might even ask if he could adopt this sick halfling whose parents keep shooting at him #The JL do not want to ask #But they keep seeing dozens of eyes peering from his cloak #and it's concerning

I wish you all the best for this new year !

I take this time to keep you informed about The Ward's Eyes~

First of all, yes, this issues : The keywords system 🥲

I will patch this up, and hopefully, for the next up-date (because there will be a next update 😌) you will not shed tears of blood whilst playing 🥹

[And no, I will not remove this system simply because it will help in choice to make 🙄, especially during conversation, and I have crazy interactions ideas 😂].

And I heard you, my sweet sweet readers, I will put some more work into the clues system so that you will be able to navigate this better and not being lost 😌

Besides, I will do my best to release solution to the keywords next to stories update, both on Tumblr and the Development Log directly on the game page 😉

I'm sure you all noticed, in the navigation menu, next to Credit, something called "💎 Extra"

No, Gustav, keep your credit card in your wallet 😂

It's Extra, not because it will be paid content, but because it's extra stories : POV, glimpse into some characters's, thoughts…

It will be unlocked as you play, and your relationship with said character : The closer you are, the more stories you unlock 🤗

I wanted to keep it in the game so that it will be personnalized, with your detective name's and all 🌼

I have started to write some of this stories, but, as things stands, those extra stories are too shy to make an appearance yet. You will, of course, be kept updated once the system is ready !

Well, I have to say, I had a little writer's block. A tiny one. So tiny. [No, I'm guilty as charged, I confess 🙈]

But now it's over 🥳

So I'm rewriting ✒

And correcting. With the help of your reports ! (I cry and cringe a little when I see the mistakes you spotted 😂 I'm like : "There's no way I wrote that !" "Was I drunk ?" 😱)

Thank you all for taking the time of writting them 🥹🩵

I was thinking about making a small update with only the grammar corrections and keywords system update, but… nah, I'd rather you have a notification telling you you can now finish case 01 and begin case 02, so the next update will be a big update.

Besides, I have some rewritting to do (minor, minor rewritting, the story is the same, I swear 🌼)

I'm writting, writting, and I will threaten nicely ask my friends to proof read so that you will have something as polished as can be once it's done 🌞

[And I will be able to remove this "On hiatus" notice then 😂]

I think I will try to ready it by February or something ? 🤔

Anyway, I'm still active on Tumblr, if you have any question !

Take much care of you 😘

Warmly,

P.S. : Happy New Year to you Anon 😌🥂
