GET INTO IT (YUH)!

THE SATYA SOCIETY is my current project, a slice-of-life visual novel that will be free-to-play, with an optional paid version for extra romance routes available. This is a long-drawn process that I’m excited to share with you all, but to do so, I’ll need you to bear with me! The actual VN will be published through @studioduchess , but since this is my project, this blog is mine to share progress and hopefully gain some interest.

PREMISE?—

Stonewell Academy for Troubled Youth and Adolescence (SATYA) is an off-the-grid reformative boarding school for students from middle school all the way through to college. You are Stonewells newest addition, a 14-year-old ‘delinquent’ that will traverse your way through reform school life for the foreseeable future. As Stonewell ages, so do you — and you find yourself making friends (and enemies) that could last a lifetime. Let Stonewell reform your ways, or rebel alongside your friends and make memories none could forget— if you’re lucky, you may even grow close enough with our cast to form your own secret society…

WHY SHOULD I SUPPORT YOU?—

Because I am a lonesome girl writing a whole ass visual novel while her gap year gives her the free time. Obviously you have every right to scroll past me, but any support genuinely means a lot to me. Likes, reblogs and follows motivate me beyond belief, and I promise I can bring something to you worth following for. I am not asking for financial help yet, I wouldn’t ask for money from anyone without giving them something in return. Until I can provide more of a structured advertisement, all expenses will be paid by yours truly. *crying eyes*

WHERES OUR STEAMY ROMANCE?!?!???—

It is here, my darling dearest. The SATYA Society is rated 17+ for skippable suggestive/sexual scenes later on when everyone is of age. In the free version, you have 2 main romances you can pursue, one male and one female. With the paid version, your romantic interests jump from 2 to 7, with 2 polyamorous routes available within the cast. No romance paths are gender-locked, but some RO’s do have preferences, and will be easier to romance as certain genders. You can set how comfortable you are with physical affection, as well, which will stop/encourage characters to hug, kiss you etc.

HOW CUSTOMISABLE ARE WE?—

I’m gonna be honest, I was definitely thinking of gender-locking your character to make things (a lot) easier for me, and I’m still considering it. But for now, your name, gender and sexuality are completely customisable. You can customise your appearance, personality and even personalise your background before coming to Stonewell Academy. Your family is prewritten and can’t be changed, but you can decide your relationship with them, alongside everyone at the school. My goal with this book was to give y’all great replay value, and I believe I’ve done just that. You can experience two completely different stories with each play through.

HOW MUCH HAVE YOU EVEN DONE, YOU SEEM LIKE A DISORGANISED PRICK—

First of all, that’s rude. But I’ve almost finished writing everything. My next step after finishing the writing is to get the cast drawn (I’m adept in my art but honestly if I can afford it I’ll commission someone), get the story coded and put it all together to release. This will take a hell of a while, so don’t get too excited, haha.

WHO ARE YOU?—

I’m Christina :) I’ve been writing since I was 14, and loving visual novels and interactive fiction since 15. I’ve just graduated from high school last year, and am taking a gap year before going off to college. I won’t admit that I used to write fanfiction, and may or may not have gained a real following writing smut on tumblr LMAO… regardless though, I’m really passionate about storytelling, and have some real cool ideas to share.

CAN I ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT _______???—

Yes. Please please do, I want to share this with you as I write, I promise I’m nice LMAO

ROMANCE CAST!—

FREE VERSION:

Isaac Spence is your main male romance option. He is the glistening sun, as some would say— bright and gorgeous, tall and warm. Isaac is your typical boy-next-door, always on his best behaviour, kind and welcoming towards most, it makes you wonder what he did to get himself sent out to a reform school. If you play as a male, Isaac will be your roommate! In the first act, and half of the second act, Isaac is dating Courtney Knight, who just so happens to be your other main romance option… 👀

*Full character profile coming

Courtney Knight is not the girl next door. She is an aspiring clothing designer who is just about as entitled as they come. She manages to keep a close group of friends, however, so there must be more to her than just a catty somebody. Courtney expresses her love teasingly, rather than warmly like Isaac. (Maybe that’s why they don’t work out, haha). She is strong willed and very much an independent woman— sure, it takes a while to gain her trust, but you might have a valuable relationship with Courtney if you try hard enough. If you play as a female, Courtney is your roommate! In the first act, and half of the second act, she is dating Isaac Spence.

*Full character profile coming

PAID VERSION:

Mary DeSmidt is quiet and inconsolable. Rumours float around the school about how such a sweet girl could get sent to the strictest standing reform school. She is the embodiment of kindness, and always willing to lend a helping hand to you. Mary is driven by emotions, and needs a bit more time than others to handle to growing change of life at a boarding school. She also takes a little more guidance when it comes to feelings, and has a more complex romance path than the others.

*Full character profile coming

Harper Vale is… a mayfly. He knows everything about everyone, floats between all the social groups at Stonewell Academy and still somehow doesn’t have a best friend. Courtney tells you he is a compulsive liar, and is trying to ‘manipulate the faculty out of a full ride at Stonewell’, which explains the perfect grades and attendance rates… Harpers romance path is…shaky, to put it nicely.

*Full character profile coming

Coen Day is hard to get to know. They’re always going off on their own, disappearing in the middle of class, not returning until night. Apparently their attendance rates are in the red, but Coen has always been known to run. Coen is quiet, sure, but they’re also loyal and smart. They would never share a secret of yours, or undermine your experiences and aspirations. Befriending Coen is a feat in itself, but one worth doing— Coen is the type of friend one needs at Stonewell. Coen is also asexual.

*Full character profile coming

Priya Hammond is a burning fire, scorching everything in her path. She is loud, capable and Courtney’s all time best friend. Priya has been sent to detention for questioning a teacher’s moral standpoint more times than once, and is very politically inclined. She is truly gifted with her brains, but would much rather search the depths of the internet for trivial facts about a small town in Europe than study for school a moment longer than she has to. Bring up any topic around her, she will know something about it.

*Full character profile coming

Laiken Allard-Rose arrives in the second act, and is Isaac’s childhood best friend. He is energy personified, always looking for an adventure to drag you along or a joke to crack at just the wrong time. Nothing is too daring for Laiken, and you’ll find that forming a friendship with him definitely includes him arriving at your window in the middle of the night to go on an adventure (raiding the school kitchens). Family is the most important thing to Laiken, and will do anything for you once you’re considered his family, whether romantically or platonically. ( i would play his romance route just to experience the dates he would take you on lol)

*Full character profile coming

POLYAMOROUS ROUTES:

* these characters can be romance together or apart.

Laiken & Isaac. Who knew the childhood best friends that may have had heavy crushes on each other growing up would end up romantically inclined… dates with these two are a festival of laughter and love. Isaacs warm presence and Laikens exciting romantic inclination is the perfect combination, and I’m sure the boys could show enough love to you for a lifetime more.

Priya & Coen. These personalities somehow work perfectly when it comes to love. Priya and Coen can be romanced together to create the ultimate game night team… their smarts, Priya’s competitive nature and Coen’s strategical thinking?? Automatic win.

Dusk Till Dawn is an interactive novel set in the modern world with an MC that is a little out of place. Will you find your own place in a world so foreign to you? Or will you crumble to dust?

Genre(s): Low-Fantasy, Mystery, Thriller, Romance, and Action.

Setting: Washington, D.C.

Warning(s): This story is rated 18+ for depictions of death, blood, gore, strong language, alcohol consumption, sexual themes, violence, and horrible vampire puns.

Scenario and NSFW asks are more than welcome (within reason)!

The Impaler

The Count

Dracula

Those were the names that were given to you through the ages; mortals laying claim to something that would long outlive them.

The stories, myths, and legends hanging over you like an ever-present cloud— whether they were based on fact or not didn’t matter— as the centuries passed you by. Empires rising and falling like the evening tide before your eyes.

You don’t know the exact event that caused your long rest— you didn’t truly need to— but the boredom that the mortal world brought weighed on your shoulders like the heaviest of objects.

So, you closed your eyes and drifted away; allowing your body to lull itself into a false sense of serenity.

You just weren’t expecting the next time you opened them that you’d be in an entirely foreign place; new smells assaulting your senses that you’ve never encountered before.

All but one that is…

Blood.

However, when you went to investigate— trying to ignore the strangeness of your surroundings— you’re assaulted by a scene you weren’t expecting; a mutilated corpse lay mere feet from you, that didn’t truly phase you, but the odd object pointed directly at your chest and the shout of ‘police’ was certainly quite peculiar.

What have you gotten yourself into now?

Customizable MC: name, appearance, gender, sexuality, bits and pieces of your background, hobbies, and more!

Romance 1 of 5 possible options! That’ll hopefully make your new life a bit more bearable.

Play as a displaced Dracula that doesn’t know what in the hell is going on. Who’s also found themselves as the prime suspect in a murder investigation. Welcome to the 21st Century?

Will you accept these new objects that mortals seem to be so fond of? What is a cellphone? And why does someone want you to call them later?

Adopt a pet to make things a bit easier for your poor self; they’re something that’s familiar at least.

Make sure that you don’t go too long without feeding and, depending on how you do it, don’t get caught.

Find out what the world has now spun your legend as and what they’ve made your kind out to be. What in the absolute hell is Twilight?

Figure out who killed the victim; either because you want to see justice be served or to save your own ass or something in the middle. Choice is yours…

The world may not be ready for Count Dracula to be back but are you ready for what the world is now too?

Victor/Victoria Helsing - The Detective

33 [6’0” | Gray Eyes | Dark Brown Hair]

The individual that arrested you in the first place— despite your protests— and who holds a shocking resemblance to a man you once knew; annoying as his attempts at killing you might have been. Of course, you can’t truly blame the steely eyed detective for arresting you— after all you were near a dead body— but did they have to be so skeptical to your explanations?

Flynn/Felicity Palmer - The Doctor

33 [5’6” | Hazel Eyes | Strawberry Blonde Hair]

You don’t think you’ve ever seen a mortal so obsessed with death before— the good doctor notwithstanding— and you especially weren’t expecting the clinical way in which they operated. Confidence exuding from their form as they speak about the scientific facts of the situation but the moment it becomes personal? They remind you of a turtle with how quickly they retreat back into their shell.

Tyler/Taylor Kendrick - The Curator

34 [5’8” | Dark Brown Eyes | Onyx Black Hair]

The one in charge of the exhibit that you had woken up in; an individual that seems fascinated with the tales that you tell about your past. Even if they don’t truly believe you’re telling the truth the honest inquires and open questions give you a semblance of an idea that they wish to believe; the pursuit of knowledge is never truly over after all.

Adrian/Ariana Shaw - The Neighbor

30 [5’11” | Green Eyes | Golden-Brown Hair]

Upon moving into your new apartment— a bit of a downgrade from your castle— they’ve been a constant source of help whenever you can’t quite figure out how a new appliance works. With a cheerful disposition, horrible puns, and an all around helpful attitude, you knew that you’d be seeing a lot more of them. Maybe it’ll turn into something more?

Damon/Diana Walker - The Old Friend

32 [6’5” | Steel Blue Eyes | Raven Black Hair]

Someone you haven’t seen in quite some time. Who’s seemed to finally come into their own; from someone who used to trip over their words to a flirtatious heartbreaker. You can’t help but notice, however, whenever you get near they seem to stumble back into their old role. Their words coming out with less suaveness and more quite nerves; you haven’t the slightest inclination why but maybe you’ll figure it out as you get to know them once more.

SYNOPSIS.

you've never been in a successful relationship, but that didn't stop you from making a blog to answer people's questions and concerns about love. when you first started you didn't expect to get as big as you did and you definitely didn't expect for one of the world's biggest media companies—VW Media—to offer you your own podcast. the only downside is you have to compete with sabrina gray to get it. the competition lasts two months and within those months the person who gets the most engagement and positive feedback will work with VW Media. hopefully, you can juggle your new found love life while also helping strangers with theirs.

FEATURES.

pursue a relationship with 1 of 4 characters, 2 gender locked and 2 gender selectable between male or female.

grow your popularity as a love "expert".

choose what makes amorist, amorist. are you blunt, kind, or is your advice more on the cryptic side?

compete to get your own podcast sponsored by one of the biggest media companies in the world.

more to be added as the game is developed

THE ROs.

♡┊Isabel/Isaiah Cardonas [F/M]

isa has been your best friend for over a decade, despite your lack of communication. recently they've decided to move in with you, which you can't decide is a good or bad thing. your relationship has been bordering between friendship and something a little more romantic since you graduated high school. though, it's hard to tell what isa means when all they do is flirt with you.

♡┊Ezekiel Wilson [M]

ezekiel is the competition's advisor—in fact, he's the reason for it to begin with. from what you've heard about him, he's a blunt, easily annoyed jerk. however, you can't always believe what the internet says. since the first time you met, ezekiel has been nothing but sweet to you. he seems like the total opposite of what everyone says.

♡┊Kara/Kade Hyun [F/M]

k, the brains behind the amorist website. they also happen to be one of your closest friends—which thank god, because you don't even want to think about how terrible you site would've been. when you first met them, you'll be honest, you thought k was a major jerk. turns out you couldn't have been more wrong, they're probably the nicest person in the world. and you have a lot to thank them for, especially after they agreed to date you—fake date you.

♡┊Sabrina Gray [F]

for as long as you can remember, sabrina has one-upped you in almost every activity you've expressed interest in. the most recent one being advice giving—specifically love related. well, she hasn't one-upped you, yet. you two have the same amount of followers, which is why she just so happens to be your competitor. maybe being forced to officially compete with her will give you the chance to figure out why she insists on being better than you.

You and your new teammates are aiming to restore Woodward's reputation by trying to make it to the championships. Will Woodward emmerge from the shadows of its former glory? Amongst it all will you find love and friendship? Most importantly will you be able to make a name for yourself and leave your mark on the realm of volleyball or will you keep riding the coat tails of your father's vanishing legacy?

Make Our Days Count is a slice of life sports romance IF that follows your 19 year old MC as they go through the ups and downs of their university life and of being part of the volleyball team. MODC is aimed for a 16+ audience and will be predominantly a character-driven game. It will tackle some slightly dark themes, but I'm aiming for it to be a light hearted read for the most part. Some of the themes in MODC will include found family, friendship, love, second chances and finding ones' self.

*This game is still in very, very early stages of development. This is my first time writing or coding anything, so please be patient with me. I'm doing this for fun and don't want to put any pressure on myself,as such demo will be a long way off.

Customise your MC, including their appearance, personality, sexuality and gender.

Experience university life and attempt to keep a balance between your studies and volleyball.

Get to know your team, make new friends and maintain your relationship with your family and friends (or don't).

Romance one of the 4 ROs, including your ex, your high-school rival, the team manager and the vice-captain. (all of the ROs are people of colour and you're free to imagine them as you wish, but all I ask of you guys is to not white wash them. A skin tone chart will be linked in the navigation post for reference).

Play as the Libero in a mixed volleyball team.

Play matches alongside your team throughout the academic year.
