The MC is Leo's biggest bully and they met yesterday.

Built as the residential space of those who originally founded the town, The Cornerstones has remained the occupancy of the more influential and affluent members of Wayhaven.
Not only do the houses here stand out for their size and grandeur, but also for their uniqueness against the rest of the town's architecture—formed mostly from the skeletons of the redbrick warehouses that played a key role in the function of the busy docks.
The set of large ornate iron gates that lead into this section of town remain open and have almost seemed to rust into place, but the distinction between this area of Wayhaven and the rest is obvious enough without the need of closed gates to cement it.

Nothing comes without a price. 
That is the fundamental rule of the cosmos, from its creation to its eventual demise.  
Every decision ripples through eternity, and a price must be paid for each.
Those who can see through the sands of time know this better than most - but mortals, sad little creatures, will never see the forest for the trees.
When the time comes to pay the price, it's always too late.
Old Yaga, once a wise soothsayer, has seen this repeatedly through her fleshless, diamond-made eyes, which allow her to glimpse through the veil of time and space. 
Are they a boon, a mystical gift bestowed upon her for services rendered to forces unknown?
Or perhaps, they serve as a reminder of a price too great to pay.
Nowadays, she has turned her gaze toward the flow of coins, the only currency she trusts.
Her fortunes have changed, and she wonders if past settled fates can be re-negotiated.
However, the question remains:
Will she be willing to pay the price?

The Beach That Makes You Old by a.c.d
an interactive fiction game about the titular "care" facility and the patients/prisoners within. You play as someone on the outside who gets contacted by someone on the inside. You learn, you listen, you go through bureaucratic nonsense. It's gotta end eventually, right?
free-in-browser or $8 to download! play time is about 45 minutes and a full list of content warnings available in the game
i've been working on this for a few months now and it has a lot of my feelings about psych institutionalization, interacting with medical care as a disabled person, and how the fact that my body doesn't work isn't a moral failing
|| PLAY HERE ||
Credits:
Written and developed by: a.c.d
Cover designed by: a.c.d
Edited by: a.c.d with help from Darwin, Levi, Jeannette C, and nico :)
Background images take from: David Rumsey Map Collection, David Rumsey Map Center, Stanford Libraries
Title taken from jokes about the movie Old (2021) dir. M. Night Shyamalan, specifically this tweet
Joke that inspired me to make that the title of the game and name of the institution depicted made by my partner as they took me to a very scary doctor's appointment

E N T E R T H E L A B Y R I N T H
In the Labyrinth, they talk of gods.
They whisper between their fingers and sweeten their breath with the tales of titans of old who once stood so tall that a single breath would cause earth-tremors, their steps reshaping the ground trod beneath them. Their fingers were the tools that smoothed the mountains into points, shaped and carved the ridges and valleys in between. If you hike far enough, one woman claims, if you travel to a point where the oxygen is thin and your vision blacks, you can make out a partial print against the mountainside. You can run your own fingers along its length and still feel the titan’s warmth as if his palm were pressed right against yours.
The woman says, It is a thing of worship. It is a thing of devotion.
In the Labyrinth, they ask you to make you make your body anew before the King of the High Hills. They say that you are alive because you must suffer for the life and love of the Lord, that you must open your body and let him lick along your flesh so that he may taste the endlessness of his perpetual reign.
In the Labyrinth, there is no escape from his touch.
Tumblr media
“You have a heavy burden upon you,” the headmaster was saying, teeth and eyes all a glitter under the amber cast candles. “I am not unsympathetic to the arduous path ahead of you—but please understand that this suffering must be experienced for the longevity of the king, for the beautiful life ahead of him. Only he is the one who can shed mortality and raise to the gods, because he is the only one strong enough, courageous enough, to count the cost of living forever. You must succeed where others have failed. You, this class, this is our last chance to mend what has been made broken. You must. You must.”
The Mouths of Elysium is a dark-academia fantasy created with Twine where your choices matter to the story. You live inside the Labyrinth, a maze that hates to become known with walls and paths that change every hour. The center of the Labyrinth sits a university that has been there since the beginning of time; its only purpose is to recruit students who can solve the puzzle of life, who can create an elixir that would allow the King of the High Hills to live past the length of forever. Failure means a fate worse than death.
You are one of those students.
Tumblr media
Althea Callaghan - You know her in death. She has been the taste of rot against your tongue, the anger and hurt in your palms. You see the nice, beautiful lines of her teeth and become a creature of grief unfolding unto yourself. Debase yourself with the fervent want of her. Bend at your waist and beg for forgiveness.
You hate her. You want to watch her bleed. She feels the exact same about you, but what she doesn't know is that every waking moment of your life is dedicated to her.
The Princess/Prince - The forgotten child of the throne. The 405th child of His glorious reign. Divinity runs through their veins, the heir to so much power, but they will never see themselves rule the unforgiving landscape of the Labyrinth. Their fate is to die and be buried amongst the endless graves of their dead brothers and sisters. They must do this so the King may live forever.
Tumblr media
A fully customizable MC including gender, appearance, and sexuality
A landscape of horror. A landscape that hates you and everyone who might try to understand it. Go beyond the walls and be witness to a reality worse than death
Key choices that will influence your game and experience. Will you succeed or fail?
Learn what it means to be forgiven. Learn what it means to suffer. Become devotion. Become loyalty. Make your body anew before the King of the High Hills
DEMO : TBA (coming soon)

Progress update
I’m catching up on my schedule after life happened again this month. Since I’m getting back on track, I can almost certainly promise that the next Patreon demo update will be released in April.
As for other Patreon updates: Just yesterday I released Quinn’s interactive bondage smut, and this month’s chosen smut RO is (spoiler:) Cernunnos who will be inspecting your puny mortal body.
Thank you so much for your cheers, reblogs, and other forms of support! ✨💛✨

Hey, can i ask you if Merry crisis the update will be up before the next month? (sorry for asking, i just can't wait to read it )Thank you !
Hi!!! I'm so terribly sorry, I've fallen behind badly on my schedule. Have been up to my neck in work but I've JUST finished the entire chapter and sent it off to beta testers (it's super rough, I still have a bunch of features e.g. achievements not coded) and sections that I've not proof-read myself.
That said, I'd like to send off something to early release folks by end of the month, so I'll aim to proof-read and take in beta tester feedback over the next couple of days (and will continue to do so), but will release the slightly less polished version in a couple of days.
P.S. If you'd like a more finished product, do wait around a week before reading! I'll let you guys know.
As always, hope everyone's doing great.

You don't have to worry about Mal, we already formed a big fanbase for him since the first time he call us Lamplight <3
That's very true. LOL! There was a collective sigh within the fandom the moment those words left his lips. "Hey, Lamplight." And everyone was done.

The smell of bile permeated the halls of an abandoned catacomb.
Soft croaking noises echo through the air, like the sound of laughter dragged to a drawl.
The silver-haired lord does not turn his head to check if his soldiers are still following him — the clattering of their boots on the damp floor is proof enough.
“Find your courage, men of Argent,” he mustered, little more than a whisper in the dark. “Fear only brings a second death.”
His conviction alone was ill-equipped to rally the rapidly fraying nerves of his hunting party, but, in truth, his words were more for his own sake than theirs.
Sharp, clicking sounds fill the darkness, like bones rattling against cracked and mossy stones. Eardrums buzzed, shaking in place, resonating violently to an imperceivable growl. The fire of the torches flare and reel back, as if to retreat from the terrors ahead.
Each breath is visible now — evidence of unholy magics. Evidence of his prey.
The shadows shift, heralding the arrival of something wicked.
Frost creeps across the walls towards the party.
A deathly quiet settles upon them. The void shifts as a sourceless wind extinguishes the torches completely. The only light that remained was the glow of a Blessed sword, as its white flames illuminate this nightmare in the dark. Spectre of an ancient creation.
“V’era!”
As his men fled in terror, King Uriel stood his ground, prepared for battle — ready to send this demon back to its Sunless home.
Tumblr media
Though the men behind him had ran, the V'era before the Warrior-King gave no chase.
It knew. By either instinct, or some magical link, the creature knew of the Blessing.
'That or the fact the sword was glowing,' he thought to himself.
The king smiles at his attempt at lightheartedness. He still had control over his thoughts, and thus control over his body.
He could do this.
The cavern mists stuck to his cheeks, the humidity in the air making him sticky and uncomfortable. His eyes narrow before taking one step forward, keeping his stance balanced and ready to counter what may-
He unconsciously presses on his right toes to spring to the left side, turning his body so that the right leg could quickly plant itself once more.
Pricked needles press down his spine as a gush of wind blows where he had just been. That'd been too close.
Using the momentum of the evasion, he tightly grips the sword's handle as he swings the blade upward.
A slimy and heavy liquid splashes on his face as he feels the slightest bit of contact from the V'era's arm as it slices through. He hears the telltale sizzle of the beast's flesh wound as the Blessing cauterized the missing limb.
Nothing else could harm the V'era as effectively. To them, Her Blessings were holy fire. The bards and minstrels may call it what they will.
"Promised rest..."
The V'era backpedals a few steps, its black head now turning side to side as if feigning confusion.
"Eternal slumber..."
The descendant and inheritor to one of the most powerful bloodlines in existence walks forth, deeper into the dark with Her Blessing. The V'era was now visibly retreating from the glowing sword. Yes... he knew that normal men could never know nor feel how it was to have a V'era up against a wall. He knew what the Blessing in his hands was to these monsters...
"Death." He says calmly as he brings the sword down upon the V'era as it lunges forward.
Once again he feels the slightest of contact as his swing buries deep into its torso, but he pulls away as black claws slice the air near his face. A surprise headbutt tries to smash into his nose but the king ducks.
Panic spreads throughout his body as he feels the slippery ground beneath him threatening to topple him. It must be the V'era's black ichor tainting the ground.
Sensing his current disadvantage, King Uriel kicks away from his left foot to push his body inbetween the V'era's legs, using the kinetic force to let him glide underneath it as he unclasps the dagger on his thigh to stab the V'era's right knee joint.
Recovering his stance and once again facing his adversary, the king witnesses the stumbling V'era turning to face him. Footsteps can be heard running through the tunnels opposite of him.
The men who ran.
'Should I...?' he thinks to himself as he steps forward to the V'era. He waits a few seconds, allowing the creature to reorient itself. It was taking longer than he expected, long enough for him to worry that the V'era would strike once more.
But soon, the familiar orange haze of a torch is enough for him know his men had arrived.
youtube
Tumblr media
The king swings widely in dramatic flourishes that screamed 'LOOK AT HOW COOL I AM!', and the men who witnessed their king's fury stared in awe. Some had contemplated joining, hurrying to the aid of their king, but the senior among them had placed a hand at the youngster's chest to stop him.
"
Tumblr media
"
, he said.
The V'era, now knowing that their was an audience, gave its all. Using its one good arm left, it lumbered over with a downward swing to finally end this impetuous king once and for all. But nay, twas for naught as the great king grabbed the V'era's arm, stopping it dead.
Tumblr media
He tiptoes around the V'era, and to the shock and surprise of everyone there, he rides the fucking thing.
Tumblr media
He continues riding the V'era, guiding it to the entrance of the tunnel, riding it until it collapses from exhaustion. The king stands over the pitiful V'era, and utters
Tumblr media
"You're alright girl," before thrusting his blade into the monster's breast.
Alrighty im done lmaooooo! First off, great job!!! I really loved this part the most for some reason, "The fire of the torches flare and reel back, as if to retreat from the terrors ahead."
You used some great word combos to paint a scene, and I think it shows how much talent you have. Consider writing for realsies!

Update 27/3 - 2024
Hello everyone!
Sorry that this update comes a little bit late; I've been pretty busy with real life obligations these past few days.
I'm still working on the three backgrounds for the prologue. I've finished the first draft of the Aristocrat background along with half of the first draft of the Nomad background. I've also started on the Scavenger background, though it'll likely be finished last.
The first draft of the Aristocrat background ended up longer than I expected, so I'm working on making sure that the other two backgrounds remain more or less around the same word count without feeling too rushed or dragged out.
Since I don't want to rush out the demo, I'll refrain from putting an estimate on its release, but it's unlikely it'll be released at the end of April like I last predicted due to the added content of the backstories. Progress is still going smoothly however, and I reached 100k words this month which I'm really happy about!
By next month's update I should have the first drafts of all the backgrounds finished and also hopefully have started editing the content for the upcoming demo.
Thank you as always for your patience, support and interest in this project <3
