THRILL SEEKER (WIP)

DEMO | OFFICIAL DISCORD | RO FACECLAIMS

Thrill Seeker is rated 18+ for gore, violence, bad language, and themes of physical abuse. Any other warnings will be added as the game progresses.

Thrill Seeker is an interactive fiction horror/mystery game with romantic aspects. Solve the mystery of who killed your mother and make some friends along the way.

Rules for asks

Upon coming back to the family home from college, you find the corpse of your mother mutilated almost beyond recognition. Apart from the terrible scene, there is seemingly no evidence found by the police and no suspects are brought up.

The lack of answers is driving you crazy, and so you set out to find out who has killed your mother yourself. This job will be difficult-- there will be friends that can help you along the way, but some of them have darkness that runs through them bone deep, and to trust the wrong person can be deadly.Still, if you can find it in yourself to trust them... or to simply look past your own judgement-- you might be able to romance them, as well.

There is corruption all around you-- make sure you know who to trust. Make sure you can trust yourself. 

Will you be led into corruption, yourself?

- fully customize your MC - choose their name, physical appearance, race, and gender (including cis, non binary and transgender options, all of which will influence the story!)

- Change your MC’s personality - your choices affect their reality, and change your ending (some which are good and some... which are less than good, by the conventional sense)

- Befriend and/or romance three love interests (gender selectable) who influence YOU just as much as you influence them, and who can change your ending

- Solve your mother’s murder and/or ruin your life

Hansol/Hanyoung Blackthorne | m/f | 26 yrs old | Hansol’s height: 195 cm | Hanyoung’s height: 185 cm | Korean/Vietnamese descent

Hannie was your old high school rival, going to the same private school as you did. Differing from you, who got there on scholarship, they got there on their parent’s money. Their family owns a law firm, which has always been Hannie’s dream to own-- and own, they now do. 

You remember them as infuriating and just a little too perfect to be real. Sometimes people are gifted with just a little too much-- save some talent for the rest of us! It would’ve been easier to let go of your rivalry if they were just some silver spoon-- no, they just had to be a golden one, too. Smartest in class, best in athletics, super tall and super handsome-- and to make matters worse, they ran for student body president. You never stood a chance-- you were forced to go for vice!

They were the last person you expected to see at your mother’s funeral, and you expected even less their want to help you. Again, the thought comes into your head... too perfect to be real.

You both still butt heads-- it’s hard not to. But at least they’re genuine. 

Right?

Oliver/Olivia Williams | m/f | 25 yrs old | Oliver’s height: 173 cm | Olivia’s height: 179 cm | British descent

Oli was your neighbour and best friend growing up. You’ve always been together for as long as you can remember, and they’ve been there for you through thick and thin. You haven’t seen them in a while-- you lost contact when you left for college. 

Still you can remember how they made you smile. You can’t think of a more bright person. They lit up every room they were in, their laughter was infectious, and they were always there for you. Whether it was your first breakup, another time of Hannie beating you, through thick and thin, they were always there. And, you can bet you were there for them, just as much, and you cared for them with just as much ferocity as they cared for you.

They were one of the first you contacted when you found out about her death. They were a cop, after all, and they lived in the same area as your mother-- there was no one you trusted more. 

But for all of Oli’s kindness and similarities... something seems off. They aren’t the same person they used to be, and you don’t think it’s just the years. Something changed them.

You can only hope it’s not for the worse.

Nneka/Naasir Adebayo | m/f | 28 yrs old | Nneka’s height: 152 cm | Naasir’s height: 185 cm | Igbo descent

N Adebayo is a doctor... or at least, they’re trying to be. And they’re almost done their studies!

They met your mother when they were just a child. N had many health problems, but your mother had been there for them and always treated them with kindness. She inspired them to go into medicine. If they could make a difference in someone’s life like how your mother made one in theirs-- that would make them happy beyond belief. 

You met them at the funeral, and they were passionate about helping you. They had already been looking for might have done it-- you were surprised to find that. N is passionate in everything they do, and they pour all of their heart into everything. They're the kindest person you’ve ever met, and your heart feels light just looking at them.

However, there’s a sharp edge to that smile. They change emotions so quickly-- and they’re so good at acting, too. What do they really feel? What do they really want?

Just pray you’ll have the upper hand when you find out.

I went into a cafe today with some friends, and there were these two guys sitting with these two girls. One of the guys I've seen before, and he's totally obnoxious. I did NOT expect him to be a crypto alpha male bro but I should've.

After a long rant about how NFTs were the future, i just heard this man say 'Money talks... I translate." Followed by an awkward silence from his friends.

genuinely. why do you live like this.

This is so stinking cute dude. 

I think we know how Oli would react. If you decided to come back in that room after three hours you would still see them blankly staring at the wall, face bright red. The MOMENT they got a kiss from you, even on the cheek, especially if they saw YOU were flustered from it… it would be over for them. Actually, this inspired me to make a short film:

Hannie, again, has not much experience with physical touch. It’s not that they haven’t dated anyone before, so it’s not like they have no experience with kissing; but kisses on the cheek, they’ve received much less; it feels more intimate to them, in a way. Seeing you run out, flustered, would actually be very endearing to them; you’d probably look 500000% cuter to them from that point on. They’d think of you the whole day; and throughout the week, whenever they saw you, they’d unconsciously touch their cheek.

N would find this so adorable. They’d be debating whether to follow you and kiss you on the cheek. Out of all the ROs, they’re most likely to later come up to you and say that it was totally fine, and they found you super cute when you did it, probably with a cheesy pick up line to follow.

guys can anyone see the post I just made??? I made a little video and it said it posted but isn't showing up IUHFDHSD

Speaking ab my brother yesterday... I was just remembering some stuff, and I remembered that when my bro and sis were little, I would always proofread their essays. One time, my brother was supposed to hand in this essay about art forms, and he chose dancing, and he had a huge portion about breakdancing and the history and blah blah.

The only problem was... he called it BACK breaking. THE ENTIRE ESSAY. and he had already handed the first draft in 😭😭 we still tease him about it to this day ISUFHSDFHUDFI

ON!!!

I've recently started writing my submission for the queer vampire jam, and I've been loving Pinkpantheress' new album, so I would say for sure give that a listen! In general, my favorite albums are Lamp Genso by Lamp and Free Spirit by Khalid!

Most of the time, I just put my liked songs on shuffle!

walker ⇢ quote one of your favorite lines you've written.

My favorite lines is actually not from an if, but from a small game I made for my brother! We were having a pretty long standing argument, for about a year and a half. I've never been someone good at talking, and my brother is very hotheaded, so when we tried to talk it out, it just never worked.

but since I was a kid, I realized that was a short-coming of mine, and so I started writing letters, huge ones, whenever I wanted to sincerely apologize. The game is something I've kept near and dear to my heart, and it was actually kind of used as a vent, to tell him my feelings!

The final lines of the game are an apology, and the very last line is my favorite:

I hope you’re happy, lil bud.

No matter how old we got, even with the arguments, he still lets me call him lil bud! (And the fact that he's like 10 inches taller than me!) This game actually helped us talk, and we forgave each other, and started talking again! :-) So that's why it's my favorite!

(and also manon you deserve all the love in the world, you are absolutely the best, and probably the author that I look up to the most!!!)

usami ⇢ do you have any pet peeves related to writing?

I am someone who has read a LOT of fanfiction, so I have a pretty comprehensive list:

tahir ⇢ what part of writing do you want to get better at?

To be honest, all of it! Especially, I think, not getting embarrassed at my own writing. I feel like I just need to start learning how to take a more objective view, instead of trying to refine, refine, and refine.

Another thing I would like to work on is my atmosphere! I hope to add more atmospherism into my writing, as some of my favorite authors do (a great example being @anya-dev and @manonamora-if, especially their game DOLOS)!

I really like this question! I wanna include this kind of option in Thrill Seeker, at some point in the investigation!

Hannie would definitely be surprised the first time. They’re not at all used to physical touch; I think this would be something that would get you a surprised look. To put it in perspective: they’re honestly not even used to holding hands or hugging their siblings. But, they’re also someone that’s quickly able to read people, and understands that this is something that the MC needs, something that makes them feel more at ease. After an awkward pause, they would hold your hand comfortably, if not with a slightly straighter back (practically unnoticeable, their posture is picture perfect.) They’d be less stiff after it happened a couple times.

N would also be a little surprised, but they’d show it way less. Since they have a lot of siblings, they can understand the feeling of literally reaching out to someone when you need reassurance. They would give the MC a smile, and squeeze their hand, no need to say anything. Out of all the ROs, they're the best at comforting people; they'll always be there with a smile, and they always seem to know what to say.

Oli probably knows about this habit already. They’re not someone who’s very comfortable with physical touch, but just holding the MC’s hand can make them feel safe. The first person you would experience a hand-holding scene like this would be with Oli, especially at the funeral. Oli knows the MC very well, so many times, the MC will feel Oli intertwine their fingers first, just to offer that reassurance.

As a kid, especially as a kid who almost immediately had a crush on the cute kid next door, they would have been very surprised the first time a distraught MC would hang out with them alone and hold their hand. They wouldn’t know how to comfort MC at all, and would kind of just be in shock if MC held their hand. But they wouldn’t let go, and they would comfort MC to the best of their ability. As an adult, however, for Oli, holding MC’s hand would be as natural as breathing.

Is the complicated feelings like an enemies to lovers situation? Because the only feelings I have towards Turg is only adoration and admiration.

and of COURSE a banner was made, this is the start of my new lifestyle! I will print it out and pin it to my wall once I get the chance!

Good night, Turg!! Sleep well!!!
