The Unseelie DEMO
Back home the summer before your junior year in college, you’re staying with your mother while you visit. Only there’s been rumors lately; animals dismembered, people going missing, bodies disappearing from the hospital morgue. Your small town has been turned on it’s head while you were gone.
The Unseelie is an interactive fiction novel that takes place in a small town on the coast of Maine. Currently, part one of chapter one has been published.
You grew up the only child of a single mom who loved you dearly. Your three best friends, who’ve been with you since before elementary school, were a constant presence in your life.
Until Cam’s parents died your senior year of high school and Morgan followed them to the grave your freshman year of college. Losing two friends, one to grief and one to death, was a hard blow you thought you’d never recover from.
Now you have Kiran, who's both loyal and dedicated and a little bit of a troublemaker.
Returning home is dragging up old memories that are best left buried. Not to mention there’s apparently a psycho killer on the loose.
It should be an interesting summer, at least.
- Create your character. Customize gender (full customization, including trans MCs), pronouns, and appearance.
- Story-based over stat-based.
- Romance any of the ten romance options or the eight poly routes. Or the four-person polycule route!
- The poly routes are Morgan & Kiran, Camilo/Camila & Kiran, Camilo/Camila & Morgan, Kiran & Auberon/Aubera, Ryn & Kendall, Rei & Kendall, Rei & Josie, and Ryn & Auberon/Aubera.
- The Polycule is Kiran, Morgan, and Camilo/Camila.
- Become a vampire or a werewolf. You’re an odd one despite your species, unfortunately.
* - ROs met in game so far
*Kiran Patel, he/him or she/her, a human. Your best friend. Currently a junior in college, just like you. Has stuck by your side through everything, even food poisoning after you both ate gas station sushi on a road trip.
Camilo/Camila Ramos, he/him or she/her, a human. You've grown apart since their parents died, followed shortly after by your shared best friend Morgan. They still care, though, despite the distance. At least, that’s what you tell yourself.
Ryn Cooper, he/him or she/her, a witch. They’re rather eccentric, even for a witch, and have an ego to match all their skill. They saved your life, though, and might continue to do so.
Josephine “Josie” Ellington, she/her, a vampire. Leader of your local vampire coven. Ruthlessly efficient, she cares for her people better than the old windbags she replaced.
Connor Adwell, he/him, a vampire. Josie's right hand. He doesn’t trust you, he’s made that very clear. Despite Josie’s orders, he’s determined to find out the truth behind your mystery.
Emery Fitzpatrick, they/them, a witch. A curious friend of Ryn’s, there’s more to their story than they’re letting on. Still, they’re quite powerful and seem interested in keeping you alive.
Rei Suzuki, he/him or she/her, a werewolf. Alpha of the local pack. If it can even be called a pack anymore, that is. With werewolves dying left and right, Rei is desperately trying to save them.
Kendall Bennett, he/him or she/her, a werewolf. Rei's right hand. They’ve lost more more than you can imagine, but still find it in themselves to be kind, albeit reserved. For them, it’s an act of defiance.
Auberon/Aubera, he/him or she/her, the fae. A most unexpected water-dwelling fae. They are curious about you for all the wrong reasons.
Morgan Byrnes, he/him or she/her, dead. Your deceased lover or best friend who was tragically taken from you too soon. You’ll never forget them…or will you?
