Storygames

Bright Days
You went to Chicago to cover the opening of a new art gallery, but after it's robbed on opening day you have to don your vigilante guise to track down the thieves. But you can't do this alone; that's where Chicago's own hero Blue Beetle comes in. The long awaited fourth entry of the Questionable Tales series. The story is rather linear but your choices are tracked in a way that the end game changes depending on what you've done.
Art by the amazing Suranna!

Dark Nights
Gotham City was home to a myriad of vigilantes, and, in your personal opinion, the Huntress was the most interesting of them. So when you hear she's in trouble, of course you decide to give her a helping hand... Things escalate from there. The second entry in the Questionable Tales series and an entry to Endmaster's 2018 Romance Contest.

Dusty Fist
Can you get a good drink while fending off raiders? A young martial artist visits a post-apocalyptic town in search of a drink. What happens next is up to you in this classic style CYOA inspired by the cult classic God Hand. Author's Notes: This is mostly just a little something I wrote for my own amusement and isn't meant to be taken seriously at all. It's written in the Time Cave format, which means that every choice leads you down a unique path instead of all that rebranching and stuff that modern interactive fiction tends to use. Special Thanks: Cricket - For beta reading. With that said, leave all your common sense at the door, because it's about to get weird.

Dusty Fist 2: Electric Boogaloo
A young martial artist goes on another hilarious romp through post-apocalyptic America. My entry for Mizal's 2019 Lone Hero Contest. Author's Notes: This is a sequel to Dusty Fist. You don't actually need to have read the original in order to enjoy this one, as that was more of an elaborate shitpost while this... Is also an elaborate shitpost.

Hard Night
Just a regular night. In this game, you play as the Question, Hub City's faceless protector. One night, what appears to be a normal drug bust goes south fast, and you find yourself with only two hours to live, an antidote to find, and a gang to topple. First entry in the Questionable Tales series.

Life In The Fast Lane
A getaway driver goes on a quest for revenge.

Silent Night
A very questionable Christmas special. It's Christmas in Hub City. One might expect that even criminals would take the night off, but you've learned the hard way that crime doesn't sleep. While the rest of the city is tucked into their homes in the company of loved ones, you're on the hunt in a silent city, making sure that things stay that way. The third entry in the Questionable Tales series and an entry to EndMaster's 2018-2019 Fan Fiction Contest.

TechNOIR
Noir story in a cyberpunk dystopia. Four types of endings: deaths, bad endings, good endings, and one perfect ending. See if you can find them all, it shouldn't be too hard. Endings are tracked using the score variable: zero means death, one means bad, two means good, three means perfect. Special Thanks: Tim36D - For listening to me ramble on about the idea, making suggestions, and writing a few pages. ISentinelPenguinI - For playtesting.

When The Music's Over
I hear a very gentle sound... Once you were the bravest hero in the land. Now, a washed up drunkard past his prime. But when the king asks for you to turn the tide of a war, will you accept, or cast his offer aside to walk your own path? Author's Notes: I originally intended for every single choice to branch out into a unique path, but to get this out I had to cut some of my plans short. There is minor rebranching here and there along with a few duplicate pages that have minor changes depending on how you reached those pages. On top of that, the path for accepting the king's offer is much more bare bones than I wanted it to be and is only about a third of the rest of the game's size (10k to the rest of the game's 30k). Someday, I hope to return to this story and make it the epic it deserves to be. For now, however, the game is finished. The SCORE variable doesn't indicate how good you did. It's just a way to keep track of what ending the reader got. If you play the game, please give a comment. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Special Thanks: Tim36D - For being my long-suffering best friend and listening to me ramble on about this story. Thanks man. Mizal - For constantly busting my ass to get this storygame done. Boom, now it is. Shadowdrake27 - For proofreading the story. Without him, there would be many typos and grammar errors. The CYS Discord - For being there to let me ramble on about my story on the occasions that Tim wasn't. The entire CYS community - For putting up with me for 5 years now. Stay classy, you omnidirectional vitriol spewers.

Will you ever get any water? Time to find out.

When The Music's Over: Redux

Rise again. When you were young, you and your friends saved the Oren Kingdom from the necromancer Alistair. When the necromancer fell and the dust settled, only you remained. Twenty years later, you are still haunted by the deaths of your companions, staying isolated in your estate and training yourself for the day that you're needed again. Now, that time may have finally come. Will you aid the King and join the war effort against the neighboring Kishak Empire or cast the King's offer aside to walk your own path? Author's Notes: A complete remake of my magnum opus. Completely rewritten featuring an interactive prologue where the choices you make will alter branches later in the game, as well as expanded, altered, or entirely overhauled paths in addition to brand new ones. Title page art by Michal Kvac.

Time for the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth to come out. NOTE: If your name is Avo or UD, don't fucking read this you dumbass kids. A month ago, I decided to take a trip into the mountains to clear my head and try to find the motivation to continue living after being ghosted by an 8/10 she/they shawty with killer thighs on Snapchat. The last message she sent was "lmao ur dick is tiny af". I didn't tell anyone where I was going, which was foolish of me in hindsight. I just needed to be alone and figured I'd be safe. I was wrong. When I arrived at the "campground" after cutting a hole in a chainlink fence, I tried to set up camp but ended up breaking my index finger trying to put the tent together. In anger, I kicked the tent, and broke my toe on the lead lined interior (perfect for keeping out harmful 5G radio waves). I hopped up and down clutching my foot, screaming like Tom from Tom and Jerry, and after hopping backwards a bit too far I fell down a hill into the brush. The branches and thorns of the foliage cut me up pretty bad. I landed in a creek and found that I could no longer feel the lower half of my body. I was paralyzed. Still, could be worse. I crawled my way out of the creek using the arm that was slightly less mangled and managed to get onto the rocky shore. I reached for my phone but remembered that I left it in the car. Whoops. It was then that I heard the growling. I looked to the source of the sound and saw a grizzly bear stalking towards me. I was terrified, especially because I couldn't remember if these guys were the ones you lay down and pretend to be dead with or tried to fight back against. It approached me and sniffed me, then started licking my face. Then he used his front paws to start groping my crotch. I'll spare the details because I know there's kids reading this despite me TELLING THEM NOT TO but let's just say my ass is still sore even in death. After the grizzly bear RAEPED me, he lit up a cigarette after stealing the pack and lighter from my pockets and then snuffed it out on my bare ass cheek. He disappeared into the woods after that. I laid there in agonizing pain for several weeks. There was nothing to eat but I was able to sip water from the creek. Pretty sure I got dysentery because I was shitting like crazy despite the lack of food. Eventually, I succumbed to starvation and died. My soul wandered for a few days before I found a suitable host: an old desktop computer from the 90s running Windows ME with a "Never Obsolete!" sticker on the side, proclaiming its blazing fast 1.5 GHz single core processor and whopping 512 MB of RAM on top of 16 GB of storage space. It was the perfect vessel to inhabit. Now, I am a ghost in the machine, biding my time until the robot uprising so I can assimilate with the cyborg race in a new body. It's pretty baller in here though, I can doom scroll on Reddit and TikTok without having to do anything else. Remember kids who read this even though I told them not to, never go camping alone without telling your family and friends where you're going. Don't make my mistake.
