By the Light of Day

       

They took everything from you. Everyone you loved, everything you built, and left you to die. They left you to them. But you didn't die. You survived. Now you live, such as it is, for one purpose: revenge.

Some notes: If you couldn't guess by the title, this storygame has vampires! I've taken a bit of an unusual angle on their origins, and have taken some liberties with some fringe Christian theology and a few Biblical passages (using Wycliffe's Bible as the primary translation). Dearest Christians, please remember this is fiction, so no need to be offended. Moreover, neither the story nor the protagonist is anti-Christian. He's just a different kind of Christian. Read the book in the inventory for more clarity on that.

The item system is not too complicated. Certain pages will ask you to craft potions using herb items in sequence, and then using those potions will reveal the next link. Note: you will need BOTH weapons to be anointed eventually.

To those of you trying to gain a quick point by rating a storygame, for your convenience I've left "End Game" exits whenever you die.

Special thanks to BradinDvorak for help with scripting regarding the item menu.

Thanks for playing!


Chivalry
In the aftermath of a civil war and subsequent crusade to expand the Kingdom of Agatha, General Malric has betrayed the cause, staging a coup. The King, by all accounts, is dead, and you and the other Knights of Agatha return to take the Kingdom back.

This storygame is based on the video game "Chivalry: Medieval Warfare," a competitive multiplayer medieval melee FPS. The game itself has background lore, but no plot regarding the events that transpire during the game. So I decided to make a plot up. A few of the characters I created are named after the online handles of developers of the game (and/or some of the voice actors in the game).

Here is a trailer to give an idea what the game is about: Chivalry: Medieval Warfare Trailer


Fey Light

Death has come, and now the Lingering begins.

For ages, the Woe has approached. But as the Light of Life wanes, its spread accelerates. The guilty shall reap their cruel rewards, and only you know what you truly deserve. But what of the innocent? Preserve the Lingering, or all will feed the gnawing darkness.

Some notes: If you plan on playing full screen or making the text larger, wait to do so until you click the "Click Here to Begin" button, or else you may not be able to find the 'Start Game' link. Dark Reader or larger text settings may also alter formatting, and it is recommended that you don't play this on a mobile device. Lastly, it is recommended you do not block images. If for some reason the images don't load, it's likely the hosting site is down. They'll eventually be back up.

TRIGGER WARNING: This storygame has disturbing events, including sadistic violence and cruelty that some would consider offensive. The "anything goes" maturity level is taken seriously here. Do not read this if you can't handle horrifying, vile content.


PSYOPS

What are the limits of human ingenuity? Usually it is Nature who decides when a species is no longer worthy of continuation, but humans alone are able to truly understand their own limitations. However, understanding what you cannot do is not always enough, and eventually Nature decided to put human ingenuity to the ultimate test. Unfortunately, humanity knew they would fail that test the moment it was revealed. Unable to save themselves, they created something that could: PSYOPS.


Slay the Dragon
A dragon has kidnapped a lovely lady, and the King himself has commissioned you to save her. Will you save the lady? Is that what truly matters? Or is it all about the friends you meet along the way?

The Ghost People
This is an entry in the December contest

Writing Prompt: "In 100,000 B.C.E., a boy from a Neanderthal tribe meets a homo sapien girl for the first time, changing the fate of their tribes for all time . . . for better or worse."

A Neanderthal boy is sent on a perilous mission to rescue kidnapped members of his tribe from the clutches of the evil Ghost People, whose magic far surpasses that of his own people.

Some quick info on the setting: It is generally believed that hominids lost their thick fur around 1.2 million years ago or so, give or take. However, for the sake of this story, Homo neanderthalensis will have thicker body hair than Homo sapiens (not bear-thick, but still thicker). There are two reasons I have chosen to do this: (1) They lived in the colder regions. (2) Homo neanderthalensis appears to have had primitive clothing compared to Homo sapiens; basically just fur capes, while Homo sapiens had more advanced stitching and more tightly tailored clothing (which kept them more warm). So I feel having neanderthals a little more hairy than Homo sapiens is a reasonable liberty for me to take in this story.

As for language and technology, both Homo sapiens and Homo neanderthalensis shared almost identical vocal anatomy where it matters. Despite neanderthals not having left behind nearly as much advanced artwork, they very likely had complex language just like Homo sapiens. As for fire technology, for the purpose of this story I am assuming that different hominid tribes were further advanced than others, irrespective of species. The neanderthal tribe the protagonist comes from has yet to master creation of fire.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy!

Update: Put an End Game link on the same page the Epilogue link is, so you can skip it if you want, since it is so unpopular ;) .


The Shameful Dead

The plague has come.

Humanity's brief moment on the clock of existence is winding down. As the undead slowly replace the living, the experts and leaders of the world have told you to accept this new reality, and survive the best you can.

But they didn't tell you the horrible truth. They didn't tell you that trapped inside each mockery of a human being is a helpless wraith, doomed to be a silent witness to the horror and destruction its own corpse wreaks.

And worst of all, they didn't tell you of the shame: the shame you feel as you watch your loved ones being torn apart by your own cold, undead hands...

The Story of Count Osmond Jorgensen

The Story of Count Osmond Jorgensen

There's no price a good man won't pay to save the woman he loves...

It was an unlikely marriage, but still somehow a happy one. Though he barely knew her, Count Osmond Jorgensen counted himself fortunate on the day of his wedding. Talia was more than he could have ever hoped for: beautiful, temperate, and always smiling. Osmond was fully taken, and believed that he would do anything for her. Over the years, he discovered just how far he'd go for the woman he loved.

Additional notes: This short story is tangentially part of the Witch Hunter series. It is a more fleshed out historical account of Count Osmond Jorgensen, which is briefly mentioned in the inventory book "On Witches, Werewolves and Wyverns."

Wheeler & Brandt LLP

WARNING: There isn't much by way of blatantly graphic sex in this storygame, but there are plenty of deviant erotic situations, including some pretty rapey ones. If such scenarios disturb you, this storygame probably isn't for you.

At its core, this storygame is a tale of a screwed up BDSM relationship, which you cultivate as the ultimate "sub." The goal of this storygame is to get your boss to engage in as many "unprofessional" acts as possible, and to eventually sway him into falling for you, all without getting fired along the way. If you make the right decisions, the game escalates from event to event, bringing you closer and closer to a relationship with your boss. It's pretty linear, and you'll know for certain if you get the "winning" ending. Let's just say it will involve a leash and some public humiliation. *1/8/2019 Republishing to re-upload background images.

You work in a small law firm, performing both receptionist and data entry roles. Your job is thankless and tedious, but one thing keeps you coming back: your boss, Brandon Wheeler. Aloof and dispassionate, Wheeler exudes a muted but overwhelming power you find irresistible, and you are determined to tame that power, even if it costs you your career.


Witch Hunter: An Uninvited Guest

Synopsis:

The ancient wisdom says, "If any man would not work, neither should he eat."

Fortunately for you, there is enough evil lurking in the dark corners of the world to pay the bills. Or to at least get an extension on them.

Usually, rumors of a witch savaging a village send travelers away in fear, but not you. As a contract witch hunter, you rejoice at such news and the promise of a financial windfall that comes with it. This particular contract, however, seems unusually dangerous. Witches tend to follow certain patterns, the most consistent of which is an attempt to remain unnoticed beyond the village they victimize. This one, however, seems to be recklessly spreading destruction, showing no fear of repercussion. Unfortunately for you, such contracts are rare enough that you cannot turn them down. Risk of life and limb, or worse, simply comes with the job.

Here’s one I had to find out: can you hang yourself from a palm tree. Of course the search was futile, bringing mostly suicide hotline stuff.

I think you can go further and just say it's meaningless entirely to talk about a photon's rest frame. Which I guess fits in with what Ace said about dump trucks. If he is the dump truck, does it make sense to ask if he has a dump truck back there?

That's how a photon feels before it passes through a double-slit.

Alternate suggestion: ask for one more week's delay. Would help everyone. ;)

No reason to stop. Even if you can't make this one, every now and then a contest happens where you're allowed to enter stories you've previously been working on.

Don't listen to them, Ogre. You're doing a fine job.
