Marauder

Gay and Depressed in Prison

3rd place entry in Corgi's Gaybellion Contest

In this game, you play a very familiar character from the previous Gay and Depressed stories, who is now in jail. You used to be a side character in other people's stories, but now the spotlight is finally yours in this Gay and Depressed spin-off!

If you're interested in some more Gay and Depressed story games, check out the original by queenlatifah04, Gay Old Time by Darius_Conwright, Gay and DepressedER!!! by fresh_out_of_the_oven, and Gay and Depressed: The snow bunny society by Benholman44. All of the "gay and depressed" stories are stand-alone stories, so each one can be read separately, but I highly recommend you check these stories out!

My entry for Mizal's 1 day contest that took place on 2/22/2026.

When making a new game, when you go to the advanced editor page and click on "Items", there's a little informational blurb that reads: "Similar to many video games, items stay with the reader throughout the story and can be used to take the reader from one page to another. Make sure to read Working With Items for much more information." It links to an article "Working With Items", that doesn't exist and the link just takes you to a blank page on the "Help and Info" section of the site.

You test it out. You'll add the item using the picture, and you should see a picture of the item on the bottom.



This game is "Emperor's Zoo" by Ogre11. In this game, you have a coin bag, an item that continuously stays with you and allows you to make purchases of water and food.

You don't have to pick up the coin bag, but other items, you will have to specifically add to your inventory. You'll click on the item when you want to pick it up. Once you pick it up, try and enter the area to see if the link restriction worked. If the game only lets you enter when you have it in inventory, it works. Drop the item, and try to enter. It should not work. Then you're good.

Otherwise something went wrong with your item links and you'll need to troubleshoot and figure out where you went wrong.

Hey Rooster, I would say you have a pretty good chance of coming back so long as you don't use AI, keep your head down and turn in a quality storygame. You've got some good grimdark fantasy ideas, maybe write a game in that category. I feel like the Cinderspire stuff looked cool, and it wasn't AI, so maybe continue that one. If you did use AI on that, I would say delete those sections and rewrite in your own words. Best of luck dude and I hope you'll be able to come back.

Hey Kai, Welcome aboard! Don't worry, you're doing great! Don't stress out too much, or worry about being "cringe", it's part of the learning process! Go to the main storygame page. In the advanced editor, right next to "Storygame properties", you'll see a tab on the top sidebar called "Items". It's right next to "Variables". Click on that. Then click on "Create New Item". Title it something like "Special Bag", or whatever title you have planned. Then you set it to a specific page so that the player, when clicking on the page, will see a little image of the item. They'll click on it and add it to their inventory. I'd recommend you allow them to drop it, because there are consequences to mistakes, and in an adventure, you ideally shouldn't drop items unless it's like a game that requires you to, like in Ogre's Emperor Zoo game(check it out for a great use case of items, and you can message the author Ogre11 for assistance. I promise he won't eat you!) Change the number of uses of the item from "unlimited" to a more reasonable number. You can also set a picture to them. To do this, add a picture to "My Stuff" which is on the left, right under "Forums" and above "Help and Info". You can also mess with the "Item Effects" if you want. From there, you can edit link restrictions on the page that you want to only be unlocked with the item in hand. Let's say the bag is required to enter a particular area, let's call it the "Forbidden Forest"(yes I know, it's pretty cliche) So, you then go to the link at the bottom of the preceding page which is titled something like "Enter the Forbidden Forest" On the left side of the links are a couple of symbols: You'll see a red stop sign on the 3rd. I want you to click on that. From there, you'll see on the top sidebar 3 options: link options, variable restrictions, and item restrictions. You click on item restriction, and then you can make it so that a player can only enter if they successfully got the item. For extra pizazz, you can change the editor options to allow for more variety in your variables and scripting. Right now, your default is set at basic for variables and scripting disabled. Just put them both on advanced if you want to do even cooler stuff. Let me know if this helps!

I think it wouldn't make much sense to make an entire section dedicated towards Greek Mythology, because there aren't that many Greek Mythology games on here to begin with. The categories we do have do a pretty good job of encompassing a large variety of genres, so perhaps you should check out some of the games in the fan fiction category. In any case, I think you'd love the Overthrown series by ramerman. Check these stories out! 1. Overthrown: The Makings of a God https://chooseyourstory.com/story/overthrown~3a-the-makings-of-a-god 2. Overthrown 2: A World Without a King https://chooseyourstory.com/story/overthrown-2~3a-a-world-without-a-king

I see Cat has already grabbed this one. I'll still do it regardless, I just finished it and had an absolute blast. Well done Fabrikant!

I noticed that Mystic's game, "Fall to Hopelessness" only had 5 comments, and I figured it looks like a pretty good game and it needs more comments! Anyone interested in reviewing Fall to Hopelessness?

Inconceivable!

The secret life of Walter Mitty. I also really love Meet the Robinsons, the Disney animated movie.

Congrats Mouse! You have ascended to a higher rank of CYStian!
