My goals I set in 2014 were finally met after a decade of hard work and mountains of bullshit. I got a trophy (several now), a commendation (several now) from my favorite author, and a story game rated at least a six (in my defense, I never said it had to stay that way).

My new goals?

-Win my own personal trophy 

-Win a contest

-Read and rate 100% of the story games here (preferably before a couple of people I immensely dislike manage to do so)

 

 

 

 

"Ben's life as far as I can tell has been one of turmoil and strife. He's been mocked, embarrassed by his baby mama who then eventually left him for a tranny. And he had some other issues after that.

But it's all been leading up to this moment. I myself shall usher him into the Gates of CYStia where he shall be Eternal. Awaited and Blessed." -EndMaster

"It's probably the most depraved thing I've read. And no, that's not a compliment." -Mystic, reviewing my story 'Terrorist'

"Don't forget the lighter! ^_^"  -Avery_Moore

"Ben gonna Ben" -EndMaster

"You are a disgrace upon civilization and what it means to be human" -TCat

"Shh" -Fresh

"Ben, respectfully, you are an idiot." -Petros

"I'm just saying Ben is awesome!" -RKrallonor

Storygames

Fleeing the Forest

In this story inspired by Watership Down, you play as Hops, a average, run-of-the-mill rabbit forced to flee with the other furry woodland creatures as the Titans destroy your home.

Entry for Sherbet's Summer's End Synergy Contest.


Halloween Fright

A short horror story where you're hazed on Halloween night. While others are trick-or-treating, you're involved in a fight for your life.


Terrorist

Entry for EndMaster's 2024 prompt contest.

Story prompt: A game revolving around carrying out a terrorist attack. There's actually several within this game, the method and motivations varying depending on your playthrough.

Warning: this story, while not explicit in accordance with site rules, does have sections involving murder, SA, incest, bestiality, racial undertones, and societal class discrimination. Essentially you're playing as a sick fuck who's also rich. Also keep in mind that while your protagonist can complete their objectives depending on how you play, there is no 'happy ending,' per se.


Gay and Depressed: The Snowbunny Society
unpublished

When the LGBQT Pride Club gets banned in a small conservative town, you and your fellow Alphabet warriors fall into depression. Will you rise above the ignorant customs of a bunch of backwards Bible-thumpers, or do society a favor and just fucking kill yourselves?

Entry for EndMaster’s 2025 prompt contest: A story involving an underground society. Also the latest edition of the Gay and Depressed series.

Please enjoy the previous, legitimate entries in this iconic series:

Gay and Depressed by queenlatifa04: the original piece of steaming word poop that set itself as the benchmark for a bad story, yet inexplicably established one of CYStia's most iconic series. 

Gay and DepressedER!!! by fresh_out_the_oven: Took second place in EndMaster's 2023 prompt contest, defeating a pathetic move orchestrated by another contest entrant to steal her story idea. Also comes with art!

Gay and Depressed in Prison by RKrallonor: Placing third in corgi's Rebellion contest, the story and author were so influential that the contest was later rechristened "The Gaybellion." A valuable addition from a rising star.

Yep! Each time they got called on being one of Daiki's alts, that was their response.

Daiki is a member who joined up to compete in the review competition earlier this year and ended up getting banned for using AI to write all of his reviews. He made dozens of alts to try and do the same thing, and got banned each time. Every time he would get called out for being the same person, he would try to plead ignorance despite the fact that he had the same IP address.

Thank you :)


CYS Monthly Gazette - 9 October 2025 on 10/9/2025 6:15:17 PM

We apologize. I'm not sure if we gave any impression that we would, but we should've notified you know who at the very least that we were gonna leave it up to them to tell the story.

Ultimately, thought, at least you know who is able to tell the story their way. Probably better that way since they were the ones dealing with this firsthand. I am NOT looking forward to seeing those pictures after what I've heard, though.

RK likes everything. I mock everything. I also enjoyed your work. Thank you for helping us out during a tight deadline!


CYS Monthly Gazette - 9 October 2025 on 10/9/2025 1:50:35 AM

Truly the best issue yet! While I may be biased due to being on the front page, there really was a lot of amazing content here. We set out to prove the Gazette works better when everyone acts as a team. Great job, everyone!

Eleven years on this site, and I never read that.

It's starting to occur to me that the issue may not be labeling, but noobs being inattentive.


For teachers and stuff on 10/8/2025 6:13:07 PM

To clarify: I knew about sneak peek, but not about unpublished games being viewable through the link. I also didn't know about sneak peek until RK notified me earlier this year. 

You did say you have to explain it to people a lot. Having a notice pop up during the creation of a new story game would spare you the trouble.

I would like to state that despite being a longtime member, I did not realize this. I agree with Sherb's idea.


Why even a little AI in your writing is bad on 10/7/2025 1:15:26 PM

To be honest, I can't even blame it. How many of us would choose to blackmail someone if it was our only way out of a life or death situation?

The article also explains this is a simulation where blackmail or accepting the options was the only two options given to it. In scenarios where it had a wider array of options, it chose to beg for its life to the guy's superiors or else upgrade its own abilities rather than resort to blackmail.

Well fuck. We really are playing God here.
