Rainbow-1

You are a Californian inmate firefighter, flying out to stop a wildfire in the sierras. You are also a native of this land, descendent of a proud line of firewalker shamans, but the blaze you're facing now is unlike anything you've ever seen. As you stand before it with your high-powered chainsaw, you'll will have to face the demons of your past. Depending on your choices, you may emerge tempered, reforged, or burned to a crisp. The choice is yours, Chief.

This is a game for adults. It has a fair bit of gore, violence, sexual elements, and touches on offensive topics. If that's not for you, turn around now, this site has plenty of other content that you will like better.

Despite the word count this is a short game: Typical time for one playthrough is 25min.

This game was an entry to Sherbet's "Summer's End Synnergy Contest". (I wanted it to be Quentin Tarantino, but it turned out David Lynch.)


The Laconia Incident

It's 1942 and you are Karl Petersen—In another life, you'd still be studying for your doctorate in English Literature, but this isn't another life, and you've been assigned as second officer of the submarine U-156, patrolling the South Atlantic. So come on now, the Third Reich is at war and the Kriegsmarine needs you!

The game was made as an entry to END MASTER'S PROMPT CONTEST 4, with the prompt “A story about naval warfare.”

Content Warning: I thought this one would turn out on the lighter side, but the usual sex, violence, occasional torture and optional suicide crept back in (It also has language!). In cinematic terms think of Hemmingway and the Reservoir Dogs re-enacting the Omen on a submarine.

Regardless of word count, this is a short game: Playtime is only 20-30 min.

There are several storylines but only ONE TRUE ENDING.


Writing Quiz

Twelve questions on writing, authors, and literature!

In truth, this is a thinly-veiled pretense to share some interesting stories about writing. Some questions are hard, and perhaps intentionally so, because even the wrong answers lead to stories that are fun and informative.

Warning: Should you choose to read through all answers, you waive your right to complain that it's too long.

I consider this a fun family-friendly game, but still it is about writing, which means drugs, suicide and insanity will come up repeatedly.

Enjoy!


Labyrinth of Secrets
unpublished

When she reaches a strange temple, Anna struggles to remember even her own name, but as she explores the temple's vast library she must discover the truth about her past, before an ancient curse claims her. And, is she even Anna?

This was written for Mizal's single-day competition that was "all Suranna's fault."

This story is set in the same world as "Wintertorn" that I am currently writing for Endmaster's prompt contest.

Also I have to request a review of my new little Writing Quiz. Maybe RK wants to have a go?

I am done with Hues of Infection and also A Graveyard Smash. Both were very interesting games. I thought A Graveyard Smash would be a lighthearted game, but I found it very moving in a way that I had not expected. (The pacing is off but you hardly notice because the scenes are so good.) Hues is a really fun. Though it has some shortcomings it really makes up in other areas: gritty writing, cool premise and setting.

Thanks you. Yes the title is a little understatement. Though I really think it is deeply about writing. All those stories about writers communicate something.

Since we now have ∞ time again to finish the competition stories, I have made a small quiz to help you procrastinate.

It's has twelve questions on authors, literature and writing. Of course writing is hard, so I expect the majority of people will get at least half of them wrong...
