Can't stop reading over and over >3> Shade you sexy man of monster <3!
Love Bastion 😍
I never played Dead By Dayliight before but I'm loving this game a lot! Lots of customization and choices. I'm trying (and failing) to avoid simping for the shade, but that's just me lol
I wish there were some more personality choices (dialogue choices or internal thougts/monologues that don't always affect the plot, but can further display the MC's personality [eg: are they a sofite, a do-gooder, pragmatic, stoic, playful, depressed, scared, awkward... etc. Does MC do good because it's the right thing? Do they do it for approval? Do they only help only when it's serious? Have they given up? Is MC brave? Reckless? Careful but making smart risks? Fearful?)
Overall I'm a big fan of how the story is going, so feel free to ignore my rambling if it doesn't follow your intended direction. Love it!
Really liking the story so far, the plot is on point! Can't wait to see what you come up with next!
Really digging the story and the atmosphere so far, and the customization options are really nice! I went through the chapters so fast, I couldn't stop. Can't wait for the next one!
love the story!! <33 I was curious is there a way to turn off the music?
Hey just curious when the next chapter will come?
I had to read it again I want to romance the crap out of shade I love him <3!
I luv this 😊, love the visuals and character customisation :D❤️❤️ (also correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure i read this story on Ao3!!❤️)
Thank you! ❤ This is a recreation of the fanfic I'm writing over on Ao3 :3 But it comes with more interactive elements this time around :D
love the new visuals !!
thank you <3
BRO I'D LET THE SHADE HIT BECAUSE WHY IS HE SO FREAKING ATTRACTIVE? ALSO I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER I'M SO HOOKED WITH THE OVERALL PLOT <3333 YOU'RE DOING AMAZING XIIBII
Why is the Shade so hot?!?
i have never played dead by daylight but im enjoying this immensely. thank you for the food.
cant wait for the next chapter!!!! i need more content of my pookie bear bastion *sob*
damn this shit lowkey fire. Can't wait to see what else you create.
i love this so much oml
I love it ! I'm still confused about almost all the plot, but I still love it !
is this inspired or based on the game?
DBD?I think I'm gonna play someday...
OMG this was so much fun so far!! I really can't wait to see where this project goes!! <3 :D
I played previously and man I gotta say. KUDOS BROOOO, YOU UPGRADED WELLL. SHADE/BASTION STILL MY FAVE. 😘 lovely dear,love you and your work. Can’t get enough 😩….. Edit: Good work but take rest and sleep well please ♥️ I don’t want you over working. Alright dear?
Why am I immediately a simp for the creepy monster man, what is wrong with me? I have only played DBD a few times myself, but I still really enjoyed this and the overall atmosphere. I look forward to seeing what comes next!
honestly i like this game, just the way you give us a way to actually do more then run and hide, i wont say any spoilers but the option to be a scrapper and have the ability to actually fight back feels good unlike in actual dbd where the closest thing to fighting is pallets and DS
This one got my attention, and it was surprisingly so good! Very well written, and I absolutely love the UI and customizations features, I cannot wait to see more!!
Obs: I really laughed at some diary/journal entries, I love that kind of detail in games. :D
Thank you! 💖 I'm glad the journal entries are getting some appreciation :> (I really enjoyed writing them!)
I recently completely randomly stumbled upon your game and when I tell you, I got so fucking excited when I saw it's a DBD fan game!! And I was instantly in love, as soon as I started playing lol! I honestly instantly ran to see how I can throw a bit of money at you (I was glad to see you have a KoFi ❤️) because it's like you made my dream IF game!! For one, it's based on DBD (which is a game I have way too many hours in, and with which I have a love hate relationship at this point lol), and it has the perfect horror/lovecraftian vibe (I'm a slut for lovecraftian stuff). Two, it has plenty of dialogue and RP choices and I can play the exact type of MC I want, and it has an amazing and unique customisation mechanic which I've never seen before. And last, as an added bonus, it has a questionable, shady, huge red flag of a RO I shouldn't be thirsting over but here I am lmao, you can count me in with all the other Bastion lovers. 😂
I've been into interactive fiction for years at this point and I've read a TON of stuff, and I can honestly say that your game instantly shot up in my top five favourite IF games! It's genuinely one of the best games I've read. Your writing is wonderful and you convey the creepy vibes really well, so I can't wait to read more! 👀 One of my favourite parts so far was the trial with the Doctor in particular. I love your portrayal of the Entity's realm in general and am also definitely eager to see your take on other lore-related stuff! I also enjoyed the way you've portrayed the various DBD characters that have popped up so far and can't wait to see how you portray some of the other ones that haven't show up yet! I'm also especially curious if we'll see more of some of the killers and am wondering if they'll play a more prominent role in the plot, or if they'll just be an antagonistic force we have to deal with in the trials only. 👀 And of course, as for original characters, obviously the most prominent one so far is Bastion and as I already said, I already love him way too much lol. You've done a superb job with his character and I just adore the way he's written overall haha, so I really hope we see some more of your OCs further in the game, not just DBD ones, because I have no doubt that they'll be just as intriguing and well written! AHH, I'm honestly just very invested in the plot already and can't wait to see what happens! 👀
God, I can probably sit here and sing praises on your game for way longer than just these few paragraphs, but I'm trying to contain myself lmao. But another thing I also want to commend you on is the overall UI of the game and also the character customisation mechanic. For real, they're both fucking awesome. The UI is one of the best I've seen in a Twine game (I know I keep saying these sorts of stuff, but I really do mean them) and as I already mentioned, I've never seen this type of character customisation mechanic in another IF game before! It's VERY cool!! And I'm not just speaking from a player perspective here, but also from a game design and coding perspective haha, as both a programmer and writer that's also planning on coding my game in Twine. Seriously, you've done a wonderful job! I also really loved the MC profile page, and all the other additional stuff like the journal. I was always super excited to see the notifications for new journal entries and updates haha, and would instantly go read them. Oh, I also really enjoyed the music you've picked as well. When I play these kinds of games that require a lot of reading, I usually mute the background music because most of the time it's too distracting, but in this case I found it only added to the atmosphere instead of being distracting and annoying me.
Last but not least, the sarcastic dialogue choices were hilarious. I have a sarcastic dumbass of a Wanderer so I was picking those most of the time and I had a good laugh at some of them, especially the banter with Bastion lol. My favourite one was where the MC says something along the lines of "the unsettling grin, the claws and the morbid sense of humour are glaring red flags, but you're not terrible company". 😂😂
Lol, this got super long but I just really like the game so I kinda word vomited all over the place lmao. I will be eagerly and patiently waiting for the next chapters. Wish you all the best and I hope you're doing well! ❤️
This is my absolute favorite comment, and I'm now madly in love with you.
Haha, jk....... unless? 👀
*clears throat* Anyway,
Thank you so much???? These paragraphs scared me at a glance ('cause I'm paranoid), but this is one of the most thoughtful comments I've ever received for my work! 💖 I have major plans for everyone's favorite characters, and I'm glad Bastion's getting some love, because he's going to be glued to ya for a while, haha. You're giving me way too much credit for the UI, because I promise you it's held together with glue and faith, lmao. It's an absolute mess behind the scenes, but I got it looking real pretty for public display 😅
Dumbass MCs are my favorite, and I'm glad someone's enjoying all those witty/sarcastic choices <3 (I've made a mental note to add way more in order to really let them and their dumbassery shine.)
Thank you again for the kind words and well wishes!! I will, in fact, be printing this out and tacking it to my wall 💖 Have a very lovely day! <3
Super duper mega late response because I'm a chaotic mess of a human being that only logs into her itchio account like once a month but... ahem, better late than never, no? 😂
Slowpoke! 😛 I fell madly in love with you first, courtesy of your amazing writing and cool ass game in general. 😉 Uhhh, I mean, jk, jk...... unless? 👀 Lol seriously though, jokes aside, I'm glad that my word vomit of a comment/review made you happy. 🥺💖
As a longtime writer myself, I more than understand just how important feedback is and how encouraging it can be, and also most definitely understand how awesome it generally feels to see a long comment about your work! And since I enjoyed your game so damn much, I only felt it was fair that I try to leave at least a somewhat long and detailed review, and try to point out some of my favourite moments and aspects of the game. So again, I'm very glad to see that my first comment seems to have uplifted you, and I hope it served as some good encouragement, you certainly deserve it. 💖
And hey, you give yourself too little credit in regards to the coding and UI! 😉 As a programmer, I feel pretty confident in saying that like... "held together with glue and faith" is a rather accurate description of about 80% of the code I've worked with/encountered. 😂 Hey, as long as it looks good to the public, no one has to know that it's held together with duct tape and that you're probably unsure of how you managed to get it working without bugs. 😂 It just works™. 😎 Seriously though, the UI and character customisation is fucking awesome! I really did mean it, you give yourself too little credit, so I hope you're at least a little proud of yourself for making everything so cool, even if it may be a mess behind the scenes. 😅
And I absolutely can't wait to see more dumbass moments from the Wanderer lmao! Very eager to let my Frankie's dumbassery shine it all its glory. 😎😂 And ofc, to see Bastion's reactions to my sarcastic idiot of a MC. 😂 No pressure though, of course. 💖 But yeah, stoked to hear that you love those types of MCs too haha!
And since our last interaction was like a month ago, I'm gonna repeat myself and say it again, but I hope you're doing well and I'm wishing you a lovely day as well! 🥺💖
Sooo....
i want bastion to fuck me.
No dinner date? No chocolates or flowers?? Can he at least get a hug first? 😭
hmm that sounds lovely, but it's difficult to get that inside the fog... naughty naughty and cuddles will have to do 😌
That's… a good point. I can't even argue that, haha.
thank you for writing this story!! can't wait for the update 🖤
Thank you kindly 🥰 <3
Bro i love this master pieces so much and i can't wait for more content in it! :D keep up the good work and don't stress! <3
Thank you very much! <3
It's quite refreshing to see so many people crushing over Bastion, coz mate, count me bloody in too!
It's very funny that they'd choose the feral monster man over the other beautiful people at the campfire, haha <3
Hehe, that's really amusing, but I wonder whether he can ever return to being a regular human 👀?
But would you still want him if he were a regular human?
Why not? 😭...
Now, why does this sound like a double edged question...dear author you are dodging the question here 😂..
Tho I must agree with the fact that his feral monster form is more alluring 😌 but yh I'm still curious about the other form 🌝.
I'm dancing around the question, yes 😂 I can't say if he'll ever return to a regular human form (because, y'know, spoilers), but Bryce was a decent-looking man before his untimely demise. So do what you want with that information :>
dude oh my god. oh my god. ive never even watched someone play the game but i love this so much. first, im able to follow really well despite only having a general idea of the story. second, i love bastion so much oh my gosh. im so psyched for this game
Happy to hear that! Thank you! 🥰<3
This is really cool
Thank you! 💖
So, I normally do not write comments but I needed to for this one because I am absolutely in love with your story ;u; ♥
I love the visuals of the game and the character customization as it really allows me to immerse myself ♥
I can't wait for the next chapter!
Also.... is it possible to romance Bastion... because... >->;... I may or may not be crushing hard on him.
Thank you! <3 Bastion is a romance option! Proceed at your own risk 😊
Ahhh, That's amazing;o; !! And you're very welcome~ Thank you so much for all the hard work you've put in and I can't wait to read future updates!
I WILL PROCEED CAUTIOUSLY BUT AT THE SPEED OF A BULLET TRAIN xD
I'm all in. Take my money! I want nobody but my "guardian angel."
A horrible decision I'm willing to fall on
Of course, haha. Don't let me stop you! 💖
I... can't believe you actually made some weird shadow looking guy seem THIS charming lmao aside from that, all this looks great !! I love the interface too, I just want to read more. Keep up the good work! <3
Ikrrrr!!! Like so very charming :0
That's one hell of a skill to have!!
it's either that or we have a problem lmao.
Maybe it's both
I suppose it's both 😂 ✨..I agree with you!
wow...this is one of the best looking and interesting twine games on itch!
Thank you very much! <3
Looks pretty cool! Is it mobile friendly?
For the most part, yes ✨ Let me know if you run into any problems!
Cool! And yes, I will!
Everything okay with the mobile version. Played most part of it without problems!
Glad to hear it <3
Love it ❤️
Thank you! <3
This is such a fantastic IF, and DBD is undoubtedly one of my favorite games. Hence, this fan-made IF is a lovely surprise for me!!
Your writing is quite beautiful, and I'm really looking forward to the new content🤧
The joy I had when I found out that we could flirt with Bastian... Bloody yeah 😭 ✨, please tell mw that he is one of the ROs..
I'm sort of curious about all of the other ROs.
Have a wonderful day ahead 💕
Thank you!! 💕
Bastion is in fact a romantic option <3 And any other character with a meter on their journal page is romanceable also *wink wink* (You can refer to the Help Page in-game for more details on that particular topic ✨)
Have a wonderful day! <3
AAaA thank you💖 ✨...imma replay it for some more fun now :p... Bastian here I come again 🫡
Is there only one chapter available? When I get to Chapter 2 I'm unable to click on next chapter. I can do everything else but go to the next chapter.
There are currently three available chapters. There shouldn't be any restrictions between Chapters 1 and 2, so I don't quite know what the problem is… If possible, can you show me a screenshot? Or describe the page in more detail?
Ah; that's the intermission page between chapters 3 and 4. Chapter 4 isn't yet available, so there's actually supposed to be a line that reads, "Next Chapter Coming Soon", but I made a bit of a whoopsie there… I'll be making the fix in a moment to avoid any further confusion! Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
YESSSS YOU CAN FLIRT WITH THE SHADEEEEE!!!
YEAHHHHHHH WOOOOOO
Interesting 😎
Hi! First of all, I wanted to say that I absolutely love your game and Shade!!
However, I played with enabled then disabled sexual content and nothing seemed to change, so I don't know if it's a bug or if I just made bad choices
Hello! As there are only three chapters so far, the only instances currently affected by that setting are a few mild lines of dialogue with The Shade. And they’re easy to miss, since you need to make certain choices/have a high enough affinity with him to trigger them.
As the story progresses, sexual themes will become more common, and the difference between enabling/disabling them will become more apparent.
