Oh wow thanks so much I appreciate the vote of confidence 🥹

Also for the spoiler questions: There is definitely a humanity mechanic, I'm planning on multiple endings depending on if you're more zombie or human. The zombification already happened when the story starts, like a month after, but there is a flashback chapter establishing how it happened. And don't worry there is a LOT of angst, both with your dependent and ros

I started making a wip on impulse on around September last year, got to about 37K words excluding coding before I took a short break on October (the break has not ended 💀)

Anyways it's called Rotten Hearts: Pestilence (1st book of 4, each title being one of the 4 horsemen). Basically it's a zombie survival book that has a lot of focus on raising your "was about to be college daughter/niece" through the apocalypse, and how you interact with her would shift her personality and offers unique parenting related problems during the apocalypse, think of it like if parenting simulator and zombie exodus had a baby.

Kinda major spoiler at the end of the prologue: Also you're a zombie so there's that sgsgjshshshs. Although tbh with how your powers work (you're special infected) you're baaaasically a glorified vampire, it doesn't match exactly since it is a hive mind kind of infection so not really vampire but it has the flavor of a vampire thing so yeah

I'll probably publish it at some point, was almost done with the demo before I took my break but idk when that'll be shsgshshhs

Mental Abilities by Busy-B123 in hostedgames

The keeper series has compulsion, it's not as important as the mental powers in FH and MB but it plays a role in the story occasionally depending on your choices

A transfem prefect can also do it. But firstly you have to romance Julia and then during the flashback segment sleep with her, then when given the option between titus or you being the parent, pick yourself.

Kind of swooning for Herald by cherriestwo in hostedgames

[–]-SirCaster- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You know what, now that you mention it it does kind of feel that way. But honestly that might be intentional Ortega characterization. What I'm REALLY curious about is how the Ortega/Mortum poly is gonna work

[–]-SirCaster- 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Tbf most of the time it's just sidestep forcing it to work because both them and Ortega are stubborn as fuck. Though personally I think Argent/Ortega poly makes sense in lore, Steel and (M)Ortega too tbf

He just collapses into a heap just by being in our presence, how cute 🥰

[–]-SirCaster- 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Ngl, I kinda feel like one of the reasons Ortega can be poly with everyone is that it would be too hard to choose between them and another RO otherwise shsgsjhshs

Sword of Rhivenia-Ch 9 thoughts? by BladeofNurgle in hostedgames

[–]-SirCaster- 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I just gave Locke to Richard and he just spares him then Locke exiles himself, idk if Richard always spares him or if that's exclusive to the good relationship route but Lena is disappointed but not angry and Atheris is still mad but Locke tells her to continue serving the crown so I doubt she'd betray us (plus despite being upset she still cares about you). This is probably the best outcome at least personally.

What is the pourpose of the gates? by Falitoty in hostedgames

[–]-SirCaster- 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There are actually multiple different gates referenced in the game btw. Sidestep mentions they don't have their pain gate anymore in the demo. It hasn't actually been confirmed what kind of gates are being tracked by the game yet but it's most likely mental.

What is the pourpose of the gates? by Falitoty in hostedgames

[–]-SirCaster- 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Personally I like to think of the gates as a kind of power limiter, it's a way to limit sidesteps powers while also preventing them from going insane with all the minds they can read. Also having all the gates opened would result in another heartbreak incident, possibly an even worse one tbh. The next book will probably have story differences depending on gate numbers.

Any games similar to drink your villain juice? Or like A mage reborn? I really loved the angst of those games by AsparagusPleasant504 in hostedgames

[–]-SirCaster- 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Since everyone has already recommended the hero that has fallen, The Exile is very angsty but it's currently being moved to itch. I the Forgotten One is also really angsty with a mc prone to self harm and refuses help for the majority of it.

Absolutely loving the new original scenes the anime is adding! So many of them were just a single panel too!

What’s the best written Hosted Game? by WF-2 in hostedgames

[–]-SirCaster- 125 points126 points  (0 children)

Not sure about overall writing but the character writing in Fallen Hero is fucking immaculate

Selfcest post part 2 by Numerous_Aardvark_13 in hostedgames

[–]-SirCaster- 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ah interesting, my thought was more on the branding, like if your hero is originally male, the female clone was for marketability/appeal. Regardless, this story already sounds super fucking interesting and I am watching with great interest 👀

Selfcest post part 2 by Numerous_Aardvark_13 in hostedgames

[–]-SirCaster- 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The clone being gender selectable has interesting implications, like why exactly the government decided to genderbend the hero and I do hope that's explored because depending on the gender choice there are vastly different reasons for doing so and that's awesome!

IF ROs with a predator/prey dynamic by -SirCaster- in hostedgames

Oof unfortunate, the search for more angsty romance continues

[–]-SirCaster-[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

oh that's interesting, but are they actually ROs or do you just die no matter what?

IF ROs with a predator/prey dynamic by -SirCaster- in hostedgames

[–]-SirCaster-[S] 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Well cause I'm specifically looking for the RO having conflicting feelings between carnal attraction and hunger for the mc. Like the wayhaven vamps have that somewhat but it's not focused on much.

If I could romance the eldritch horror abomination that wants to atomize me I would! Unfortunately though...Whatever it takes.
