Domestic Dread (Visual Novel)

Created by: epykslion, Leo Azari

Genre: Horror/Mystery

Dang, it's pretty cool to see epykslion make a game since I've only seen him play yandere (and horror) vns most of the time, but here we are! Domestic Dread is made for the #72HourMurderboyMayhem so currently it's in a demo state, but it does have a moment where you can bake cookies with the main guy, so that's always fun. It has an air of mystery to it that makes it pretty exciting. You can learn about it more here at @domesticdread.

Vinny is the default name for the MC so I will be referring to them as such.

The story starts out with Vinny waking up in a bed. Unable to remember who they are or what they are doing here, they end up freaking out when they realized that they're in a cabin above the mountains. A man they don't recognize comes to see them, worried about their condition, and introduces himself as Marcelo. He explains that Vinny's boyfriend, Brandon Cooragain was the one who almost got them killed, then explaining how much of a jerk he was. He gets Vinny to follow him to the living room where we see Brandon, beat up and tied up on the floor. He tries to get Vinny to kill Brandon, but they refuse, causing Marcelo to get angry. He calms down and proceeds to leave as he has something he has to do first, telling Vinny to clear their mind before deciding what to do next.

If Vinny decides to follow Marcelo, we get to see Marcelo taking out burnt cookies. Regardless of if Vinny tries to eat them or tries to throw them away, Marcelo apologizes for his outburst and bring them back to the living room.

If Vinny decides to check the room, they will find a journal detailing their past, which reveals that Marcelo was telling the truth about Vinny complaining about how much of a jerk Brandon was. However, they also realize a lot of their complaints were pretty menial and can't seem to believe that they would want to kill Brandon over something so insignificant.

If Vinny decides to check in the bedroom where they woke up, they'll find a scrapbook with Brandon and Vinny together hanging out. We find out that Brandon was about to marry Vinny before the incident happens, which makes Vinny question about what's actually going on.

When Marcelo comes back, it's time to make a decision.

If Vinny decides to kill Brandon, they will stab him repeatedly with the knife, causing him to wake up and scream as he dies. Marcelo comforts Vinny afterwards as they're still in shock after killing Brandon.

If Vinny refuses, then Marcelo will kill Brandon in front of them. Marcelo reprimands Vinny for always choosing others before themselves, with Marcelo having to fix everything afterwards. He tells Vinny that he won't stand for this and will make the decisions for them.

If Vinny remembers after reading the scrapbook, then refuses to let anything happen to Brandon or Marcelo. Vinny is able to prevent Marcelo from stabbing Brandon.

Starting out, it's really cool to be able to see a mystery like this unfold for us since even with the pieces of finding out that Vinny has been complaining about Brandon and finding the scrapbook of Vinny and Brandon, it's not completely clear on what Vinny felt for Brandon, but it is implied that it's not nearly as bad as Marcelo makes it out to be. Still though, there is a lot of contradictory evidence on what Vinny actually feels for Brandon, though it is noted that Marcelo's reasoning on why he might be helping VInny carry out what's happening isn't necessarily a lie, but something that has been built up for a while, as noted by the notebook filled with complaints that VInny had. Still though, like Vinny noted, a lot of the complaints were very small offenses that shouldn't amount to Brandon dying. So either Vinny was a very petty person or Marcelo is blowing things out of proportion. Or it might be a secret third thing! Who knows.

It's pretty obvious that Marcelo is likely using Vinny's amnesia as a way to get rid of Brandon, though it's likely just to pull through from before Vinny lost their memory, since it does mention that the two end up going in the mountains somewhere. Its kind of cute (?) that Marcelo ends up trying to make cookies for Vinny before they woke up though it does seem pretty nonchalant considering that Vinny kind of just lost their memories and could possibly have sustained brain damage or just have never woken up but I guess it could be just something that Marcelo is just trying to take care of. That being said there's still a high probability that Marcelo somehow convinced Vinny to get rid of Brandon in some capacity and is now using the amnesia to go through with it, either with Vinny killing him themselves or Marcelo killing him Either way, the three of them are stuck on a cabin on top of the woods so they're basically in self confinement.

Overall though, while a short demo, a pretty interesting premise. I'm curious to see where this will all lead up to and what Vinny as a person was, and what their relationship between Marcelo and Brandon were.

can you make a list of your top indie horror game recs ::3

yeah! so these wont be in order of what i like the most, they're just going to be here in whatever order I think of them. i'm also trying to go with what I think are more lesser-known ones, and if one is more popular it'll because I think it's one people write off that are actually good. as i'm writing this i'm going back up to say the descriptions for these will become less detailed because i got tired and cant keep repeating the art!! the atmosphere!!

Scarlet Hollow: A heavily choice-based horror mystery visual novel about going back to Scarlet Hollow- a small town in south historically ran by your family- for the funeral of your late aunt. its episodic and there are currently only 4 of the 7 episodes out. even with just them it is my favorite game. I love the writing and the art and the whole atmosphere of the game AND the soundtrack brought Brandon Boone (the composer) into my top 5 artists in my spotify wrapped last year

Slay the Princess: Another choice-based horror visual novel (and dating sim!) by the creators of Scarlet Hollow where you are tasked with, well, slaying the princess to prevent the destruction of the entire world. It's only a demo right now-releasing q3 of this year- but I'm excited for the whole game! my selling point for it with my followers is that the narrator (and some other characters) are voiced by Jonny Sims and hey podcast fans you like him check out this game

Endacopia: A click and point horror game inspired by Humongous Entertainment games such as Pajama Sam. Currently also a demo and set to release in October of 2024, I can not emphasize enough how excited I am for it. The game's style is so fun and there's lots of little details and the music??? There's two musical numbers in the demo alone. Some of the style and writing also reminds me of Undertale and even Homestuck somewhat (I say as someone who hasn't read homestuck)

FAITH: The Unholy Trinity: This is an 8-bit style horror game inspired by the 1980s Satanic Scare coming in 3 chapters with multiple endings, a very good example of games not needing high-end realistic graphics to be scary

Doki Doki Literature Club: Glances at my icon. who could've seen this one coming. I feel like most people know about ddlc by now, even if they don't know anything past "horror anime dating sim". It starts off for a long while a seemingly normal, if bland, visual novel dating sim until-seemingly suddenly- twisting into psychological horror. There's, however, a lot of foreshadowing once you see the beginning again after knowing what will happen. Honestly I think this games brilliant and its such a shame it somehow got lumped in with "cringe" mascot horror (its not even a mascot horror game?). For me a lot of the horror comes from the amount of scares left up to a random percentage- and how subtle a lot of them are. You can replay it and have a fairly different experience than you did the first time- and be scared by completely new things. There's also this existential and cosmic horror element that is less one you experience while playing it, i think, and more thinking about it afterwards. This isn't even touching on a lot of the secrets and easter eggs. a few years after the original game came out, Doki Doki Literature Club Plus was released, and it leaves the og game experience essentially untouched while adding a new vn experience the length of the og game (thats seemingly horror-less) as well as some more lore to the world, not of the game, but around the game, and builds more on the existential/cosmic horror. Needless to say from the length of this, I adore this game. also take the content warnings seriously, in the (free) og the game opens with warnings and a link to a page with specific tws, and in ddlc+ you are given the options to see those warnings listed before starting the game, as well as the ability to turn on tw pop-ups before game events

Home Safety Hotline: Also currently a demo, a horror game where you work for a home safety hotline, answering calls to help people deal with pests and other household problems. as the game progresses you get some more... off-putting calls and access to more unusual problems. I love games that put you into the role of someone who works a mundane job dealing with horrifying shit (similar reasoning to why I like the I'm On Observation Duty games, which I think are more popular rn than I want to put on this list)

NiGHT SIGNAL: By the same creator of Home Safety Hotline, this one's a short one about getting a new tv set and finding some strange channels during the night, inspired by The Twilight Zone and a 1995 game, The Dark Eye. A lot of the art in the game is done with clay which creates this really nice uncanny look and atmosphere- details about which you can see in an artbook you unlock after playing the game, which is REALLY cool I adore seeing the creativity behind and what goes into games like these.

and there's a bunch more I like, these are just the ones off the top of my head and I also dont feel like typing a bunch more dfnafnsk I'll also say if yall haves one you really like that I havent mentioned feel free to send an ask talking about them

#ask #anonymous #I'll ramble off a few more um #WATER WOMB WORLD is really good but I think a lot off ppl know Yames's games. Darkness Under My Bed I haven't played myself or seen too #too much of but I loved what I saw. Cooking Companions I played the demo and enjoyed but I havent played the full game though I plan on #doing so. Future Racer 2000. Cave Crawler. The Missing Parts of Maria Gwozdek. Out of Hands I've also only seen part of but I think slays #long post #I also have a BUNCH of itch horror game pages bookmarked to play

(And Questions You Might Ask)

I. General Questions

⭐️️ When is the next update?

You’re not the only one with that question! I wanna know too.

⭐️️ Are you planning to turn the game into a Visual Novel?

Yup, but ideally I want to finish Volume 1 first. It’s still very much in the early stages, so I will keep updating the Dashingdon demo for now. Stay tuned for more updates! Edit: After I finish the missing scenes in Chapter 5, I'm heavily considering beginning development on the VN. Depending on how well that goes, I may or may not finish the rest of Volume 1 in ChoiceScript.

⭐️️ What is “In Auctorem Credimus”?

In Auctorem Credimus (IAC) is a "sidquel" short story I made for the Interact-IF game jam, which won 1st Place in the Story and Plot Category! Please note that it contains very heavy spoilers for DDWCaPH! (Volumes 1 to 4) and is told from an adult's perspective. If you're getting a little impatient with exploring the story worlds, or are curious to know what you can expect later in the story, you can play In Auctorem Credimus here! (Please note that I plan to polish and update IAC in the future!)

⭐️️ How long will the game be?

The current outline for DDWCaPH! is planned to have at least 6 volumes (one for each story world). There will be more than 6 volumes, I just haven't planned them out yet! Volume 1 is currently planned to have 8 chapters, with Chapter 6 split into two big branches.

⭐️️ When will the adventure start happening?

The fieldtrip will begin in Volume 1 Chapter 7, while the actual story world exploration starts in Volume 2.

⭐️️ Can I make fanart/fanfiction?

Absolutely! I would love to see your creations, and hear more about your twins! (Please mention @ddwcaph-game and tag #ddwcaph and #dear diary we created a plot hole)

⭐️️ I found a bug/typo/plot hole! Where should I report them?

Please report them in the forum thread or through the ask box!

II. MC and MC's Twin

⭐️️ Can the MC be older than 12?

The MC will turn 13 during Volume 6, and you may be able to play as an older MC in later volumes. I already aged the MC up from eight years old—twelve is the highest starting age I can set the MC. If you want to play as a teenager, there are plenty of other games where you can play as one. If playing as a child makes you uncomfortable, this isn’t the story for you.

⭐️️ Will there be a sequel where the twins are in their teens/adulthood?

Yes! Currently I have no concrete plans for the story past Volume 6, but I am definitely interested in writing the kids as grownups in the future. Check out this old ask for more info about the kids as grown ups.

⭐️️ Can the twins be identical?

I'm sorry, but the twins being fraternal is relevant to the plot (for the same reason why they have different eye and hair colors), and the story wouldn't work anymore if that were the case. I also find the dynamic of fraternal twins more interesting to write, and identical ones are a little over-represented in my opinion.

⭐️ Is the MC a Filipino?

Yes. However, there is a choice in the prologue where you can choose if they are half-Filipino. The country MC's father is from isn't relevant to the story, so you can freely headcanon where he's from.

⭐️️ Can I play as the MC’s Twin?

Right now there aren’t any plans where you can actually play as your twin, but there might be scenes in the future where the POV will be from your twin (or another character) with very limited choices.

⭐️️ Can I headcanon X or Y?

Most likely! I don't have a problem with most headcanons, as long as they don't actively contradict anything major—there's no way for me to accommodate that. I also try to keep some choices general enough to leave some room for headcanons. Feel free to let me know what your headcanons for your twins are!

III. Crush Options

⭐️️ Who are the crush options?

The available crush options are currently: Wayne, Roselyna, JM, Lily, Brandon/Beatrice, Cordelia, and Chamyrrha. At least two more crush options will be revealed later. If puppy love is not your thing, each character has a friendship route which has similar scenes, so you won’t miss out on anything. You can check the character page to learn more about them! (Click here for a mobile friendly version) More information can be found in the MC’s diary in-game, with additional secrets unlocked if you choose them as your bestfriend.

⭐️️ When will we meet the other crush options?

You will meet Cordelia in Volume 2, and Chamyrrha in Volume 5, while the other two unrevealed crush options will be in Volume 4 (although one of them might appear in Volume 3 instead). Please note that due to their nature, the side characters will appear later in the story and you won’t be able to meet them again until Volume 6. These are the only ones planned for now, there might be changes or new ones later in development!

⭐️️ Can I have a crush on more than one character?

Yup! However, you can only confess and have one “mutual crush” at a time. You can find more information about how mutual crushes work on this post. I’m not comfortable with anything poly-related with a young MC, but the concept will be explored in one of the story worlds!

⭐️️ If I don’t have high Charm or the [Romantic] trait, am I locked out of having a crush?

Nope! You’re not locked out of having a crush as long as you don’t have the [Not Interested] or [Cootiephobe] Traits. The [Romantic] Trait just unlocks special interactions. You will be able to change these traits in later volumes.

⭐️️ Will the MC’s Twin have any crushes?

Probably not. It just further complicates things with the MC, and it doesn’t really add anything thematically. If the twin has the heart locket, they might have a crush on a minor side character, but I probably won’t focus on it.

IV. Choices

⭐️️ Why are some of the choices grayed out?

This most likely means you didn’t meet the requirement, but choices that are marked with "🚫" are actually a part of the MC’s thoughts, and are intentionally unpickable. You can’t decline the first quest, for example.

⭐️️ Why do my twin and I have different dream job/class choices?

The suggested classes are based on your birthday wish and favorite genre, while your twin is based on the locket shape they are wearing. If none of the classes fit your characters, you can type in whatever job/class you want! This also has the benefit of letting you choosing the stat bonuses.

⭐️️ Is there a guide on how to get the achievements and where to find the secrets and trinkets?

Most of the achievements can’t be achieved yet, but for now, check out the Trinkets and Secrets Guide!

⭐️️ How do the personality stats work?

I am currently rewriting the Personality Stats Guide! If you're curious about how the stats are calculated, you can check out this post!

Now it's your turn to ask a question!

If I haven't answered your question, feel free to send me an ask! Or you can look through the tags list to see my responses to previous questions.

For any asks concerning spoilers or the kids as adults, please send them to the In Auctorem Credimus ask page instead.

Please keep in mind that I have trouble answering "favorite" asks in general unless it's something I've already established. Asking if the characters would like a particular song is better than asking what their favorite song is, for example.

Begin your ask with “Dear Diary,” for bonus points and to let me know you read the FAQ! 😊

Sorry if I take a long while to answer asks sometimes. Unless it disappeared into the ether, I promise that I'm not ignoring any asks! You can check the late replies tag if you sent an ask long ago.

“You really… shouldn’t keep pursuing me. People who stick around always end up gone or… twisted.”

After growing interested in getting to know your new neighbor, E, they continue to give ominous warnings not to try and get closer. Warnings be damned! If they wanted to scare you off, they’ll have to try harder than that! Besides, no one around them seems twisted at all!

—

“TWISTED” is a future horror erotica game following your attempt to become important in the life of “final girl” (hold the “girl”) E, as well as the lives of those in their circle. Currently, it will have two main romances to focus on while containing 3-6 extra romance options further in development.

It uses existing horror erotica characters from the mind of @cappa-cappa (and singular by beloved friend who has given free reign of their character) who would rather play around with this concept than work on their preexisting VN project while their programmer’s computer is broken.

This blog is mostly at the current point to explore the dynamics and potential plots and character personalities as well as to collect any content/fanart of E or The Musketeers interacting with character from other VNs of the same or similar genres.

THIS BLOG AND THE GAME ASSOCIATED IS FOR AN 18+ AUDIENCE EXCLUSIVELY. MINORS DO NOT INTERACT.
