There's A Place
📍 DEMO (soon)
CONTENT WARNING: Project contains explicit language and sexual content. Viewer discretion is advised.
There's A Place (TAP) is a light-hearted slice-of-life text-based game set in a world where supernatural and non-supernatural beings live in harmony.
Want to check out a werewolf band? Earn a sweet bonus from a location brimming with potential? Hook up with a phoenix who dislikes your company? [Insert other plot logic gaps and coding nightmares]? There's A Place waiting for you…
"With just a tap, find a place that's more than apt"
There's the jingle that greets you at work almost everyday. With a tap, you find yourself moving to Serenia in your mid-20s to work at There's A Place, an event venue agency. Tengus almost losing it as a traffic marshal. Neon-lit diners with lamias serving alongside robot waiters. Werewolves manning beachside services. Nothing's out of the ordinary when you're living in the capital. But you're here to work. And with work comes great challenges, like that pesky sales target seemingly out of grasp. Luckily, there's a friendly (well, mostly) cast of characters to accompany you. Some pursuable, some will pursue you, mostly supernatural. Will you go places with your corporate achievements, new contacts, or both?
A customizable MC: Choose your species, appearance, and personality.
5 love interests & 3 side interests: Go places with a vampire, tengu, werewolf, mermaid, or witch. With a phoenix, another tengu, and a half-elf possibly dropping by. TAP shall not be responsible or liable for any consequences arising from interest development.
Lots of locations to explore: Upsell, upkeep, upfront full payment please. Discover new locations to make money off. Satisfy your clients with attractive deals. Maybe even explore each other's bodies while you're at it?
A new dev everything 🤡: Just, manage your expectations. Have none!
⚠️ Probably bland and boring, not by design but by ability. Not for those wanting to delve deep into supernatural lore or looking for angst/drama-loaded relationships, sorry. There are plenty of tasty ones out there!
Alipha Nyseth • 29F, Vampire • Looking for a wedding venue
Known as that gaming influencer with an ash blonde choppy lob, Alipha's well-loved for her humorous gameplays. With how chill and composed she is, one might wonder if she's really related to her siblings. You first met her under the setting sun, warm amber eyes following your every move.
Kaizer Okubo • 25M, Tengu • Looking for a venue for his company's D&D
Kaizer's ever-changing fashion style is a stark contrast to the permanent mischievous glint in his brown eyes. His quick wit and reliable grin earns him high trust with his company. His gaming expertise parallels his love for food, though you may know this from an interrupted dinner.
Maeve Raydon • 26F, Mermaid • Looking for new experiences
Extremely hands-on, be it at work or with friends. With her can-do attitude and attention captured by new ideas every other second, Maeve is a whirlwind of wavy hair and toned muscles. Her upbeat personality is only bested by her bright smile when she had asked for your preference.
Penn Tzeyk • 23NB, Werewolf • Looking for a baby shower venue
When they're not working up a sweat in their trusted athleisure wear, they're uploading a new baking video inspired by a family member. Penn's dark brown skin is often caked with flour and food colouring, a look they're proud of. They shrugged it off when you bumped into them and their cake.
Thaddeus Qerlart • 25M, Witch • Looking for a payrise
Usually described as a hard-ass despite his soft, chubby build, Thaddeus keeps a distance from just about everyone. His cranky mood may be attributed to long hours at work. All he wants is to live comfortably with his loved ones and maybe a cat?
Ages are in human years for most of our understanding.
the above is subject to changes. a short project to hopefully kickstart everything else. inspired by reddit user Professionalarsonis' writing prompt. some artistic liberties were taken. feedback / thoughts / whatever welcomed :)

So Paul likely wrote "She Was Just Seventeen" because of Sound of Music and "I am Sixteen Going on Seventeen."
Paul covered "Till There Was You" because he loved the Music Man.
John was inspired by West Side Story's "There's a Place for Us" to write "There's a Place"
John was inspired by Snow White's "I'm Wishing" for "Do You Want To Know a Secret"
But in 1969 Paul lied to Mal and said he'd never seen Wizard of Oz. And we know it's a lie because early on in interviews he was talking about the movie (if someone wants to find those quotes, be my guess)
Also because of this tape from god knows when in the early 60s
And by 1984 he was such a fan of Oz, he went to the filming of Return to Oz.
Paul was proud of his love of musicals, except Wizard of Oz.
Why?
"Friend of Dorothy"
Which, btw, John wrote a demo about
And if you don't know what "friend of dorothy" is
It's some of the oldest gay slang. Paul pretended to be clueless about shit like that, but he wasn't.
He was so scared of someone making the connection he literally said he'd never seen the movie.

emily gwen, the creator of the sunset lesbian flag that we’ve come to commonly use, still continues to live in poverty.
multi-billion dollar companies have used their design and made profit from it, and yet they have not seen a cent for their creation.
i’ve been friends with emily for years, and i have not once seen them be financially stable the entire time. i’ve seen them homeless, unemployed, starving. right now, they need our help more than ever.
please consider donating to emily’s ko-fi, especially if you’ve used their design to create something and profited from it.
