Play This: Twin Coves

Play This is a place for me to tell you about games or game demos that I love and want everyone to play! Right. Now.

Twin Coves is a paranormal romance meets murder mystery visual novel set in a small seaside town where you play a newbie private investigator. By Wisteria Games. Currently in Development. Play the demo here!

Honestly, that elevator pitch was all I needed to be fully invested. Urban Fantasy is one of my favorite book genres and it made me so happy to find a game exploring the tropes and trappings I adore. You want vampires? You want werewolves? You want sexy fae that give you magical tattoos (I don't have a fave yet what are you talking about)? You want...a guy with a guitar? This game has you covered!

Obvs, the game is likely to change from the demo but: play as Morgan (customizable name/gender/appearance maybe??), a freshly minted private investigator figuring out a day-to-day existence after the tragic loss of their mentor. The stakes start out high as we pick up this story in media res and Morgan can't catch a break as hits keep on coming. It probably says something about me that one of my favorite tropes of urban fantasy is the constantly escalating demands on the hero's attention and competing priorities. That and private investigators.

Get a taste of some of the 9 romantic options with a charcuterie board of romance tropes to pick from: second chance; enemies to lovers; strong and silent; hot neighbor; did I mention sexy, Billy Idol-esque fae?; werewolf daddy; vampire daddy

"And if you can't be on a first-name basis with an ancient vampire after he personally puts band-aids on your scrapes, when can you be?"

I'm looking forward to romancing them all--not always the case with large cast VNs.

The music is great. It's set in the 90s (swoon) and you can wear a leather jacket and Doc Martens (double swoon). There's an RO that calls you "kitten." But what really made me love the game: I got to play as a hot mess. Morgan's going through some shit and you have the option to not handle it great. As someone that has also gone through some shit and handled it poorly--well, I didn't realize I needed a game to explore it until I played a game that let me do just that. I would love to play through a character arc of healing and growth. And luhrve and smooches.

You get to order pizza and be addicted to coffee. This game is made for me!

Play the demo and tell me how much you love it! There are some content warnings for the game--please treat yourself with care if you choose to engage. It's fantastic and gorgeous and I'm so very excited to play the whole thing. Thank you for letting me ramble about a thing I love 🥰

I recently (ahem, yesterday-ish) started reading httyd fics, and i'm noticing there are a lot of Hiccup Runs Before The Final Exam, or he wasn't there to begin with (feral Hiccup ✨) but what if he doesn't start dragon training at all? Like, The Raid was his final opportunity to show that he isn't completely useless at Dragon Killing, and he butched it, snd he was close to dying again or smthng and Stoick stops hoping for Hiccup to be a Beefy Viking Killing Machine, and when they 'talk' on the stairs when Hiccup comes back from freeing Toothless, he tells him that Gobber needs some help in the smithy and that he might learn how to properly make the weapons or tools and that, yeah, there are enough vikings who fight dragons but there aren't enough weapons when they're used viciously on an almost daily basis against Tough Skin

TL;DR: Hiccup becomes a smith, doesn't do the dragon training at all, and he has a bit more time to spend with Toothless bc Gobber thinks he might feel bad about not getting a chance to Beef Out so he cuts him some slack for a little bit, and also the prosthetic might be better/go along faster bc now he's /supposed to/ use the forge, but also might not bc now he has an official job/apprenticeship

He falls further apart from the other teens, who half-think (mainly the twins say) that he died a brutal death or smthg bc now they barely see him, and only to give/get back their weapons/shields/armor when they need fixing; and he gets ever-closer to the Nightfury on his proverbial backyard

He gets good at Smithing, blablabla, meets the Mad Queen, blablabla, gets increasingly stressed thinking abt how to save his best friend, soul-brother, partner-in-crime, adoptive-dragon-parent from the Mad Queen, and Astrid starts noticing him bc he's smoother when he isn't paying attention to others at all and he really is better at smithing than anyone ever thought he'd be good at, well, anything

#httyd #hiccup haddock #toothless #stoick the vast #gobber the belch #fic prompt #bc the gods know that i will not write it but damn do i want to read it #idk how the fuck or why astrid ends up helping when she wasn't kidnapped by a petty dragon #or if she helps at all or hiccup pulls a Main Character thingy #but hiccup ends up beating the queen gaining a herd of dragons (his flock✨) and the other teens stop bullying him if only bc wth you #can control dragons??? and the twins at least are like Sike i want one too #idk #does berk ever find out? do they believe him? does he just free the dragons from the arena in the middle of the night right before #Astrid's Big Day and she just knows that he Messed Up somehow bc he always does and that's why she follows him to the cove and movie canon #folds out? #this extended clearly i needed to talk to someone lmao

Now I'm imagining pirate Obi-Wan grabbing his children when they jump in water and tossing them onto the shore because of Anakin's drama. They see it as a fun game, he is very stressed that everyone he loves keeps throwing themselves in the water when they can't swim. It is still unclear if Anakin can swim or not, he's not saying in case it lessens the threat...

i feel like obi-wan figures out Anakin does know how to swim because there’s a very bad storm one night and obi-wan goes overboard because of a surge of a wave, and anakin just jumps over immediately after his alpha and cuts through the water amazingly quickly and competently to grab him.

Later, Obi-Wan (who had been knocked unconscious) asks the crew who saved him and they tell him Anakin did and he’s like “that’s ridiculous Anakin can’t swim” and anakin rubs the back of his neck and grimaces and is like “yeah……..about that……”

#asks #but also omg obi wan and the twins…..beautiful show stopping amazing #they probably stop and drop anchor in a calm water cove so the entire pirate crew can teach the babies how to swim #Luke and leia and daddy and papa and so many uncles and aunts #squick tag: a/b/o #pirates of the caribbean au

Romance in Twin Coves

Something I've been thinking about while working on the script for Twin Coves is how the romance works. I think I've talked before about how the romance in the game isn't just about flirting with the ROs enough. It's about who the MC is as a person, and thus not all ROs are going to fall for every MC. (You will know about halfway though the game if your MC has caught your desired RO's eye.)

I read an article awhile ago about treating romance in games like kindness coins vs a house of cards. (The article was here, but it now directs to a 404 page sadly.) With kindness coins... you just say the "right" thing the correct amount of times and voila romance unlocked. And that's a fine way to do romance. Certainly makes it easier on the writer. But that's not really how romance... works.

Saying the "right" thing to someone 15 times in real life doesn't equal romance. What about who you are as a person? What about who they are? Do you have things in common? How do you treat other people? Just complimenting someone, saying flirty things, and giving them a gift isn't how real love works.

Something I'm trying (emphasis on trying) to do in Twin Coves is have the romances be based on more then just saying a nice thing to get a point towards winning over the RO of your choice. The choices the MC makes throughout the game outside of the romance also effect the romance. Even little things like the song they pick in the car.

Of course, some ROs are easier to woo than others. That's true to life as well. Some ROs already have feelings for the MC, so there is probably very little the MC could do to ruin that. Some ROs are quite determined to keep their feelings out of it, and will take more effort. Not just flirting, but getting to know them and them getting to know the main character back. Building up a sense of trust. There is one RO who is very difficult to romance. I think it may even make some players mad as there is a very strict requirement for entering into a romance with him I don't think some players will want to make. (Actually, there's probably a couple that fit this description.) However, that's also true to life. Some things are deal breakers, for either the MC or the RO. Good news: there's eight other routes to pick from!

And, in a similar vein, not every route is going to appeal to everyone. You may have thought Eli was hot, for example, only to realize he's not for you once you get to know him. Or maybe a route you thought you'd hate will surprise you. That's definitely happened to me a few times. I put off a route thinking I wouldn't like the RO... only for that route to become my favorite.

This is also why there are no flirt indicators in the game. Because there are no kindness coins. I don't want players to think about choices as right or wrong - only as what's true to their MC. You may be surprised as to who you attract. Also, any option that is romantic is going to be pretty obvious. I also don’t want players to feel they have to make a certain romantic choice to win their RO over. Whether you go in for a kiss or feel it’s more true to the MC to wait… the RO isn’t going to be secretly keeping score on you.

(I am keeping score though. Just don’t look too far behind the curtain. Point systems are the only way I know how to program. I just don’t want it to feel like a point system, ya know?)

And for those who just wanna kiss everyone, goddamnit!! There is always the walkthrough 💙

i might have an inkling. for my pyromancer. i'm allergic to the kind of hypercompetence all the falconreach a-listers have so um...i needed a way to make them a bit pathetic. I think 1) something is terribly wrong with their pyromancy, making them a spitfire liability and a bodily hazard to more than just Doran (& the other ice elves). maybe the pyromancy and soulweaving aren't playing nice together. bit of a multiclassing send-up where the second spec just fucks up the character's whole thing for good. Also 2) they get by on sheer resourcefulness and elbow grease. perfectly mundane. Everyone's like omg this hero has hair as black as coal and eyes that burn like a thousand suns, they will surely rise phoenixlike out of this peril... and the subject of their sighs is just frantically lashing a rope ladder together and securing it with pegs and a mallet they Happened to bring along. very unromantic

#much like doran actually. she is kind of hypercompetent but her soulweaving is shit and her riftwalking is so scary good you don't notice it #so it looks for all the world like she's just a boring ass swordhaven suit of armor with a couple of tricks up her sleeve #so anyway i think the pyromancer suits that pattern. they're also the one who taught Doran so yknow #the falconreach citizens are compelled to ask: are there any non-disappointing heroes around geeenguard? #the answer is no. there's ramiel (a grunt paladin deeply in love with the head of his order 👀) #his twin sibling zikiel; a she/they unlicensed necromancer who believes in the bit and only the bit #and miss misty of osprey cove! she's just a pirate. a crack shot with liver damage. idk. she wears a starfish in her hair #i wanna introduce the whole squad together at one point... #fabling

“AAAAAAAAHHHH!!” Jessie shouted. “Dude, keep it down,” Noah muttered. “I just got this place, I don’t wanna be kicked out.” “Your baby is coming, you assho--aaaaAAAAAHHHHH!”

Jessie clutched at her stomach and spun around to hold a tiny baby boy. She smiled at the tiny baby who cooed slightly. “Oh my god,” she said with a sigh. “He’s perfect!”

Jessie handed her son over to Noah, who looked down at him a little confused. “Uhhhh,” Noah said, holding the infant. “You sure this kid is mine?” “What!?” Jessie exclaimed. “Of course he’s yours!” “He’s lookin’ a little pale,” Noah muttered. “Don’t you understand genetics, you stupid foo-----oooooohhhh!!!!”

Jessie grabbed her stomach again, spinning around to hold yet another tiny baby, nearly identical to the first. You could hear a pin drop in the bedroom.

Noah looked from the baby in his hands to the baby in Jessie’s hands. Twins. As a twin, whose father was a twin, whose grandmother was also a twin, it felt fated that he would also have twins. The kids were definitely his. 

“This is so crazy,” Noah said, bouncing his son up and down. “How the hell are we supposed to tell them apart?” “Leo has black eyebrows and Rory’s are brown,” Jessie said, as if the answer were obvious. “You expect me to remember that!?” Noah asked.

Despite the fact that he was dead broke, had a shitty job, and a tiny apartment, Noah was sort of looking forward to being the dad of twins. Jessie lived in the apartment right above him, so co-parenting wouldn’t be too difficult. At least he hoped.

“Black eyebrows means Leo,” Noah muttered to himself, holding one of the twins. “Or was that Rory?” One of his sons, whoever it was, gurgled at him in response.

Noah squinted his eyes and leaned in. “Wait, are these black or dark brown?” Noah said. “God, this is going to be a damn nightmare.”

Noah put the twins to bed, exhausted from an overwhelming day. He might not have known which was which, but he loved Leo and Rory with all his heart already.

#Zarro legacy #generation 7 #generation 8 #birth #Noah #Leo #Rory #Jessie #Belladonna Cove #technically these babies are different than the ones that i have now :( #because these pics are from before my computer exploded #so i had to force jessie to have twins over and over until they looked like the ones i had before #lost forever to the ether #i wonder what they're doing #out there like wanda maximoff's lost kids

Torturous//bully!weasley twins x afab!reader

CW: mentions past bullying, reader is a hufflepuff and goes through puberty summer before 7th year. Later on, this story will contain dark content such as nonconsensual sex, abuse, and manipulation. Read at your own risk!

word count: 1k

Never in your life did you think you would turn into the young woman you were today. Sure, you weren’t as beautiful as your mother (although she would say differently), but you were impressed with how you filled out the summer before your last year at Hogwarts. It wasn’t unknown that you were a late bloomer, but better late than never, right?

Maybe you would even find yourself a boyfriend, you thought as you finished packing your suitcase. It was the night before you left home for school. You never got over the excitement of getting to finally see your friends again and your favorite professors.

With a squeal, you rolled into bed and coved the majority of your face. Staring up at your ceiling, a feeling of dread washed over you. The twins. How could you forget? The thought of your peaceful summer coming to an end made you sigh. They were your worst nightmare. That’s the one thing you were worried about and it was enough to even make you reconsider going this year. But alas, it was your last year. Just one more and you would be free from the tortures they put you through… forever.

You giggled softly as one of your friends pointed as Charlie, a cute boy in your house passed by your cart. He smiled at you and continued to make his way down the train. “You look good!” she said, wiggling her eyebrows. “I see your chest finally grew in,” her comment made you blush as you rolled your eyes. “Not as much as moms…. but I’m glad I finally look a little more my age,” you agreed, thoughts drifting back to Charlie. Maybe he would notice? You hoped.. he might even think you were cute and ask you on a date! I mean, you were both Hufflepuffs. The thought was enough to boost your confidence a little. A date with the cutest boy in your house, a girl could dream!

Your day dream was cut short by a hand snapping in front of your dazed face. “Wake up, love,” the deep voice spoke in your ear. You turned your head in horror to see the red head smirk. “Pleasure seeing you again, ay?” Fred teased and you scooted back towards the window. “Go away,” was all you managed to squeak out before he laughed. Winking at you, he followed his brother down the aisle. You grimaced.

“You have got to stand up for yourself this year! It’s bad enough you let them torment you, but this year will be different. You can’t let the bullying happen anymore, y/n….” but you weren’t listening to her, only thinking about how uncomfortable you felt with his face next to your head. It wasn't the first time Fred had gotten in your face, usually to spew nasty words at you, but it was the first time you felt a burn in your lower stomach. You weren’t sure what it was, maybe how much taller and muscular he was now or the fact that he finally got a much needed haircut, but the feeling slowly pooled up inside your underwear. “This year will be different for sure,” you mumbled as the train's horn shot through the air.

Later that night as you ate dinner after the sorting hat ceremony, your eyes drifted back over to where Fred and George were sitting. The both of them were laughing with some sixth-year Gryffindor; she was twirling her hair and giggling in between them. You almost felt jealous of her, but chalked it up to you never really catching the eye of any boy your age. Actually, the twins were the only ones who ever gave you any kind of attention. 'Just the shitty kind,' you grumbled to yourself. Deciding it would be smart to have an early night, so you left the Hufflepuff table and made your way to your common room.

The empty walls were cold and the air almost felt damp from the pouring rain outside. You shivered and hugged your arms around your freezing body, feeling the goosebumps littering your arms. It almost hurt; it felt like your body was in fight or flight by the way your heart was racing. You were actuall starting to get nervous as the feeli-

"Hello there,' a voice said in your left ear, making you quickly turn your head. Nothing. "Over here," it said again to your right. There they stood leaning against each other. "i'll say, y/n... you've grown," George chuckled and made a point to look at your chest. Fred snickered and walked forward taking a handful of your hair. "We missed you, love," he said using the nickname he's always called you. You rolled your eyes, "I'm sure you did, Fred, but now isn't the time." you tried to sound unintimidated, but you were sure they saw right past that.

Your hand came up to grab Fred's wrist, but George caught it before you could. "Watch yourself, we just wanted to say hello," he spoke sternly with amusement in his eyes. Fred tugged your hair a bit to the side before letting go. "George and I were bored all summer without little y/n to keep us company. I'm excited for all the fun the three of us will be having... especially now that you've finally grown into a young woman," he winked and the two of them made their way towards their common room, leaving you sweating despite the air's temperature.

Laying in bed that night you wondered what the twins had meant. Sure they messed with you every year, but something about their tone scared you even more than usual. What had you going through puberty have anything to do with it. You had a feeling they had something sinister planned, and with a gulp you rolled over and tucked the blanket up over your head. 'This year will be different. This year will be different,' you chanted over and over till you fell asleep while down in the Gryffindor common rooms, the twins smiled knowingly at each other. They finally had their toy back in their grasp, only they were going to end this year with a bang.

Thank you for reading! I'm excited to continue this story!! i’m having fun with it:)
