Backyard Skulls

11306970144_183990002f_o.jpg

This game is best played in full-screen.

Written for Gothic Novel Jam 2018

Charles Blackwood happens upon a deed for the cliff-side manor known as Gethen Manor, a manor owned by a former mistress of his, Katherine Thorndale.

Attached to the deed is a letter from Miss Thorndale, expressing how she wishes they'd not drifted apart, and inviting him to live in the manor.

Suspicious, he ventures off to find the manor in a neglected state, the once well-tended garden now an overgrown mess of dead, dried up grass, long wilted trees and odious plant remains.

As he explores the manor, he uncovers the manor's secrets. Secrets that, for him, would be better off forgotten.

a mysterious face...
a betrayal...

(another one of these. after the events of the american election, everyone should probably familiarise themselves with survival techniques for horrible cyberpunk dystopias. all material used was stolen/repurposed from google images)

MOTORCYCLE MAN

motorcycleman.jpg

there aren't enough games about motorcycle gangs out there - this is my attempt at rectifying that. you are MOTORCYCLE MAN! gather up your boys and pull wheelies across the burnt out landscape of post-apocalyptic america.

had to make (my first!) twine game for a university class a couple of weeks ago, so thought i'd upload it. i kind of want to make a sequel but that'll only be truly viable when i figure out how to implement MGS V-style base management into twine. god bless

Tiny Cave *Deluxe Edition*

tiny cave cover.jpg

I started writing this before the finale but didn't get a chance to finish until like 5 hours after. Geez I'm slow. Anyway this is a quasi-remake of my old game, Tiny Cave. They don't have that much in common, though, they're only very similar in one branch. It's an Evil Dead/Evil Dead 2 situation. Anyway, it's got jokes, Gravity Falls references, and a very odd cameo appearance by a famous classic author, so try it out!

You Have to Put the Mystery in the Kid's Cartoon

noun_in_noun cover.png

Another installment in SoftSoft's venerable "put the thingy into the other thingy" series. This one's an allegorical representation of Alex Hirsch, putting mystery into his kid's cartoon so that folks everywhere and everywhen could enjoy it. It's also the installment that took the longest to make, because I kept adding in these like "unique parser responses" and "Gravity Falls in-jokes". I may update later in the week with more, but for now, just enjoy it for what it is. Remember, you need an interpreter program like Gargoyle or Windows Frotz to play the Z-code file.

A WarioWare-style Twine-style recreation of Go West, with several passages removed out of necessity. Thanks for participating, Cycle!

There's also a Vine walkthrough in case you get stuck on one of the many tricky puzzles.

You are a Blob! (a SoftSoft Twine game)

This year I decided to enter Ectocomp, a yearly Halloween competition hosted by someone in the IF community (yes, I know this overlaps with the IF Comp, I dunno either). You can read more about it here. I downloaded Twine and everything just for it too.

You are a Blob actually wasn't my first game idea (a choice-based adaption of "Jacked Up Jack-o-Lantern" from the Regular Show Trilogy of Terror 3), but an eight-year-old was getting cold feet about entering, so I vowed to make a game so crappy it would make everyone else's game shine like gold! Which turned out to be no small feat, because everyone and their mother entered a game (or two) this year, for a grand total of 24 entries. But I think I gave it a good run.

If you like this game, please consider downloading (and judging!) the whole set. You can play most of these games through an interpreter like Gargoyle.

The Sad D00d

sadd00d.gif

A lot went into this run of the sad d00d and I'd say a good 8 years of work is what is at exhibit here.. You have interactive fiction at.. Well, I don't know about its finest, but it's applicable. You're this d00d, and like he's sad... what do you do? There are at least 5 threads for each choice, and you have the opportunity to add to it...

Sad d00d could end up anywhere, there's so much missing here, so much that should be parsed, and yet it is all in tact and should stay on the side.

    And it even includes its own unfinished traditionally done illustrations with charcoal and pastels.

Being that the story has been mainly a collaboration of exchanges between me and the older ug, it is my honour to present it on ice, The Sad D00d. Paste discussion below as well, add if you're intrigued, and the visual aid is on the first few pages. Any more and I'd be giving spoilers. -BC_
