More interactive games

Writing Journal: Progress has been good on The Adjusters #65. Now that I know what Book VI is all about—a realization that struck me two weeks ago—it's going a lot faster. I will not have it ready by March 1st, but should be done by next weekend. Then the conclusion of Book VI, and then on to Jenn to see how she's faring at the House of the Rising Sun.



I've actually been following a few interesting stories here and there, but I'll keep those for the next blog post, and instead point out a couple of interactive stories/games you should be aware of.

I came across this one practically by accident, but it's actually pretty good. Corrupting the Princess. As the author says: “You play as Marcus, a very successful businessman that is about to foreclose on a church when a very tempting offer is dropped in his laps by Aliane, the gorgeous high priestess.” I'll let you guess what the offer is.

Fugue has an ongoing interactive story that he's been giving previews for, Dollars and Sins, which should be pushing many of your mind control buttons. Just a preview, but promising. Interestingly, he is also publishing the straight up story that underlies the game. And that story is in some sense darker. Certainly, the protagonist in the story is a lot more straight up and casual about his use of his magic dollars. In contrast, you can almost feel a hesitancy in the protagonist of the game. Still, both are worth looking at.

Finally, one of my favorite smut artists, Alx, has a game out—really, a proof of concept for his larger game about Hogwarts which we're all really looking forward to seeing!—called Gargoyles: The Beast and the Bitch. Yeah, it's about the TV show Gargoyles. Yeah, I know. But give it a shot. You're welcome.

New Story: The Adjusters #64

Here is February's installment of The Adjusters, “Los Angeles, Part 3", wherein Daniel and Cindy continue their investigation of the Special running loose in Los Angeles.

As usual, comments welcome.

I'll also remind you that we have a Speculation Thread available for general discussion. (A thread which I read but do not comment on.)


The Adjusters #64 - Los Angeles, Part 3

Daniel Malcolm was numb. Had been for several months now. And part of him had known it. But the full extent of it did not strike him until now.

For all the craziness that Cindy Caprese—now Cindy Barnes—exhibited, she could be perceptive, and that night was an example of exactly that. Daniel Malcolm had worried that she might insist on heading back to her place to fuck—something he was surprised she had not clamored for yet, her insatiable libido usually out and about at the first sign of him—but she surprised him by asking him out to a casual dinner and then heading out to a movie.

That was exactly the kind of evening Daniel needed. It felt almost normal. He had not had normal in a long time. And meeting the women affected by the Special—because the latest victim made it clear that a Special was indeed involved—had been the final straw: Christina’s tragic behavior, Rebecca’s hospitalization, and of course, Samantha Royston’s complete transformation into a nymphomaniac with apparently no inhibitions.
