A Long Weekend - Tumblr Posts
Hi lovelies! ♥
I'm an author of traditional and interactive fiction, and I'm currently working on two projects in ChoiceScript. One is a science-based apocalyptic horror, while the other is a romantic drama set in Naples, Italy. This blog will mostly be about my works in progress!
I have, however, already published a short introspective drama in ChoiceScript, which can be found here.
I will soon set up a page for each of them on here, but in the meantime, here is a brief introduction:
After Dark
While the heavy industry is more active than ever, the effects of global warming are evident, with higher temperatures, dying bees, and animals acting weird. After Dark is a scientifically accurate apocalyptic horror. You’re tired of zombies rising from the ground for no reason? You don’t believe in ghosts? Glittering vampires aren’t for you? Then you have to try one of the three different stories that unfold in After Dark. When a global pandemic starts to transform people into dangerous monsters, which path will you choose? Will you fight for humanity? Will you stay for your family? Or will you run away in search of a better future?
The In-Between
You’re an introverted college student, studying modern languages at a famous university based in Naples. You live a seemingly ordinary life with your parent and younger sibling, as no one knows the truth about your past side business—a dark, illegal one. You thought you had finally escaped that world, but when your younger sibling falls seriously ill, your only hope is your wealthy ex-lover: an attractive mobster, charming and dangerous in equal parts...
Tell me, which one appeals to you most? 😁
bro I want to say that I really enjoyed your long weekend!!! You're so good! but for god's sake I've played it three times and the ending still isn't what I thought it would be💀 so please tell me what can I do to make my MC have a good ending, I'm starting to doubt that my MC actually was originally no good ending lol
Hi! I’m really glad you enjoyed A Long Weekend!
I had written a short guide on the forum, but it didn’t attract much interest, and since it’s quite a bit of work, I didn’t finish writing the walkthroughs. Let’s see if I can help you here now!
First of all, let me ask you a few questions (sorry if they’re a bit basic, but I’m basing this on my past experiences!):
Do you check the stats while you play? Right from the start, there’s not much, but you do need to keep an eye on the "Mind" and "Energy" bars!
Do you try to balance Mind and Energy? What values do you reach toward the end of the game?
Do you meet Alex? If so, what are your choices?
Do you generally choose "passive" actions? Like, staying in bed, not going out, etc.?
Do you generally choose "jealous" actions? Like, checking the photos, calling the bff, writing a negative email, etc.?
By understanding your playstyle, I can guide you a bit better in the right direction!
Thanks for playing A Long Weekend and for reaching out to me about it ♥
I tried checking the stats carefully like you said and I succeeded on the 5th try! and I'm really satisfied😆 really like your game, you're really talented!!! Looking forward to your next products🤩
Yay! I’m glad you made it! Can I ask which ending you got? There are seven in total ☺
Thank you so much for your kind words! I don’t have any other published games at the moment, but you can follow my works in progress here on Tumblr (check the tags #After Dark and #The In-Between on my blog), on the forum (After Dark and The In-Between threads), and generally on Patreon (with the #Hope Abides exclusive as well). You can also stay in touch via Discord if you’d like!
I have In The Embrace Of Dionysus and your game really means a lot to me lol it reminds me of my dream of wanting to help people with psychological problems and continuing to work hard in making that dream come true,hope that this time next year I will graduate the university and become a pychologist😆😆😆
Good luck with your degree! If you approach the profession this way, I can already tell you’re going to help a lot of people.
I have so much admiration for therapists, so I’m truly honored by your words. Thank you for sharing all of this with me!
How tf did I miss you are the author of Long Weekend??? I loved this game! And I love the in between as well, the story is just so unique!
Also a setting not in the america <3 love italy, need to visit again.
How kind of you to say that, thank you!! A Long Weekend got quite a bit of criticism for being too realistic and dramatic, so when I receive compliments about it, it kind of heals my heart a little, lol.
I'm really happy that you're also enjoying The In-Between! I don't know if you've ever visited Naples during your travels, but all the places mentioned are real :)
woah holy shit, YOU'RE the author of A Long Weekend??? Omg, that was one of the first if games I ever played!! It was so long ago, and I was wondering like a week ago where it was and who wrote it! I really liked A Long Weekend, it felt like a very good introduction into a new obsession
Thank you so much, it’s so nice to read something like that—I’m speechless 😭
Since your message is anonymous, I can’t tell if you follow me or have already interacted with some of my posts, so I'm sorry if this is something you already know—but have you seen my work in progress The In-Between? It’s not exactly the same thing as A Long Weekend, but it’s a drama IF with romantic elements, so you might like it!
I'm just now seeing this fanart, and it honestly fills my heart! 😭
You’re super talented, thank you for drawing them!!! ♥
A Long Weekend. My MC Ezra and his co-worker turned lover Alex.
Hi! Love your games, your writing style is really unique <3
I have to ask, will you continue your guide on the "a long weekend" endings? No matter what I do, I can't reach a good ending :(
Hi! Thank you, I really appreciate it ♥
I didn't think there was still demand on the guide, actually! Sure, I will work on it in the next few days.
In the meantime, maybe this could be helpful. Please, let me know if you manage to get the ending you want to achieve! ☺
