Slight spoiler for ending of season 2 

DO NOT READ IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO KNOW SPOILER


I have a theory so I found this thing where it shows the characters and gives information about those characters and other things like werecats, and werebirds. Anyways I have a theory that Roe is a tribrid because I read that usually tribrids die between or in there 20’s and in superstition season 2 Roe is taken by Azrael to meet Death him or herself.

WARNING SPOILER-FILLED SUPER LONG REVIEW (DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T WANNA GET SPOILED)

TL;DR: This story is one of those diamonds in a grand crevasse filled with rocks. I give it a 9/10.


First of all, I just wanna say that I've been looking for interactive fictions just to pass the time. I got here off of a recommendation thread on Reddit. So I'm gonna give an utterly honest review for this. I rarely give reviews to anything that allows for a review mostly because they don't impact my life in any way enough for me to give a damn about it. But seeing as I find myself giving this a lengthy review then the author clearly has done something right here. 


To the author, thank you for bringing all of your ideas from your mind to the physical world. It's one of those times where people stop to think that they're glad they were born at this specific time frame in the universe that allowed them to read this story. The plot is really damn, sizzling good. 

A lot of people have said the story is pretty linear. But you know what, even though I take a liking to complicated plots, I actually like this "linear" plot. It has some flaws to it in some parts of course but the way its written makes up for it. I can probably point out a few but they're actually very tiny you wouldn't even notice if you don't think twice or thrice.  The way the story is structured makes me recognize a few similarities it has to other fictions I've read. The part where Bradley asks Roe which anime he preferred, I immediately realized that the author was a person of culture (I hit subbed ofc). And it reminded me of Attack on Titan and how grim the overarching plot was with everything going wrong and with the way you dropped some subtle foreshadowing. It actually felt realistic reading it. If I'm going to describe it, it's like the love-child between the writing method of Wayhaven, almost the world building of AoT, the internet-cultured memery and Hebrew/Greek mythology. 

The thing I love about this is that there are moral dilemmas everywhere and they actually impact the story in the long run enough for me to consider "damn this went the wrong way, time to load up a save from ages ago" (I'm playing as a guy btw). That and because you ACTUALLY gave us the entire wheel to steer the story with and it draws readers in because it makes them feel like themselves and that they are included in the story (there are stories that feel like they're on autopilot so I'm pointing this out thank you). Most of the time it stops me to think up a prediction of what the next events might be and when I found out about Raum being a demon chasing Syd, a supposed "witch", I immediately thought something was fishy so I sat down and thought that maybe she was a princess of hell, maybe Lucifer's kid or some high ranking demon, either one of that because why would all hell break loose just to drag this woman back home if hell wasn't her home. And it pleased me to know that I was right. I've predicted numerous future events while reading (including Roe being an offspring of Death) and usually that throws me off because its predictable but lo and behold! - this one doesn't and it exhilarates me when I stop to think and predict. It's exciting! It makes me ask "and then what happens next?" One of the signs that let's me know the story is actually pretty good. 


I was wondering by the way. But this prediction is such a long shot, I wouldn't even know if I'll hit or miss because Book 3 isn't even out so ima just put it out here. When Roe had that dream of being in a forest and seeing his corpse self, I think I recall that part where the sky tears apart and he says that it looks like the world is some sort of snow globe and someone is trying to destroy it. Now, I don't know why but this really stuck with me. It's so... very oddly specific. I know that the choice of words in this story aren't something readers shouldn't bat an eye on. Because I have been searching up what the name Roe meant and apparently it means deer. So I searched up what deers were meant for in the Bible and it says that they're "devoted to God". Now I'm not one to drag religion into anything but seeing as there has been a mention of Lucifer and Death and Roe literally asking Syd if there was a God. This is also the reason why I found out that Zillah wouldn't hurt Roe. I literally looked up his name and it meant "protector" and the story confirmed it. So since the story confirmed it, I further went on to read about Shades and the shadow people and there I found a wikipedia page talking about a letter from Alexander Pope to the recently passed Nicholas Rowe. Now, isn't that interesting. I don't know if this is a coincidence but the letter literally contained the words that meant "put your shade to eternal rest" and I took that as a foreshadowing that Roe was indeed dying. Lo and behold again - I was right. The only thing I have been wrong about is Roe being created by the God of the world. Because I was thinking, Azrael was the Angel of Death but he told Roe something along the lines of "The destruction of the world owes itself to you". So why did Azrael say this is what stumps me. Did he fear death? And I just assumed that he was the grim reaper himself but I later learned at the end that there was indeed Death himself and Azrael was just an "Angel" OF death. Another thing that bugs me is Lust and possibly Azrael working together and that the release of Lucifer and Roe being an offspring of death has something to do with the Angel Prophecy. I speculated this but is God trying to destroy the world? If so, then the only way to stop him is Lucifer and Death working together? I understand if Lucifer doesn't want to destroy the universe but I don't understand why Death is meddling. Isn't he supposed to be a mediator? I realized then that since Death has to meddle with mortals then something bigger than Syd being sacrificed to release Lucifer or Roe being a reaper is bound to happen which rounds me back to a theory that God is trying to destroy the world including demons and angels. No one would be spared hence everyone is somehow working together to prevent it. Well let's just see how this prediction goes. As much as I want to be right, I enjoy being wrong a lot more. It just proves that there may be something better than what my mind can think of.


Lastly, I'm ending this by saying that: there is a huge potential in this, author and I know that you'll guide that potential to the right path.  Sure, everyone can pick up a pen, type on a keyboard and call it a story but not everyone can create a living, breathing world. The world you built feels real and the people in it feel alive, that's rare nowadays. I hope you know how much that distinguishes your story from the hundreds I have read. And I know Rahim has already said that classic stories were "too slow" and had unnecessary words put into them and I agree, definitely, simply because the modern english in your writing feels easier to read making it more engaging for the readers. 


I only ask that you take as much time as you need to write the next 3 seasons. Heck, I wouldn't really even mind if it took you until 2030 to wrap things up if you choose to because I want it to be in its most perfect form.  


Congrats, you created an entire universe! I would even go as far as to say that I would wanna see this as a movie/series or a game.  Keep up the great work.

Thank you for the review! And I'm so glad that you enjoyed it, truly. If you can give any examples to the downsides to better hope me understand then please send them my way!

Hello, author! Thank you for the reply. I didn't think you would since I assume you would be very busy writing the next book, so thank you :D 

I'll be glad to give some examples but I'll have to replay the game so I can give a thorough list of them and accurately specify which sentence/paragraph. Where can I send it? 

What is the thread on Reddit? I've read a lot of stories and am having a hard time finding new ones

(+1)

Hey I don't know if I'm the only one but I couldn't import my save using mobile devices, then I tried sending the file to my pc to import it there and it worked, so this leads me to believe that the import mechanic is broken on mobile devices. If what I'm saying is indeed true then I would like to ask the author or someone else to fix it please. Love the game btw. I'm hooked. 

i couldnt either

I solved the issue, I commented my solution on the comment section for season 1.

zillah is so hot lmao

He is lol

This series is awesome. Great story, characters and superbly written. Just wanted to say to the author: you ROCK! Thanks so much for sharing this <3 Now I’m gonna go and replay season 1 because I’m already missing Sydero lol Can’t wait for the next season! 

absolutely in love with this series, played through season 1 and 2 today, might play it again tomorrow <3

That is a really interesting theory. I also thought Roe might be half human, half reaper. I'm not sure about the whole Azrael possessing Roe's father tho, but I'd actually really like to know how you know all this. 😅

I've been thinking about watching Supernatural. I always thought it'd be all drama like other supernatural shows so I  never watched. I've watched Charmed but didn't know it was also an inspiration for this. I'll have to replay this again soon! 

Thanks for responding and taking the time to explain! I'm so sorry for the late reply. 

Deleted 1 year ago

The original Charmed tv show or the remake?

(+1)(-2)

Death and Azrael are different entities tho.

They are. Now I'm thinking Roe's father is Azrael. 

(+3)

Zillah didn’t kill Roe’s parents it was a different shade that Roe eould refer to as “Guardian” 

*would*

I've played both Superstition seasons 1 & 2, and I have been inspired to create my own twine story. Problem is, I don't know how to program a twine project. I am mildly to moderately proficient in CSS and JavaScript, but I'm not sure how to apply it to twine. Does anyone know where I could learn how to program a Twine project?

Also, what format was Superstition made in?

(+1)

Superstition is using the SugarCube format!

After choosing your story format, you should go and look for the documentary of it. This is SugarCube's:

https://www.motoslave.net/sugarcube/2/docs/

You will find information about the various macros / commands you can use. These vary between the various story formats.

Depending on your level of familiarity with coding, the language used can be a bit overwhelming at first or make complete sense from the get go. It is always useful to try the macros out yourself to see how they work.

If you choose SugarCube, you should also go and check out the amazing custom macros some dedicated people created, especially those by Chapel.

In terms of how to learn how to code a Twine project:

If you have a specific question, you can try to search it online to find a discussion on the old Twinery forum. There's also the subreddit r/twinegames where you can go to ask questions.

And of course the most valuable help at the start: Read the code of a few already completed stories. See how these authors set things up, what you would do differently and what you wouldn't have thought of. As the Twine project files are all saved as HTML files, you can open them in different programs like Notepad++ or Sublime once you've downloaded them.

I hope this helps a bit!

(This comment may contain spoilers. Reader discretion advised.)

I have a few important questions:

Is Death Roe's father??? Is Roe a reaper hybrid?! (By the way, having the title "Son of Death" would be awesome.)

Will Sydero still be a romanceable character in Season 3? 

Will Bradley recover now that Syd is back? 

Less important questions:

Why do do the angels all have sticks up their butts as they sit atop their high horses?

Where is God?

One more question: Who is Roe's real mother?

(+11)(-1)

Sooooo I can only answer some of these due to obvious spoilers of the future seasons.

1. Yes and yes.

2. She's a romanceable character period. Her absence in S2 is the only reason there's hardly any content but there are checks.

3. He was beginning to recover without Sydero. What happens with her back, can't say.

I won't answer the less important ones as of course those are spoiler lol. But all will be answered or at least explored lol. 

wait so... roe is confirmed the child of death? 👁👁

that’s cool

Oh my god, this game is so good. I love the interactive story where your choices can actually affect the outcome and I love the supernatural and romanc elements. I saw this game and played it without playing S1 first, and I was HOOKED! I had to go and play season 1, and now I have to play S2 again! :)
P.S: I CAN'T WAIT FOR SEASON 3!!!

(+1)

I just found this today and couldn't stop playing it! I absolutely love it! But I can't seem to import my previous game.

What are you doing to try and import it? You can answer here or send me an an email so I can try and figure out what's going on.

Sorry, nevermind. I figured it out and have been playing all day. 😅 I love the story, and all the characters. I can't wait for season  3! 🖤🖤🖤

Supernatural and Charmed were big inspirations and being a massive fan I included a few nods to the TV show :). Episode Three is named after the Charmed tv show as a nod as well.

Does anyone know when Season 3 is to start? Season 2 started coming out Feb last year, and the first in April the year before. Any chance this season will start coming out in the next few months?

Bought it. Thanks again for making this.

Loved this game so much, i cant even describe it. I cant wait till the next season comes out. I do have a question though. I paid for the Ye Olde Folly Faire and i was able to download it but when I go to actually run it, the game just appears as a white screen. Any advice would be appreciated cause im kind of a dumbass lol. 

(+2)

Nevermind i literally figured it out a minute later. Lmao

(+4)(-2)

Is there Season 3 & 4. ?? I really like this game.

(+6)(-2)

Not yet. Think S3 will start around August/September

(+1)

Really?  Yay. <3

can you tell me where you saw that? thank

(1 edit) (+1)

The author said not to expect anything till 2021 sooooooo hopefully we get that season 3 

Oh, i hope we get season 3, i love this story so much. 

(+2)

I really like this type of games, and this is one of the best ones I know of. It had me in deep and I was so hooked to it. Can't wait for the next season!

(+2)

Absolutely hooked. I didn't think I'd end up liking this as much as I did-the characters are very well written and you can clearly get a feel for their personalities. The story isn't predictable but is also very easy to follow and get invested in. I'm anxiously awaiting more adventures! 

(+4)

I found your stories fairly recently and lemme tell you I'm HOOKED! Your writing and world building are top notch, and i'm so excited (and slightly scared) to see what's coming next on book 3! And may i just say that Amari owns my heart and soul that's all.

Thank you for this <3

(+1)

I came across this randomly and I have to say, I absolutely loved it. Looking forward to the third season!

(+5)

Okay you GOTTA chill out on writing good stuff, I have an appointment in need to get ready for and I am having a hard time breaking away from it. This isn't fair. I'm gonna be late. Q.Q 

You're awesome, thank you for your hard work on this. I love it.

(+5)

I love this and cant wait for season 3 to come. I cant even  sleep properly last night because the story keep appearing in my mind. Im addicted.

(+2)

This is incredible. I love everything about this. I enjoy how well the characters seem to interact with each other. 

(+1)

Wait there's gonna be 5 seasons o_O
Heck this story was so good, got really immersed into it

Show post...

Hey... ive been following superstition since season 1 was at ep.7 or 8... and ive loved every moment... im curious about when season 3 will be out tho? I cant seem to find it anywhere on here

(+5)

Hey!!!

So... After some three days binge playing this, I just finished and I'm just like AAAAAAAAH

First things first, I found Superstition here on accident, a recommendation because of Scout An Apocalypse Story, and oh how happy am I to found it. Specially because I have this impression that I found the demo of the first season some years ago on Choice of Games (I don't know when exactly, but... I have this impression) and I remember really liking but my bad memory just made it slip my mind.

But now... Oh man. If I didn't had so many of college pilling up now, I would play another character and try to follow a slightly different path (aka a different romance lol), because this is SO GOOD. Mainly, I would do Zillah's path, because while he was damn insufferable while inside MC's head, he kind of gets slightly better when outside and it really made me curious. Yet, well... Rahim has my heart. Main romance, no doubt. AND I WANT MORE HUGS!!!! (also, I loved how you worked with Bradley and what he went through. Very... Real)

Also, the end of the second season... I was just like I WAS RIGHT, YEAH!

I don't know if there is some way to hide spoilers here, so, anyone that didn't finished season 2 yet, STOP READING!


All right, I can't pinpoint when exactly, but I was having suspicions that MC was something death related for some long time. Mainly because hybrids of angels and demons were really mentioned, and reapers, while pointed as Big League, not so much, so, they don't know what MC is plus no one talks about reaper hybrid, despite being Big, something there...

And then the clue relating to Azrael's wings and the second dream with the crows. The tree was dropping the same kind of thing that his wings. And also, when Sydero talks who she is to be vessel to Luci and how all of us are to be vessels and just... "Well, demon girl, angel guy, just missing the third big league, reapers" (also, I think it makes sense that a body made to receive something death-related would have problems with keeping itself whole. Life and death warring against each other)

I loved how you worked all of it into the narrative, I loved fitting the pieces so so much!!!! I really loved what I read so far and I can barely wait for season 3!

Amazing work and one of my best readings ever! <3

I found this game out of a fit of boredom. I won't lie, the 18+ rating was what drew me in. I went in fully expecting a smut focus and some decent writing. A quick and done deal.  Oh how wrong I was.

Next thing I know, it's been two days, I have my university assignments piling up, and I am absolutely blown away at how the story hooked me. I did not expect to be so invested in the world, characters, writing, and other elements. This is perhaps the only text-based game where I stayed and looked forward to the plot rather than the smut. Gems like these are honestly what remind me of why I still have reading as my hobby.

Thank you for what you've created. You've honestly given me such a unique and fantastic experience, and I can't wait for the future seasons. My assignments, not so much.

(+4)

I just finished Season 2 and i am already counting the days for season 3.  Cant wait to find out what happens next!

The images are still not showing in the offline version. I don't know why.

Can you email me this and tell me what you're playing on as well.

(+4)

This is one of the best free games on Itch.io for this genre, it's well written and hard to stop reading once you get pulled into the plot and it's many twisty turns and interesting characters which is the mark of a good story in my opinion. <3

I had an absolute blast playing season one and two,  I am definitely looking forward to season 3!

I love this game soooo much!! I can't wait for season 3!

WARNING THIS QUESTION CONTAINS SPOILER

















I was wondering wether it was an inevitability that zilch would be exorcised from us  ? also I was wondering wether having the skin tone of a player would be a good implementation to the game , as much like sydero's skin tone was described and her brothers , perhaps having the protagonist skin tone would be something that would enhance the readers experience ?

I can't seem to import my data , im on a MacBook 

haha I fixed it

Quick PSA: Firefox decided to delete my save for some reason, i recommend you save to file.

ep 8 is so cool and gave me a scar (:
