WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT DO U MEANNNN HES A TOTAL SWEETIE!!!!! IF U SAVE HIM HE CUTELY SLEEPS OUTSIDE UR DOOR WELL U HAVE A PANIC ATTACK!!! Oliver would prob be smoking in the corner and Ezra would be off being goofy! Gage comforts u even though u bit him!! HE EVEN SHOWS U AROUND WITHA GOOFY GRIN!! husband material.
... All things considered, Oliver IS a little sketchy. And... Ezra... IS ADORABLE! Idk, Gage's ego just hits me the wrong way. AAHHHH BUT THEN AGAIN you're right about the goofy grin- AHHHH the decisions....
Man... it's been two years. Wow. This game has always sat in the back of my mind, and was one of the first textbased games I played, and overall got me into them. Yet here it sits on Itch... without having been updated in two years. Here's to holding out hope one day it will have an ending.
2-2..2 YEARS?!?!?!?!??! I'm gonna cry and then kms. I'm gonna cry harder then the mc having a panic attack after getting kidnapped well Gage sleeps outside there door..
NOOO... why do I keep doing this to myself. I keep reading all these wip that will not get complete and Every.Single.Time am emotionally invested into the story which destroy me at the end.
Happy to help, if you ever need more suggestions don't hesitate to ask. I am now keeping a list of all books, wips i have like so that i can recommend you more books that i have love. Again hope you enjoy the recommendations. Oh and i have added
Fallen hero rebirth (currently reading) and Fallen hero retribution- hosted game
Superstition, A Tale of Crowns and Wayfarer are soo good!! I also recommend The Bastard of Camelot and When Twilight Strikes though they're both WIPs !!
Edit: Our Life (both games) is also undeniably one of the best VNs on here
Great game but plagued with the same problem a lot of games from this genre are, being abandoned and never finished. Almost all my favorite games have same problem to the point I refuse to play anything unless it's finished already.
i have a recommendation similar to this game its called 'A Tale Of Crowns' such a wonderfully made and well written (game or book im not quite sure this is the first interactive fiction ive read). there are currently 11 chapters out, i've just finished reading all of them haha waiting on the next chapter. there are also 4 love interests, the story is so so so good and so so so interesting. definitely a five star for me pleasantly surprising me at how well written it is.
i swear they like, died or something. i mean it seems like everything connected to this game was made on a fresh account so maybe they just lost the email, still they probably would have tried to claim it by now. just hoping that one day maybe someone else will finish this TT
To everyone mourning the loss of this game, I suggest making a Character.ai bot of the love interest you liked most. This will be easy to do if you copy and paste the desc of them from here to the "Long description" and the base of the storyline from here to the "Text examples" as plain text. Just suggestion, I'm doing it myself.
Because you suggest violating (ok, maybe a harsh term - let's say 'fiddling with') someone else's intellectual property? I mean, sure, if you miss the story - there's always fan art. Write some fanfic, draw an art - find a way to make a tribute to the author and show your love for the story in legal ways, without, you know, copypasting and reusing (=stealing?) whole parts of it. I'm not fully sure if it can be considered an actual crime - using someone else's creations the way you suggest, if it is for your personal purposes only, but it sure as hell sounds ethically wrong.
Yeah personal use, but to be fair its been years since the story has even been touched. It would make a lot more sense if I did something like that to an author that has an ongoing project but as far as we can tell, this one is completely abandoned. I can see where you're coming from though.
This was incredible, I have been playing a lot of games with good stories recently, but I can say with almost full certainty that this is one of the best.
Sure! Fair warning, most of these are probably well known, and most of them are romance games. A few of them are more similar to Scout, but most of them are just gay love stories
i recommend 'a tale of crowns'! a high fantasy romance interactive fiction, so so well written with currently 11 chapters. definitely a five star for me, go check it out!!
Thank you so much for recommending that to me! I loved it so much, I can't wait for the next chapters to come out! Azad is my darling dearest and I need more of him immediately
Just coming back again because I still check in every few months. I check in even though I have notifications of Tumblr turned on JUST IN CASE lol...
It's coming up on 2 years and I still remember the first time I read time I read Scout. This IF is what got me in to reading IFs. I was a visual novel girl before and now I have read over 100 IFs. This is where it started. It's important to me. I hope that Anya is doing okay, even if she never returns. It fills my heart with joy to see everyone else that has been impacted by this story. I see so much love for this author and her story. Even if she never returns we all have a piece of this story in our hearts ❤
Somebody talented should pick this up and write a fan written ending!!
Much respect to anya for writing this masterpiece and I hope she is okay, but I think it has been abandoned for long enough that it would be acceptable for a talented author to do a lil spin off of sorts if respect was paid to the author/original work? <3
i remember how happy i was when this was last updated on my birthday. maybe this won't get an update ever again but i'm still grateful i get to be one of the people who stumbled on this amazing story. it'll be two years soon and at this point, i just hope the author is happy, healthy, and just doing well over all. ♡
edit: i honestly think that oliver will always have a special place in my heart. 🤧
Wow this one really is phenomenal. I don't usually play stuff that isn't already finished but I am glad I did for this one. Even if the author never comes back to finish this (I hope she does), I am very glad I gave it a shot and played what is there already

3-4 months. Its been 2 years. Not even a "hey, I'm still working on this!"
Pack it up, gang, the hopium isn't doing us any good. Its over.
Great game but plagued with the same problem a lot of games from this genre are, being abandoned and never finished. Almost all my favorite games have same problem to the point I refuse to play anything unless it's finished already.
its been two years now so i'll come back after i graduate in three to see if anythings changed. See you soldiers
Is there a relationship tab to see? I lost it when 'I will get my boo boos'🤣
i have a recommendation similar to this game its called 'A Tale Of Crowns' such a wonderfully made and well written (game or book im not quite sure this is the first interactive fiction ive read). there are currently 11 chapters out, i've just finished reading all of them haha waiting on the next chapter. there are also 4 love interests, the story is so so so good and so so so interesting. definitely a five star for me pleasantly surprising me at how well written it is.
I've read that one ..truly a masterpiece ✨ but it isn't quite similar to this one :)
oops sorry meant like game format and choosing your own decision 💗
Oh I see, it's totally alright 😊 nothing to apologize for.
do you know any other game like this
look at the related games
👍🏼 yesssssssss
I can't belive this hasn't been updated in two years crying myself to sleep
I NEED THIS STORY TO GO ON
just read the last chapter that was published and just now realized this fact. and now im crying :,)
i swear they like, died or something. i mean it seems like everything connected to this game was made on a fresh account so maybe they just lost the email, still they probably would have tried to claim it by now. just hoping that one day maybe someone else will finish this TT
Still holding on with every breath...though deep down I know- I know that it shall be a breath that holds no fruition.
*sniffle* I don't know, Maybe it's time to just accept the fact, that there will never be a return and we'll never know if Anya is okay.
An unfortunate mystery left to linger.
But .....I don't want to accept that fact...I just can't
😔🥺Sometimes when you really love something, you have to let it go. We have to let go. It’s time. At least we can say, we never gave up hope.
Super sad that this hasn't been updated in like 2 years :(
going back to check this because I miss them so much
same 😔
Been on this story since it's last update 2 years ago, and just can't let it go. I hope Anya is well
It's been a year since I've read this game, I'll read it again for old time's sake considering this is the very second IF I have ever read :'))
Just wanted to say that I adored this story so much and I will miss the crap out of Ezra. I hope you are doing well, Anya.
To everyone mourning the loss of this game, I suggest making a Character.ai bot of the love interest you liked most. This will be easy to do if you copy and paste the desc of them from here to the "Long description" and the base of the storyline from here to the "Text examples" as plain text.

That seems incredibly disrespectful to the author
I'm not gonna do it but how is it "incredibly disrespectful" to use one of their characters for a bot ?
Maybe I didn't word it the best, but why?
Because you suggest violating (ok, maybe a harsh term - let's say 'fiddling with') someone else's intellectual property? I mean, sure, if you miss the story - there's always fan art.

literally what? Its not like their taking credit for their work. People do it for anime characters and shows all the time
Press f to pay respect
So....I'm here once again? 😭
Not just you, not just you, friend...😭
...same
This was incredible, I have been playing a lot of games with good stories recently, but I can say with almost full certainty that this is one of the best.

commenting again just to say I miss this so much.
it really is the one that got away.
This was the first IF I played on itch. I will not forget the brief joy it gave me, hope the author is doing well and will return someday.
Hey with all us gathered here languishing in the comments we could start a support group or something.
Wow this one really is phenomenal. I don't usually play stuff that isn't already finished but I am glad I did for this one. Even if the author never comes back to finish this (I hope she does), I am very glad I gave it a shot and played what is there already
Oliver is best boi
