Beauty and the War (X Playing Pieces) is an upcoming game for PC/Mac/Linux by Poison Apple Tales.  You can download the demo here.

Links:  itch.io  |  Lemmasoft  |  Facebook  |  Twitter  |  Tumblr  |  Pinterest

Warnings:  Light flashes (seizures and epilepsy), blood, mild violence, and at least one jump scare.  Rated 13+.


Synopsis:  You play as Ambrosia, a healer from the Phoenix clan who lives together in relative peace with the other clans.  However, tensions lie in wait for any opportunity to create discord.  Will Ambrosia align herself with another clan? Leave politics to pursue love? Or will she create another war that would destroy all peace?

Note: There’s a lot of politics and characters at play, so writing a synopsis was a bit difficult.  A much better one is written by the creator in their Guide.  Also check out the Relationship Chart to see how the array of characters interact together.

I can’t believe I actually did this >_< This kind of picture had been in my mind for the last few weeks after playing Don’t Take This Risk, but please don’t actually do anything as drastic as this with a depressed suicidal person who longs for love, even if he/she looks super hot. I am still extremely shy, so almost everything’s covered by a blanket and I can’t “fold” well haha *Hides in the corner for eternity*

The girl in this doodle is Ambrosia of the Phoenix clan, and both of them belong to @askdreamgazer and @poisonappletales

Asylum Jam is back for a fourth year! Join us from Nov 11th to 13th to make a horror game that’s spooky outside of negative mental health stereotypes.

Hey! Who wants a free dark, horror-themed romance game (otome)?

I’m looking for a male voice actor willing to volunteer for this crazy jam.

I plan to work on said horror visual novel (with GxB otome elements!) this Saturday, but I know it won’t be able to reach its full potential without a voice. Help me to find someone!

If have any friends, brothers, or brave heart willing to step up, please just send them my way.

More details are here. If you have any questions, just ask.

As one final vacation before their second-to-the-last college semester ends, 20-year-old graduating student Cara Lee and her friends decide to go to a rest house up in the mountains. However, along the way, a minor landslide knocks her unconscious, and when she wakes up, she finds herself alone in a dark and scary forest. Looking for shelter, she finds a strange and haunted-looking mansion looming up ahead. Is there really more to the mansion that it seems, or will Cara Lee uncover something sinister about the house and its inhabitants?

I was the proofreader for Ran’s lovely otome. Why don’t you check it out? :)

(But if you run into any typos…please pretend you didn’t see anything. ♥ I double-checked the script twice, but at the time, the game was meant to be released around Halloween. So, to meet the deadline, I might have stared a little too hard and too long at the screen…in the wee hours of the night. Just saying.

Anyway, go! Enjoy it!)

I work in an ER and we see suicides all the time. And we get at least 3 suicidal ideations a night. We all care about you. I promise, we do. A team of complete strangers who have worked 3+ 12 hour shifts this week who are being screamed at all day and night and probably haven’t had lunch and trust me, we still love you and care about you.

We had a 16 year old patient last night who we couldn’t save. We were in that room with this patient for over an hour, we did everything we could.
And let me tell you, we all cried. The EMT’s, the nurses, the doctor. We all huddled together in the doctors dictation room and cried.

I went through the rest of my shift with smudged mascara and tracks on my cheeks.

I remember the names of all the patients that have taken their lives on my shifts.

I remember squeezing the hands, smoothing the hair, kissing the foreheads, and wiping away the blood and the vomit of every patient that has left me too soon.

I can still see every face that I have zipped into a body bag.

Trust me, someone cares about you. You have never met them yet. You don’t ever think about them. They are never remembered when you talk about heroes and role models.

But someone loves you.

damn….

This made me cry

When I was in hospital being seen to, being bandaged and sedated and surrounded by medical staff, my family was ignoring my calls, my friends hadn’t cared to check in. I felt terrified and hopeless and so very unimportant that it was taking everything it had in me to not drink the cleaning products left nearby by one of the cleaners, to make sure I finished the job properly.

There was a nurse though, who came into my room with a soft smile, who held my hand, who took away the bottles when she noticed me watching them for too long. There was a nurse that plugged in my phone to charge in case my family called back, that took away the bloody cloths the paramedics had left me with, that helped me put my hair up when it was sticking to my tear streaked face, because my arms were too sore to do it myself.

There was a nurse that saved my life twice in one night, who made me feel that I was worth being looked after, and her name was Emma and she was the most beautiful person I’ve met.

Months later, I was visiting my mother at the same hospital whilst she was incapacitated with back concerns. Whilst I sat and watched my mum sleeping, a nurse approached to check up on her. She met my gaze and she smiled immediately, face lit with recognition, and she said “oh my gosh, hey! How are you doing?”

People definitely do care about us even if we don’t think they do, and to the original poster?

Your faces are never forgotten either.

You’re more than heroes to me.

I m sobbing this is such a great reminder. Somebody loves you.
