A dark fairy tale about the woods outside a small village and the monster that roams within them. Become Sage, change their pronoun and play through to uncover the mystery when they're tossed away from everything they've ever known.

Here's an excerpt from the intro:
A “Who are you?”
“The voice echoes in the room, I whirl around and stumble back into the mural hard enough to make my head jerk back painfully against the stone.”
“I wince, but don’t move away.”
“There’s someone.”
“Where did she come from? No— she had to come from the village. But when?”
“She’s not like me. Sweaty, haggard, dirt-stained.”
“She’s clean. Pure. Her priestess’s robes don’t have a single wrinkle and her eyes are sure and kind. The staff she’s carrying makes my nerves settle.”
“With someone so holy, I have to be safe.”
S “I’m… Sage. I’m Sage. How did you…”
“How did she make it out of the woods? How did she find this place? Why did she leave the Village? There are too many questions and not enough room in the sentence to ask.”
A “Sage. Nice to meet you, Sage.”
“She bows low enough that I worry her antlers will scrape the floor. Then she straightens, and steps towards me. Her eyes flick from my greasy hair, to my dirt-stained clothes, and scraped up knees.”
“Of all things to feel right now, self-conscious shouldn’t be one of them.”
A “My name is Ana.”

I really love the designs, even as they're only sketches at the moment. And I can't resist dark fairytales.
Thank you! I’m having a lot of fun with the designs, since the style is so different from my usual.
Hey everybody!
So we've been slowly working on Twisted, and so far we're at around 18,000 words, work has started on backgrounds, and the sprites and characters have been redesigned!
So sorry for the long hiatus, we have been working slowly but we're trying to get back on track with this one! The release will still be a little while away, but the main routes are almost complete, I still have endings and a few extra scenes to complete but it's definitely getting there!
We'll work on updating this thread when there are updates to announce!
Completed: Heartbaked, Ellaria: Cotton & Cream, Plain
WIP: Toil & Trouble, Twisted
Check out Arena Circus, The Pretenders Guild, and Mnemonic Devices by Minyan!

Glad to hear it! ^_^ Take your time; we'll be here waiting~ Looking forward to see the new designs!
I felt that the previous sprite was too polished for the storybook vibe I wanted to capture, so I tried a more sketchy, rough style. I also added a few changes to their outfit, namely the cape and little baubles on the strap of their bag. What do you think? Here's the old sprite to compare:
