Stigmata
"try & watch a horror film from the point of view of the monster." - Three Poems, Sam Sax
you are a vampire in the house of a vampire hunter. you are a corpse in the bed of someone painfully alive. you are a dirty, filthy thing in a room with the sun rising behind you and your lover's father in front of you, crossbow pointed at your chest.

Ohhhhh oh this is incredible. The writing is gorgeous and Harlow's character is just <33 The loathing, the hope, the yearning are all so so delicious!!
Amazing, gave me very important feelings
Ahhh this was so good--so many feelings!! I'm very glad I found the good ending first bc afterward I went back and tried some alternate paths and the other endings BROKE me. 😭
(I did notice one issue, which is when you click to take off the cross necklace an error message comes up saying "passage 30a does not exist.")
tysm! also thanks for letting me know! should hopefully be fixed
WHAT IS THE GOOD PATH IM BEGGING U 🙏
sorry for the late reply! there’s roughly three endings. quick messy outline below:
good ending: don’t dodge the bolt when it leaves Harlow in danger and don’t drink them dry (biting is ok i’m never gonna sit here and tell you that a little biting isn’t ok)
survival path: focus on escaping instead of attacking in the first choice and don’t pull the bolt from your shoulder in the second. don’t get the prev ending
other: don’t get the prev endings
This is beautiful. I ate all of it up in one sitting. I would love to see more of your work — your writing is lovely! I hope Harlow and MC get to be happy together aye 🥹
This is really good and I enjoy the writing a lot, however some of the links seem to be unclickable? (some options for responding to the question of murder, the end of the third memory) so I got stuck. Or is it where the story ends? Nevertheless, great work!
ah you’re right & that definitely shouldn’t be happening! seems to be a problem with the ui bar overlapping some of the clickable text on certain configurations - will try to fix that asap, thanks for letting me know!
This was wonderful, great job!
i feel like ive been pulled apart and put back together again. this is so beautiful, just everything about it....wow.
oh that was really really good, shout out to queer vampires gotta be one of my favorite genders
