Find your apartment

It should be around here.. 242A Barghest Street.

Is this really it?

It seems... cozier than you would have expected.


The door is creaky, never a good sign.

The place is certainly empty though. It hasn't been inhabited in a while. The landlord or lady is nowhere to be seen, so you make yourself at home. The smell of mildew and mold are not overpowering, but are present nonetheless. It's going to take a lot of cleaning up, but it'll work. Besides, it will keep you safe. When you are in your house, save for midnight, no creatures will harm you (except in very rare story events). The more quests and tasks you complete, the better your house becomes. Eventually it turns into a sanctuary at midnight and you can add amenities to it.

You have moved to a new area: Apartment at Barghest Street

You started with a quality called "A Stranger", which has just changed to level 8. This will unlock more stories.

Finally finished the recruiting process for Death's army! Wasn't too bad. Now to make an alternate storyline for those wishing to join the rebels/radicals and also add in more branch based opportunities. (In progress)

            1
            You need Impossible! 1

            1
            Unlocked with Impossible! 1

The Hub coming soon to Black Hollow! The Hub is a place where members of all factions and races meet in relative peace and anonymity. Find underground writers and humans in hiding here. (In progress)

Disguises coming soon! Once The Hub is out and ready to go you'll not only need a card to get in, you need a disguise! Because that slightly forged card is going to need something to back it up. Collect these from pillaging as a Raider (branch), killing or silencing major figures, bartering, buying them, or creating them. (Complete)

Trent storyline has begun! This is one of the darker ones, and I am having difficulty typing this without spoiling anything! It closely ties in with the 13 storyline and the impending madness... what? Madness? Who said that? I don't know what you're talking about. (In progress)

Holidays coming soon! I hope to have lots of little one day events for smaller observances and massive celebrations for the larger real life ones. I will try to represent a wide variety of holidays from different cultures i.e. Halloween (oh goodness there will be enough content for this holiday to keep you busy all of October!!), Christmas, Midsummer's Eve, Winter Solstice, New Year's, Star Festival, and lots more! (Planning)

There's a meteor shower tomorrow! (In real life too!) It will last all day, on Earth day, inside and outside of Black Hollow. This will be the first holiday event to occur! The Etheri aren't really used to holidays or celebrations, so they could use a hand. Make wishes, get cool stuff, play minigames, and play side stories! Enjoy the meteors! (In progress)

Lyss needs extra actions to make more game

Only click if you are me.

            1
            You need 1 x Key of Dreams  (you have 0)

Well, after a long hiatus it does in fact appear I have returned *checks last update* A YEAR AGO?!?!!? IT'S BEEN A YEAR SINCE I WORKED ON THIS GAME!?! I'm scared I thought it was like four months. Jesus cracker pastries. I just made up that exclamation I'm proud. Latest updates: fixed lots of grammar things in the game and generally added more detail and conciseness to text. Trying to remember what the heck my plans were for this darn game since apparently I haven't written it in a year I can't get over that. This is why I'm not monetizing this one I don't deserve it. I think once I'm done playtesting this stuff I'll start continuing the mysterious ally, trent, madness, and death's assistant storylines as well as more random events. holidays are gonna have to wait I thinks.

Well I got a few small bugs worked out and a few more storylines progressed by a card or two. I'm currently studying my brains out for SAT so I'll try to do this in my free time. I love listening to music while I make this game so maybe I'll start putting playlist suggestions in the bottoms of certain cards?

Playlist is going well! If you have any suggestions for songs relating to monsters, imaginary things etc just shoot me an email at alyssabarstow@yahoo.com and I'll check them out!

Story news and extras

Notice something that's not working? See a typo? Just want to tell me I'm awesome? Okay maybe not that last one but contact me any time at alyssabarstow@yahoo.com
My other Storynexus game is Death of a Songbird. Once it's added, if you search hard enough you might find snippets of novels I'm working on hidden around here!

Always

Always

Finally finished the recruiting process for Death's army! Wasn't too bad. Now to make an alternate storyline for those wishing to join the rebels/radicals and also add in more branch based opportunities. (In progress)

The Hub coming soon to Black Hollow! The Hub is a place where members of all factions and races meet in relative peace and anonymity. Find underground writers and humans in hiding here. (In progress)

Disguises coming soon! Once The Hub is out and ready to go you'll not only need a card to get in, you need a disguise! Because that slightly forged card is going to need something to back it up. Collect these from pillaging as a Raider (branch), killing or silencing major figures, bartering, buying them, or creating them. (Complete)

Trent storyline has begun! This is one of the darker ones, and I am having difficulty typing this without spoiling anything! It closely ties in with the 13 storyline and the impending madness... what? Madness? Who said that? I don't know what you're talking about. (In progress)

Holidays coming soon! I hope to have lots of little one day events for smaller observances and massive celebrations for the larger real life ones. I will try to represent a wide variety of holidays from different cultures i.e. Halloween (oh goodness there will be enough content for this holiday to keep you busy all of October!!), Christmas, Midsummer's Eve, Winter Solstice, New Year's, Star Festival, and lots more! (Planning)

There's a meteor shower tomorrow! (In real life too!) It will last all day, on Earth day, inside and outside of Black Hollow. This will be the first holiday event to occur! The Etheri aren't really used to holidays or celebrations, so they could use a hand. Make wishes, get cool stuff, play minigames, and play side stories! Enjoy the meteors! (In progress)

Only click if you are me.

Well, after a long hiatus it does in fact appear I have returned *checks last update* A YEAR AGO?!?!!? IT'S BEEN A YEAR SINCE I WORKED ON THIS GAME!?! I'm scared I thought it was like four months. Jesus cracker pastries. I just made up that exclamation I'm proud. Latest updates: fixed lots of grammar things in the game and generally added more detail and conciseness to text. Trying to remember what the heck my plans were for this darn game since apparently I haven't written it in a year I can't get over that. This is why I'm not monetizing this one I don't deserve it. I think once I'm done playtesting this stuff I'll start continuing the mysterious ally, trent, madness, and death's assistant storylines as well as more random events. holidays are gonna have to wait I thinks.

Well I got a few small bugs worked out and a few more storylines progressed by a card or two. I'm currently studying my brains out for SAT so I'll try to do this in my free time. I love listening to music while I make this game so maybe I'll start putting playlist suggestions in the bottoms of certain cards?

Playlist is going well! If you have any suggestions for songs relating to monsters, imaginary things etc just shoot me an email at alyssabarstow@yahoo.com and I'll check them out!

Sanity

Here, sanity is a menace in some ways- start thinking too hard, pitying your victims, and people will take notice.

Total Soul Count

Building up to the Change

Something's happening in Black Hollow... and you're not sure you can stop it.

Who are the 13?

A better question might be... who were the 13?

Etheri

What appears to be a disgustingly warped race of humanoids. They kill for fun and associate with monsters without hesitation or qualms. Most of them don't even believe in souls.

Story news and extras

Notice something that's not working? See a typo? Just want to tell me I'm awesome? Okay maybe not that last one but contact me any time at alyssabarstow@yahoo.com
My other Storynexus game is Death of a Songbird. Once it's added, if you search hard enough you might find snippets of novels I'm working on hidden around here!

Always

Always

Finally finished the recruiting process for Death's army! Wasn't too bad. Now to make an alternate storyline for those wishing to join the rebels/radicals and also add in more branch based opportunities. (In progress)

The Hub coming soon to Black Hollow! The Hub is a place where members of all factions and races meet in relative peace and anonymity. Find underground writers and humans in hiding here. (In progress)

Disguises coming soon! Once The Hub is out and ready to go you'll not only need a card to get in, you need a disguise! Because that slightly forged card is going to need something to back it up. Collect these from pillaging as a Raider (branch), killing or silencing major figures, bartering, buying them, or creating them. (Complete)

Trent storyline has begun! This is one of the darker ones, and I am having difficulty typing this without spoiling anything! It closely ties in with the 13 storyline and the impending madness... what? Madness? Who said that? I don't know what you're talking about. (In progress)

Holidays coming soon! I hope to have lots of little one day events for smaller observances and massive celebrations for the larger real life ones. I will try to represent a wide variety of holidays from different cultures i.e. Halloween (oh goodness there will be enough content for this holiday to keep you busy all of October!!), Christmas, Midsummer's Eve, Winter Solstice, New Year's, Star Festival, and lots more! (Planning)

There's a meteor shower tomorrow! (In real life too!) It will last all day, on Earth day, inside and outside of Black Hollow. This will be the first holiday event to occur! The Etheri aren't really used to holidays or celebrations, so they could use a hand. Make wishes, get cool stuff, play minigames, and play side stories! Enjoy the meteors! (In progress)

Only click if you are me.

Well, after a long hiatus it does in fact appear I have returned *checks last update* A YEAR AGO?!?!!? IT'S BEEN A YEAR SINCE I WORKED ON THIS GAME!?! I'm scared I thought it was like four months. Jesus cracker pastries. I just made up that exclamation I'm proud. Latest updates: fixed lots of grammar things in the game and generally added more detail and conciseness to text. Trying to remember what the heck my plans were for this darn game since apparently I haven't written it in a year I can't get over that. This is why I'm not monetizing this one I don't deserve it. I think once I'm done playtesting this stuff I'll start continuing the mysterious ally, trent, madness, and death's assistant storylines as well as more random events. holidays are gonna have to wait I thinks.

Well I got a few small bugs worked out and a few more storylines progressed by a card or two. I'm currently studying my brains out for SAT so I'll try to do this in my free time. I love listening to music while I make this game so maybe I'll start putting playlist suggestions in the bottoms of certain cards?

Playlist is going well! If you have any suggestions for songs relating to monsters, imaginary things etc just shoot me an email at alyssabarstow@yahoo.com and I'll check them out!

Story news and extras

Notice something that's not working? See a typo? Just want to tell me I'm awesome? Okay maybe not that last one but contact me any time at alyssabarstow@yahoo.com
My other Storynexus game is Death of a Songbird. Once it's added, if you search hard enough you might find snippets of novels I'm working on hidden around here!

Always

Always

Finally finished the recruiting process for Death's army! Wasn't too bad. Now to make an alternate storyline for those wishing to join the rebels/radicals and also add in more branch based opportunities. (In progress)

The Hub coming soon to Black Hollow! The Hub is a place where members of all factions and races meet in relative peace and anonymity. Find underground writers and humans in hiding here. (In progress)

Disguises coming soon! Once The Hub is out and ready to go you'll not only need a card to get in, you need a disguise! Because that slightly forged card is going to need something to back it up. Collect these from pillaging as a Raider (branch), killing or silencing major figures, bartering, buying them, or creating them. (Complete)

Trent storyline has begun! This is one of the darker ones, and I am having difficulty typing this without spoiling anything! It closely ties in with the 13 storyline and the impending madness... what? Madness? Who said that? I don't know what you're talking about. (In progress)

Holidays coming soon! I hope to have lots of little one day events for smaller observances and massive celebrations for the larger real life ones. I will try to represent a wide variety of holidays from different cultures i.e. Halloween (oh goodness there will be enough content for this holiday to keep you busy all of October!!), Christmas, Midsummer's Eve, Winter Solstice, New Year's, Star Festival, and lots more! (Planning)

There's a meteor shower tomorrow! (In real life too!) It will last all day, on Earth day, inside and outside of Black Hollow. This will be the first holiday event to occur! The Etheri aren't really used to holidays or celebrations, so they could use a hand. Make wishes, get cool stuff, play minigames, and play side stories! Enjoy the meteors! (In progress)

Only click if you are me.

Well, after a long hiatus it does in fact appear I have returned *checks last update* A YEAR AGO?!?!!? IT'S BEEN A YEAR SINCE I WORKED ON THIS GAME!?! I'm scared I thought it was like four months. Jesus cracker pastries. I just made up that exclamation I'm proud. Latest updates: fixed lots of grammar things in the game and generally added more detail and conciseness to text. Trying to remember what the heck my plans were for this darn game since apparently I haven't written it in a year I can't get over that. This is why I'm not monetizing this one I don't deserve it. I think once I'm done playtesting this stuff I'll start continuing the mysterious ally, trent, madness, and death's assistant storylines as well as more random events. holidays are gonna have to wait I thinks.

Well I got a few small bugs worked out and a few more storylines progressed by a card or two. I'm currently studying my brains out for SAT so I'll try to do this in my free time. I love listening to music while I make this game so maybe I'll start putting playlist suggestions in the bottoms of certain cards?

Playlist is going well! If you have any suggestions for songs relating to monsters, imaginary things etc just shoot me an email at alyssabarstow@yahoo.com and I'll check them out!
