The Murder of Devon Whicker

After witnessing the brutal death of your best friend, Devon Whicker, you’re quickly thrown into a world of murder accusations suffocating you in your small town. You barely have time to grieve before you’re thrust into the public eye. Everyone’s turned against you—except for three of your peers.

You never imagined being blamed for simply finding a dying boy in a stairwell, but here you are with nearly no one left to turn to. Navigate through your new normal while trying to piece together Devon’s murder, start a potential romance, and keep your own sanity.

• Customizable MC (gender, pronouns, appearance, etc.)
•  Romance 1 of 3 LI’S, one male, one non-binary, and one female option.
• Make impactful choices that will affect your relationships with characters and how your MC goes through the story.
• Uncover a twisting murder mystery and enjoy your remaining memories with the victim.

VELIA HALL [F | SHE/HER | 18 | 5’9” | ROMANCABLE  BY NB + FEMALE MCS]

Velia is your neighbor of six years. She’s popular and it baffles you she even talks to you, you’re sure it’s just the nostalgia from an old middle school friendship that keeps her loyal. She's warm, incredibly smart, and always greets you with a cup of hot chocolate with extra whip cream–just how you like it.

BLAISE NIEVES [NB | THEY/THEM | 17 | 5"5 | ROMANCABLE BY ALL MCS]

Blaise is your best friend, besides Devon, and the three of you have been a dynamic trio since junior year. They always smell of leftover cigarette smoke (yuck) and you know they wouldn't hesitate to punch someone for you despite their small stature. They’re snarky and overly confident and is always one to steal the extra fries from your plate at lunch.

AMBROSE LOCKHEART [M | HE/HIM | 17 | 6"1 | ROMANCABLE BY ALL MCS]

Ambrose is your lanky, sweater-wearing tutor. The two of you meet every Monday and Wednesday to go over your workload. He’s painfully shy and you’re pretty sure the only reason he agreed to tutor you was the fact that he’s had a massive crush on you since freshman year (he’s never told you directly but the blushing and seemingly unnoticed staring tells you otherwise).

This story will be co-written, and the plan is to have individual routes for each love interest with a bad and good ending for each! As this is our first try coding and writing an interactive fiction story there, unfortunately, won’t be platonic routes.

Updates and character portraits are posted on our Tumblr, and we also answer asks/scenarios about characters there as well. If you spot any typos or bugs, please let us know there as well <3
