Brimstone Manor is a 168,000-word interactive supernatural romance novel by Frances Pauli, part of our Heart’s Choice line of interactive romance novels. I sat down with Frances to talk about her work and this latest Heart’s Choice game.
Brimstone Manor releases this Thursday, February 10th. You can play the first three chapters for free, today.
This is your first foray into interactive fiction, but definitely not your first publication! Tell me all about your other work.
I write across a broad selection of genres, but I cut my teeth on romance, and most of my work has strong romantic plot elements. I have a lot of series published, from Fey worlds to Space Opera, and more recently I’ve been writing shifters and stories with animal characters, which have always been a staple in my books. So you could say I diversify a lot, I suppose. But there is always a speculative element, a romantic element, and lots of fun critters.
Brimstone Manor contains a really classic dichotomy for the romance interests: Angel or Demon!? What drew you to writing a supernatural romance?
You know, despite all the aliens, shifters, mythical creatures and speculative elements I’ve worked with, I’d never done an angels and demons romance before. The closest I came were the demons in my Dogs of War series, but they’re a very different manifestation of the idea. I thought it would be a fun theme to write, in particular in a format where the reader has choices, and I really did enjoy it a lot.
Did you have a favorite NPC while you were writing the game?
Lucifer won me over hands down. (paws down?) I love writing animals, and if they’re sassy and highly food motivated, even better. I’m fond of Gabby and Lily as well, but as an animal lover, Lucifer was my favorite from page one.
What surprised you about writing an interactive story?
So much surprised me about this process I’m not sure where to start. First, it was a lot harder than I expected, more challenging. But that’s a good thing, right? At times it felt like I was writing several stories at the same time, or several versions of the same book. It was definitely a new experience for me.
What’s your favorite genre of romance?
I love sci-fi romance and shifters. I’m not sure I could choose between those two. Aliens and animals. It’s a pretty simple recipe to keep me happy as a reader. So long as you throw in a happily ever after to go with it. If a story has sci-fi AND shifters or animal aliens, then I’m going to be hooked immediately.
Tell our readers what else you’re working on.
This will probably not be surprising, but I’m writing a new series about a family of shifter witches called Brighton Vale. There is a heavy romance lean, but it’s also family saga, and follows an incredibly dysfunctional but very loving family of shifters as they try to navigate romance, danger, and family squabbles while keeping their existence secret. In addition, I’m working on a new serial story that falls along the lines of My Little Pony meets Twilight. Unicorns, and vampire-style Kelpies, and a lot of hijinks.

Pon Para and the Unconquerable Scorpion is the second game in an absolutely epic trilogy. And you have very satisfyingly allowed the player to pick up where they left off from the first game, accounting for diverse endings in Pon Para and the Great Southern Labyrinth. Tell me about how you were able to construct this next part of the story.
I planned ahead, which wasn’t easy! The major binary divergence in The Great Southern Labyrinth is whether the city of Mytele survives the Stormraider invasion in the last chapter, and I made sure to script for both possibilities. Labyrinth also ends with you in one of 4-5 positions in the Sea Kingdom, from “army general” to “outlaw,” and with you choosing from one of a half-dozen goals, and the game picks up with you pursuing that goal with the resources you gained from the last game. So if you ended Labyrinth as a high priestess who wanted to learn more about the powers of your god, or a downtrodden clerk plotting to kill the king, that’s where you start in The Unconquerable Scorpion.
The romances are actually some of my favorite parts of the Pon Para series. Any new romantic prospects for our hero this time?
Pon Para adds two new traveling companions almost right away, the satyr general Col and her ward, the crow-ferox Clannath. Together, I think they satisfy two of the most important daring sim archetypes: 1) a big cuddly bear with the maturity to respect your boundaries and 2) a violent, illiterate woman with an ax.
If you’re looking to marry up, you can also romance Princess Hyranni (daughter of King Hyras–this assumes you can free her from Teijia’s supernatural control, of course!), Empress Zoriza, and even Galimar, knight-captain of the Stormraiders. But they all have their own plots and ambitions, which can override their interest in going on nice dates with the main character.
What surprised you about the writing of this one?
Vibe-wrangling is hard!
Meaning: at the end of the previous game, your opinion on King Hyras can be anything from “I respect him despite his mistakes” to “I am literally plotting to kill him.” The same range of reactions applies to other elements in the setting, everything from the Stormraiders and the Dark Ax to the new position you find yourself occupying in Shalmek (the capital of the Desert Empire), as a semi-legitimate “crime lord.” A combination of opposed personality variables and chosen goals influences these things, but tracking them all, and deploying the main character’s mood about all these different elements of the story, at the right time, is complex and required an enormous amount of work.
Since we last heard from you, you’ve also published the first of Choice of Games’ new Vampire: The Masquerade licensed games, Night Road, which was amazing, and honestly some of your best writing in my humble opinion. What are the different pleasures and pitfalls of writing Pon Para and your own worlds versus playing in someone else’s sandbox?
World of Darkness was surprisingly generous with what they let me get away with; one chapter is basically “dark Scooby-Doo with Portal 2 aesthetics and some genocide” and they were like Yeah, sure. But my own work lets me explore cul-de-sacs of culture that don’t get much exposure. Pon Para, for example, is based on the old anime, fantasy novels, and 16-bit JRPGs I enjoyed as a kid. In retrospect, a lot of that material was conceptually empty: retreads of older creators’ surface gloss (Tolkien’s worldbeing being the most obvious example) with nothing underpinning it. Pon Para, I suppose, is an attempt to “fill up” those empty fantasy playgrounds of my childhood, to invest their surface aesthetics with a new kind of meaning. The Oricalchum is an explicit metaphor for this creative act: a fairly normal world underpinned by a system that’s deeply weird and (depending on your character’s personality) politically and morally depraved.
Obviously, we’re already looking forward to the third and final installment of Pon Para, The God of Knots. What can we expect to see, other than the totally epic conclusion to the tale?
If The Great Southern Labyrinth is a classic adventure story and The Unconquerable Scorpion is a higher-stakes drama of war and politics, The God of Knots is really going to delve into the metaphysics of the setting. The World That Remains is falling apart, after all–the Oricalchum that sustains it is a desperate and failing stopgap measure, maintained by enslaved gods–and resolving that (or failing to!) is what the final game will be all about. The trick is providing satisfying resolutions without, hrm…pulling a Frank Herbert.
By which I mean: all the Duneheads are laughing because if the new Dune movies are good enough, they’ll eventually run out of fun desert adventures and have to move into the later books, which are about how fun adventures lead to apocalyptic wars. How could you, the reader, ever enjoy those early books? Don’t you know what they lead to?!
It’s hard to interrogate fantasy without destroying what makes a fantasy story fun, or blaming the reader for wanting to hear about a cool adventure. But interactive fiction has unique advantages over static novels, and I look forward to giving players room to explore the setting in God of Knots and to tell me how they react to it, rather than me telling them what they should think.
Pon Para is the “Christmas release” for us this year–pride of place in our release schedule. What have you asked Santa Claus to bring you this year?
A deadline! Mary, I’ve been without a deadline for months and I’m going nuts because I don’t know what to write next! Please, nail something down on your end and give me something to put on my calendar!
We’re proud to announce that Witchcraft U, the latest in our popular “Choice of Games” line of multiple-choice interactive-fiction games, is now available for Steam, Android, and on iOS in the “Choice of Games” app. It’s 40% off until December 16th!
Rush the university’s secret societies as a first-year Magical Studies major! Will you keep your magic a secret from the mundanes or expose the truth?
Witchcraft U is a 200,000-word interactive fantasy novel by Jei D. Marcade. It’s entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
You’re a fresh-faced new student at Larkspur University, a college for witches that began accepting mundanes a few decades ago. (Strangely, the mundanes never seem to notice the witches.) It’s your first time living away from home, and that means new spells, new friends, and new opportunities for romance!
Three secret societies control the university, and they’ve all taken a special interest in you. But you have secrets of your own: namely, your family’s underworld criminal empire–and just when you think you’re out, they pull you back in.
As a first-generation university student, the pressure’s on to make friends, find a date, maintain your grades, hold down a part-time job, and prove to your family that you belong here, while keeping your magical abilities a secret from your mundane peers.
Will you rush one of the secret societies or rebuke them? Dress to impress or attend lecture in PJs? Will you choose the path most likely to lead you to fulfillment, knowledge, influence, or wealth? What kind of witch will you be?
• Play as male, female, or nonbinary; gay, straight, bi, or asexual
• Hone your spellcraft in one of four magical tracks
• Collaborate with your classmates, compete against them, or hook up with them
• Support the mundane students or sabotage their plans
• Inherit a criminal empire or abdicate the throne
• Keep your grades up or lose your scholarship

Rush the university’s secret societies as a first-year Magical Studies major! Will you keep your magic a secret from the mundanes or expose the truth? Witchcraft U is a 200,000-word interactive fantasy novel by Jei D. Marcade. I sat down with Jei to talk about the game and its world.
Witchcraft U releases this Thursday, December 9th. You can play the first three chapters for free today.
The world of Witchcraft U is so delightful. Tell me about its origins.
My first entry to this world was in the form of an occult crime family drama set about ten years after the events of Witchcraft U: the protagonist, who’d gone to college in an effort to leave the underworld behind, winds up being drawn back in on account of her academic specialization (anthropodermic bibliopegy), and a couple incidents from the protagonist’s undergraduate years come into play. I thought it would be interesting to explore some of those incidents, and so the basic premise behind this game was born.
In terms of the magic system, I’m afraid that I can claim very little credit there; high magic, spirit contact, and wildcraft are all based on historical and extant occult practices.
Why are schools such an intriguing literary trope/setting?
An unfamiliar setting that A. comes with externally imposed (and arbitrarily decided) expectations and metrics of success, B. forces the participant to navigate new social dynamics, and C. presents every decision as being fundamental to one’s future prosperity? Truly, the stuff of nightmares. What’s not to love?
What was the most difficult part of the writing process for you?
Roughly twelve hours after I wrote a scene in which the PC is hospitalized for days with a mysterious ailment, I was hospitalized for days with a mysterious ailment. Grant Morrison told a story about a similarly synchronistic experience he had while writing The Invisibles, from which point Morrison wisely chose to make good things happen to his lead character. I have elected to do otherwise, and can only wait and see if I’ll have cause to regret my folly.
What did you enjoy most about writing the game?
This was my first up-close-and-personal encounter with ChoiceScript, and I loved stretching my brain into exciting new shapes to figure out what was and wasn’t possible to achieve, or what could be done more efficiently.
Do you have a favorite NPC?
Oof, this is a tough one; I love all my dysfunctional babies. I’d say that it’s a draw between Enzo and Risoria, though I always have fun writing interactions with Maks.
What else are you working on?
A secondary-world fantasy novel inspired by Korean history and mythology; the story is centered around a living severed head and the hapless wretches who have come to possess it.
We’re proud to announce that Faerie’s Bargain: The Price of Business, the latest in our popular “Choice of Games” line of multiple-choice interactive-fiction games, is now available for Steam, Android, and on iOS in the “Choice of Games” app. It’s 33% off until December 9th!
Amass a goblin hoard of priceless treasures! Will you corner the market on memories and dreams? What will you pay for true love, and what is it worth?
Faerie’s Bargain: The Price of Business is a 300,000-word interactive fantasy novel by Trip Galey where your choices control the story. It’s entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
You are one of the goblin merchants in the Untermarkt: a magical bazaar beneath Victorian London that trades in memories, wishes, secrets, and more. The Untermarkt has been a mainstay of London Faerie life since High Queen Elizabeth first forged the Treaty with Titania, Queen of Faerie. As merchant, you are skilled in dealing in all manner of impossibilities: new faces and voices, silks spun of starlight, bottled time, twists of fate, and even stranger things. Here, anything can be bought and sold for the right price. Will you line your pockets, or are the rewards of your trade more valuable than money?
When a mysterious business opportunity takes you by surprise, you have the chance to deal in something new: political intrigue! High Queen Victoria sits upon the Throne, but there are many who would prefer to rule in her place. Who is plotting against her, and what will it take to stop them? And where has the princess gone? To find out, you will have to learn the deepest secrets of the most powerful people in the Untermarkt: noble knights, fabulously wealthy merchants, dispossessed royalty, and more. Will you defend the High Queen, or use your newfound wealth to fund a little revolution?
Your fellow merchants certainly won’t allow an opportunity for profit to slip away. Will you undercut their efforts at the Merchant Conclave, or ignore all the politicking in favor of growing your wealth? And then there’s love—which could come at a greater cost than you ever imagined. Whatever you decide, one thing is certain: It’s time to get down to business!
