Exciting news on the Fiendish Fiction front! FF is currently in production on Occult Mingle, our upcoming free-to-play horror/romance visual novel. Engage with four occult enthusiasts in this interface drama dating sim. Find friendship -- perhaps even romance -- but possibly sacrifice your soul as they vie for your attention. Stay up-to-date on production and learn more about the unique cast of characters by following the game page and wishlisting Occult Mingle today! While the game will be free-to-play, we are hoping to raise a few additional funds via Kickstarter to include full voice acting. If you're interested in seeing (or should we say hearing) our characters come to full fruition, we highly encourage you to head to the pre-launch page and slam that 'notify on launch' button. It means a lot to our small team! Seeking to quell your boredom while browsing the web, you skeptically enter a chatroom themed on discussion of the supernatural, metaphysical, and cryptic. Four regulars are eager to welcome you to their quiet little community, but as uncanny events begin to unfold you suspect something in the server is amiss. Occult Mingle is a queer supernatural romance/horror visual novel with light mystery elements, utilizing the chatroom simulator format. Players pick their name and pronouns and interact with a unique cast of characters, each with their own magnetism and motives.

Remnants of Dawn is an upcoming supernatural horror-thriller visual novel. While it is intended to be enjoyed as a standalone story, the plot follows the events of the Up All Night series thus far, with jaded protagonist Nick Torres on the hunt for a master vampire. Hot on the trail, Nick finds himself enrolled in college, soon befriending and seeking to help newly-turned vampire Dante Jones. Dante, whose vampirism has impacted his college football career, will do just about anything to return to a normal life. Wishlist on Steam to stay up to date on production and game page updates!
Character designs from left to right: new Remnants of Dawn protagonist Dante, his best friend Mei, Up All Night veteran Nick, and his monster-hunting partner Katie, all sporting their usual casual outfits.

Nick just can't let go of the people he's killed. Up All Night: Daybreak is now available on Steam for free! Set after the events of Rumination, see how Nick Torres has moved on (or rather, hasn't moved on) with his life after years of searching for answers. But when a literal specter of his past comes in for a chat, will he keep charging down the path he's chosen? https://store.steampowered.com/app/2310360/Up_All_Night_Daybreak/

[previewyoutube=1JZ2mJTd1HI;full][/previewyoutube] Nameless: The Departed Cycle, our latest visual novel, is now released on Steam!
Something lurks in the Umbral Forest, its wicked tendrils snaking out to reshape the very woods themselves. Is this the beast Israh Almasi seeks to hunt and slay for the sake of his dying son? Or something even darker and more sinister than he ever could have imagined? Meanwhile, a mysterious man has made himself at home at Israhs campsite. He calls himself Nameless and he only comes at night. Follow the red star to the Umbral Forest and unravel the mysteries within. Nameless: The Departed Cycle is a dark fantasy/horror visual novel with LGBTQ+ elements. Make choices to determine Israh's fate, and strive to survive -- perhaps even slay -- the monster stalking the Umbral Forest.
20,000+ words Six backgrounds Three illustrations Five character sprites Fully original soundtrack Multiple impactful choices Partial + key line voice acting Four 'bad ends' and one 'true end' Nameless: The Departed Cycle is a little darker and more mature than Up All Night with all the same blood and gore you expect from us, and with the experience we've gained from our previous projects, we think we've really outdone ourselves. For a limited time until November 8, 2022, you can pick it up for 33% off.

Howdy players, We hope you've been enjoying the latest update, which includes Rumination; a glimpse into Nick's future after the events of Up All Night. Unfortunately, with the update we failed to catch a simple error -- one that prevented achievements from unlocking. We have addressed the issue; though in order to unlock all achievements you have collected thus far, you will need to skip through to an ending in Up All Night (any ending will do). Upon completion of an ending, all achievements you have gathered throughout the game should unlock. Thank goodness for the skip button feature! If you have any other issues, we urge you to reach out to our team... we will always do our best to help. Thanks for playing... and as always, Stay fiendish!

Howdy all, We come bearing huge news on the Fiendish Fiction front! You may have noticed an update to Up All Night. This recent renovation incorporates a free new story expansion, Up All Night: Rumination, accessible through the gallery after completing the ending/achievement Last Man Standing. Years after the events of Up All Night, Nick Torres remains haunted by the ghosts of his past. Seeking help -- or at least solace -- he reaches out to licensed therapist Patricia Rathburn for guidance. Much to her dismay, Nick's presence proves a harrowing reminder of Patricia's own inner demons... but can she see past her clouded judgement to help this troubled young man? Unfortunately, therapy can't fix everything. Up All Night: Rumination incorporates mature themes including physical and psychological trauma, abusive relationships, suicidal ideation, and visual and written depictions of gore. Rumination can be considered an interlude between Up All Night and its future sequel, currently in pre-production.

• NEW FEATURES:
• Six Nick poses with over 20 expressions
• One unlockable illustration
• Original soundtrack
• 10,000+ words
• Three endings

Howdy players, we hope you've been enjoying your time with Nick at Aspen Lodge. Last night, we uploaded a new build that fixes achievements not unlocking properly, as well as a few very minor graphical effects that did not affect gameplay. All of your achievements will unlock at the end of any ending, so if you have already played through the entire game, run through one more time to get those synced up. Existing saves may reload to a few lines prior to your original save point and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. That's all for now, and until next time... Stay fiendish!
