My gosh, I absolutely loved this IF!! The natural normal teenagers angst that we all went through, the way Tommy's fears are normal and justified, the friends of which he surrounds himself with, the customization (seriously, I fell in love with the way everything was done and I'm really proud of my MC), the comedic way the plot was set up but having its general spooky vibe, the storytelling and plot-- JUST EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS IS AMAZING!
I also enjoyed Tommy a lot, the ending where he pulled an Uno? Fucking hell that was amazing to see and if my MC wasn't overcome with anger towards Tommy pulling the rug on them, they'd show grudging respect and find amusement on him. I can't wait for MC to be a Grunkle Stan where they don't really care much about Tommy before backtracking heavily as they drag Tommy away from dangerous shit all while cursing why they've become so attached to this mortal boy who one up'd them.
Also I just really like the thought of this tall sexy demon with features that resemble human but are not. Dangerous and enthralling-- Then completely motherhenning this dorky awkward mortal boy and trying to cheer him up. I'm gonna have my MC turn up their nose at Tommy's friend group "reluctantly" helping them out, but the moment they hear someone talk shit about one person from Tommy's friend group?? Oh it's over, they're whipping out the fires from hell.
And I can't stop it. The one where you see this dark ethereal demon and some human kids just keep calling them "Zorlok" all while said demon is holding all of them by the back of their shirt ready to give the longest lecture ever--
I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT BUT I'M ALSO LOOKING FORWARD TO THE RO'S AND HOW THE KIDS WILL REACT TO THEM. God it'd be so funny if the kids give a hard time or try to sabatoge the RO's attempt to woo MC and MC is genuinely oblivious to them thwarting their "love life" all while the RO's are internally debating that they are mature adults who will not dropkick a kid. AAA I'M SORRY FOR THE LONG COMMENT BUT I'M GENUINELY EXCITED FOR THE FUTURE OF THIS CHAPTER, ESPECIALLY WITH HOW AMAZING THE PROLOGUE IS!!
But I don't want to pressure you! Uni and work (seriously, how do you do it both???) are downright stressful and can take up so much time. So I wish you luck and know that we're waiting here patiently because we don't just care about the IF, we also care about you! Goodluck with the development and take care~!!
out of all the games like this when it comes to character creation, this is the best i have seen hands down. I am very excited for to play more and laugh at tommy and pray along with him for those sweet wonderful nat 20's
I'ma be the coolest gay uncle that hell and earth has ever seen for this dweeb
Man, Tommy, why??? Out of everything you could have said, you literally chose the worst way of expressing yourself. 🤣
That ending was like- crazy. I have a very good feeling about this one, I'm predicting I'm gonna laugh so much in this game, as well as have so much fun trying to keep my Zorlok from getting extremely mad at Tommy for erasing her memories without meaning to. 😭😂
I hope this IF is still being worked at, but take as long as it is necessary, Author, because the level of customization and quality of UI are impressive.
Edit: I read about the delay regarding the updates and the situation with lack of free time, I only hope you're okay and keep taking care of your health! I'll be keeping my eyes on this game waiting patiently for the update when it comes. 😊
Oh my gosh :') I need this full game LOL. (Take your time tho)
That being said I can't wait oh my gosh the description was already so cool aaaaaaaaah I can't wait to find out what happens when the demon indeed does forget everything.
Like I said, take your time ^^ I can't wait to further design the demon, I had a lot of fun (and work lol) imagining her and bringing her to life with the tiny details ^^ This is absolutely fantastic :D I am definitely gonna go for a demon that is nice ^^ Also I love my Cerberus already LOL. Though Tommy might not have the best survival instincts if he immediately goes and pet a wolf- but hey he's got a demon to protect (or... uh... NOT protect lol) him now right? :D Okay before I go into rambling on, fantastic game, take your time and I already love it ^^ I especially love the very clear trigger warnings, options, and the fact that THERE IS TONE TAGS THAT YOU CAN TURN ON AAAAH (My autism thanks you lol) I love it ^^ I am definitely gonna keep this game close and play all that I can :D
Hey, so is there supposed to be music when Tommy enters the abandoned house to summon the demon? The music stops for me when he decides to go there... Not sure if it's my computer (highly probable) browser (internet explorer I think) or if there's just not supposed to be any music. My browser says the tab is playing music, but the game is not playing music. Thanks in advance ^^
So, the "music" that plays in the beginning of that scene is actually "room sound". If you're playing at a lower volume (especially without headphones) you might not hear anything or if you're playing in a room with a similar ambient sound you might not notice it. The relative quiet/silence of that scene is supposed to create an eerie stillness that's disrupted by what happens next. The room sound also changes depending on what happens in the scene directly before.

If Tommy's meeting with Harlow goes poorly then it's louder and filled with spookier sounds. If it goes well or neutrally, it's really subtle, almost white noise, that just buzzes/hums in the background. This is how the two different tracks are described in the game's audio descriptions (which can be turned on or off at any time in the settings menu):
Spooky Room Sound: "The music from the last scene fades out, replaced by the eerie sound of a dank, cold room with wind whipping through it. Shutters rattle against windows. Something metallic creaks and wobbles. A strange, wet sound pops up now and then, almost like a creature swallowing. The audio feels disturbing, unnerving, and alarming."
Neutral Room Sound: "The music from the last scene fades out, replaced by the eerie sound of silence—the faint, buzzing, white noise of an empty room. Occasionally, some water drips or a random, unidentifiable clicking noise can be heard, but—in stark contrast to the rest of the game—this scene is unsettlingly quiet."
Oooh, I see thank you so much! There's a fish tank in the room and the filter must've drowned out the noise. As well as the tv playing over the mid sound of my laptop must've drowned it out! ...Because I loved Harlow so much so I had Tommy be super nice to her LOL. When (SLIGHT SPOILER) I got the option to have him drink tea I didn't yet know whether to trust her, so I was polite and then said Tommy just didn't want tea right now xD. (If there's an option to drink tea the next time, I do trust her now though so I will definitely have him drink the tea LOL).
Thank you for your answer, this makes a lot of sense ^^ As I said, I often play with my laptop at mid sound (not too high not too low) and the tv at high sound, plus the fish tank and a pup that sometimes makes noise when he's wild plus guinea pigs... it must've drowned it out haha. But hey! At least you know you replicated an empty, silent room so well that I thought there was no sound LOL. Thank you so much ^^
oooh this is so cool and the. the what do you call that. the music. its. i love it and the amount of detail you can put into your character is. i love it so much. also. CHOMPSKY THE HELLHOUND SQUIRREL!!! oh I love this so much. tommy. tommy no. also DND LET'S GO NAT 20S
First of all tommy, its the most tactical and reliable piece of wear that i will always use, im not gonna change it, ever. it even has different modes for the damned's sake! ITS CROCS, THE BEST CHOICE OF FOOTWEAR TOMMY, YOU WOULDNT GET IT.
I’ve seen this game around when scrolling through for IFs but never had a chance to play it and now i regret not playing sooner cus the aesthetics and the writing is simply immaculate
I love the amount of detail in demon customization, especially in aesthetics, I cant wait to play as two different Zorloks with the exact opposite fashion taste (Goth and sweet pastel)
I can’t bring myself to be a complete asshole to tommy so he’s just gunna have two overprotective parents on both playthroughs
The customization is enough to make me cry it's absolutely wonderful and I was really captivated in the story thus far! I can't wait to figure out why Tommy's friend has been acting that way. Overall I loved how cocky the demon was when being introduced and how now it's a whole clean slate because of Tommy 😭
This ended too soon. I was planning on playing this for hours lol.. it seems really good so far despite it not being much. I especially loved the character customisation. We can choose make-up, to dress hot/sexy or cute.. have piercings.. you did very well on character creation, even our pet is customizable but the story ended right after lol.
I'll come back from time to time to check on this. good luck!
Hmm, I think that the page automatically saved as I was making changes to it so the version that was live was an old browser file. I just checked and didn't notice this problem but please let me know if the problem persists.
I think that itch.io saved while I was making changes to this page and accidentally set an old draft as the active game file. Please let me know if the problem persists though.
I understand if you have your personal reasons for not updating/releasing chapter 1 yet, but a small update about what is going on would really put all of our minds at ease im sure. ‘v’ you don’t have to go into detail, of course, but it’d be nice to at least know if this is an abandoned project case or you just need more time. :)) ♥️
Thank you and sorry for the lack of response. I go into some detail here but I've been off media for the past week and a half completing finals and midterms for several of my summer courses. Sorry that I'm just getting to answering this now. This project isn't abandoned, I just haven't had as much time as I'd like to work on it so the next chapter has been delayed.
Holy heck this is really cool! The Zorlok I made was like deceptively average but if given the option I want them to be a menace to society. This was fun, can't wait to see what happens next
OBSESSED with this game !!!!! the customization was super fun !!!!!! (and the fact that the customization actually Affects thing is so cool, i made my demon a punk guy and tommy was like "little conspicuous dont you think" which i thought was funny asdklasjf) but the writing is super funny, esp the interactions between the demon and tommy, and this whole game is super super charming !!!! so excited to see more !!!!
I came for a short IF experience and stayed for the most competent dress-up section I have ever found. I will be returning and yes it will be purely to play dress-up with a demon-thingy each time
this was amazing and i'm so excited for the next release. the customization (and i'm not lying when i say that i've never played an IF with so much detail in the customization), music, characters and story so far are top tier. i'm really looking forward to see what you have planned for this!!
oh and side note, i especially love how trans friendly and diverse this was <3
Yesss one of the IFs of all time tbh. The character customisation is so great and I can’t wait to read more of the story. Love all the options for customising your Z so much. It really encourages replaying the game. Well done Albie, amazing work 👏👏👏

This game is illegal; the MC is too cute and the plot is very good. the potential for this game is very high.
Keep up the great work, man! Hope you're able to find the motivation to update when you can, I'll follow you to know when the update is coming!
gotta make dude become cool
out of all the games like this when it comes to character creation, this is the best i have seen hands down. I am very excited for to play more and laugh at tommy and pray along with him for those sweet wonderful nat 20's
I'ma be the coolest gay uncle that hell and earth has ever seen for this dweeb
can’t wait for the update make sure to take your time though things aren’t as good if people are tired while doing them but still love this
I like this very much! I can't wait to play the next segments!
don't overexert yourself on our behalf though, take your time.
Man, Tommy, why??? Out of everything you could have said, you literally chose the worst way of expressing yourself. 🤣

Ahhh I keep coming back to this. So good :) Cant wait for the rest!
Is this still being worked on?
Yep
daaaam tommy. you. really just deleted all of Zorlock's memory
Ah yes, Zorlock the Puffy Boi, most fearsome.
Hey, found a typo. "horde all your magic for yourself?" Should be "hoard".
Ah! Thank you :)
:) no problem!
oooh this is so cool and the. the what do you call that. the music. its. i love it and the amount of detail you can put into your character is. i love it so much. also. CHOMPSKY THE HELLHOUND SQUIRREL!!! oh I love this so much. tommy. tommy no. also DND LET'S GO NAT 20S
Damn you, Tommy.
Lmao I love this already, I can't wait to explore Tommy and Zorlok relationship.
This is God tier omg
First of all tommy, its the most tactical and reliable piece of wear that i will always use, im not gonna change it, ever. it even has different modes for the damned's sake! ITS CROCS, THE BEST CHOICE OF FOOTWEAR TOMMY, YOU WOULDNT GET IT.
I-
*SPOILER WARNING*
BRO I was thinking I was playing as Tommy but I'm really playing as ZORLOK?? That was a crazy twist I didn't expect.
Isnt it- isnt it in the description?
YUP I just didn't read the description! I always forget to!
Ohhhh, this looks so promising!
Though trying save gives me an error message.
:)
Got a demonic Goat named Pickles, 10000/10. 😭
I named my hellhound, "Boy". Someone is more creative than me 😂
I’ve seen this game around when scrolling through for IFs but never had a chance to play it and now i regret not playing sooner cus the aesthetics and the writing is simply immaculate
I love the amount of detail in demon customization, especially in aesthetics, I cant wait to play as two different Zorloks with the exact opposite fashion taste (Goth and sweet pastel)
I can’t bring myself to be a complete asshole to tommy so he’s just gunna have two overprotective parents on both playthroughs
I have only had Tommy for 20 minutes, but if anything happened to him my Zorlok and I would kill everyone in this room and then ourselves.
Can't wait to see more!!
The customization is enough to make me cry it's absolutely wonderful and I was really captivated in the story thus far! I can't wait to figure out why Tommy's friend has been acting that way. Overall I loved how cocky the demon was when being introduced and how now it's a whole clean slate because of Tommy 😭
I love the amount of customization and descriptions you put in this, hoping for more updates in the future! ^^
This ended too soon. I was planning on playing this for hours lol.. it seems really good so far despite it not being much. I especially loved the character customisation. We can choose make-up, to dress hot/sexy or cute.. have piercings.. you did very well on character creation, even our pet is customizable but the story ended right after lol.
I'll come back from time to time to check on this. good luck!
Oh my fricking gosh the hilarity
I know that you just got back, but i just wanted to report a bug ;v;![]()
theres no next button or anything
Hmm, I think that the page automatically saved as I was making changes to it so the version that was live was an old browser file. I just checked and didn't notice this problem but please let me know if the problem persists.
Question. Why doesnt the choices go past where you have to tell harlow the truth about why tommy came there like it did before?
the same thing is happening to me right now, it wasn't doing that the first time that i played zorlok though
I think that itch.io saved while I was making changes to this page and accidentally set an old draft as the active game file. Please let me know if the problem persists though.
i think it's fixed, everything is working again, ty :)
Awesome! Thank you! :)
Take your time going to wait as long as I can
Thank you <3 Unfortunately, it'll be a little while longer for chapter 1 (more info here)
I understand if you have your personal reasons for not updating/releasing chapter 1 yet, but a small update about what is going on would really put all of our minds at ease im sure. ‘v’ you don’t have to go into detail, of course, but it’d be nice to at least know if this is an abandoned project case or you just need more time. :)) ♥️
