Short story โ and progress update!
A scene of Watson and Lestrade ๐ฅฐA wonderful prompt from the Discord made me write a scene that is only mentioned in the game. The moment when W and L met up for a favour at the precinct, and talked about the Edinburgh case, and about... Sherlock, and all that good stuff!It has two parts, and each part is from the POV of the RO, not mentioned in the title, and so the pronouns are of course relevant for the other one.

Progress update and Q&A - May 2025
I'm doing another Q&A! ๐ This time, as I'm very much knee-deep in Victorian ball and dance and romance writing, I'll pick out just a few asks that I think I can do well and in a timely manner ๐ (Cause as much as I loved the Valentine's letters... well, it took a while ๐)But you can send multiple asks if you like!And if you send a prompt-esque ask, please write which RO or NPC you're most interested in!CH6.2 Progress u...

Lestrade short story โจ If Sherlock took to crime
Y'all have been asking me, since the start of this whole project, "What if Sherlock took to crime and did so verywell?"What if Sherlock became the worst killer London had ever seen?We all know they'd be capable of such a thing. Don't we? ๐Remember this part from Chapter 5?โWe all expect great things the day you can't find an excuse from your own company... There's really only a few worthy ways this all ends. When ...
๐ I need y'all's quick take on the ballโ
[Closed poll] 2. Experience control WON!I need to get the pulse on something, and polls always help me figure things out in the grand scheme of things better than anything.At the ball, there will be a branching of different things to do.Imagine something similar to the Ch1 crime scene branching + some of the vibe of the carriage in Ch2 with Watson.I am trying to determine if you all like time management or would rather have complete control of th...

Plans for the next two weeks ๐
This week:Friday 7th, update public build ch6.1 with W pov and more.Send another batch of the Valentine's letters to Patreon.Next week:Upload linear fiction story for Lestrade on Patreon.Another Patreon free tier to paid tier giveaway. (Remind me if I forget...)Sneak peek below for y'all of the Valentine's letters (there's like... 30 of them, but basically, Patreon users got to send letters, and the game characters answered them)....
I'm curious:
looking at my posted stuff on patreon, I do think itโs Lโs time for new content. But maybe Iโll do a linear thing cause they already have so many minigames compared to the others. But after that itโs been a while since W has had a minigame (and boy do I have ideas)H is definitelylacking linear contentBut I just wanted to check in โ who do you feel you want content of most next:(It's ok to just pick your main RO because you want to s...

Testing the porting to Itch โจ (still CS)
Hi hi!With Dashingdon shutting down its WIP hosting, which is where I've been hosting my ChoiceScript files, I wanted to try the Itch porting. So I've ported the Douchstrade minigame to Itch, with the same code, but a new save system.It should be and feel pretty much the same. I think the saves should be more stable though. Please tell me if this is working for y'all.If it does I'll move the whole game soon.โค๏ธ

The moment of MC's reveal. I think I could have it by early ...
I wanted to ask โ
The reason I greyed out this choice was because I wanted to remember to ask y'all if this is a choice y'all feel would be interesting to have. In my head, it will allow you to have a one/two-page reflection about L and how you feel about what has gone down andmeeting them again.And also, a similar little moment about W and H if they aren't in the carriage with you! (+ maybe one other bonus reflection ๐โจ)So let me know if that'...
