FANTASY CASCADE- Episode 2

a twine game about accepting queerness, making friends (?) and the second installment in the Fantasy Cascade episodic series. it takes place in the world of Morbit, which you don't need any information on to experience this twine- but for those interested, you can explore our forums (18+) and wiki more here. this twine is written by both Mortis Velasquez(specifically Ringor Mortis) and Shivers, both members of the HD team.

wilson is a "concept", a species that physically reflects their inner selves as they grow- unfortunately for him, he's been saddled with tears as a motif, which doesn't help when you're promoted to a position you didn't even want, dealing with an intimidating new coworker, and seeing manifestations of wistful, queer intimacy in your dreams. episode 2: volley focuses on introducing the character of redial, delving into wilson's childhood struggles, and learning to accept the concept of support and friendship.

volley is 158 passages long and contains over 100 accompanying illustrations, along with a 9 song backing soundtrack by Heike and Pink of Cat (available for purchase at a later date).
