Honestly, I'm still in the middle of finishing it but I find it hilarious how I chose Equinox as a name and it's been mentioned several times in the story which gets me confused like.
''How many Equinoxes ago was it?'' Like hellooo? I'm RIGHT here mister.
Hello! I hope you’re doing well. I played this game back when it was still at it’s beginning stages. I’ve been coming back to my old saved IF. I heard about you not feeling well and stuff. I just wanted to say take as long as you need. I’ve been working on my game for about 2-3 years now and I know what it’s like to not enjoy doing something anymore and stuff. I just want to say you have my support as a fellow creator. Excited for whatever happens next - R* from EstuFAWN Studios :)
I JUST discovered this from a friends recommendation and I'm so amazed!! I love the word-building and literally every character gjvfdzs Really looking forward to how this continues<33333
This game seems to not have been updated since 2022, yet the tumblr and patreon are still active. What is the status of the game at the moment, and can we expect more updates?
Edit: Dug through the patreon and answered my own questions. Hope the dev is feeling better and is enjoying writing again, and hope to see more of this wonderful little project.
Hi! Yes I'm hoping for an update later this year and am slowly ramping things up again. I really appreciate you leaving a comment and having interest in this project <3
Good evening. I'm a student of University of Amsterdam and currently I'm researching the ways to improve authoring experience of Interactive Digital Narrative creators. One of the things I've noticed is that authoring tools in general don't have the functionality to support planning beforehand. It seems you've got an extensive experience in non-linear writing (using Twine). I would like to interview you (or send you a survey/questionnaire) to understand your personal approach to creating stories and potentially see whether implementing a tool that supports planning can help you in your creative endeavours. Do you think you'll have time to talk to me about this? Thanks a lot for response. Kind regards, Julia
I enjoyed this immensely! The mysteries of the world are beginning to unravel and I'm curious to learn more. I'm also curious to see how the player character's different abilities will come into play.
first of all, I LOVE how naturally built-in the MC customisation is, rather than seeming forced like it can quite alot of the time in interactive fiction. The story and world-building is also SO intriguing and captivating. Thorougly enjoyed myself!
Now review aside, Oisein is CLEARLY the best enby. Love them so much-
Hi! For now The Nameless is solely written in English since I don't have the skill to translate it haha. I currently don't have plans for translations, but may revisit in the future!
This game is very enjoyable. Thank you for making it. I replayed it and was surprised how much different options change things (I shouldn’t have been but that means you’re doing something right). The world building and mystery is very engaging!
Hi! Thank you so much and I'm so glad you enjoyed! Yes the variability is something I really love to implement with this style of game, so I'm glad that's been able to offer so many different options :)
I occasionally come back here just to restart the story and reread it, I do dislike rereading stories but yours is one I simply just can’t say no to! I honestly love your work
Can you include a version with mooreaux's art? Of course there's nothing wrong with your art, it's quite good actually, well better then anything I can come up with lol, but I really prefer mooreaux's design more...maybe a download link to that version?...it's fine if you can't
When I commissioned the art, I received permission to use on the game page but not within the game - so I won’t be doing that! I’m extremely grateful and love mooreaux’s art too, but am proud of the game being entirely my own writing and art now. This is honestly an extremely disheartening message, and I hope you’ll put more consideration into your comments to creators in the future.
Hiya - and nothing really haha, they can still be found here! I've always wanted to transition to my own art that's in game for the main game page, and finally was happy enough with the updated art to do so at the last update!
Haven't checked the game in a while because I got busy 😔 has Oisein been updated to be he/they only? Because I absolutely love it and it makes me feel even closer to them.
Hi!! Yes! Oisein has been locked to nonbinary he/they - more information in this devlog! That's so lovely to hear - I'm much happier to write the character as their true self and how I imagine them! 💜
I love this IF and I am very excited to see it to it's completion! I used to avoid IF's, but I'm very glad the character art drew me in because it was definitely a pleasure to read through. I'm also glad about Oisein being adjusted, it felt odd to know they could be nonbinary or not, and they/he definitely fits them far better than just one set of pronouns.
Aw thank you so much for the kind words for the story and for the art! 🥰 And absolutely agree, I definitely fell into the every-RO-must-be-selectable trap when first starting The Nameless, so I'm happy to be more true to who they are now. 💜
Oh no! A part of me is excited because that's the intended effect but I am sorry about the scare haha. Thank you for the kind words and glad you enjoy the story and Oisein! 💜
Your welcome, and don't worry I find it rather cool too, and it kinda inspired me for that certain effect if I ever decide making an IF with Twine, ehe-
Been following this ever since I found it on choicescript and I'm literally obsessed!! The writing is so vibrant and the UI is just absolutely stunning. I did have a minor question about the pronoun variables in the section "After another scoff, the Magesmith rolls her shoulders", that I just noticed while replaying but I might just be confused and sleep deprived!
This is honestly such a gorgeous piece of work, from the worldbuilding to plot and execution, and I can't wait to see the future updates
Thank you so so much for your continued support even since then!! <3 I really appreciate the kind words 🥺 And oh! If you've noticed a bug or anything feel free to reply here/use the google form, or message me on tumblr and let me know what you've seen!
amazing story :) you fall in love with every character and the world parker's created tickles yours skin, as if you looked away you would find the streets of Renescen gleaming around you. my heart scrunched with overwhelming love for oisein so thank you for that as well.
Thank you so so much for the lovely words!! ❤️ I'm so glad that the world and characters came alive for you, and looking forward to sharing more with you! 😊
Hi! (Assuming this is asking for a downloadable version- ) As of now the game can only be played in a browser or else on the desktop itch app, both of which require an internet connection (at least I think this is true for the app as well!)
Help why is this amazing??? It only has three and a half chapters??? Thank you so much for all your hard work this story is truly breathtaking. I look forward to the future!
Thank you so much for the kind words!! <3 And glad you're enjoying the UI, I hope to keep improving the visuals and interface as the story continues! C:

YAY glad to hear it!! This is definitely one of my favorite demos I've stumbled across and I look forward to more.

" don’t ask about the arm if you’re expecting a straight answer." Could I get a gay answer though?
I CACKLED haha
DYINGGGG😭
I enjoyed this immensely! The mysteries of the world are beginning to unravel and I'm curious to learn more. I'm also curious to see how the player character's different abilities will come into play.
Thank you so much I'm glad you enjoy! Excited to implement more on the abilities later too > >
How many chapters are out right now? The description sounds so cool and I think I'll cry if there's only like one chapter out TvT
Hi! There's currently three and a half chapters and about 270k words with code included in the game so far :)

Now review aside, Oisein is CLEARLY the best enby. Love them so much-
I'm glad you enjoyed!! 🥰 and haha I’m definitely biased but totally agree 😌 Thank you for the lovely comment!

hi, could you add polish language to the nameless game?
Hi! For now The Nameless is solely written in English since I don't have the skill to translate it haha. I currently don't have plans for translations, but may revisit in the future!
I CHOSE THE HEALER BUT THEN THE DEMO ENDED CRYING RN
This game is very enjoyable. Thank you for making it. I replayed it and was surprised how much different options change things (I shouldn’t have been but that means you’re doing something right). The world building and mystery is very engaging!

Aaaw I love Oisein!
FOR REAL!
Hey, what happened to the old art that mooreaux had made? I'm just curious
Hiya - and nothing really haha, they can still be found here! I've always wanted to transition to my own art that's in game for the main game page, and finally was happy enough with the updated art to do so at the last update!
Oh wow really? That's awesome! And your art is absolutely fantastic!
Love the story just started it and just saw this comment and honestly i do love the artwork that is up now. It's beautiful and very well done.
I can't lie but I expected 1 chapter and instead got a blended drink of a perfect amount of text for multiple chapters
Haha, I'm glad you enjoyed! Can't wait to share more soon C:
Haven't checked the game in a while because I got busy 😔 has Oisein been updated to be he/they only? Because I absolutely love it and it makes me feel even closer to them.
Hi!! Yes! Oisein has been locked to nonbinary he/they - more information in this devlog! That's so lovely to hear - I'm much happier to write the character as their true self and how I imagine them! 💜
PLEASE oisein is SUCH an asshole i love them so much aaaa
Hahaha asshole (affectionate) is what I aim for with Oisein 😌 glad you like them!!
Love everything about this IF; the characters, the setting, the art, & it's game mechanics!
Hi! Thanks so much for your patience and thank you for the kind words!! ;_; <3 Hope you continue to enjoy!
i played through the entire demo-so-far in a day and i am thoroughly in love with oisein. beautiful worldbuilding, storytelling and characters!
Thank you so much!! So happy you enjoyed 💜
I love this IF and I am very excited to see it to it's completion! I used to avoid IF's, but I'm very glad the character art drew me in because it was definitely a pleasure to read through. I'm also glad about Oisein being adjusted, it felt odd to know they could be nonbinary or not, and they/he definitely fits them far better than just one set of pronouns.

I won't lie the 'glitch" text scared me, but nonetheless I think this IF is great, Oisein has my heart ^^
Oh no! A part of me is excited because that's the intended effect but I am sorry about the scare haha. Thank you for the kind words and glad you enjoy the story and Oisein! 💜

Thank you so so much for the lovely words!! ❤️ I'm so glad that the world and characters came alive for you, and looking forward to sharing more with you! 😊

Also waiting for more healer content~(whisper)
❤️
Ahhh so sorry thought I responded earlier, but thank you so much for the kind words and for the recommendation! Hope your friend enjoys ❤️
(whisper) More good good Healer content to come in the second part of Chap 4 ~ 👀
downloadable version
Hi! (Assuming this is asking for a downloadable version- ) As of now the game can only be played in a browser or else on the desktop itch app, both of which require an internet connection (at least I think this is true for the app as well!)
How do I get the ' Do you hear me ' choice when we investigating the odd sounds?
(Vague spoilers!) Oh that’s actually a fake choice haha - might be… someone else trying to speak to your character 👀
Help why is this amazing??? It only has three and a half chapters??? Thank you so much for all your hard work this story is truly breathtaking. I look forward to the future!
Thank you for the lovely comment!! ;_; <3 I’m looking forward to sharing more in the future as well!
the writing was so good!! and the ui is stunning :O
Thank you so much for the kind words!! <3 And glad you're enjoying the UI, I hope to keep improving the visuals and interface as the story continues! C:
I enjoyed this delicately crafted story.
Thank you and so glad you enjoyed! 🥰
The new graphic elements are Gorgeous.
Thank you so much!! ❤️ I hope it adds nicely to the game overall!
Hello, I could not play it on mobile because the new game and load game button are on top of the title. I could only click the setting.
Hi! Yes landscape orientation for phones is still in work. For mobile, the title menu/game are optimized for portrait mode!
Yes, I able to play it on portrait mode. Thank you so much!
