NEWS! Tldr, I'm working on a new story with a smaller scope because, if I'm being completely honest, Run Cried the Crawling is a big bite for me to chew right now. It's my first attempt at IF and really my first piece of writing ever shared (online or otherwise.)
I want to make it clear that it is not abandoned!! But it will be put on pause while I work on Tether, and gain the skills and confidence I desperately need to finish this project.
If you're interested in Tether, it will be up on my page very shortly. I hope to make updates a bit more regular with it, something semi-scheduled.
Thank you everyone for the love you've shown this story. It means the world to have people delve into the depths of the Thicket with me.
Wow this is really cool! The world building and atmosphere that you're building up is really engaging, and the characters, besides being really well written, also have a great sense of fragile unity, one that seems like it could break apart at any moment. The tension is amazing, and the MC's whole struggle with "something being wrong" with them is also well presented and heartfelt. Is this still continuing?
I genuinely have not enjoyed an IF in so long. The world-building was amazing, it was seriously immersive. I can't wait for more!! Also I love Ajuna <3
ahhh wow i loved it! for some reason kal is the love of my life now. please tell me we will be able to shower them with love they deserve. I love this story
EDIT:fixed by switching to desktop mode and changing text size in settings
Was playing on Mobile last night and made the text size bigger. When I woke up and tried to continue, this happened. The text size on the opening is huge and since it's locked in landscape mode it hides the buttons. I can't play bc I can't scroll down.
Wonderfully innovative setting, fantastic writing, pacing on point, not a single uninteresting character....keep up the beautiful work, you are doing amazing!
screaming crying throwing up this was so good but also I think I may be slightly depressed now? I have no clue why. Post demo depression just hits harder with this one.
It's inspired by a song by Agnes Obel called "Run Cried the Crawling." It feels mildly non-sensical and it started off as just a place holder name for the story, but I grew too attached to it.
Unfortunately I messed around with the code too much in between updates and had to use and old file of the game to recover it, which is probably why all the old saves are gone. Definitely a learning experience for me and will try to not do it again :0
One of the most exquisite things I've ever read is this. The IF is so original and full of fascinating concepts that it's unlike anything I've ever read. I can't wait to read the upcoming chapters! I totally adore the narrative tension in this one...so exciting.
And ofc ✨😮💨 I have no reason not to love Faren...
hello i found a bug right at the beginning where on mobile of you change the size of the text the title covers the whole starting screen and you can't play. this looks like a great if and im looking forward to playing :3
oh my God, with much adoration, I’m going to say that it’s beautifully written!
I don't have much to say but, you, author, did a great job delivering the intense yet somewhat melancholic atmosphere. I’m at edge most times while exploring the unique world you’ve written here. Thank you kindly for sharing this work with us.
p.s. I’m becoming fond of Faren, his competitive spirit is charming (giggles)
It's been a hot minute since i've been engrossed in a world setting!! This is a really unique premise, i love that this is fantasy, but implications is that this was the modern day before Something happened and now there's giant ass trees that humanity is living in, many centuries later. Some part of humanity that is, im sussing the ground floor real hard. im curious about what's wrong with us tho. what did mom do?? those dreams cant be for nothing. maybe we dont have any connections to the gods and that's why the stones arent working. maybe its been severed somehow
I just wanted to let you know that i haven't enjoy such a nice and interesting lore in long time. The idea is very unique, ttbh since i read it half asleep i thought that they were pixies at first (or something like that lmao) I would gladly follow this IF journey and i hope you wouldn't lose motivation and i can see mc solving all mysteries since im very hooked ಠωಠ
I love the red guards <3 Faren is hard edged but I have a feeling he has a bit of a soft side maybe Im wrong but if we're able to get under his skin in a good way I feel like he'll show it eventually.
Since there no way to minimize the side menu when I try to read it on my phone, the left side of what you have written is cut through by the side of the menu. If that makes sense. It's the only way I can explain it.
It should hopefully be fixed now! If it isn't, I would recommend playing on browser or rotating your phone horizontally until I figure out how to work this code 😭

(spoiler) i'm anxious to know why i could choose the name and appearence of the arrow guy
screaming crying throwing up this was so good but also I think I may be slightly depressed now? I have no clue why. Post demo depression just hits harder with this one.
What does the title of this story mean? I've been trying to figure it out for a while.
It's inspired by a song by Agnes Obel called "Run Cried the Crawling." It feels mildly non-sensical and it started off as just a place holder name for the story, but I grew too attached to it.
Ah okay, thanks!
I wanted to play the new update but when I looked at the save, all of them are gone..?! I use Chrome ;;

Mobile really is the bane of my existence :,( I'll be looking into it before the next chapter comes out!
oh my God, with much adoration, I’m going to say that it’s beautifully written!

Thank you! Intense and melancholic is my bread and butter :,)

So many things to uncover >:) I love hearing your theories
i am so in love with kal pls help lmao ... i love this so much btw :)
In the kindest way possible, you may suffer <3

Thank you! I'm definitely very motivated to finish it right now. Most of the outline is already written I just have to put in in paper :)
This is so god damn GOOD! I cannot wait to see where you take it.
Thank you! <3 I'm really looking forwards to all the reveals >:)
Loving it !
I just started chp 3 and got this error:

it's fixed now! but the demo ends in the next passage anyways so there's not much to see
love it!!!
