✧UROBOROSis a 17+ fantasy interactive fiction novel written in Twine. Play as the deity of eternity, powerless and deemed useless among gods, for nothing lasts forever. A struggle between mortals and gods sparks a conflict that may bring an end to the age of the divine rule.
This game will be completely free to play in its entirety; no necessary in-game content will ever be monetized.
You are the deity of All That Lasts Forever, a being born of the Chaotic Universe and moulded in divinity. One that exists among gods of lore, with the power to change seasons, conjure great storms, and raise life from dust.
This is not even a question. I just wanted to say that I found out about your game yesterday and spent all day obsessed with it. I think I´ve red all I could about it and the characters, and it still doesn´t feel like enough.
I used to write a lot and I just... stopped. I always have hundreds of ideas that I just push away because I say to myself that I don´t have the time, but you made me want to write again, and I can´t thank you enough for that
Hello Anon,
You have no idea how much your words mean to me, receiving words from another writer. :)
There are many nights I lie in bed reading back on my work, and I find myself repulsed by the decisions I made – and you cannot imagine that, by the power of your own words, I have begun to look upon my own with more kindness. To think that my work can be adored makes it harder for me to be harsh against it.
There is no greater praise than to hear I’ve motivated you to pick up writing again, and you have also inspired me to write as well. We are both working hard! Thank you again for your kindness, Anon ♥️♥️
Do you need a proofreader? I'm totally not finding for more Uroboros content, hehe... Just a normal guy. Good at grammar, mind you!
But seriously, how's the writing process going?
Hello Anon!
A lot of my time is definitely taken up proofreading and testing between myself and one other. The point of publicly sharing a WIP is to get public feedback, but I’d still like it to be readable and a smooth experience when it’s shared!
So I am very grateful for your offer! In fact, when Chapter 2 comes out, I’ll likely be putting out a form to get feedback about the Prologue & Chapter 1 that will provide early access to the Chapter 2; then I'l be able to get some initial reactions and feedback before fully releasing it. We’ll see!!
I will say that the writing process has been much, much more enjoyable after taking a break from Uroboros, giving me a renewed perspective. There might be some changes to the lore, characters, etc. as time goes on, and I’m excited to share how it evolves. I am already thinking of changing scenes in Chapter 1; for example, I am not satisfied with the absence of cyclical symbolism, so I’ll be incorporating that more.
Progress has been slow because of major projects happening in my life, but I’m slowly shifting back into working on Uroboros. ♥️
Thank you so much for the offer and asking, Anon!! ♥️♥️
I’m trying to resist rewriting any part of the Prologue and Chapter 1, but I might edit a bit to improve flow and cut down on some (many) unnecessary adjectives and phrases. 😱
In other news: I’ve been extremely excited to work on Chapter 2, which is taking a peek into MC’s past and introducing more of the pantheon into the story! Of course, it’ll be advancing the plot in the present as well.
That minor rewrite might come before Chapter 2 lands, but it will be nothing to replay over and a very small announcement.
You see a glimpse of their younger self—Salvatore from a bygone era, when things seemed less complicated, less troubling. You think time has robbed them a part of their spirit. They have become busy. So very busy.

My previous code was completely incomprehensible; here is a MUCH simpler and elegant solution with jQuery. Thanks to TheMadExile for their post on splash screens! This is simply a modification of their original code. In this case, please do not credit me.
Features
Compatible with backgrounds.
Adjustable fade in, fade out, and delay.
Default is a black screen, but can use a web image instead.
Overall much more flexible, smooth, and clean.
Just get the JavaScript here and the CSS here. Instructions and demo on Itch.io, but instructions also below readme.
Their reputation precedes them; from the mutterings afloat in the afterlife to the tales written in books, their presence is like an omen. Amid a hall flooded with lights and color, they are a dark taint, a foreboding what is to come.
