The WhatsNext verdict

If you want a long, character-driven supernatural romance with customizable identity and relationship routes, this delivers its appeal through banter and slow-burn attachment. Skip it if you mainly want a challenging detective mystery or highly branching consequences.

What it does best

  • Characters and romances that carry the entire experience

  • A protagonist that feels personally tailored

What might put you off

  • The detective mystery is much less important than the romance

  • Limited consequences and uneven prose

The setup

What you are walking into

Play as a detective on your first case in the small town of Wayhaven, opening your eyes to a world bigger than you thought. Totalling 440,000 words, this supernatural romance interactive novel allows you to pick your gender (female, male, or non-binary) and orientation (straight, gay, or bisexual). Choose which detective skills you will focus on - deduction, combat, science, or people skills. Use multiple dialogue options to express your personality and define your relationships with friends, family, and enemies. Start a romance with one of the vampires of Unit Bravo, to be developed over a 7 part series.
