Dear Diary, We Created a Plot Hole!

Due to leaks from a lovely fellow, the itch.io version of the DDWCaPH! Beta Test is currently locked.

The demo will be available again once Chapter 4 is publicly out.

The day after you and your twin rewrote your mother's unfinished bedtime story, you quickly find out why she never finished it. You have unleashed a plot hole—a portal to different story worlds—and now the villains from the stories you've written have become real. They're here to crash your school fieldtrip, and they're here to finish your mother's story for good.

Grab your plot armor and join your twin and friends in a meta-fictional adventure! Explore different story worlds—from fantasy and sci-fi, to mythology and mystery. Will you discover the truth behind your mother’s story? Or will villains, plot twists, and character development prevent you from getting your happily ever after?

Dear Diary, We Created a Plot Hole! is an interactive slice-of-life fantasy adventure story.

DDWCaPH! is written as a love letter to all the kids-at-heart out there, who’d like to revisit their childhood and reimagine it as one big fantasy adventure.

It’s light-hearted, whimsical, and full of slice-of-life moments, but it also aims to explore, deconstruct, and reconstruct the themes about growing up and the more serious tropes about what it means to be a character in a story (such as character deaths and the abundance of orphan protagonists).

Volume 1 of DDWCaPH! is set in a fictional city in the Philippines, but later volumes will each feature a different genre and story world to explore. 

Once Volume 1 is complete, I am planning to convert the game into a Visual Novel!

In Auctorem Credimus is a sidequel short story I made in Twine for the interact-if ranked game jam! IAC won 1st Place in the Story & Plot Category, and 3rd Place Overall!

Please note that IAC contains heavy spoilers for DDWCaPH! and is told from an adult's perspective. It'll also be updated in the future to include more side stories.
