The One Who Made Red (TOWMR) is an interactive text-based thriller/supernatural romance loosely based on the fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood, except a little darker and with a few more twists. This story will be made in Twine SugarCube.

The story will take place in the small village named Rose Bud that resembles medieval times. In this village, you will build relationships along with exploring this world made from twisted fairytales! Follow my Tumblr Blog for weekly updates on this project! 

This project is still a work in progress and will update as I finish each chapter. 

CONTENT WARNINGSthis story will contain elements that may trigger or make some audiences uncomfortable. Including gore, violence, mentions of death, possible sexual content. Each chapter will have listed content warnings found in the beginning of the game. All romance options are humans.

The Story

People in your village have gone missing. They're gone for days or even weeks. But...they all return in one place.

The Oakcaster Thicket. The forbidden forest. Someplace that nobody in their right mind would be found in, but your people were found there.

In pieces.

You along with others felt helpless, you the most as you were felt merely a small clothing tailor. The feeling grew so strong that fear became common. It was something people around you had gotten used to, like rain from the sky, they merely moved through it.

However, some hoped that The One in Red would save them. They were fools. You knew they wouldn't dare show their face to your people. Not after what they did or…what they are capable of doing.

You had started losing hope.

But then one day, two mysterious figures wander into your shop, questioning you about what you know about the monster in the woods that haunted your people.

Things in your world keep getting pulled apart.

Good thing you are used to stringing things together to get the bigger picture.

The question is, however, do you want to see what this picture will make?

The ROs

THE WOLF (M/F/NB)

…is one of the strangers that entered your shop...They go by Muriel/Malia/Maren...You would have thought that given their demeanor, they would have a stoic face, but it is concealed by a wooden mask that has been carved to resemble the animal their title holds. They regard everything in your village with disdain and caution. But maybe, with you, their chilly brown eyes will be filled with warmth. 

THE ONE IN RED (M/F)

…was the one who started this mess....few even know their name is Sherwin/Sayua....from the minute you met them, they always seemed deranged. They were either insane or simply grumpy; it was either/or. But that day, when they needed their cloak repaired, was months ago. But now that your hunt for The One In Red has begun, maybe you'll finally obtain the answers you've been looking for regarding the monster in the woods. Their dark skin and piercing eyes are well-known to you.

THE ONE WHO CRIED WOLF (M/F)

...also known as....Barnett/Bernadette Idoya...one of the few who survived the clutches of the monster in the woods, and your best friend. You've been friends your entire lives. They've made it their duty to make life easy for you and everyone else in the community. Their round faces complemented their lovely toothy smile. However, those warm eyes you've become accustomed to may conceal something darker.
