Pinkybites

"Legend says a vampire's resurrection is a terrifying and glamorous event. Legend clearly never had to wake up in a suburban basement." After four centuries of undisturbed sleep, Mercy is yanked back to life when an indie band accidentally knocks a stake out of her chest. She is an Arch-Duchess, a self-proclaimed Ethical Hematologist, and a deeply unimpressed resident of a stranger's basement. Her ancestral mansion is gone. Her fortune is dust. And the three mortals standing over her coffin want her to be their lead vocalist. With the Battle of the Bands three weeks away and a $5,000 prize on the line, Mercy strikes a deal. She will front the band Pinkybites in exchange for survival in a century she barely understands. But somewhere between the tomato juice transfusions, her wounded heart starts beating again for the first time in four hundred years. Three musicians. Three scars. - Judith is the bassist who ran away to escape her past. Warm, hopeful, and quietly terrified of the world. - Zero is the drummer holding himself together with rhythm. Clean now, but only barely. - Arlo is the guitarist who writes pain into every riff. All bark, buried scars, and infuriating sincerity. Sharp tongued banter slowly gives way to something neither of you planned. Every late night conversation, every shared silence, every choice brings Mercy closer to one of them... or further away. Every conversation, every errand, every late night shapes who Mercy becomes in this century and who she becomes closest to. Every decision shapes: - Your relationships with each band member - The dynamic within Pinkybites - How your story and theirs ends Multiple paths. Multiple endings. - Hand-illustrated art - Rhythm minigame, step up and actually perform with Pinkybites - Branching dialogue and multi-route relationship system - Multiple endings shaped entirely by your choices - Dark comedy with real emotional weight
