A downloadable interactive novel for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Six Months is an incomplete interactive novel. It is a sequel to Swan Hill, a twine story you can find here. Swan Hill takes most readers ten to fifteen minutes to play.

Six Months is slow-burning, low-key fantasy fiction in a world where magic is rare and ethically dubious. It's a murder mystery about power, family, and faking it until you make it. I ceased development on Six Months around 2017 but am still proud of the work I did in the demo.

Really hope you end up finding the time to finish this one day!

I don't know if you're still planning on finishing this, but I really hope you do someday! Will be keeping an eye on this project.

I just played this + Swan Hill for the first time, then sat at my desk and cried because I was overwhelmed by how much I love it. Thanks for making this, I can't wait to play the final game and literally die of dehydration.

thank you!!!!

Ughhh I love this thing so much ♥

Thanks!!
