I’m feeling this void inside me after finishing this season and still in hope of the new season, not knowing when it will be released. But of course I will patiently wait for the new season, no rush OvO Grateful to the creators of this masterpiece UvU love yaaa
And actually I think I saw an error somewhere and forgot to screenshot it, it was when I chose a choice and it lead to 2 other choices: “Intervene” and “Wait”. However, both of them lead to a dead end because the content has not been written.
Side note/ a little bit spoiler:
I was so taken aback at the scene I thought was to be hot and even hotter with zillah when he just literally ran away because Roe was a virgin XD hahahaha Thanks for the surprise lol
hello um i have a question..so ive been reading some stuff about the game and im a little confused because if i remember correctly there wasnt much said about roes parents other than there dead but ive been searching for more and i ended up on fanarts and while scrolling there was this meme about roe having a scthe... and now im wondering if i missed anything then theres also this one who asked if we'll learn more about roe's mother in s3? and then something about fucking death (quite literally)? whats this about? im so confused... is this already answered? or maybe its mentioned in wayward road? hmm.. ill just scroll a bit more to see if i could find more i guess... i cant play it for some reason so i dont know ive read about it in the comments section and found it there and im assuming its connected to s1 so there could be something said about it? i dont really know... i dont know how things really work and i dont really want to bother people with stupid questions soo...yeah thats about it oh and love the game! its fuckin great! keep up the good work :)
A note for MAC users: if you have an ERROR when importing your save files from Season 1.
Export your save with the button on the last screen + just to be save also save your saves to your disc from the left hand menu and save it to a USB.
Open the game on Windows and load your save to S1 and export from the last screen or try to import your export files right to S2 on Windows and everything should work without any errors.
After a successful import do the stat check and just follow the instructions on screen in S2 before the episode starts
And after everything your game should start in the first episode without any loss of any stats and choices.
Save the begging of EP1 on the left hand side menu with "save to disc" and than to your USB
Go to your MAC open the game, load your save from your USB and everything should load on the first episode where you saved with everything working properly.
And enjoy your adventure! Don't forget to rate this amazing game so more people can find it and enjoy this masterpiece!
Just recently got into the world of interactive fiction because looking for shows to watch on my streaming services just weren’t doing it for me atm. I’m so happy that you’re the first creator I stumbled upon, because I have just been straight addicted to this series. Finishing my playthrough for season 2 left a hole in my heart and made me go crazy for wanting more.
Long story short, I ended up purchasing S1 and 2 so I can do multiple games whenever I want and you gained another patreon supporter! I can’t wait to see more of your work and I’m dying to see how my choices for my original run affect the story.
Side note: I know I said I’m going crazy here, but there’s no need to rush, I’m sure a great story like this takes time.
I did chris x m!MC and really like character development for Chris. This is my first time reading story that has development like Chris one. Absolutely amazing. The way Chris finally understand his feeling and do it so suddenly, I cried fr TT
This game is awesome! Really good stuff, the lore gives heavy supernatural vibes but with it's own nice little twists. I love it! Can't wait for season 3 :)
Hii!! First of all, I love this story, is so well written and so interesting... but I have I little problem, every time I try to import the file to start the season 2 I end with this... and I don't know why :( (im in a Mac)
I tried to export the file to another computer (Windows) and there is working, then send me again to my Mac and now is working... I hope this can help other people who have the same problem :)!
heyyy, loved season 1 so im rlly excited to play s2! Currently experiencing some issues with importing my game tho. I'm on Mac, and every time I try to import my save I get a long list of errors. If anyone knows what I could do to fix it, I'd really appreciate it!
How do I pass the important check? I import my character and the game told me to choose the pronouns option to continue? And i just kinda stuck there, i see no other option to continue or anything.
Not sure if you've fixed it already, but my problem was that my fear was still listed as "unknown". So if any of your stats/story elements/whatever is listed as unknown you have to choose an option.
Um what the hell, I was not expecting this masterpiece of a story. I loved it so much I have become a patreon, honestly so well deserved. If you have this on your list but haven't played it yet, STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND DO IT NOW. Or don't because waiting for the next season is complete torture.
Random ramblings:
I was originally romancing Chris but he really tested me emotionally in this season, I persisted and honestly he is so lovely.
My bad boy loving heart loved Zillah so much I had to start a new character from the beginning and romance him as well.
God. Damn. Seriously, just God. Damn. The sheer length of S1 and S2 is amazing for these types of stories, i've spent more time reading these than playing big budget video games and I loved every minute of it.
I'll admit, I save scummed and on my 2nd playthrough used the guide (Cause somehow I messed up Syd's romance :c) but i'm absolutey hooked and can't wait for S3
Also i'm kicking myself for not realizing what Roe was, I dunno if I was just to tired or not paying enough attention, or paying to much attention, but the reveal should have been obvious yet I didn't see it coming. If I thought about it, I should have realized, but I was so engrossed in the story I didn't have time to think about it
Only problem is, when S3 does finally come out... Imma have to start from the start, cause i never load old saves B)
Hellooo.. i couldn't import my data on my iphone but when I tried sending the file to my pc, it worked perfectly fine.. but the thing is, I really wanted to read the story on my phone so i can read it wherever and whenever i wanted to.. helpppp! :(
I cried so much this season. 9/10. Ugh. FOOD. Feed us the third season pls.
When you're reading a story and say to yourself "That's why you don't have friends/children" you know it hits hard.
Also I have a question. I feel like the "Nerve" count is like what kind approach we take for dialogues and choices (like hot-blooded/cold-blooded or assertive/submissive).
So is it normal that my 'Nerve' count is at -46 ? (pls answer I'm scared to play with this Roe)
SPOILER (I guess)
Bradley my boy.....MY SON I LOVE HIM I'MSORRYFORTHEMEMORYBLOCK
Chris is finally a useful character (still a dumbass but we love you). I didn't like him that much but choosing Bradley over him and see him cry was worse than all the Hell chapters.
Jeff best character fight me
Zillah horny mf get bonked (this mf has the worst timing when it comes to seggs)
Syd angry lesbian (or bisexual i don't know) queen we love her
Rahim...whatever lol....Everytime I try to like you you do some dumbshit
Amari so sweet she deserves all the pats in the world
Faye pls so caring and aborable to me even when I'm dying :)
Lucia you hella sus stop looking at Zillah like that I'll kil you hoe :)
Smoking that Petri and Langston pack ;) thank you for killing them i hated them particularly the bald headed one :)
I have a theory so I found this thing where it shows the characters and gives information about those characters and other things like werecats, and werebirds. Anyways I have a theory that Roe is a tribrid because I read that usually tribrids die between or in there 20’s and in superstition season 2 Roe is taken by Azrael to meet Death him or herself.
WARNING SPOILER-FILLED SUPER LONG REVIEW (DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T WANNA GET SPOILED)
TL;DR: This story is one of those diamonds in a grand crevasse filled with rocks. I give it a 9/10.
First of all, I just wanna say that I've been looking for interactive fictions just to pass the time. I got here off of a recommendation thread on Reddit. So I'm gonna give an utterly honest review for this. I rarely give reviews to anything that allows for a review mostly because they don't impact my life in any way enough for me to give a damn about it. But seeing as I find myself giving this a lengthy review then the author clearly has done something right here.
To the author, thank you for bringing all of your ideas from your mind to the physical world. It's one of those times where people stop to think that they're glad they were born at this specific time frame in the universe that allowed them to read this story. The plot is really damn, sizzling good.
A lot of people have said the story is pretty linear. But you know what, even though I take a liking to complicated plots, I actually like this "linear" plot. It has some flaws to it in some parts of course but the way its written makes up for it. I can probably point out a few but they're actually very tiny you wouldn't even notice if you don't think twice or thrice. The way the story is structured makes me recognize a few similarities it has to other fictions I've read. The part where Bradley asks Roe which anime he preferred, I immediately realized that the author was a person of culture (I hit subbed ofc). And it reminded me of Attack on Titan and how grim the overarching plot was with everything going wrong and with the way you dropped some subtle foreshadowing. It actually felt realistic reading it. If I'm going to describe it, it's like the love-child between the writing method of Wayhaven, almost the world building of AoT, the internet-cultured memery and Hebrew/Greek mythology.
The thing I love about this is that there are moral dilemmas everywhere and they actually impact the story in the long run enough for me to consider "damn this went the wrong way, time to load up a save from ages ago" (I'm playing as a guy btw). That and because you ACTUALLY gave us the entire wheel to steer the story with and it draws readers in because it makes them feel like themselves and that they are included in the story (there are stories that feel like they're on autopilot so I'm pointing this out thank you). Most of the time it stops me to think up a prediction of what the next events might be and when I found out about Raum being a demon chasing Syd, a supposed "witch", I immediately thought something was fishy so I sat down and thought that maybe she was a princess of hell, maybe Lucifer's kid or some high ranking demon, either one of that because why would all hell break loose just to drag this woman back home if hell wasn't her home. And it pleased me to know that I was right. I've predicted numerous future events while reading (including Roe being an offspring of Death) and usually that throws me off because its predictable but lo and behold! - this one doesn't and it exhilarates me when I stop to think and predict. It's exciting! It makes me ask "and then what happens next?" One of the signs that let's me know the story is actually pretty good.
I was wondering by the way. But this prediction is such a long shot, I wouldn't even know if I'll hit or miss because Book 3 isn't even out so ima just put it out here. When Roe had that dream of being in a forest and seeing his corpse self, I think I recall that part where the sky tears apart and he says that it looks like the world is some sort of snow globe and someone is trying to destroy it. Now, I don't know why but this really stuck with me. It's so... very oddly specific. I know that the choice of words in this story aren't something readers shouldn't bat an eye on. Because I have been searching up what the name Roe meant and apparently it means deer. So I searched up what deers were meant for in the Bible and it says that they're "devoted to God". Now I'm not one to drag religion into anything but seeing as there has been a mention of Lucifer and Death and Roe literally asking Syd if there was a God. This is also the reason why I found out that Zillah wouldn't hurt Roe. I literally looked up his name and it meant "protector" and the story confirmed it. So since the story confirmed it, I further went on to read about Shades and the shadow people and there I found a wikipedia page talking about a letter from Alexander Pope to the recently passed Nicholas Rowe. Now, isn't that interesting. I don't know if this is a coincidence but the letter literally contained the words that meant "put your shade to eternal rest" and I took that as a foreshadowing that Roe was indeed dying. Lo and behold again - I was right. The only thing I have been wrong about is Roe being created by the God of the world. Because I was thinking, Azrael was the Angel of Death but he told Roe something along the lines of "The destruction of the world owes itself to you". So why did Azrael say this is what stumps me. Did he fear death? And I just assumed that he was the grim reaper himself but I later learned at the end that there was indeed Death himself and Azrael was just an "Angel" OF death. Another thing that bugs me is Lust and possibly Azrael working together and that the release of Lucifer and Roe being an offspring of death has something to do with the Angel Prophecy. I speculated this but is God trying to destroy the world? If so, then the only way to stop him is Lucifer and Death working together? I understand if Lucifer doesn't want to destroy the universe but I don't understand why Death is meddling. Isn't he supposed to be a mediator? I realized then that since Death has to meddle with mortals then something bigger than Syd being sacrificed to release Lucifer or Roe being a reaper is bound to happen which rounds me back to a theory that God is trying to destroy the world including demons and angels. No one would be spared hence everyone is somehow working together to prevent it. Well let's just see how this prediction goes. As much as I want to be right, I enjoy being wrong a lot more. It just proves that there may be something better than what my mind can think of.
Lastly, I'm ending this by saying that: there is a huge potential in this, author and I know that you'll guide that potential to the right path. Sure, everyone can pick up a pen, type on a keyboard and call it a story but not everyone can create a living, breathing world. The world you built feels real and the people in it feel alive, that's rare nowadays. I hope you know how much that distinguishes your story from the hundreds I have read. And I know Rahim has already said that classic stories were "too slow" and had unnecessary words put into them and I agree, definitely, simply because the modern english in your writing feels easier to read making it more engaging for the readers.
I only ask that you take as much time as you need to write the next 3 seasons. Heck, I wouldn't really even mind if it took you until 2030 to wrap things up if you choose to because I want it to be in its most perfect form.
Congrats, you created an entire universe! I would even go as far as to say that I would wanna see this as a movie/series or a game. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for the review! And I'm so glad that you enjoyed it, truly. If you can give any examples to the downsides to better hope me understand then please send them my way!
Hello, author! Thank you for the reply. I didn't think you would since I assume you would be very busy writing the next book, so thank you :D
I'll be glad to give some examples but I'll have to replay the game so I can give a thorough list of them and accurately specify which sentence/paragraph. Where can I send it?
Hey I don't know if I'm the only one but I couldn't import my save using mobile devices, then I tried sending the file to my pc to import it there and it worked, so this leads me to believe that the import mechanic is broken on mobile devices. If what I'm saying is indeed true then I would like to ask the author or someone else to fix it please. Love the game btw. I'm hooked.
This series is awesome. Great story, characters and superbly written. Just wanted to say to the author: you ROCK! Thanks so much for sharing this <3 Now I’m gonna go and replay season 1 because I’m already missing Sydero lol Can’t wait for the next season!
That is a really interesting theory. I also thought Roe might be half human, half reaper. I'm not sure about the whole Azrael possessing Roe's father tho, but I'd actually really like to know how you know all this. 😅
I've been thinking about watching Supernatural. I always thought it'd be all drama like other supernatural shows so I never watched. I've watched Charmed but didn't know it was also an inspiration for this. I'll have to replay this again soon!
Thanks for responding and taking the time to explain! I'm so sorry for the late reply.
I've played both Superstition seasons 1 & 2, and I have been inspired to create my own twine story. Problem is, I don't know how to program a twine project. I am mildly to moderately proficient in CSS and JavaScript, but I'm not sure how to apply it to twine. Does anyone know where I could learn how to program a Twine project?
You will find information about the various macros / commands you can use. These vary between the various story formats.
Depending on your level of familiarity with coding, the language used can be a bit overwhelming at first or make complete sense from the get go. It is always useful to try the macros out yourself to see how they work.
If you choose SugarCube, you should also go and check out the amazing custom macros some dedicated people created, especially those by Chapel.
In terms of how to learn how to code a Twine project:
If you have a specific question, you can try to search it online to find a discussion on the old Twinery forum. There's also the subreddit r/twinegames where you can go to ask questions.
And of course the most valuable help at the start: Read the code of a few already completed stories. See how these authors set things up, what you would do differently and what you wouldn't have thought of. As the Twine project files are all saved as HTML files, you can open them in different programs like Notepad++ or Sublime once you've downloaded them.

Amazing story.The ending was marvelous, makes you crave for the 3rd season <3
i finished playing it from start to finish for the 2nd time just for zillah.
SPOILERS!!!
i may have started crying when chris walked out on me cuz i had sex with zillah..
Uh yeah quick question how/when do you get this scene? Totally asking for a friend
You have to have romantic interests in Zillah, there's a guide on how to if you want it.
why does zillah not like virgins man
he dosnt??
it was a joke, and not a serious comment.
ohLMAO
I’m feeling this void inside me after finishing this season and still in hope of the new season, not knowing when it will be released. But of course I will patiently wait for the new season, no rush OvO Grateful to the creators of this masterpiece UvU love yaaa
And actually I think I saw an error somewhere and forgot to screenshot it, it was when I chose a choice and it lead to 2 other choices: “Intervene” and “Wait”. However, both of them lead to a dead end because the content has not been written.
Side note/ a little bit spoiler:
I was so taken aback at the scene I thought was to be hot and even hotter with zillah when he just literally ran away because Roe was a virgin XD hahahaha Thanks for the surprise lol

You get the answer at the end of Season 2. Very vague and of course will be explored in Season 3.
And thank you!

A note for MAC users: if you have an ERROR when importing your save files from Season 1.

Just binged the first two seasons. I can't wait for S3! It's been a slow burn, but Sydero X F!Roe for the win!
I agree! I actually also romanced Amari during S2 and then randomly found in the comments that there's a poly route for them lol.
The best supernatural themed game i have ever played. Can't wait for season 3.
This game is awesome! Really good stuff, the lore gives heavy supernatural vibes but with it's own nice little twists. I love it! Can't wait for season 3 :)
Amazing story. I can't wait for the next season.

Love chrisssss so much...and rahim too...huft...can't wait season 3,4 and 5 wmehehehe
heyyy, loved season 1 so im rlly excited to play s2! Currently experiencing some issues with importing my game tho. I'm on Mac, and every time I try to import my save I get a long list of errors. If anyone knows what I could do to fix it, I'd really appreciate it!

Love.It. Amazing story, I am waiting for the next book and I just CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

having the same problem :(
I love this so much I can't wait 4 the next season. But I have to pick between Chris and rahim.... I can't 😭
I know the choice is so hard!!! There should be an option to chose both!
I need help ^^;
I can import my progress, but I don't know how to get pass the "important check"?
It says "Imported Roe's: You must click the pronouns choice to continue on.", but I have and it just take me back to the page.
It also says:
Everyone: You all must go to story elements/fears and declare your fears.
I have confirmed my fears, and chose "When done, click here"
it just takes me back to the important check page
Edit: Restarted my computer; better now ^^;
I loved this season!!
oh also the tv show Charmed is epic! I hope there is another season!
So what would you call a witch-demon hybrid?
cambion? like syd?
I cried so much this season. 9/10. Ugh. FOOD. Feed us the third season pls.
When you're reading a story and say to yourself "That's why you don't have friends/children" you know it hits hard.
Also I have a question. I feel like the "Nerve" count is like what kind approach we take for dialogues and choices (like hot-blooded/cold-blooded or assertive/submissive).

Bradley my boy.....MY SON I LOVE HIM I'MSORRYFORTHEMEMORYBLOCK
Chris is finally a useful character (still a dumbass but we love you). I didn't like him that much but choosing Bradley over him and see him cry was worse than all the Hell chapters.
Jeff best character fight me
Zillah horny mf get bonked (this mf has the worst timing when it comes to seggs)
Syd angry lesbian (or bisexual i don't know) queen we love her
Rahim...whatever lol....Everytime I try to like you you do some dumbshit

Lucia you hella sus stop looking at Zillah like that I'll kil you hoe :)
Smoking that Petri and Langston pack ;) thank you for killing them i hated them particularly the bald headed one :)
Is the fact that zillah means shade and sydero means evil nymph intentional
Probably
the sydero romance doesn’t work, I can’t get the option to have any romance stuff even when i put points into it in a new game

Now, I don't know why but this really stuck with me. It's so... very oddly specific. I know that the choice of words in this story aren't something readers shouldn't bat an eye on. Because I have been searching up what the name Roe meant and apparently it means deer. So I searched up what deers were meant for in the Bible and it says that they're "devoted to God". Now I'm not one to drag religion into anything but seeing as there has been a mention of Lucifer and Death and Roe literally asking Syd if there was a God. This is also the reason why I found out that Zillah wouldn't hurt Roe. I literally looked up his name and it meant "protector" and the story confirmed it. So since the story confirmed it, I further went on to read about Shades and the shadow people and there I found a wikipedia page talking about a letter from Alexander Pope to the recently passed Nicholas Rowe. Now, isn't that interesting. I don't know if this is a coincidence but the letter literally contained the words that meant "put your shade to eternal rest" and I took that as a foreshadowing that Roe was indeed dying. Lo and behold again - I was right. The only thing I have been wrong about is Roe being created by the God of the world. Because I was thinking, Azrael was the Angel of Death but he told Roe something along the lines of "The destruction of the world owes itself to you". So why did Azrael say this is what stumps me. Did he fear death? And I just assumed that he was the grim reaper himself but I later learned at the end that there was indeed Death himself and Azrael was just an "Angel" OF death. Another thing that bugs me is Lust and possibly Azrael working together and that the release of Lucifer and Roe being an offspring of death has something to do with the Angel Prophecy. I speculated this but is God trying to destroy the world? If so, then the only way to stop him is Lucifer and Death working together? I understand if Lucifer doesn't want to destroy the universe but I don't understand why Death is meddling. Isn't he supposed to be a mediator? I realized then that since Death has to meddle with mortals then something bigger than Syd being sacrificed to release Lucifer or Roe being a reaper is bound to happen which rounds me back to a theory that God is trying to destroy the world including demons and angels. No one would be spared hence everyone is somehow working together to prevent it. Well let's just see how this prediction goes. As much as I want to be right, I enjoy being wrong a lot more. It just proves that there may be something better than what my mind can think of.
Lastly, I'm ending this by saying that: there is a huge potential in this, author and I know that you'll guide that potential to the right path. Sure, everyone can pick up a pen, type on a keyboard and call it a story but not everyone can create a living, breathing world. The world you built feels real and the people in it feel alive, that's rare nowadays. I hope you know how much that distinguishes your story from the hundreds I have read. And I know Rahim has already said that classic stories were "too slow" and had unnecessary words put into them and I agree, definitely, simply because the modern english in your writing feels easier to read making it more engaging for the readers.
I only ask that you take as much time as you need to write the next 3 seasons. Heck, I wouldn't really even mind if it took you until 2030 to wrap things up if you choose to because I want it to be in its most perfect form.
Congrats, you created an entire universe! I would even go as far as to say that I would wanna see this as a movie/series or a game. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for the review! And I'm so glad that you enjoyed it, truly. If you can give any examples to the downsides to better hope me understand then please send them my way!
Hello, author! Thank you for the reply. I didn't think you would since I assume you would be very busy writing the next book, so thank you :D
I'll be glad to give some examples but I'll have to replay the game so I can give a thorough list of them and accurately specify which sentence/paragraph. Where can I send it?
What is the thread on Reddit? I've read a lot of stories and am having a hard time finding new ones
Hey I don't know if I'm the only one but I couldn't import my save using mobile devices, then I tried sending the file to my pc to import it there and it worked, so this leads me to believe that the import mechanic is broken on mobile devices. If what I'm saying is indeed true then I would like to ask the author or someone else to fix it please. Love the game btw. I'm hooked.
i couldnt either
I solved the issue, I commented my solution on the comment section for season 1.
zillah is so hot lmao
He is lol
This series is awesome. Great story, characters and superbly written. Just wanted to say to the author: you ROCK! Thanks so much for sharing this <3 Now I’m gonna go and replay season 1 because I’m already missing Sydero lol Can’t wait for the next season!
absolutely in love with this series, played through season 1 and 2 today, might play it again tomorrow <3
can't seem to import my data I’m on a iPhone
That is a really interesting theory. I also thought Roe might be half human, half reaper. I'm not sure about the whole Azrael possessing Roe's father tho, but I'd actually really like to know how you know all this. 😅
I've been thinking about watching Supernatural. I always thought it'd be all drama like other supernatural shows so I never watched. I've watched Charmed but didn't know it was also an inspiration for this. I'll have to replay this again soon!
Thanks for responding and taking the time to explain! I'm so sorry for the late reply.
The original Charmed tv show or the remake?
Death and Azrael are different entities tho.
They are. Now I'm thinking Roe's father is Azrael.
Zillah didn’t kill Roe’s parents it was a different shade that Roe eould refer to as “Guardian”
*would*
I've played both Superstition seasons 1 & 2, and I have been inspired to create my own twine story. Problem is, I don't know how to program a twine project. I am mildly to moderately proficient in CSS and JavaScript, but I'm not sure how to apply it to twine. Does anyone know where I could learn how to program a Twine project?
Also, what format was Superstition made in?
Superstition is using the SugarCube format!
After choosing your story format, you should go and look for the documentary of it. This is SugarCube's:
https://www.motoslave.net/sugarcube/2/docs/
You will find information about the various macros / commands you can use. These vary between the various story formats.
Depending on your level of familiarity with coding, the language used can be a bit overwhelming at first or make complete sense from the get go. It is always useful to try the macros out yourself to see how they work.
If you choose SugarCube, you should also go and check out the amazing custom macros some dedicated people created, especially those by Chapel.
In terms of how to learn how to code a Twine project:
If you have a specific question, you can try to search it online to find a discussion on the old Twinery forum. There's also the subreddit r/twinegames where you can go to ask questions.
And of course the most valuable help at the start: Read the code of a few already completed stories. See how these authors set things up, what you would do differently and what you wouldn't have thought of. As the Twine project files are all saved as HTML files, you can open them in different programs like Notepad++ or Sublime once you've downloaded them.
I hope this helps a bit!
