"When you're dead, you're dead. That's it." - Marlene Dietrich

Purgatory, the land of death and the origins of supernatural beings. Also, the place you find yourself in. Your past unravels as all the pieces you lacked in the past suddenly appear at your feet. Answers you never thought you would get now find themselves within your grasp. But that doesn’t mean you know what to do with them. Though your past is no longer a mystery, your future is. And it does not look bright. Another prophecy comes into play, and bonds are tested, strengthened, and broken.

If you thought everything in your past was the real test, then you were wrong. You are now officially in this life. There is no going back. There is no place for regrets and second thoughts. In a world as big as yours, will you be the prey or the predator?


  • Solidify your romance with one of five previously romance-able characters, or try on for a new romance, or just keep it moving and grooving.
  • Unlock the mysteries of your past while unraveling all that awaits you.
  • Figure out what type of supernatural you’ll be and where your values and strengths lie.
  • Get your weapon, learn how to master and embrace your newfound powers and become a major player in the game.
  • Will a choice today affect the final look of your future?

ok so I got to a "next time on superstition" page and there is no continue button. is that a glitch or did I finish it?? because I know if I finished it shouldn't it have a "thanks for playing page"? I can't progress for the episode "mother dearest". its an AMAZING story and I just want to finish what I can😭🫶

(+3)

Roe has been suffering way too much and it doesn't help that everyone is, at some point, either lying, taking advantage, keeping secrets, insulting, being mad, etc. I wonder how they haven't snap already, I know I would've gone batshit insane without a care if I had to go through all that. Would love it if there's a choice for Roe to snap thou. Looking forward to the next chapter, can't wait to play more 👏 

(1 edit)

There is only 4 episodes so far and I think one last season after this so we may see Roe snap.

this there ep 5

Episode 5 after 13Leagues finishes the rework of seasons 1 and 2

I'm at the part where I choose who my best friend is but I don't have any options to pick from??? Like, there's nothing for me to click on. Would this be a glitch orrrr?????

(1 edit)

 SOME ONE HELP ME WITH THE error :( Any1 else getting this

(+2)

Can you have sleep(😉) with Syndero in this season? I played the spinoffs and other seasons, and in those other ROs have 😉 scenes but Syndero just shrugg your advances off. Would that change here?

Play and find out. 😉

(+1)

my fav IF

(1 edit) (+2)(-1)

This game is so frustrating. Despite focusing on a combat build my ROE keep getting her ass kicked.

(+2)(-1)

How do I romance Rahim??? I've been trying ever since he's come but every new season I go to ends up sort of not registering that I'm going for his route :((((

(+2)(-2)

how do you get the poly with Syd and Amari?

(1 edit) (+1)

I think it's a bug preventing that and I believe 13Leagues will deal with it after the rewrites to the first two seasons.

(+1)

Are they back to working on this game?

Also - the bug is in the way the coding is handled IMO - virtually no way to fix it outside of a (almost) minor rewrite of the way its handled.

i TRULY hope they are still working on this. its an amazing story. inspired me to start my own (which i planned to release LAST october, but then rl shit (that lasted a whole f-ing year .... tried to release this october, but Episode one needs to be coded together... so unlikely to happen unless i stop replaying superstition every single day.....)

ANYWAYS.. point being...

Take care of your Mental Health, 13.   Then focus on the other shit you need for your rl, okay ? Loyal fans like me will be waiting whenever you are ready!

Also @13leagues , if you need someone to recode it for you, i've become intimately involved with twine coding lately and would be happy to work on the coding side of a rewrite for you.


(+2)

From the post about the update on the first season, they're focusing on the rewrites of Seasons 1 & 2. They said that the rewrites for the first season, which are still being worked on, are pretty significant but the ones for season two aren't as significant so it won't be as long a wait for that. You can read about it in the latest update notes for season 1 where they go into the 4.0 update, which also has an external link that talks more in depth about the update.

(+6)

Zillah can get my 😺💯💯💯

(+6)(-1)

Wanted to replay the game so i invested romance points into everyone in one game and saved it (so I wouldn't neet to do it again in another replay) When i saw the option being:

"This is the only option i see cause I'm romancing everyone"

I almost died of laugher i didn't even know that option was there 😂

(+3)(-2)

Honestly idk which character i love more i tried romancing all of them (Not in one game i did like a lot of replays from s2- s3) and I love Amaris 's personality but I've been romancing Sydero since s1 cause i JUST LOVE HER  I've also tried romancing Chris cause I was bored and wanted to see the other romances too 

And the writing of the whole game? THE STORY? It's awesome, I made a whole collection that's basically just superstition games

(+3)

I love this series, it's the most in-depth story game I've ever played and I live for it ^^

I'm not going to lie, I binged through all three seasons in two days, couldn't get enough of it. This really looks like it's a lot of work to make, so a big applause for you, it's amazing and so are your writing skills! It's the kind of writing level that I hope to achieve one day.

I  look forward to being able to read more of this masterpiece. 

(+3)

when’s more coming out? :3, this is legit my fav IF and I desperately need more

(+2)

Rewrites of the first two games first before more I think.

(+1)

Wait i thought the rewrites were already out

(2 edits)

Sadly, not yet. I don't personally know how they operate but I think 13 Leagues will be posting an update on Superstition Season One when the update of that season is complete. You can also check by going to 13League's tumblr page through the link and see that it's still ongoing.

Oh alright. Thanks for the information! I will make sure to check out the Tumblr page

(+4)

desperately need more... the world building, characters and all the different paths you can take are out of this world!! also Bradley's like a first born son to me

(+2)

Probably won't be any more for a while since 13Leagues is doing rewrites of the first two games. The first one is going to take longer to do since it's a significant rewrite while the second game might not take as long with the rewrite due to the fact it isn't going to be as significant.

(+3)

aw man that's a pity, excited for rewrites tho :) thanks for letting me know!!

I had the same problem ! Idk if you used a Mac or not but I advice you use a computer (not a Mac). Otherwise try with an android (not an iPhone), save the progressing, transfer the file to your computer and continue the game on it. I hope it will help you :)

ok thank you

(+3)

How is Zillah so damn fine istg my brain is tweaking for him.
Love this series fr

(+5)

Hello is there a problem that I can't seem to past “the mother dearest ” superstition chapter?  

(+2)

Did you get past it? Having the same problem..

(+1)

If you're having this problem too then it isn't fixed maybe? code error or bug perhaps 🤔

(+3)

I just realised that it is because they haven't posted the next chapter yet😪

(+1)

How did I not realize that… I’ve been wondering why it wouldn’t work for a while now.

(+2)

I think this is on hiatus until 13Leagues finishes the rewrites of Seasons 1 and 2

(+2)

Should i play from season 1 guys?? Anwer please

(2 edits) (+5)

Yes, because there is so much character development in seasons 1 and 2. It also helps you build up your relationships and friendships with those in the party with an entire overarching plotline. There are also so many spoilers for the first two seasons in this one. You can even bring your saves over once you complete the previous season from 1 into 2 and 2 into 3 so it's more consistent with your choices.

(+4)(-1)

thank you, I'll read all from s1 today, UwU

(+2)(-1)

Hope you love it. =0w0=

(+3)

season's 1 and 2 are essential to fully understand the world this is set up in, character connections, and understanding your own character.

(+2)

plus this series is just flat out an insanely good read.

(+1)

Is anyone working on a way to figure out how to trigger the whole Sydero/Amari romance? Because I'm trying to romance both of them and hit a dead end. I pick either at the start and I think it locks me out of the other because I lose all romance points with the other after a certain point later on. I even enabled the poly variable turned on after exporting the data from my S2 file. I'm currently using the browser version and I'm wondering if this is different in the downloaded version. Please help, I love them both so much.

(+4)

It's going to be redone after I finish the rewrites in a way that makes it much easier for you guys and for me. So, just be a bit patient with me. <3

(+2)

I will wait as long as it takes. <3

(+11)

Obsessed with Zillah. Hope the rest of Superstition is finished so I can continue my obsession with this  dork.

(1 edit) (+4)

Hello everyone i hope everyone is doing alright, i have made the poly relationship option open and I've reach on both Amari and Sydero's romance 11points, but as soon as i signed Sydero's cambion contract to be my partner i lost all the 11points accumulated on Amari's side. Does that mean i can't have both of them in a poly relationship or it just means that i should start accumulating Amari's romance points from 0 again. Thank you for your valuable time and your help. 

(+1)

yeah it probably means that, i remember when i was like romancing chris, i was also flirting with syd, and when i did that, my romance points with chris would fall to 0. I think if u want amari to be w you too you should not sign syd to be your partner

I had the same issue but I think it’s due to the tweaks made in Jan seeing as I didn’t have this problem originally. Honestly I’m just as stumped as you are 

(+4)

HEY, IS WHERE VIHAAN GOES TO TELL DEATH I NEED A TEACHER THE END BECAUSE IT NOT LETING ME PROGRESS TO THE NEXT CHAPTER

Same bro I am also unable to progress what to do

(+5)

just caught up, love this and thanks so much to the author. Fingers crossed the hiatus ends soon

(+1)

frrrr

(+11)

Superstition has dragged me back to interactive fiction games, truly the best of them and none could match the writing and worldbuilding and the feeling this has induced in me, special place in my heart come back soon dev <3

(+4)


I love this book and it's characters so much <3 I hope the ride never ends.

Yo how do we enter the poly relationship with Syd/Amari? I have 10+ romance on both of them and the poly variable on.

I don't see the lock in with Syd/Amari romance. Did I do something wrong? I have 11 romance points with both.

(+5)

i pulled an all nighter in the summer to play the three seasons back to back and now i am just waiting for any update at all and i hope that i didn't forget the plot . Great work <3

(+3)

I've read the current content of the series a Godly inappropriate amount of times and now i'm about to read it again. Stop creating such good IFs I BEG OF YOU!! STOP ENABLING ME!! My addiction to your work in general is not healthy. 

What story format do you use on Twine?

(2 edits) (+4)

So I have a problem... or something. Currently playing Episode 4 and I just noticed (in the coding) that there are a BUNCH of scenes you only get with a character if you have 10 romance points with them. I romanced Rahim (as a male MC) in the last episode and, to my knowledge, scored every romance point while still playing a character with a more stoic personality rather than a sweet one, and yet when I came into this 3rd part I only had 6 romance points with him and nothing I could have done so far has gotten me any more on top (I checked the coding), save for adding points at the start of the season, which I didn't want to do since it felt inorganic. So I've missed most of the romance parts including one that felt weird to have missed where he 'saves' the MC from being 'killed' in the first fight with the demons. It was honestly weird having my MC, who had kissed Rahim and who Rahim confesses to having strong feelings for, just stand there being strangled, etc when I read what I would have gotten had I had 10 romance points.
I get if it didn't meet the 10 point benchmark, but am a bit miffed it means Rahim wouldn't have even tried to help me and Amari did it instead.
In fact, the lack of romantic interaction with Rahim in general sucks at below 10 points, even minor bits that would make sense to happen for someone that is interested in my character. He doesn't even act happy or relieved to see my MC, beyond what everyone else does, when MC returns from Purgatory. 😑
I understand 6 isn't the same as 10, but it shouldn't mean SO little.

(+15)(-5)

Would've liked to have known that Syd was aro before I got invested several years ago.  I'm personally not interested in 'romancing' a character who can't reciprocate the MC's feelings.

(-2)

It has been stated that she is at least leaning on the ace spectrum. When you create your character in each new season, it is mentioned.

(+8)

It said that you could romance her with with an aro character, not that she was aro herself

(+3)

You're right, my mistake :0

(+8)

Agreed there, personally I was quite invested in that relationship, the entire S2 felt like peak fiction chasing after her but just the begining of chapter 3 really rather ruined it for me :X Very dissapointing from my point of view.

Its the writers business of course and she is a great character besides, but yea, knowing that the relationship is generally impossible to exist in the proper sense of the word makes it weird that she is labeled as "romanceable". 

I had hoped that there was more to it, even after I read the start of Season 3 but it was confirmed by the writer so thats just that. Nothing against writing such a character but I agree that it should be made clear to the reader in advance, otherwise I would have absolutely adored this romance, as is, it just cant really be called that.

(+1)

sorry I'm dumb, what was confirmed by the writer

(+2)

That she is aromantic, meaning she cant be romantically attracted to others. I have spoken to the writer on tumblr (I believe, its been a while but I think it was there) and he/she confirmed that Sydero is aromantic, quite dissapointing tbh, especially as there was a ton of other ways her relationship issues could have been explained. But what can you do.

Does locking into the Sydero route lock you out of the Sydero/Amari route?

(+1)

There's an option alongside the solo route that's for the poly route. Both of them are labeled as such.

I don't see the lock in. Did I do something wrong? I have 11 romance points with both.

(+7)

Soooo...when do we get to call Zillah daddy again?

(+3)(-1)

I'd love to have Zillah call my male MC 'daddy'. lol.

I just love the fact that we're able to make a lust demon question our life choices when it comes to bedding...whatever Zillah is. He was lust as well, or something similar/associated, didn't he say/indicate?

(+2)(-1)

Hello! I do not usually write comments too often, but I liked this and wondered if a poly route with the guys would be possible. Cause, to be honest, I am horrible with decisions and loved all three!

-Kind regards, Nico

(-1)

👀 I'd love know as well... 👀

(-1)

I'd love a poly with Chris and Rahim, tho Rahim does mention he's a one-partner kind of guy. Maybe Chris x Zillah? Hmm...

(+2)

does anyone know if this is still being updated? i'm so utterly in love with all the characters and storyline 

(+1)

The author posted on Tumblr about it.
