This story is based on the game Duskwood created by Everbyte Studio. Its the retelling of the events of the game starting from episode 1 but with more fleshed out MC here called Jules. I have tried my best to keep the MC more relatable to everyone so as to not exclude anyone. Hope you still like the story even though MC is more fleshed out.
It's my way of thanking the Everbyte team and to connect with the community and give people the feel of playing the game without solving those pesky minigames(jk I understand their importance and I would play them again to flirt with Jake).I am going on this revisit to ease the pain while I wait for the tenth and final episode.
For people who have never played I have written it in a way where you will still understand it but I would still recommend playing the game. I hope you all like it!
