A Smile to Hide (CYOA/WWYFF)

Three years ago, the murder of your best friend has started the entanglement of all the peace that was gained, and the longer that your town lives in the lies they don't realize they're surrounded by, the stronger the hatred between humans and beings grows.

Revealing your best friend's true murderer is only the tip of the iceberg as you learn of other horrors at Fintan's Academy. As you learn and hone your own ability, you develop strong bonds with people whom you could never imagine meeting even possible. All become important, all become irreplaceable, but one becomes everything:

An old friend whose worries and feelings become split between you and his flame back home.

Your vampire roommate who doesn't know how to keep herself out of danger in her search for a friend.

A cambion who’s stuck in his old habits in the bedroom, desperately trying to prove that he's serious about one thing.

A tough-as-nails lesbian siren whose dreams of being a musician isn't the only dream she has.

A dark elf whose past still haunts him, but learns that his art isn't the only thing that will help him see the brighter side of himself.

A nature faerie who's still trying to figure out what she wants, and trying to find her own path on life and love.

Another human stuck with the wrong crowd, trying to free himself from a guilt that doesn't let go.

The live-wire werecat whose devotion to friends and family are only rivaled by blinis, learns that patience really is a virtue.

That is, you'll meet your potential match if you make it to Fintan's Academy. Dangers still lurk everywhere, and not everyone can be trusted.
