DUSKFALL

What is DUSKFALL?

In its own world, DUSKFALL is a revolutionary Survival-Horror Crafting VR Sandbox game. The game was developed by MANIK PIX-E studios in 2020. It entered Early Access two years later and gained a large, deeply devoted fanbase. But when the game was finally launched into it's final form after ten long years, it's fans were dismayed. Not only was beloved land of Nerthus changed nearly beyond recognition, but the gameplay has been altered and no one can log-out.

In reality, it's the setting of a series of books beginning with The Forest Dark, which launched for free on patreon in March 2019.

This is a world rife with demons, budding friendships, and years-long rivalries all revolving around a single question: how were these gamers trapped inside a digital world, and why?

As a reader, I've long been fascinated with alternate worlds, particularly what it would be like to be trapped in one--not an uncommon topic, I know. But I always wanted to do my own spin on the subject. Inspiration struck when I lost my home to a natural disaster; the helplessness, heartache, and the new surreality of my surroundings... it's all fuel for the fire.

Enter, DUSKFALL.

At current, the series focuses on two characters: Alexa Gonzales, and Justin Hayes. Both are long term veterans of DUSKFALL, who play the game for very different reasons. After an explosive end to their friendship, they're thrust back into the game where they quickly learn that even burnt bridges can provide some shelter in a storm.
