Gale writes the kind of mm dark/gray romance that makes you question your life choices in the best possible way. When not crafting morally questionable characters doing questionable things, she can be found buried in a book, rolling dice in yet another D&D campaign, or frantically crocheting while binge-watching whatever series has stolen her soul.


She is a gaming enthusiast, horror movie aficionado, and BL manhwa collector who believes the best stories live in those deliciously gray areas. Between wrangling her four kids and making elaborate to-do lists (that will definitely be ignored), she is always down to geek out over a good book rec or debate which problematic character deserves more love.

I also kept a list of ways I definitely wanted to kill Levi and Asher 😅

So to answer your question: a stack of hand drawn maps. For the NPCs that would still be alive, I rolled dice to decide that. I had 5 more horrifying monsters they could have encountered, a bunch of puzzles, like 15 clues that could have helped, but as I worked through the story, I realized Levi would definitely miss a good chunk of them because Asher was being Asher.

Levi's fumbling through his first few resets in the sanitarium are VERY MUCH based on how I played Outlast the first time: I got scared, ran around like a ding dong, and died a lot. (less)

This was a really unique and well executed concept. I enjoyed the heck out of it. The 50-80% mark got a little repetitive, and there were handful grammatical and consistency errors that I caught, but tbh I didn’t r" Read more of this review »

“It wasn’t fear for his project. It wasn’t even concern about his methods
being exposed. Nor was it about losing the artist or the voice or the beautiful broken instrument he'd been creating.

It was pure, unbridled terror”
Gale Ian Tate, Discordant Cultivation
