Dark Impulses
Dark Impulses is a 18+ yandere interactive fiction story with an emphasis on horror, romance, and erotic elements. It focuses on the corruption of the main character as they become irrevocably linked with a mysterious man who takes an extreme interest in them.
The Story:
You live in dangerous times. Many say that the world is ending, others claim that this is just a trial that shall pass. But not even you as a member of the High Church know what the truth is. All you know is that dangerous creatures roam the streets at night, searching to spill innocent blood, and that Father Sun won’t answer your prayers.
Each day holds a bigger trial than the last, and while your faith in Him has kept you strong through it all, you fear the day it won’t be enough… A fear that becomes true when you met a stranger in the woods.
Change is coming, will you remain pure?
Key Features:
- Customize your MC.
- Gender: male, female, transgender and nonbinary options.
- Appearance: complexion, eye color, height, and hair (color/type/length).
- Personality: fiery, playful, and genuine.
- Navigate the world through strength, charisma, intellect, or skullduggery.
- Learn more about the darkness around you, and decide for yourself if it means the end or a new beginning.
- Choose how to overcome the trails ahead of you, not all roads lead to a happy ending.
- A yandere love interest.
- Accept his advances, try to befriend him, or grow to hate him.
Warnings:
This story contains sexual themes, gore, violence, dubious morality, referenced child abuse, yandere tendencies, unhealthy relationships, and optional fetish content (dubcon, predator/prey, degradation, etc...). It's NOT for everyone, please don't play this to hurt yourself in any way.
Author's note: This is my first project EVER, and it was inspired by all the amazing yandere games out there! I wanted to make something as well, but I don't know how to draw, so... writing it is!
You can follow me on Tumblr (@timidloner) for more updates! Or to report any typos/bugs you find, I’d be really grateful for that :D

i actually liked this… seemed good
I abandon waiting honestly, i probably won't have long to live and the author still hasn't made any sings of coming back, i hope she's alright tho, and i hope she can finish this game for all the waiting souls out there since i apparently won't be here to witness it, shame this was the most interesting WIP i've ever come across
Apparently someone in the comments said the creator is going to revamp it. Are you okay though? I hope you're okay cuz it sounds like you're going through some rough stuff.
Oh, i just hope i'll be able to play it and thank you for your concern, my doctor said i might have ischaemic heart disease, honestly i am afraid of finding out, but i'll need to soon enough, so that's why i probably won't live long to witness it, anyway, life's too short to waste
Im sorry, it sucks that you're going through health stuff. I empathize with having to go through a lot of health scares since I have chronic illnesses while having health anxiety and health phobias.
I hope I'm not being a busybody but--If nobody has told you yet, you'll be okay no matter what happens. You'll be okay and you'll figure out new ways to tackle this with your doctor. Don't jump to the immediate scary thoughts. Also something that helps me is writing out questions and answering them. It calms my health nerves. Ex: "what are you afraid of?", "Is that fear grounded in my current reality?", "Am I currently safe?", "What can't I control right now?", "What DO I have control over at this moment?".
I hope you'll get some good news and heal up asap so you can read more IFs! I'm cheering you on! ❤️
This was honestly the most encouraging and comforting words I have heard in a while, believe me when I tell you that this is all I needed to keep going through this, and you're right I might not be at my best right now, but I'll manage I'll find a way to get through this hopefully and I think the key to actually doing that is finding out whether I have it or not, I've been so scared for a really long while to find out and honestly I think I just need to face it no matter what life throws at me I just wish I had a shoulder to cry on, and I hope you are doing well yourself, and you're right again life is too short I have so many IF's download it and I was just too depressed to actually get to playing them, but I think I might actually get back to them because your words really gave me the strength to keep pushing through my day so thank you so much friend, i wish you the best 💚
I'm glad if my words have helped! You can always message me if you need support! I understand too cuz I don't have a support system, but just know you're not alone!
Btw Tumblr has this feature called Kokobot where you can anonymously vent/ talk about problems and worries and have the support of many people responding to you. Only positive comments are allowed and it honestly made me feel tons better. You also have the option to help others if you can. I highly recommend checking it out if you have a Tumblr acc! :)
Also I'm in full support of you doing things that make you happy. I think discovering small things that calm you down and going back to them when you feel stressed can be helpful. Like yoga, tea, weighted blankets, comfort foods/shows, games, books.
You'll be okay regardless of the outcome and I also wish you health and happiness ❤️
It's been a while since you posted this, but I hope that you're doing well. <3 Stay strong!!
if the author changes their mind and abandons this, i hope someone can make their own version
Author 🥺
this seems so interesting;;
Another dead IF I was looking forward to on the list..
Where's the download link?
It's supposed to be an interactive story, made with Twine so it's supposed to be played on browser, few games like this have download links actually
Oh, i wasn't aware. Thanks for letting me know!
Don't mention it, i am glad i was of help! :3
This would've been great if there's a downloaded version. Don't have access to wifi all the time.
I'm relaying a message for everyone that's curious, I messaged the author about the games progress and they've said they don't plan to drop the game, rather re-vamp it into a smaller project.
Any other word over the last six months?
Do anyone know when the author will return ? ^^"
I really hope to see you return to this project some day, it's really intrigued me.
Another abandoned wip? ;-;
we don't know, it's kinda strange, four months ago she just stopped any activity sign.
Totally not strange. I'd say it's typical and predictable.
I've been following IFs community for a long time and I see that about 95% of authors disappear without a word after some time. I suppose it's because they are beginners who were excited to make the game, but when difficulties arise their enthusiasm fades. I kind of understand them and respect that they tried (creating interactive game is damn hard thing imo), but annoys me that hardly anyone deigns to inform fans they are giving up the project. It's not right if they made their WIPs public and found followers.
Look... I didn't expect such a good story, my sincere congratulations.
And I want more🩷🩷🩷
so i got to the part where is ask me to either walk around the temp or do chores and i chose do chores then it said " thats it for now" in orange witch mean you can push to to go to the next page but it wouldint let me so now im need to know if thats a glitch or the end of the demo and god i feel like an idiot for asking this question
I- It says that's it for now. That means that's it for now. Like, the end of the demo.
from their tumbler, they seem to be fine but just has a writers block :)
Well, i hope so too. Im staying on the optimistic side and assume its a writers block, but wishing them well if its anything else :)
yeah you're right :))
interesting start. made me scream im devastation when i got to the end bc i wanted more. i really like how the world is set up. i am curious where this will go.
Oh this was quite interesting, especially with the world building around it. It's got a good start and though it's pretty early (from the demo) to tell how it'll shape itself up to be, but so far it's pretty promising especially with the reactions of MC. Looking forward to see how the rest of Chapter 1 pans out! Goodluck with the development and take care~!
I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE!!!
I think I have used up all my luck in this month to be able to stumble upon this precious gold mine. Great writing, a variable of choices, and a yandere Li? *chef kiss*
I will stay here forever to wait for the next update, love ya, love ya writing :3 can’t wait for more :33
Excited for more !!
I CANT WAIT FOR MORE!!
not usually a person who consumes much yandere content but i see a lot of potential here. :) Will definitely be keeping and eye on this one!
Surprisingly short, but extremely interesting!
I know it may be a dumb question but I was wondering if we will be ale to defy the church? I just feel there's something wrong with it. :P
Aa that was surprisingly short
♡
hypeeee i love yanderes <3 looking forward to see the rest!
Simply amazing, I'll be waiting impatiently for more
Don't know if I already commented here, but don't care. I can't express just how hyped I am for this. Like, I'm checking their tumblr and this page every. day. for updates. Like, a yandere IF?! mOfO, get out the way before I run you over on my way here.
...
any ways, no pressure.
Hahaha!! Thank you, this was very nice to read. Unfortunately, I'm a slow writer, but I'm making progress!!
excited to read more!!
Thanks <3!
so very excited to continue this, you’ve really intrigued me with the beginning and a yandere twine game has been something I’ve wanted for ages!
Thank you! And yes! Yanderes are more common in visual novels, maybe because to like VNs, you must have liked anime/manga at some point before, where you were introduced to the yandere trope. Kinda like a pipeline.
And you don't have to like anime/manga beforehand to enjoy IFs. At most, you can find some toxic romances, but true yandere characters are a rarity.
Also, I feel like VNs (and their consumers) allow for more disturbing content and unhealthy LIs than IFs do.
But this is just my theory, of course!
Hello, I like the concept for this game. However, will it ever be possible to choose the Yandere's gender, or is his character set in stone?
Thank you, and I'm afraid the yandere won't be customizable.
ah, I understand. Good luck on your game.
when i try to play it in browser it says that something is wrong and it's aborting ;-;
Edit. It says
A fatal error has occurred. Aborting.
Error: no valid storage adapters found.
Hi! I'm sorry to hear that, I uploaded a new file right now, maybe you can play this one?
I'll try again! It also might have just been my computer lol
I absolutely love the concept, consider me a dedicated fan. I was wanting to write something that had a slightly similar concept but I have zero motivation to do something like this, no coding knowledge, and even less talent for it ☹️ i'm glad someone out there shares the idea but actually has the skill and ambition to make it happen. 💫 Thank you so much for making this!
Hey, if I can do it, then you can do it too!! All my writing experience consists of six fanfics that flopped, I had zero coding knowledge prior to this (can pass you the links I used to learn), and I have typos everywhere because English is my second language.
Thank you for the kind words, and I totally believe you're capable of doing something like this if you ever want to!!
well....came for the erotic yandere and stayed for the plot lmao,
this looks amazing and the storyline is so captivating!! I can't wait for more!
Haha, thank you! I wanted to make it more than just an erotic IF, to make it more enjoyable!
Shit. An actually solid start to what seems to be a solid fantasy story! Didn't expect this since I came initially for the Yandere tag and erotic tag combination which is really rare. Is there anyway we could choose the gender of the yandere since from what I've read its originally planned for them to be male? Some typos though but so rare I'd miss it if I blinked. GJ!
Thank you for the kind words! Dark Impulses may be an erotic yandere story first, but I have always been fond of "porn with plot".
And yes, the yandere is planned to be male. I'm not really interested in attracting the highest number of readers, so I'm taking liberties and just writing what I really want, haha
I'm happy that my typos didn't bother you! My first language is Spanish, and I don't have any beta readers, so I can't really do much about that! :(
I will try to work on that, though!!
I'm crying so badly over this omg like the comment below is there a set date for chapter 1? :D
Thank you! I gave more information in the comment below, but I'm adding new content to the game before November ends!
okay thank you so much for your workkk!!
god, IT WAS SO GOOD ! i can't wait for chapter 1 !! Is there a release date for the next chapter ?
Thank you! Chapter 1 was planned to be released this month, but since I had the masochist idea of having three different plotlines, it's becoming a monster to write, haha! Still, this way you'll feel like choices really matter, so it's going to be worth it.
I'm updating the game before November ends anyway, but it will just have one plotline, I'm doing this since I promised my followers on Tumblr new content and I want to keep my word. The complete Chapter 1... may be done in two months, haha...
Grasping at my screen, foaming at the mouth. My impatience is screaming at me right now. Can’t wait for the next update, holy moly! <3
Aw, thank you for the kind words!!
Omg a yandere if! Giving you million kisses❥ Can't wait for the next update!
Thank you <3!
i bit those mfs and i wanna do it more. can't wait for more!!!
HAHA! I'm actually making that a running joke, you'll get to bite more people!!
YESSS!! YOU'RE THE BEST!!
