What if the Cyber Sleuth games had featured more coffee, yuri, low-tech cyberpunk hacking, and existential horror? What would it look like if the main character had failed to defeat the Eaters once before, and with time reset, now had to reckon with the true nature of their half-cyber body? What if they understood from the beginning that they had only months in which to try and reshape the world, knowing full well they would fade away long before seeing the happy ending they worked so hard to create?
For the past year, I have been working on my most self-indulgent project ever: a serialized Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth fan fiction that builds on the themes and premises hinted at in the main game, all while making things more gay, introspective, and pulpy.
It is an ongoing, serialized story, currently sitting at eight chapters and ~95,000 words, with updates planned to continue every month or so into the future.
If you're a fan fic reader who is looking for something long to sink your teeth into, full of schloky, light novel sci-fi goodness, and with plenty of virtual reality, time travel, and monster collecting tropes to go around, then please give my work a read.
