Out now, for ECTOCOMP 2026: A new short, free game. Interactive horror-comedy. Murder, gin, and the stupid side of dark academia.
First, Second, and Third Persons by Bruno Dias
Have you ever been to a party and thought: "Wow, I'd like to kill everyone here"?

Just quickly wanted to announce that my new #InteractiveFiction, No., is out now on itch (itch.io/jam/ectocomp...). It's a very dark #horror about sexual violence and body autonomy. It's very short, I wrote it in 4 hours for #Ectocomp, which is a great #gamejam that you should check out.

Ectocomp goes live in just under 12 hours! It's one of my favorite interactive fiction events.

I play tested a few entrants and liked each of them. It should be a good time!

For the first time in a good long while, I have a new game out! CHRONIC PAIN MASOCHIST was the most difficult to write I've ever done, and I had to do it in under four hours. It's about pain, love, and lies. Give it and all the other #ECTOCOMP games a look!

The cover art for CHRONIC PAIN MASOCHIST. Both the letters and the background appear to be made of shattered glass.

[some-subscribed-rss] New Post: New release: First, Second, and Third Persons, by Bruno Dias https://azhdarchid.com/first-second-third-persons/
Teaser: This Halloween, a new interactive fiction release arrives from the mind behind *Azhdarchid*: *First, Second, and Third Persons*, a short horror-comedy for ECTOCOMP 2026. Set in 1957, it follows Josephine Sable—a freshly minted physics PhD with no job and several problems to solve. The game promises a blend of death, the absurd side of dark academia, and that unmistakable feeling of showing up to the wrong party and wishing you could kill everyone there. A punchy, atmospheric teaser that leaves you wanting to step into Josephine’s shoes—and see just how wrong things can go. teaser for https://azhdarchid.com/first-second-third-persons/ generated by deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash

Late night teaser. October 31st, of course. Smaller and shorter than Kinophobia, perhaps ~1 hour of play. New genre of sexy horror I'm calling "Dumb Academia"
Whiteish text on a black-ish background, styled like a microfiche negative of a science journal article. Proceedings of the Ectocomp Vol. XIX First, Second and Third Persons Bruno Dias Abstract. A new method is demonstrated for the furtherance of academic careers, through the repeated application of an irruptive break in local spatio-temporal conditions.

Mildly worried that the thing in writing for ectocomp might not really land with people because it is so, so mean (towards its characters, not the player).

Do I have time to come up with an Ectocomp entry AND finish developing Torchlike so it's ready to release right after Next Fest?

Let's find out.

It's Octobertime, which means #ECTOCOMP2026 is now open for entries!

If you have four hours before 10/30, you can enter a mini spooky story in the speed IF category. And if it grows into a bloated oversized monster of a spooky story, well, there's a category for that too! itch.io/jam/ectocomp...
