This is being done in hopes that someone will be able to pick it up and finish it someday. Barabbas no longer works on this game (but he has given permission for the community to decompile and continue it), so some or all of the contact info, bug reporting data, etc may no longer apply. If you are interested in this port, and helping out or adding to it, please visit the Echo Hollow Discord Server or find me on the TFGamesSite Fora. The stable release of the game can be found at https://www.echohollow.net/games/TMMR/current-stable/ . The in-development unstable source code can be found at http://svn.echohollow.net/tmmr/unstable/ . The original options menu has been disabled for now because it was incompatible with Sugarcube 2. Until we make a new one, you can choose here at the start whether or not you want to view nonconsentual content for the rest of the game. [[Continue, with nonconsentual content ENABLED.]] [[Continue, with nonconsentual content DISABLED.]] :: Continue, with nonconsentual content ENABLED. <><> :: Continue, with nonconsentual content DISABLED. <><> :: OldStart [nosave] This is an interactive story, sometimes called a gamebook (popularly known as a Choose Your Own Adventure after the most well known gamebook company). DISCLAIMER: This story contains extremely explicit sexual scenes with heavy BDSM and humiliation themes: content includes oral, anal, M/F, M/M, F/F, and group, some semi-nonconsensual or even outright nonconsensual (trigger warning!), and male to female gender transformation. The player can usually avoid engaging in most of this content most of the time, but probably can't avoid hearing about it. Note that the story also includes some extremely politically incorrect and potentially offensive opinions and examples of gender relations which do not reflect the views of the author, who considers the setting of the story to be a fantasy universe and not the real world. Be sure that this is something you want to read before continuing. ''I WOULD CAUTION AGAINST TRYING TO "SEE ALL THE CONTENT" IF ANY OF THE THINGS I'VE MENTIONED MIGHT BOTHER YOU. ANYBODY WITH SERIOUS ISSUES WITH THE TYPES OF CONTENT LISTED ABOVE SHOULD SIMPLY NOT PLAY THIS GAME. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.''

Please try something else. :: Introduction Your name is Parker Comstock. [[You]] were a fairly ordinary teenage boy until recently. You've always been small and delicate with features which are even a bit feminine. You never had many friends except your best friend Billy who was also something of a social outcast. Billy would try to get you involved with his other friends, but they never seemed to like you much. Your father was an insurance executive. He didn't approve of most modern technology so you never had a cellphone or been allowed to go on Facebook like all your friends. You think this may have had something to do with your social isolation, but your father was always very kind to you and would comfort you whenever you got bullied at school or something so you still adored him. Your mother worked as a personal assistant to a chemical company executive and your relationship with her was always more distant. Then your father died in a car accident a year ago. Shortly after, your mother bought an entirely new wardrobe and started dressing very differently for work. Short skirts with stockings, high heels, push-up bras, that sort of thing. Appropriate for work, but really close to the line. At some point she started having an affair with her boss. Or at least so you figured, though she never told you. But all the late nights at the office with her boss driving her home, obviously intoxicated, with her clothes in disarray and reeking with the smell of semen.... Well, you don't need to be hit over the head. You eventually reconciled yourself to the reality that your mother had become a slut. Worse, her boss was married with a couple of kids. You'd always been pretty non-confrontational so you didn't make anything of it, though privately you raged at this betrayal of your dead father. A few weeks ago, she announced that the two of you would be moving in with her boss, away from Eastbourne where you've lived all your life, and you'd have to switch schools to the suburban school in Rosestead where he lives. You were livid; you had finally gotten yourself a girlfriend - Emily, who you had met while roller-skating with Billy and who went to another school. Sure, you'd only gotten to first base a couple of times and never gotten to second, and you always felt like she was about to break up with you, but it was something. And you'd also have to move away from Billy. "Besides," you said, "I thought he had a wife and kids?" Your mother then informed you that the two of you would be moving in with him, his wife, and his children. "That's crazy," you said. "Why would his wife possibly agree to this?" But [[your mother|Rosalind]] wouldn't explain it. "Maybe the rich are different," you thought.

There is also an FAQ on the sidebar with a few very frequently asked questions. Legacy Credits: This game was created using TheMadExile's SugarCube header. I (sic Barabbas) would like to give a very special thanks to TheMadExile for his work on the header which finally adds save and load functions for Twine and makes a great many improvements and corrections to the standard Twine headers. He has also provided a large amount of technical assistance and most of the "fancy" features available in //Mystique// not typically found in other Twine games are thanks to him. Also special thanks to Unstable Egghead who made a number of very useful changes to the Twine editor, which greatly helped with certain technical problems I'd (sic Barabbas) been having. Thanks to RIPCPU for introducing me (sic Barabbas) to Twine. Thanks to Fun Times, Drpwrites, Lig, Ana, Bobmarquis2002, Serpent, and Visiter for suggesting scenes or plot ideas. Thanks to TimeBunny for creating the Wiki page for the game and to JoeMill and Lig for suggesting some improvements to the game's beta-testing interface. Thanks to Pixelmancer for designing the table on the stats screen. Thanks to Lig, Bobmarquis2002, aScannerDarkly, and Emmeken for the horror movie titles. And thanks to all the rest of the beta-testers on TFGS (Tontje, CeilingCat, Emmeken, Millstone, Bobmarquis2002, Smuggl3r, Heartbroken, Lig, Eres1012, Axillia, Pixelmancer, Fiftysheep, FeiFongWong, Darthan, Daishi, ChandraMagic, Tick Tock, Laevus, Karen, Kenrou, Retromancer, RIPCPU, Napdragon, Mondayschild, and many, many others) who have supported the story, caught my bugs, inconsistencies, or mistakes or otherwise generally made the game better.
