Chop Shop is strictlyย 18+ย for language, themes, and potential explicit content.ย
๐ - Game Intro | Bug Report | ko-fi
WE ARE LIVE!!! Chop Shop has officially relaunched on Itch.io! Available to play on desktop, tablet and mobile.
Prologue - EP .02 are ready to play - the same as the previous demo - with a new word count of 120k. The choicescript demo will be taken down at the end of the month.
Thank you so much to those who have helped me during this transition period of development! It has been crazy frustrating but I am so much more in love with the game than ever. And thank you to everyone who has been patiently waiting - hope you enjoy all the new bits and bobs!!
AN: CS has had some significant rejigging and rewriting. You can read the authors notes under the cut.
chop shop now has it's own UI! woohoo! (totally did not kill me) this, of course, will come with teething problems and accessibility issues. i am welcome to constructive feedback!
there are a lot of new dialog boxes to explore, especially the dashboard, which includes the PC's profile, inventory, contacts and a glossary page. (the stat definitions page from the old choicescript demo has been scrapped, too much text that wasn't needed.)
chapters are now called episodes! not a huge change but i prefer the vibe yknow.
there have been some extensive rewrites - especially in ep .01, the bar scene got a lot more fleshing out - so i expect typos and grammar errors have slipped through. this doesn't bother me too much but i appreciate any one who spots them to send them in!
there is now an 'end game' scenario in ep. 01. i won't be providing a walkthrough as i think it's relatively obvious given the scenario but it does give you an achievement!
i've kept achievements like the old choicescript demo but it no longer rewards points. maybe i will think of something to reward the player with later down the line?? who knows
i don't want to explain ALL the new details as i really encourage people to go find all the new flavour text and other things etc!!
next -- if you have not noticed, i have added a bug report to the links list. all issues, bugs, and errors found in the public demo can now be reported via the new bug report form.
in terms of writing, i am now porting episode 3. i have had rewrite plans for this chapter for a while, so i imagine this port will take some time. i was in the middle of writing episode 4 when i decided to make the twine jump lmao, so it hasn't been touched for a LONG time, probably since march. i plan to jump straight back into writing when episode 3 is all done!
like before, ep 3 won't be released until ep 4 has a first draft and i'm happy with the shape and direction. so it will be some time before i am able to release new content. but - we ball!
thank you for reading this far and i hope you enjoy the new and improved demo! happy reading! - becky :^)

Hi - just thought you should know, the demo link under your bio on the tumblr page uses a broken Dashingdon link. I assume since you've moved to itch. io, that link is no longer relevant, so thought best to point it out ๐
Fixed! Thank you for pointing it out!

reblogs/asks are crazy appreciated
Iโve got three drafts of answered asks, but something personal has come up and I need to take a break. Iโll be back and post them as soon as I can.
Do the RO's have preferred pet names? I bet SC has an abundance of them, my MC would probably use petnames for them as well since "Soul Collector" is more of a title than a name.
In all honesty, it would warm the hearts of all the ROs to be called any affectionate names by MC. ๐
Speaking of names, here are some interesting facts about SC name and how names hold significance in the story:
You were correct in mentioning that SC is more of a title given by those who knew them, as it has been a long time since anyone truly knew their real name or is alive to share it. There's a rumor that hearing their actual name would cause eardrums to burst, leading to fatal bleeding. Others claim that even reading their name aloud would result in choking on one's own blood.
In this world, demons (or creatures, humans, etc.) have status levels based on their energy, abilities, or powers. A being with a lower level cannot utter the true name of someone with a higher level than them. This ability to say names becomes a clear indicator of one's status level.
It's important to note that human energy varies, and their names can be spoken by anyone. For example, Aurelian has angelic blood in him, so he can't be considered purely human. However, being a half-blood, he has the ability to lower his energy level, allowing others to safely address him. But if he desired, he could exert dominance over others through his energy.
omgg I can't believe it - first fanart! <3
thank you so much! It's amazing and I'm completely blown away by how beautiful it turned out. Aiden looks absolutely perfect and the pose and outfit are just spot on ahhh. ๐
I really appreciate the time and effort you put into creating this. I'm going to keep this close to my heart and admire it every chance I get.
and I, as the creator of Aiden, accept full responsibility for his presence in your mind, rent free. ๐

Meet Elara Pallas!
Elara Pallas [RO] - The Counciler - Elf
Age: 23 [ 5โ3โ(164cm)|Dark Brown hair |Brown eyes ]
Lady Elara Pallas is an elf and a member of the order. Her family is comprised of great scholars who have always placed a strong emphasis on her education and knowledge.
From a young age, Elara showed a remarkable aptitude for learning, and she quickly became known for her intelligence and analytical skills.
As she grew older, Elara became more interested in the world outside of Celestia. She studied the histories of different kingdoms, dangerous plants, and creatures that lurked around the forest that surrounds the gates of Celestia. She also learned about the ancient order of warriors and their role in maintaining peace, which fascinated her.
Elara was determined to join the order and become a councilor member herself. She knew that the hard work she put into studying and learning could finally be put to good use in the order, and she was eager to make a difference in the world.
As a councilor member of the order, Elara quickly distinguished herself as a skilled strategist. She was responsible for overseeing the orderโs operations and making crucial decisions, and her calm and collected demeanor made her a respected figure within the kingdom.
Physical Appearance:
Elara has russet, reddish-brown skin with a warm, sun-kissed glow to it. Her big, dark eyes are full of intelligence and depth, and they sparkle with a curious glint whenever something interests her. Her features are delicate and refined, with full, expressive lips. Her hair is a rich shade of dark brown and falls in soft, shoulder-length ringlets around her face.
Elara is not one to draw attention to herself, and despite her parents disapproval, she prefers to dress in simple, comfortable clothing that allows her to move freely and focus on her work.
