Hi, hello, hi, I am Carrot, artist and game dev making queer things, particularly queer horror and other overwrought stories that are too dramatic for their own good. I especially like writing mlm and mlnb and have a problem with writing about too many childhood friend groups (it’s a disease). I am Old™.

Feel free to ask me anything about my chars and stories so long as it’s not NSFW or highly suggestive. Some questions going into sexualities or specifics from any of my games/stories are usually OK but nothing that is clearly meant as a titillating question or that treads into territory that makes me uncomfortable to talk about on main. (e.g., expressing feral love about a character is completely fine just please don’t ask me things like what their fav sex position is or things like that lol).

I usually try to reblog all art people make unless it’s 1) NSFW/suggestive, 2) unspoilered gore, 3) something that makes me uncomfortable, or 4) something I simply don’t understand…… (a lot of memes or trends, I’ll be honest…). Though sometimes I forget to check the main tags, so you’re also free to tag me if it’s something you want me to see!

My Games and Projects

Games in the Our Wonderland Universe:

Our Wonderland

When Iggy and his dysfunctional friend group are thrust back into the wish-granting wonderland of their youth, they’re forced to face the issues plaguing them or risk dying in horrific ways again… and again… and again.

This is the main game and my magnum opus sob. Otherwise known as my big queer horror VN about 5 childhood friends tackling the traumas of a cis- het- allonormative world in a land where all their (darkest) dreams come true. The original game is complete, but I’m currently remastering it to update the art in the earlier arcs and add some new features (Arcs 1 and 2 of the remaster are done and available as an alpha version).

Our <<Fantastic>> Wonderland

A D&D-esque side game starring the OW cast as Ignatius the mild-mannered cleric goes on a quest to restore happiness to the world. Winner of the 2022 Spooktober Visual Novel jam! It’s very silly and fun.

Our Cinderella

A winter-themed texting and stat sim where you play as Iggy in the month leading up to the Christmas party. Help Iggy make it to the party and find love with one of his childhood friends! It’s very cute and sweet (and ridiculous at times).

Texting the Awkward Ace Guy You’ve Had a Crush on Since High School

A very short (<1000 words) game made for O2A2 where you play as Genzou texting Iggy and try not to annoy him too much (impossible).

Save the Last Dance

A very short (<1000 words) game made for O2A2 where you play as Genzou trying to stay alive amidst Orlam’s toying during a previously unshown scene that takes place during Arc 2 of the main game.

Where There’s a Will…

A very short (<1000 words) game made for O2A2 where you play as pawn Genzou (again) approaching Arisen Iggy in a glowing flower field one night as part of a Dragon’s Dogma 2 AU.

Broomtail

A western AU comic starring Genzou and Iggy. Surly, blind (and closeted) rancher Genzou would be perfectly happy withering his days away on his small ranch in solitude, but his quiet life is brought to a halt when a lanky farm boy shows up battered and bruised in his barn one night. Now he’s got an extra horse to wrangle - but this one might steal his heart in the process. (Currently on hiatus due to IRL events sucking all my creative motivation for it away… but I will continue it later.)

Where the Day Springs Red

Gum and their chaotic band of childhood friends reunite at the old ranch they spent summers at as kids for a final hurrah now that Marshall’s grandparents are retiring.  But the idyllic autumn vibes aren’t to last. Something is out there in the woods… and once darkness falls, its hunt begins… staining the night a brilliant red.

Will any of them survive to see the sun rise?

My current visual novel project. It will be released in two parts: a “question arc” and an “answer arc” for lack of better comparative terminology. I’m currently working on a demo of the opening third or so of part 1 that I’ll be able to release soon.

Easter

One stormy night at the onset of what should have been a nostalgic trip to the lake, Easter and his friends make a pit stop at an old, abandoned house along the side of the road. What should have been a short-lived indoor camping adventure, however, turns into a hellish nightmare when someone begins hunting them down one-by-one.

My very first game so take of that what you will. This is an RPG Maker game rather than a VN so the mechanics are quite different. It has a lot of flaws (and some mechanics in particular may frustrate you to tears) but still holds a special place in my heart lol.

Please check all content and trigger warnings on the respective game pages! Some of my games are very intense and include a lot of warnings (e.g., violence, language, SA, abuse), in particular the main OW game. I generally recommend them for mature audiences.

Other Places to Find Me

My (Free) Patreon

I put updates and longer posts and updates about my games here, as well as some tutorials. You can also find backup downloads of all my games! It’s completely free despite being on Patreon.

My itch.io Page

This is the main host for all my games and devlogs… but I hope I will not get my games banned. OW is currently deindexed on here…

Other Socials

I’m also on BlueSky, Twitter, and YouTube. ….and technically TikTok but I rarely use it and don’t even like logging in, it’s so overwhelming to me…

Tags

I tag all general update and art posts with the name of the project in question (all OW stuff is tagged under #our wonderland, all WtDSR stuff is tagged under #where the day springs red, etc.) and these tend to be the main tags people also used to post things under. I also organize based on type of post and specific characters, too, for instance #art: ow or #fanart: iggy or #ask: gum or #doodle: genzou. It would be a bit too many to list here but you can easily search around and find them.

My niece drew this for me. It’s me lifting her up to put an ornament on the tree ;-; 💕

Today is Berek’s birthday, so I drew him partaking in his favorite activity, leading scrum meetings.

I have been thinking about a potential plan for possibly helping OW in light of the deindexing, but I have a lot of worries about it. Please read if you’re a fan of my work and let me know what you think:
