This is a Mormon feminine horror game inspired by Magpie Games's Bluebeard's Bride. You play as a newlywed to a mysterious and rich Mormon man. You decide if your (shady) husband is to be trusted based on what you find in the rooms in his mansion. This game focuses on the suffering of married women within Mormon culture. It does not discuss the suffering of men or single women. Aspects of Mormon culture are exaggerated to accentuate the horror. 

Skillick's Bride was a finalist for the Association for Mormon Letters short fiction award. If you like my writing, look for Admiration Point in this year's Interactive Fiction Competition (I plan to submit it by the end of August). 

CW: childbirth, infertility, breastfeeding, and violence against women, children, and a strange animal.

So creepy! And yet I feel strangely validated, like someone understands how difficult nursing, childbirth, and mothering are...
