What is in the library

Netwrck library novels are complete, playable scripts at different stages of production: 84 of the 208 novels have generated cover art; 139 novels play audio, 124 of them with licence credits and the other 69 are silent; 9 novels still use generated placeholder backgrounds and character art in-game. Fork one and the art, music and voice tools in the editor fill in the rest. Author-published novels carry whatever their author gave them, and each card states its own art, audio and content notice below.

horror suburban domestic british adult explicit bureaucracy neighbours domestic-horror quiet-cosmic coastal-and-estate loss marriage working-class procedural

Content notice (11)

domestic horror, not supernatural horror: the threat is administrative and domestic
descriptive violence is absent; nobody is hurt and nobody dies on any route
explicit sexual content between two consenting married adults, written, in one scene
consent is negotiated out loud in clauses and either person can stop it with one word
the encounter gates no choice and no ending
grief about a dead parent, a dead spouse and a neighbour who leaves
social isolation and the loss of community as a subject, not as a threat
no minors, no minors-coded characters, no ambiguity
no instructional detail for any procedure, trade or offence
no slurs are written out anywhere in the text
all places, companies, offices, forms and people are fictional
