Ferrule Instincts

Ferrule Instincts is a brief interactive adventure based on Fool Me Twice. You play as Kayla Ferrule, a wealthy young woman whose 20th birthday is a week away. Her friend Miles Hector has fallen in with mobsters who are coming after her, and your choices determine whether she can avoid capture and reach her birthday safely.

The story

Miles invites Kayla to spend time with him before her birthday. Her butler, Luna Syracuse, is wary of her leaving the safety of Ferrule Mansion, and mobsters soon cross their path. Miles says he tried to keep them at bay. You decide how Kayla responds as she faces him and his associates.

The game distills the central storyline of Fool Me Twice, a text-based novel conceived in 2015. The original writer adapted the story for this visual format, letting you shape Kayla’s fate as she confronts danger.

Art and presentation

The game uses 2.5D art by Nenetlitzi, with scenes presented in 1080p. The sprites and backgrounds are based on originals seven times larger than the displayed images.
