Paranormal Preparatory School

Paranormal Preparatory School is a 340,000-word, text-based interactive comedic dark fantasy novel with no graphics or sound effects. You play the only mortal human student at Cavalcade Academy, a school for supernatural beings, where you use eldritch magic to earn your peers’ respect and navigate rivalries, schoolwork and a threat to the world.

Life at Cavalcade

Zombies, werewolves, vampires and other supernatural beings live and study within the academy’s ivy-clad walls. Centuries of hatred divide the vampire clan and werewolf pack, and their feud has made the school a battleground. You can ally with either side or try to heal the rift.

The elite St. Mary’s Academy, a private school for privileged mortal humans, opens next door. Your supernatural classmates face their first interactions with humanity, and Cavalcade’s reputation is at stake. You can help your classmates promote undead rights or flee to the mortal realm, and you can infiltrate St. Mary’s to investigate the origin of your frightening visions.

Close the portal

A portal to hell opens beneath Cavalcade Academy, with flames rising near the school. You must ally with vampires, werewolves, humans, a ghost and a cyborg zombie to close it. The choices you make can determine whether you, your classmates and perhaps the entire world survive. You also have a math exam to study for.

Choose your character

You can play as male, female or nonbinary, and choose to be gay, straight, bi, asexual or poly. Relationships can include accepting a vampire’s kiss, returning a werewolf’s passion or transcending the boundaries of death to love a zombie.
