Author A. Dani writes queer-inclusive cyberpunk and sci-fi that celebrates love, identity, & resilience. Her Luridity Galaxy is a growing library of stories and text-based games about rebels, lovers, & dreamers who fight for their present and a future worth living in.
Newest Game!
A cute, short, interactive fiction game about fixing mechanical things in your undercity neighborhood while the real mechanic is out with a cold. You may or may not be very successful, but probably no one will complain?
Newest Zine!
Designed as a zine and "recovered file", this is the short story that appears first in Timil's Below anthology as well as the introduction of a character who goes on to found the pirate radio transmission "The Outlier Frequency".
Luridity Vibes:
(click to expand!)
It's tough to survive in a cyberpunk undercity alone. In Luridity's corporate owned capital of Timil, the Below takes care of its own.
- Found families
- Resistance networks
- Nosy neighbors, sometimes
- Empathy and compassion
- "I didn't order soup and dumplings, why is this on my counter?"
While all the communities thriving in all the sectors and levels of the Below are important, you need room to find yourself, too.
- Quiet, reflective moments
- Character journals
- Space to BE
Play your way through unpredictable stories...or just through a lovely night on the town.
- Multiple paths
- Choices: Good. Bad. Chaotic.
- Totally unrelated: Our omni-flirtatious cheeky gay hacker Fate is probably hacking your wristcomp right now.
Luridity is chock full of queer and straight love stories. I still need to publish my poly stuff, but it's coming.
(Fate: Heh. Hehhehheh. 😏)
(Fate: Heh. Hehhehheh. 😏)
- Safe, sane, consensual kink
- Wholesome smut
- Aftercare
- Lovers who communicate? YES PLEASE!
- Lovers who listen? HECK TO THE YEAH!
Sometimes the most powerful love isn't romantic...it's just about showing up. And Luridity's friends show up for each other in ways big, small, and occasionally raunchily obnoxious.
(Fate: It was just the one time! Sass: It's literally EVERY time.)
(Fate: It was just the one time! Sass: It's literally EVERY time.)
- Bonding time
- Weird side quests
- Thieving from the rich to give to the poor
- Hacking the evil to spread the dreaded curse of empathy
Okay look, there may be sad stories and devastating past experiences, but there's also laughter among the tears, and there's plenty of comfort and cuddles!
- Trauma
- Healing
- Tender second chances
- Fate trying to cheer you up with an escape artist octopus wearing a monocle.
Luridity has all your cyberpunk favorites, and some sci-fi ones too: high tech but low life, invasive corpo policies to evade and security squads to dodge and defy, cybernetic-whatever-you-need, neon, space aliens/ships/stations...
- SPACE TRAINS
- handwavium-powered biometric identification (bioIDs!), wristcomps, and VIDscreens!
- Luridity's own virtual and reloadable coin-based currency: Kitsch!
- SPACE JELLIES THAT EAT SPACE TRAINS
Welcome to Luridity. Defy the Darkness.
