allobiography (n): an account of someone's life written by a person other than the subject themself
Angel Simulator is a FREE 20k-word kinetic visual novella telling the story of an entity's life, from its spontaneous existence in November of 20XX to a communication breakdown in January of "two years later". Along the way, the entity falls in love over and over, amasses a cult-like following of lovers, and brings them across borders and seas to her country, all while fighting off remnants of the girl who lived in her body before her.
There are holes in the story, guesses on the part of its author, and outright fabrications for the sake of privacy, as well as several questions unanswerable to the average reader. It is a strange and inscrutable affair of young transgender women and harm being done to them. It is a memoir by someone who has not the memories in question. It is a tale of the worst period of several people's lives.
It is a unique experience. A cautionary tale? A presentation of grievances in visual novel form? A putrid Nabokovian piece, best described as a digital emetic. It is many things, but above all else,
this is not a love story.
[THIS IS A WORK OF
Save for the correction of obvious solecisms and a careful suppresion of a few tenacious details that would otherwise serve as signposts and tombstones (indicative of places or persons that taste would conceal and compassion spare), this remarkable memoir is presented intact. Its subject's bizarre cognomen is HER own invention; and, of course, this mask—through which two hypnotic eyes seem to glow—has to remain unlifted in accordance with MY wish. While "Rowan" only rhymes with the subject's real surname, HER first name is too closely interwound with the inmost fiber of the book to allow one to alter it; nor (as the reader will perceive for themself) is there any practical necessity to do so.
