The Archives Sim: My Life As A Background Archival Assistant

    Make your choices. Face your fear. Date your colleagues. Hug Martin. Punch Elias. Enjoy Sky Blue. Or other combinations*.

    A love letter to the fandom in the form of a perfectly serious, utterly indulgent fanservice self-insert Archive simulator, using the ChoiceOf game system.

    (*You can't punch Martin.)

    This is a fan-created choose-your-own-adventure story/game based on the podcast The Magnus Archives, by The Rusty Quill Ltd, which is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.

    It was made in 2020 for that year's Rusty Quill Big Bang, using Choice Of Games's ChoiceScript. This is version 1.02 of the game, last updated on 14 June 2021, ported to itch upon the closure of Dashingdon hosting service in January 2025.

    This is a mature game intended for a mature audience, with a toggle to lock out or enable text-only NSFW/erotic content. For more information, including a long list of content warnings, please check out the AO3 page here.
