But Paranoia is coming your way!
The Key of Rejuvenation: Each Latchkey narrates a scene where they changed themselves in the hopes of pleasing another.
Moments from the mystery, The Beauty of Anillo de Oro, for Public Access.
I'll be most interested to see how players engage with this setting, which will be hostile in the way suburban wealth can be to outsiders. Smiles, suspicion, judgement. Preying on the insecurities of the Latchkeys with surgical precision. And of course, the body horror of which there will be plenty.
Still from Society (1989), featuring glistening partygoers engaged in enthusiastic Shunting.
Still from the television series Desperate Housewives, featuring the four leads looking serious and gorgeous.
The Swans of "The Swan" from 2004, a plastic surgery reality competition.
Beyond my own experience in beauty informing the mystery, the biggest inspirations I've been drawing from have been the 1989 film Society, the series Desperate Housewives--which has arguably been mostly forgotten but was a cultural firestorm in the early aughts--and the reality show, The Swan.
The Beauty of Anillo de Oro centers on the mystery of what happened to a housewife who belonged to Deep Lake's gilded gated community, and the strange Avon-esque beauty representative who seems connected to the bizarre transformations taking place within.
Some lore: long before I got into writing and TTRPGs, I was a part of the beauty industry professionally--as an artist and at a corporate level. Marketing of beauty and skincare has a fascinating and downright predatory history that served as the impetus for writing this mystery.
I was scrolling through a C-beauty site and finding this image has compelled me to share some insight into one of the stretch goals that was unlocked: The Beauty of Anillo de Oro.

Public Access is a game that's dear to me for several reasons, most of which is that it was the first game that I was asked to contribute to. There's still time to nab your copy and enable sick minds like myself and my co-contributors to bring even more sick things into the world.
To the genius who decided to hard launch Sour Skittles in Wild Berry the month I decided to start my diet: Iโll see you in Hell.
Folks, we're very close to overtaking Neopets. I've told my Discord that if we get $1 more than that project did, I'll officially change the Latchkey move that gives you a dog to optionally give you a Tamagotchi. Let's make it happen!

Hey! I'm the next stretch goal for the Public Domain kickstarter. When they reach 5000 backers, I'll be writing a mystery - inspired by the Silver Sisterhood, the pagan S&M "nuns" who funded themselves via sexually explicit text adventures. Delighted to (hopefully) be part of Public Access.
