FM: Alpha

FM:Alpha (FM:a) is a visual short story set in the Elsaverse. It was released on February 2, 2017, as a monthly perk for Tora Productions' donors in Patreon, and publicly released on February 17, 2018. FM:a was officially ported to Ren'Py and added to the Elsaverse Omnibus Vol.1 bundle that came out on August 5, 2021. The story presents the foodcourt's gunman incident already depicted in Finding Miranda (2016) from another point of view.

FM:Alpha was born thanks to a theory posted in the Shark's Lagoon adult gaming forum by user "xCooler2". He noticed that, in Dreaming with Elsa (2015), the first ever game set in the Elsaverse, (J)ason was the player's character, and Jessica Springfield made a cameo; then, in the next game, Redemption for Jessika (2016), (J)essica was the love interest and (M)arc was the player's character, with Miranda making a cameo; and finally, in Finding Miranda, (M)iranda was the love interest, and the player's character was named (L)ucas. This led him to reason that the upcoming fourth game's love interest would be a woman who made a cameo in FM and whose name started with "L", and he pointed out to Lucile, the woman who was threatened by a gunman at the foodcourt incident. The theory was totally wrong, as writer Tlaero had already planned out the whole saga and the fourth game was going to be about Chloe, but she was so amused and inspired by the incredible and totally unplanned coincidence that she quickly wrote a short story that could keep the letter sequence going.
