A browser game made in HTML5.
This is kind of a hard recommend because I could not complete this game without spoiling myself on it. Yet at the same time, I like the interaction method so much I don't want to spoil it on the chance that someone else has a more discerning eye. This game is a Jujutsu Kaisen fan game, however having only seen one episode of the show I didn't realize this until after I'd finished it. For me, it holds up on its own and in fact the lack of context for the world/characters really added something. Reading it felt like piecing together pages from a burned diary, deep and personal, but lacking context, pages out of order, putting it together a bit at a time. It reimagines the characters in a queer/trans sex work context, exploring how acceptance can be used as form of manipulation, how trauma can beat you into something that feels less then human, how you can be forced to do things you hate to survive. The presentation is also sleek, using text boxes and limited colours to add voice and form to the dialogue. The writing is also loose and free flowing, phrases loop, thoughts and spoken words seem to blend together and who's even present in a scene is often ambiguous. Suffice to say, it left a strong impression on me.
Some hints follow:
Entering different text of the first page may lead to different results
Look for key words and phrases. There is a bit of a pattern at least to start off
If you're really stuck, there's always ctl-shfit-i. The tw-storydata tag is of interest
Good luck.
