Kotodama

My interactive fiction piece Kotodama is now up at sub-Q. It’s about a robot trying to save Tokyo from a poetry outbreak.

The lobby of the Tokyo Skypoem is filled with panicked humans, their faces scarred by unbridled metaphor. Paramedics carry stretchers bearing limerick-riddled corpses and haiku-exposed skeletons. I push my way through the crowd, towards the two police officers guarding the stairs.

It’s like a mini Choose Your Own Adventure and takes about 5 minutes to play though. It’s written using Twine.
