Mimetic Parchment

Written as a "Character Wants A Glass of Water" exercise for the Fall 2024 Masterclass given by The Narrative Department.

Ofttimes in Game Writing , the perspective is that of the player character, but this piece of interactive fiction told me what it wanted: Rather than the player embodying any one character and making things happen as them, the story unravels based on what the reader chooses to watch happen.

Is this jarring to experience? I would love to hear about your impressions. Contact me and tell me all about it!
