This is a Twine-based game (not a final project, just something a student did for a weekly production in an undergrad New Media Literacies Project). I was pretty impressed given the short timeline to learn and create something.
Let me know what you think (critique, possible mods, extension packs, etc. Game shared with permission of the student (kurt)
(Edmund):I like the aesthetic. Applying this style to the data files would probably look great.
