Description
“[Redacted] Whispers" an interactive text game built on the Twine engine. Built with a simple text-based conditional logic with customizable HTML/CSS elements, it lets the player experience their own narrative by choosing to interact with different text elements in varied sequences. The non-linear way the narrative is structured is an essential part of telling the story of alienation in a post pandemic New York City.
Language is an important motif in “[Redacted] Whispers." While the protagonist “I" treads on the complexity of speaking a foreign tongue, the game too treats language as something volatile. The smallest interaction with a word or conjugation triggers a set of choices that hurtle players into unexpected narrative arcs.
