About

I&#x27;m a platform engineer who wrote a literary novella that&#x27;s getting published next year. I&#x27;ve also had an interest in interactive narratives for a while, so I decided to experiment. This was also heavily inspired by &quot;playing&quot; through Betwixt.<p>The result is a short interactive fragment (~5 minutes) — ambient audio synced to prose, three scenes. I didn&#x27;t want to build a true game as much as make an attempt at immersion. So I re-wrote a fragment set in the world of the book, and wired up the computer-y bits to it. The fragment is in second person (the novella isn&#x27;t), because other POVs don&#x27;t really work with the immersion angle.<p>For the technically interested, this is just vanilla JS and Web Audio API, no frameworks - as is the way of my people.

AI Score Reasoning

This project is currently a creative experiment and marketing tool for a novella rather than a venture-scale startup. While the founder demonstrates strong technical and literary cross-disciplinary skills, there is no evidence of a scalable business model or significant market traction.
