Choose-Your-Own-Adventures
A choose-your-own-adventure is interactive fiction — you play the protagonist, and the decisions you make at each turn shape where the story goes and how it ends. You're not reading about someone. You're the one deciding.
All three of these are free to play in your browser. Nothing to download, nothing to install. Headphones recommended — each one has an original soundtrack.
Three games, one continuity. Any order works, but if you're new, start at the top.
You wake at 4:43 in the afternoon. Hangover, empty tank, a neighbor threatening to call the cops on you.
By tonight the world is over, and nothing left alive in it is glad to see you.
Something is hunting you through the dark, and it knows your name.
Multiple endings and four unlockable achievements: True Ending, Deathless, True Scum, and Good Man After All. Contains mature language and themes.
She Cried Against Strangling Hands
You are alone in a dead town, and a payphone is ringing for you. The voice on the other end has given these instructions before.
Find the message she left. Reach the subway. Do not ring any bells.
Not everything here is meant to be taken. What isn't comes apart in your hands and rings once as it goes. Something in the woods hears every one.
Contains mature themes.
You wake on cold stone with a compass, a note signed with a single letter, and no memory of arriving.
The labyrinth is vast. Halls flood and drain. Gravity turns over. Five keys open one door.
You are not the first to be kept here. The others left journals behind — a record of someone working out, slowly and badly, what this place is and what it wants from him.
All three written and scored by Vulture Culture.
