Counterweight 12: On Fear of Twine
“They always say words are more powerful than graphics because words require the power of your imagination to create whatever the world is. This is even better than that, there’s almost like no words. You really have to invent the scenario from what the links are telling you. […] I don’t wanna go too much into the story, ’cause really, anybody listening to this and haven’t played it really should play it.” (Joel Goodwin)

“I loved this one, this is my favorite one, and this is probably my favorite twine in general. I didn’t know I had a favorite twine until I played this.” (Eric Brasure)

“It’s also structurally novel, though, in that there is no narrative, non-link text. Each time you make a choice, you discover its ramifications by looking at the list of choices that come up next. It therefore feels very spare, and it takes a little while for the nature of the situation to become clear.”

Drosophilia, for unusual use of audio and visual effects
Zombies and Elephants, for the treatment of the racial and social aspects of the situation
When Acting As a Wave, for creating a Twine story consisting of nothing but links”
