Awake

'Awake' may look like interactive poetry, but there's a deeper story behind it which becomes clearer as the game unfolds.

(Spoiler - click to show)Ultimately, it tells of an AI's quest for consciousness and its subsequent discovery of love, much like in Spike Jonze's film 'Her'.

Don't be put off by the seemingly meaningless opening: the whole theme underlying this work of interactive fiction is the gradual transition from mechanical rationality to something more human. As such, it is surprisingly effective.
