Nigel enters a strange land where, to get home, he must win a game of checkers. A fangame of Three Guys That Paint.
"Space Alice in Wonderland with Checkers."
Author's Comment: “This is the first part of a large fangame I'm working on. I'd love to hear feedback on it--please let me know what you think!
Also, please check out Three Guys That Paint (the visual novel Nigel and Morwenna are from, and that inspired this Twine) and the Checkerboard Series (by daffs.itch.io, where Carmine is from).
Thank you for playing!”

I remember seeing this game in Spring Thing years ago and didn't play it because I wasn't familiar with the games it was inspired by.
But I thought I'd try it anyway just now, and it worked fine as a standalone piece.
It's a mostly-linear twine story about a guy named Nigel and his space-traveling alien friend. The two of you go together to a mysterious asteroid where you encounter a variety of aliens.
There is a long lead-up of linear story followed by a more exploratory section.
The writing was interesting enough to hold my attention, and I felt like I had real agency in the choice-based parts. This doesn't look like it was ever finished, but the part I've played is fun.
Righty ho, we played it. Visually the selection of colours were lovely, no harsh contrasts. Nice narrative with heaps of talented storytelling, but lots of "clicks to continue".
