About the Story

Engelbert and Engelbertu is a short absurdist interactive fiction story in which you (a turtle, probably) must gain the trust (and perhaps friendship) of a betta fish in order to either escape a cardboard box, or become a fully actualized being, whichever comes first or seems more relevant to you in the moment.
