The Swormville Sweep

Welcome... to the Swormville Sweep! This is a map-based game set in the Western New York hamlet of Swormville, where you will follow a trail of historical clues through 15 locations. Made for the Anti-Productivity Jam, which challenged participants to create an interactive fiction game in a non-standard program, this game was made with Google My Maps and can be played online here.

If the game piques your interest in Swormville, a copy of my detailed report on Swormville's history is available for download below. I recommend not looking at it until after you've completed the game, but it may be useful to consult if you get stuck.
