Tragedy and otherwise in multiple personalities?
Photopia makes heavy use of special colo[u]red text effects that are not properly rendered on all interpreters. But you can turn them off.

Play This Thing
Photopia made me cry.
That's not something I say often. I don't think any other work of art has ever affected me to the extent that Photopia has.

The colors, like everything else in Photopia, worked beautifully, adding artfully to the overall impact of the story. The work is interactive in other important ways as well. In fact, in many aspects Photopia is a metanarrative about the medium of interactive fiction itself. Again, it wasn't until the end of the story that I understood why it had to be told as interactive fiction. And again, to explain the reason would be too much of a spoiler. I have so much more I want to talk about with Photopia, but I can't talk about it until you've played it. Go and play it, and then we'll talk. I promise, you'll understand why everyone has been so impatient. You'll understand why I loved it, and why I think it's one of the best pieces of interactive fiction ever to be submitted to the competition.
