"Unrequited" is a short piece I wrote for the 2023 Anti-Romance Jam. It's about unrequited love and an aromantic person losing their best friend. It's also my first project made in Twine.

Through the writing of a letter, parsed with words left unsaid/unwritten, this short kinetic entry deals with a loss of a close relationship, because of unrequited feelings and different expectations. It is touching in its tragedy, heartbreaking in its commonness.
In very few words, this entry beautifully encapsulates the end of something that is often stronger than romantic partnership. And how mixed feelings can tear someone apart.
The addition of sound and animation were a lovely touch as well.
