Affronter le silence

This game is the author's first experience with programming ever, which is pretty impressive given how nice it is.

It's a twine game where your character finds a box of documents on his doorstop dropped off by his mother.

Inside is a blank family tree and envelopes with different names on them. You open yours first, finding a lot of documents about your birth and upbringing.

The family tree can be filled out via a kind of quiz where you select from dropdown boxes, and if you get the information correct you unlock new envelopes.

The author didn't complete their full vision, but there is a lot here. I like epistolary storytelling (is that you you say it? Epistolic? something else) and there is a lot of variety in tone and structure here.

I didn't receive a dramatic ending; I just unlocked the whole tree and didn't see any new links. It felt satisfying though.
