About the Story

All artists deserve to be free. Don't you agree?

This is a narrative driven game made to simulate the experience of being a successful detective solving a strange case. An artist has lost her way, and it's your job to figure out what happened.

Simply the prologue. What would you do with a whole story?

A surreal prologue jumping between protagonists, September 21, 2024

I didn't actually understand this game, so I'll try to summarize it. It's a twine goal filled with surreal, non-sequitur type descriptions.

An artist named Leben is stuck in a dead end job due to losing inspiration. They hire a detective to find it, using a raven to communicate that message.

Hmm, there was also a part at the beginning about a heist. I'm going to go replay that part...

Yeah, replaying it didn't show anything. There's indication of meta-narrative travel, so maybe the different stories will unite at some point.

Honestly, I've really got no clue here. I wasn't able to construct a mental model of the game's structure, intent, or world. I will try to do better in the future.
