If you’re looking for a terrible, terrifying experience, the kind of thing that will really cap off your Monday, don’t think cinematics, creepy atmosphere, and shadows. Instead, try this horrifying experience The Writer Will Do Something by Matthew S. Burns, a Twine game set in a panicked meeting of game developers working on a AAA title beset with top-down issues.
As someone who frequently engages with and critiques writing and overall narrative in games, I found myself pressed into my chair, eyes wide, tensely examining options. Spoiler: most were never any good. Spoiler: Everything is terrible. Spoiler: I feel like something in my head just shifted to the left, if only a little. The whole experiences takes less than half an hour, and it’s worth every moment.
