REMEMBRANCE

5 Interactive Narratives about the Uncontrollable Loss in Life

Sometimes the past is suppressed, sometimes it’s forgotten, other times it’s reinvented to fit what we want. But regardless, whether we like it or not, we must eventually face what we’ve been hiding, reconcile with our memories, make peace, and move on...

This series of 5 interactive narratives all deal with the theme of the losses in life. The ways these stories unfold are determined by the reader’s choices — the reader has the dramatic agency to direct the characters’ life journeys. All of the stories are meant to be replayed, because different decisions lead to different outlooks to the losses. All of the story paths together make up the vicissitude and complexities in life.

These stories are experiments for you to be yourself and to be someone you never imagined to be, and maybe they can bring you a little reflections.
