Questception: The Story Behind the Story

Why escape when you can just edit the script?

Step into the shoes of an ambitious, out-of-work writer who accidentally gets sucked into the very stories they created. In this interactive text-based adventure, you find yourself entangled in various plotlines—ranging from high fantasy realms to hilarious sci-fi spoofs—each with unique characters who are aware they're in a story. You'll need to navigate through these meta-narratives by making choices that influence not just the story you're in, but also the overarching narrative of your own life. As you tackle absurd challenges, solve meta-puzzles, and interact with quirky side characters who provide commentary on story tropes, you'll eventually reach a climax where your own narrative arc collides with the plotlines of the characters you meet. Will you rewrite the ending, or will your adventure become a mere footnote in somebody else's tale?
