✨WINNER✨ of the 2024 New Media Writing Prize Student Prize, and shortlisted for the Chris Meade Memorial Main Prize and the Opening Up Prize.

you have created a monster. is a tiny interactive fiction game about love, fear, (mutual?) destruction, and monsters. Not necessarily in that order. Reasons to play it:

  • there are monsters
  • there are 17 different endings and more ways to reach them than I can do the maths for
  • it's the result of spending slightly too long thinking about Frankenstein
  • it's very short so it's like microdosing horror
  • my mum really liked it
  • it is very possible to die horribly
  • it is also very possible to live horribly
  • it is additionally very possible to get several other thematically compelling endings

Very excited to come across this, because the concept is extremely up my alley - and it didn't disappoint! Incredible how much punch you pack into such a short game, you should be proud.

Oh, thank you!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it 💜

This rules, I can't believe I'm the first comment. I love how much you do with such short sentences, very inspiring. 

Thank you!! This is definitely a piece that's meant to leave a lot of space for the player's imagination to fill in the gaps (it is my general feeling that horror works better that way :D)
