"This is a Twine story created for the class Narrative and Technology taught by Dr. Jessica FitzPatrick. This project was created to challenge the idea of what 'words on a page' can do and to explore the use of textual formatting (such as font, color, orientation, etc.) and interactivity as methods to increase the immersivity of reading a story and engage the reader emotionally. A secondary goal was to make use of formatting elements such font and color to guide the reader’s interpretation of the story. This story relies heavily on formatting and although most aspects of it are cross-platform compatible due to its composition in Twine, it is recommended that it be consumed in full screen on a large monitor in the Mozilla Firefox browser, as that is how it has been tested. All passages with one possible exception should be displayed consistently under these conditions."
