It is a biting winter day, dried leaves catching in the wind and grazing against the cracked windowpanes of an empty house, and my mother is dying.

Grave Green is an Interactive Narrative Game that follows Hayden Grey, a child born in the aftermath of a global pandemic that desolated the world. Left alone and in the care of her brother-turned-father figure Jericho, Hayden must navigate the quiet emptiness of the world she's been born into while struggling with deciding what kind of person she wants to grow into. 

This is a short narrative experience, with a total word count of ~34k words and an average playthrough of ~19k words, although players are still able to choose:

  • Hayden's personality in conversations (Sarcastic, Bold or Quiet)
  • How Hayden reacts in encounters
  • One of two branching endings that will determine Hayden's fate

Oh man, where to begin. The writings great, the storyline was intense and emotional (which makes these kinds of stories hook readers) and I really connected with the characters. At one point, Hayden really grew up; I actually forgot he was just a kid! I know this comment is probably really old, but I just really appreciate your work.
