Last week I released an interactive short story I created with Inkle Studios' Ink for the #InkJam18 gamejam on itch.io.
It's called Sentry.
It's based on the true stories of people who sort through flagged posts for major social networks.

You're a weary adventurer just trying to find a town to sleep in for the night. Instead you've stumbled into some damnable carnival. The place is full of drunkards, jesters, & carnies leading large, strange creatures around on chains. It is, above all else, loud.
Seeking quiet, you step into a fortune-teller's tent. A man who looks more like a banker than a mystic smiles at you from behind a table & gestures to 3 cards laid out before him.
"Well," he says, "which will it be?"
What do you do?
