Cursebreakers – an Interactive Twine story

Beware the Village of Lost Hope.

Roderick and Leric discover the village and nothing will ever be the same.

Will you join them?

Here is an interactive twine story featuring the travel journals of Roderick, Crown Prince of Carentas, and Leric Loss the wizard. Enjoy!

Author Notes: Cursebreakers is an excerpt from an old fairytale retelling I wrote ages ago. It has become an interactive twine story now, which was a fascinating project involving choices, secret endings, and bad endings. Everything is intertwined, and you must experience the story multiple times if you want to know all the details. Refresh the page as many times as you like to start over.

I hope to have more Twines soon to share with you!

To learn more about interactive twine stories, check out Twine: an open-source tool for telling interactive, nonlinear stories. Why am I sharing this? Because I love to tell stories. Writing puzzles is awesome!
