days without yesterday [demo]
You wake up vomiting in a decrepit bathroom. You don't know who you are, you don't know where you are, and some woman you've never met is insisting that you're part of some grand experiment that you've never heard of.
But, honestly? That sounds like way more than you can handle right now. All you want to do is get somewhere safe, take a shower, and try to get a good night's sleep. This whole sci-fi intrigue thing sounds way too complicated.
Sure, you could maybe investigate this corporation that seems to have a distressing amount of control over your life, but that sounds pretty hard, tbh. Why not just take a nap, drink some coffee, read a book? They're only going to experiment on you for a month, so why make it harder on yourself?
days without yesterday is a queer, depressing, and mildly horrific interactive novel about waking up in the cyberpunk future and just not having the spoons to deal with any of this shit.
(This project is currently playable as a demo, featuring a slightly abridged version of the first two scenes. It is around 27k words and just over an hour long.)

THIS WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! like holy shit dude im so glad i clicked on your account. the mental illness stuff really rings true for me as a uh. not particularly well person. but also the storytelling is just fantastic, you had me hooked from the beginning and the twist/teaser was really gratifying. if you never touch this project again ill still be satisfied and glad i read it, but if you end up continuing it i will be here to play through it all Immediately. just keep making stuff, yknow?
Holy crap, thank you! Those are some of the kindest words I have ever received on my work. I think I mentioned it in another comment, but this project is currently on the backburner. But I do intend to finish it. Some day.
Thanks for enjoying this first bit.
This IF is really well done, and the character is all too relatable (well done writing the sense of anxiety).
I hope it will still get an update someday :)
Aah! Thank you so much for taking the time to play this! This project is currently on the backburner as I am working on a regular prose novel, and I when I do get back to this, it will likely need to be redone from the ground up to account for a few things I've learned about Twine. But it means so much that you took the time to play it and enjoyed it! <3
That's awesome that you're working on a novel! Yeah! It was the impetus to make an account here so I could save it to my library! I hope that you do get back to it at some point, but I know there are other things!
