    The Abyss

    The Abyss is an interactive narrative created in Twine for a Social Impact of Video Games course. The game explores a meaningful social issue through environmental storytelling and player-driven choices, encouraging players to uncover its themes organically rather than presenting them outright. To create a more immersive experience, I incorporated music, imagery, player input, and custom Twine scripting. Although I’m proud of the final result, I see The Abyss as an ongoing project and hope to expand and refine it further in the future.
