    Left to Die - Ripper in the Desert

    Left to Die – Ripper in the Desert is a branching military-survival interactive fiction project developed in Twine. The player takes the role of a soldier trapped behind enemy lines following an ambush, where decisions influence relationships between squad members, subsequent dialogue, and the eventual outcome.

    The project focuses on branching narrative, player agency, consequence-driven choices, character relationships, military dialogue, tension, and multiple outcomes. It contains approximately 16,411 words across 127 passages, with conditional narrative paths designed to encourage multiple playthroughs.

    I independently handled the project from concept through release, including story structure, dialogue, character development, relationship systems, branching logic, narrative continuity, editing, and implementation in Twine.
