Y / N
A downloadable game
You are the owner of an inter-dimensional cafe. No, wait! You’re a teenager rebelling against the capitalist chip in your brain. Or maybe you’re a cat turned ancient god. Or a retired spy. Or a vampire!
In “Y / N” you can be all these things and more because this is a game about inserting yourself into your favorite short fiction stories in competitive, live fanfiction. What would you do if a thief invaded your community? Would you challenge the alpha of the pack for leadership? Could you survive in the nebulous afterlife? Read the story, insert yourself into the pages, and find out!

Your tiny game is huge. Thanks for showing inkfoundry - such a nice tool. It's the first time i hear about it.
Thank you so much! I am always happy to point folks to InkFoundry. It's constantly getting new features for both readers and authors, and it's building a really great community for original short fiction.
I'll check it out with more attention.
The size feature is great to read stories when you haven't much time (and to chose the short stories for your game).
If my english was better i would try to write something... But i'll stick with the drawings and leave the words for good writters like youself and many others.
