Hope Returns

STORY:

Hello there, dear viewer...I know what you're after. You've bypassed my security and now have access to my memory files, but don't think you've won yet.

After our last scrape put me in the hospital, I've returned with reinforcements: My best (and only) friend, Spero! Sure, he's weird and kind of annoying sometimes, but he won't let me down. You may have captured me, dear viewer, but you won't catch him!

Still, enjoy what you can get in my memory files, including:

• The last six scenes of my life told in over 3,000 words
• Kinetic storytelling (duh...it's a memory, after all)
• Interactions with five characters, only one of whom I give an actual face to
  
• Rich visuals in two(!) whole colors: black and white
• Over a dozen music tracks to pump you up and bring you down
• Glitches and other edits of mine at sensitive parts in the story (you're welcome)

Have fun, dear viewer...
