The Tragedy of Lady Lavender

The Tragedy of Lady Lavender is an interactive story/ puzzle game centered around the culture of Hera and their historical figure Lady Lavender. You need to learn more about Lady Lavender by searching through documents in a database. However, for each search term only the two most recent results will show up. By finding new documents in the archive,  you will explore Hera’s complex relationship with tradition and issues of gender and sexuality. The story is set during a time where there are riots and protests for LGBTQ+ rights, and the mysterious figure of Lady Lavender is used to promote heteronormativity. However, as they learn more, it becomes clear that not everything that they say about her is as it seems.
