The Wailing Lady

This was my submission to Inkle's Campfire Stories contest! I had a ton of fun learning their Ink scripting language and whipping up a yarn. The gist of the contest goal was to write dialogue that could interchangeably be told by any of the game characters, regardless of gender or age. The requirements were less an exercise in branching narrative, more a tale being told back and forth while twisting and turning slightly depending on the user choices.

The game takes place within the legends of King Arthur,  AD 673, between the fall of Camelot and the final battle at Camlann.  Two characters are settling down around a campfire at the end of a hard day's journey.
