About...


À la Campagne is a short personal interactive piece, heavily inspired by events from my childhood. Though I entered it in the Twine Server Spring Jam on a whim, I wrote this piece to process some returning baggage.

At the time, I was struggling with the dissonance between rough unacknowledged past experiences and present responses to newer issues. Unable to bridge the gap, I turned to writing to express my feelings - with some added distance for anonymity.

Due to its personal nature, its public release was almost non-existent outside of the Twine Discord server.
