Overview
WANDERER — Broken Bed (v0.13) is a short-form interactive fiction / narrative exploration piece centered on memory, decay, and reconciliation. The player inhabits a solitary protagonist who returns to a dilapidated motel room (the “Broken Bed”) to investigate traces of a past relationship and piece together what happened. The experience blends environmental storytelling, choice-driven dialogue, and modular scene fragments that recombine across playthroughs.
Target Audience
- Players who enjoy contemplative narrative games (e.g., Gone Home, Kentucky Route Zero)
- Mature audiences (the story includes references to substance use, emotional trauma, and intimate relationships)
- Fans of experimental interactive fiction and short, replayable narratives
Art & Audio
- Visuals: Photographic textures, muted color palette (faded teal, mustard, gray), grain and light leaks, subtle UI that blends with environment.
- Character art: Minimal — photo fragments or Polaroid-style images rather than character portraits.
- Audio: Sparse ambient bed creaks, distant highway hum, intermittent neon buzz; piano or synth motif for leitmotif; voice snippets for voicemail and flashback lines (optional subtitles).
