1. c ya laterrrr

   c ya laterrrr is the first in a series of exploratory works by Dan Hett covering his experiences during and in the aftermath of the 2017 Manchester Arena terrorist attack, where his younger brother was one of 22 people killed.

   As summarised by Hett himself:

   This game expresses some of the experience, along with exploring some of the what-ifs of choices I ultimately didn't make. All identifying information is removed, there are no names or locations specified anywhere. There are many choices within this game, and one of the many possible pathways does reflect my actual experience. This isn't marked or confirmed anywhere, and all pathways ultimately lead to the same endpoint. 

   c ya laterrr  garnered press coverage, including articles in UK publications The Guardian and The Big Issue, and later won the New Media Writing Prize 2020.

   Hett released second and third works to the series, The Loss Levels and Sorry to Bother You, in 2018.

2. The Boy in the Book

   The Boy in the Book is an interactive web adaption of the live show Choose Your Own Documentary, created by writer Nathan Penlington and film-makers Fernando Gutierrez De Jesus, Sam Smaïl and Nick Watson. It blends illustration, documentary film, and text in the format of an online chat feed to weave a narrative that follows Nathan’s real-life pursuit of Terence Prendergast, the previous owner of a collection of Choose Your Own Adventure Books whose diary Nathan finds between their pages. In the same vein as Choose Your Own Adventure genre, there are six different endings, all achievable via selecting different options within the narrative. 

   The work itself focuses on the lasting effects of childhood experiences, with Penlington looking back at his own childhood alongside the search.
