Vespers
Vespers is an interactive fiction game written in 2005 by Jason Devlin that placed first at the 2005 Interactive Fiction Competition. It also won the XYZZY Awards for Best Game, Best NPCs, Best Setting, and Best Writing. Set in a 15th century Italian monastery, it is chiefly a horror-themed morality game, where the player takes moral decisions, which then affect the ending. However, whilst playing the game, it isn't obvious that these are moral dilemmas, and the game actively encourages the player to take the evil path.

Andromeda and Eliza
Andromeda and Eliza is a work of interactive fiction that combines Twine hypertext with parser-fiction interactions to invite readers to consider choice and agency. You, as Andromeda, are caught in every woman’s dilemma, with only a few choices for escape--and none of them good. Perhaps you can find a meaningful way out, or perhaps you will be enticed into an endless discussion with a hypocritical ELIZA that questions your intentions and your morality. How long will you engage?This work builds on layered adaptations, drawing from both the mythical story of Andromeda and the original code of the ELIZA bot. Both Andromeda and ELIZA are ultimate examples of women without agency: one is chained to a rock to await demise for the apparent sin of beauty, while the other is a procedural therapist who exists in an endless state of questioning and response, programmed to show nothing but interest and patience with even the most obnoxious of queries. By rewriting the code of the original story (and of the ELIZA bot herself) we will re-imagine the woman’s journey from victim to co-author of her own fate.
