[myGameDev] Hypnagogue

Hypnagogue is a short interactive fiction game I made using Twine. In Hypnagogue, you awake to find that your bedroom has been transmogrified in the night, and you must venture through the "sleeping architecture" to find out more...

I made Hypnagogue with the intention of getting more familiar with Twine, HTML and CSS, and I discovered that it's a great way to make games quickly and requiring little to no specialist know-how - knowing HTML/CSS is a bonus, but it's not necessary in the least! And, best of all, it's completely free!

There's a lot of great resources for making games with Twine on the web, including Anna Anthropy's handy Twine tutorial, a Ashton Raze's guide to CSS in Twine, and of course the official Twine documentation.
