"You Are Alone" – a font with a story

I thought some of you might enjoy this little experiment:

Saying anything more before you try it out would kind of ruin it.

This was pretty neat! As a short little concept, it works. I would say more but I think you’re right that it just has to be played. The mechanic could be used again toward different goals in the future too.

I smiled at this! Thanks for sharing.

I DON’T SEE WHAT THE BIG DEAL IS. IT’S JUST A FONT. SORRY FOR SHOUTING, MY CAPS LOCK KEY IS STUCK.

ha ha, brilliant.

Clever!

Thanks all!

[spoiler]Actually, the original idea was to have glyphs also for capital letters. These would tell the same story, but with more urgency. So ‘f’ would be “You hear the screams.” and ‘F’ would be “THE SCREAMS! THE WAILING!”. Or something like that.

This would allow the player to play around with the (form of the) narrative a little more.

But in the end I felt it wouldn’t be such a great improvement given that it would take me twice the time to make the font. So I dropped it.[/spoiler]
