Like A House On Fire (Louise)

In a quiet NSW town, a woman lays herself on train tracks and waits for a locomotive to pass through her. Her three children are left to pick up the pieces: their traumas; their differences; their deep sense of resentment for what’s become for their family.

The series will encompass three separate pieces of interactive fiction created in Twine and published to itch.io— each encompass a conversation with one of the woman’s three children: Louise, Stella and Cal. Only one of them knows what drove their mother to suicide; all of them are far from surprised. The series is self-contained, though there may be new conversation threads added after each games' releases.
