Texture

You wake up in a forest and don't know who you are and what you are doing there. Maybe you'll find your answers in that old Victorian house.

Texture is a short piece of interactive fiction created by Rafi Thissen. This horror story with adult content is only suitable for adults ages 18 and up due to scenes of intense violence.

Check out the amazing playthrough of Texture by Jenna Marbles and her partner Julien Solomita in the Jenna & Julien Podcast #224 - Choose Your Own Story PT.2.

Based on Rafi Thissen's Quest game Texture. The Quest to HTML conversion is done by using Claude.

Tips for Surviving Texture
• Examine everything. Many objects only reveal what they hide once you look at them.
• If you find an object, try moving it, opening it, or looking under or inside it.
• When the world feels stuck, look for something you've collected and ask: where could I use this?
• The house has two sides. What is bloody on one side may be clean on the other.
• Pay attention to what you read. Some truths only become useful once you remember them.
