Tip Jar Notes

Thank you so much for your support! In an attempt to balance your desire to say "thank you" and my desire to say "thank you" right back, you can play the interactive version of Your Prince Has Drowned right here in your browser!

But, seriously, thank you so much. <3 I appreciate your support.

Your Prince Has Drowned

Once upon a time... there was a young mermaid princess who wanted to become human. Or did she?

You soon learn that things aren't, quite, what they seem in this short interactive meta-fictional CYOA game. Your Prince Has Drowned started life as a short story inspired by old school text adventures. Now it's been re-invented as a Twine game! Well, a Twine story where your choices can have serious consequences, really.

Features:

  • No save points and virtually no permadeath.
  • A somewhat snarky interface. Be kind to it.
  • Choices! (I mean, it's interactive fiction, of course there are choices.)
  • Metatextuality.
  • Almost 9,500 words of text!

Content notes:

  • Some decisions lead to major character death.

Other Notes:

  • The Patron-exclusive Hints Booklet contains notes on how to avoid the few permanent death situations and a complete walkthrough to get to the ending fastest.
  • Because of the way HTML5/Twine games get processed on itch.io, running it through the website is sadly not iphone-friendly at the moment. (It appears to work fine on Android phones.) One day I'll figure out how to get that working properly!
