Mix Tape
Mix Tape is a short IF game about the breakup between our protagonist Valentine and
her music-obsessed boyfriend Peter. The game is a series of short vignettes, based around
several songs. I tried to weave the themes of love, music and compatibility throughout the
game. The game is rather serious and dramatic - quite different from the mazes and puzzles
usually associated with IF. (But note that I am far from the first person to have done this!)
It's a bit of a tragic tale, but not depressing (I hope!)
I entered Mix Tape into IF Comp 2005 where it got (equal) 18th place out of 35 entries. This was a little disappointing but not surprising — I hadn't beta-tested the game nearly enough and the game was finished in a rush (due to certain time constraints in the real world). Anyway, lesson well and truly learned. At any rate, I received lots of useful feedback.
Mix Tape was a finalist for the 2005 XYZZY awards' Best Writing category.
