The Case of The Waterlogged Man

ResizedScreenshot 2026-07-28 145248

A short interactive fiction written to learn Yarn Spinner.

In the game you play as detective Lund, going to Galebreak Island to investigate a murder done by magical means. I find Nordic folklore to be an interesting place to go for inspiration and wrote this story to be set in the 1600s in a fictional part of Norway.

I gave myself a limit to five locations for the investigation and tried to let the dialogue do much of the characterization.

You can download the game from itch.io, or play just the text version in browser. (For the text version, use the password: waterlogged)
