Contains transformation themes. Leave if this does not interest you.

Search for your missing brother, who ran off with a suspiciously wealthy woman whose only income is an inherited pig farm. The police report at the end is always the same, but what exactly happened depends on your choices.

This is my first Twine interactive fiction/story, inspired by an unsatisfying and long article about an unsolved mystery case.

Some choices matter. Some don't. Many don't have consequences until much later in the story. You might need to restart or click the undo button many times to get different outcomes.

7273 total words, 41 "links", 5 ending variations, and 3 TFs. I might add more endings to cover more of the speculations of what really happened.

You got something lined up to earn that 18 plus warning?

I had fun with this! I opened it up in Twine to see if you had started writing any more endings, and I can't wait to see how the couple of things you've planned end up playing out!

I didn't know unlinked passages were included in the published file lol. I'm glad I kept all my notes in a separate app. Glad you enjoyed it!

Haha, yep, behind the scenes the version you open/edit in Twine is stored as an html file, and exporting it just makes a 1:1 copy wherever you save it. That html file can be opened and edited in Twine to see everything.

Personally, I really like that feature as a learning tool, and easy access to the code allowed someone to write a really helpful QoL mod for my Twine game Escape from Kettuloch a little over a month ago.

And yes, I definitely enjoyed your game! I’ll be checking out v2 as soon as I can, haha.
