The Garden of Earthly Regrets
A mystery game of garden exploration — you are in a garden, or are you? Things have happened here, or have they?
''The Garden of Earthly Regrets'' was my entry for the 2022 Lindenbaum prize for short gamebook fiction, a competition for short, paper-based, interactive fiction.
This is a playable interactive version of the original. (If you'd like to see the original, it's available on the Lindenbaum voting page.)
Features
- Short choice-based gameplay (15-30 minutes)
- Multiple endings ... but user chosen endings (pick what you think you should get)
- Solve a murder .... or a romance ...

Thank you! (Can’t believe I didn’t reply to this at the time). The dreamlike feel is definitely deliberate. In fact, the whole game might be a dream, or a visit to the afterlife, or something else entirely.
