The Reader
The Reader is an IF adaptation of an unpublished short story that I wrote some months ago (if you want to publish it give me a little whistle!).
It’s a short story about the memory of those who were long gone fighting against a very mundane evil. It’s a political-horror piece about Spain, our somehow weird traditions, and our history.
The game is free (but if you donate some money it’d definitely help me write some more)!!!
TW: This story contains: violence, depictions of death, and political content (yes, a lot of it).
Disclaimer: I used Midjourney a long time ago to create a few images for this game. Now I wouldn't have used it at all due to the implications of using generative AI tools. I'm willing to change the images the moment I have the time and resources to do so.

The Reader is a powerful short interactive fiction with a brilliant core idea and a perfect execution. My guess is that it hits harder if you know about the Spanish Civil War, but it is a hard story anyway. It also works great both on desktop and mobile.
Thank you very much! Yeah, I think that if you at least know something about the Civil War might strike you harder (or at least is what I pretended haha). 🖤
