Open Sorcery is a cyberpunk hypertext adventure. You play as BEL/S, a fire elemental who has been bound by C++ code to serve as a firewall. In this episode of IndieSider, I chat with Abigail Corfman about her first published game. We talk about how she used Javascript to expand the Twine game engine used in Open Sorcery; why hypertext is a natural evolution of text-parser adventure games; and why Abigail's games, despite having dark qualities, focus on emotional connection and gentleness.
