The End of the White Subway

"The End of the White Subway" is "a strange little text-game that bears some resemblance to a text adventure or interactive fiction . . . more or less the way a toadstool resembles a geranium.

Is this a game? If being a game requires consequential decisions, controllable actions, differential outcomes, and quantification (score), then it's a game.

If your definition includes fun, well . . .

This project is really more like a time simulator -- though in some ways every game is that. It invites you to think about the passing of time (all those moments you'll never get back), the way things change even as they stay the same, what you think you are doing when you can't do much of anything, and how you know when it's time to leave the train." -- Stuart Moulthrop
