Earlier this week, Matthew Burns released The Writer Will Do Something (TWWDS), a gripping, well-constructed work of interactive fiction centered around a game design meeting from hell. TWWDS throws readers directly into a contentious planning session for the third game in the popular (fictional) Shattergate franchise, a high-profile, must-not-fail tentpole release that has obviously gone significantly off the rails.




The game (interactive fiction, like Infocom but with multiple choice) is here: http://mrwasteland.itch.io/twwds

It's basically a contentious business meeting, with multiple dialog paths.
