Description

WINNER Chris Meade Memorial Main Prize, New Media Writing Prize 2023 SHORTLISTED Writing Magazine Student Prize, New Media Writing Prize 2023

I DREAMT OF SOMETHING LOST is a short interactive narrative about data, grief, and memory. You take control of Jules as they sit down to their desktop computer and discover a new message from their ex-girlfriend - who died a year ago to the day.

Includes a functional fake desktop interface with:

  • Instant messaging
  • Music player
  • Notepad app
  • Navigable folders

IDoSL is intended to act as a 'proof of concept' for the Phantasos Template, a code library made using Unity and Ink Studios' ink narrative scripting language to help digital artists and writers interrogate data through storytelling.
