We Failed to Deliver Salvation
by astramodal
I recommend that you jump right in without knowing much about it, preferably on a widescreen device like a tablet, laptop, or desktop. Read on if you'd like some details.

🫵 Instructions
You are a pilot, tasked with navigating narrative space in order to find [       ]. 

⚠️ Caution
Content within contains references to subjects like abuse, death, suicide, and grief.

🗒️ Info, Inspirations
We Failed to Deliver Salvation is an experimental piece of ergodic science-autofiction inspired by media like Signalis, Severance, Disco Elysium, Heaven Will Be Mine, and Photopia, to name a few.

🚀 Story Interaction Method
Iso's recollections are nonlinear, requiring you to piece together your own reading of the story from the memories you'll be scrolling through. All you need is a method of scrolling the web-page: a mouse, a trackpad, or page-up & page-down keys.

⚙️ Build
We Failed to Deliver Salvation is built in HTML. No AI was used in the construction of this narrative.

❓ Is this a Game? Or a Book? What?
Ergodic literature straddles the line between book and game. Essentially, We Failed to Deliver Salvation is a piece of digitally accessed and formatted writing (or, cybertext) structured in such a manner that it can require more than linear left-to-right-top-towards-down reading to piece together the narrative. 

How you navigate narrative space is up to you, pilot.

💫 Special Thanks

I love that this story has found a home to be shared through, uncompromising to its form. Your effort is so worth it.

What an incredible work!! I read it two times, once straight through and a second time in my own attempt at following the number order, and both times, I ended on the verge of tears. A beautiful and tragic story that can be read over and over again, and in a different way every single time, if you so choose.
