Gawain

Sir Gawain and the Text-Based Adventure Game

This project is a work of interactive fiction based on Sir Gawain and the Green Knight using the Twine engine. What can “adventure” mean in a text that derives its energies from stillness? This project aims to convert the inert, descriptive, and distorted shape that adventure takes in SGGK into text-based game form, turning critical interpretation into the sensation of existing within time and narrative.
