Hi! I'm Michael Smith, and I like to write interactive fiction. Choices and nodes and stuff! 😌
I recently revamped a jam game that I'm very proud of:
It's called "Carcinogen".

My favorite yurijam read so far. I appreciate how grounded - and interested in - reality it is, while simotaneously being so surreal. The interlocking narratives/watercolor art/general aesthetic and texture make the whole VN feel like a dream you can't wake up from.

it's not just that means testing unfairly gatekeeps care from people on the edges of the economic goldilocks zone. the logic ripples out through culture and influences how we talk about poverty, race, and disability. we do not talk about helping people without first talking about who not to help.
