Read between the lines with PRY, currently free on iOS

The lives of others.

The lives of others.

“Interactive novella” PRY is free right now on the App Store. Actually (and this is my bad) it was free yesterday, and it’s free right now just because the App Store hasn’t updated yet. I missed the email until now. Sorry.

Dave wrote about PRY last year while I was off getting married: it’s an interactive fiction game with some unusual mechanics — you manipulate the very text to explore deeper within the story of an American serviceman flashing back to his experiences in the Gulf War. There’s clearly something to it as the game is an IGF finalist for narrative design this past week.

I’m going to try this myself, and it sounds like you should too if you’ve got a couple of hours to sink. Watch the trailer after the jump.
