The Fifth Seal

Made for Ludum Dare 55, April 2024

The theme was “Summoning”

---

This is an exploration of branching narrative. It’s a piece of interactive fiction, like a choose your own adventure book with variables.

It’s about a person who steals a truck and drives it to a cemetery to summon a demon.

There is no soundtrack or visuals. Only silence and written words, so put on some music and turn to your mind’s eye while you play. For music I recommend sludgy stoner metal or something dark and ambient. Apologies I didn’t have time to record anything.

It’s made in Twine, contains nearly 12,000 words, and has a handful of endings. More if you count the ways to die. Please enjoy!
