"Yo Ho, Oh No! An Anxious Pirate's Tale" centres on the tale of an anxious pirate that hunts down the Golden Chalice to grow more confident in themselves. The storyline deeply reflects my personal experiences with anxiety and conquering my fears while also showing how my choices in life have impacted the person I am today.
I'm remarkably proud of how the Twine story has come together. While it is my first Twine story, the impactful choices, interactive elements, and narrative storytelling have all come together very nicely. Now that I'm accustomed to Twine's capabilities, I will be working on many more Twine stories in the future.
