Résumé
Upward mobility. Mediocrity. Never good enough.
"It takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place."
- Alice in Wonderland
Written in Texture for Neo-Twiny Jam: June 2023. Inspired by Emily Short's First Draft of the Revolution and Endure, Résumé is an attempt to capture the feeling inside the bell jar under 500 words.

The manner of dragging and dropping commands has me considering it as a convention for a variety of interactive fiction scenarios. We have choice-based IF and a parser... but this drag-and-drop style that you've highlighted here is altogether unique!
If anything, you've proven that resume tweaking can (and should) be gamified. I like this a lot!
Thank you! It’s actually a feature of the platform https://texturewriter.com/ which was designed to be …the child of CYOA and a parser.
Since you like literature, try this if you have not. https://texturewriter.com/play/emshort/endure
I found this engine both more liberating and constraining at the same time (compared to a parser or choices). Not sure I’d like to use it again because it necessitates a specific design to work but a curious engine for sure.
