I give you : PIEF, a minor insignificance compared to the masterpiece that is the graveyard but unfortunately it is the best our meagre skills can achieve.
Creator's Statement :
A dress up game, whereby when an item is chosen, a small poetry window is displayed evoking memories associated with that piece of clothing.
After dressing, you will be scored 0-100%, depending on the order of clothing clicked ; 100% is given for the correct order of the "story".
The story is about time travel (symbolised by Travis, the Moonstar), longing and missed opportunities.
"If only I wore brown that day maybe he would have noticed me."
It is also, of course, a gay love story.
Oh yah.
I was gonna say, 'the clothes don't make a difference,' but then I read the last sentence. That's gotta be the most risque gay flash I've ever seen. I didn't think much of the poetry, but it was consistent in style and message so that's good. Dress-ups, meh, but you added a new element to the genre with the whole story line dealie, so good on ya.
We wanted to do it in polari but decided it would be too inaccessible.
