Manzil
Manzil is a narrative text game about a family with conflicting goals; and yours is to move out of the house.
Manzil was created for my 4th year Honors project for Abertay. It is a twist on the story of the Ramayana, and an exploration of Bollywood narrative and dialogue told purely as text. This game contains toxic family dynamics and emotional manipulation, viewer discretion is advised.

The rising tension through this game is really palpable. Like you can really feel how suffocating it is to stay there but like also spending time with the family was nice. I really liked the little brother and I wanted to smooth everything over so bad when I stood up for what I wanted.
