A short hypertext exploration of psychosis, about ignorance, defiance, and freedom—or: self-knowledge, acquiescence, and fate. Takes about 15 minutes to play. There are two significantly-divergent endings, but replays are intentionally discouraged.
Ms. Lojka was exhibited at the 2016 Spring Thing interactive fiction festival, was selected as a finalist for the 2016 New Media Writing Prize, and was aquired by the British Library’s "Emerging Formats" project in 2020.
Discussion and Reactions: IFDB, Newgrounds, Itch.io.
Some kind words:
A Work of (Dark) Art… 9/10 (Jacqueline A. Lott, interactive fiction author and critic).
I can only see this working as the perception of a pathological narrator or a non-literal story of inner exploration. For what it’s worth, it works very well in that capacity (Newgrounds review).
On the flip side:
A technical marvel with a disjointed story about identity (Math Brush, interactive fiction author and critic).
I don’t understand anything that you’re trying to say through this game. Not a single thing. (Xavier, NG Comments).
