Dive into the woods with this interactive hypertext, which narrates three folk tales concerning the theme of the Old Crone. Will you escape, or become prey to the mysterious old witches who live in the woods?
Forbidden Curiosity
Forbidden Curiosity is an interactive hypertext that explores the theme of the Old Crone through the folk tales of three different cultures. As “player,” you can explore three distinct retellings of the Old Crone tale in this hypertext. Think of this hypertext as less of a game, and more of an interactive storytelling experience: that said, the choices you make do matter insofar as they lead to different endings. We invite you to backtrack, explore different outcomes, and journey down all three paths. For the most immersive experience, please use full screen mode.
This hypertext was, in part, inspired by Porpentine Charity Heartscape’s work at the Whitney Biennial.
