Theseus the Scavenger is a short work of interactive fiction created by myself, Zachary Beauregard, in Twine.

This is the story of a post-apocalyptic wanderer -- you -- trying to make it to a coastal settlement. Due to the ravages of a terrible disease, you have fitted yourself with various cybernetic limbs which, after much wear and tear, have begun to break. In order to reach your destination, you will have to scavenge new limbs from the dead that litter the desert wasteland.


Good luck.


Theseus the Scavenger is appropriate for ages 15+ due to violent/distressing descriptions.


Estimated reading time: 30-60 minutes.


Should work on mobile, but you may need to read certain parts in landscape mode to avoid lines being cut off.
