Pioneer of Nowhere

When the humble prospectors of a mining camp go missing chasing a fabled treasure, local spellslinger Magnus must speak to the criminal saloon owner Nero Jarlan in order to find out where they went.

Pioneer of Nowhere is a short Twine game I wrote as an exercise from The Game Narrative Toolbox by Ann Lemay, Jennifer Brandes Hepler, Tobias Heussner, and Toiya Kristen Finley, which involved writing the introduction for a fictional game’s quest. My imaginary game, naturally, is about gunslinging wizards.
