A personal literary archive
Artax Lives
Interactive stories, visual narratives, prose and poetry — kept in one place, and lit one at a time.
Artax Lives is a personal archive of interactive stories, visual narratives, prose, poetry and experimental fiction — some finished, some still moving.
Every work here was made for the same reason: grief is easier to carry when it is given a shape, and easier still when someone stays to tend it. The archive keeps them in order, holds the light steady, and waits for you to come back.
The Lantern Test
Placeholder demo story
A deliberately small demo story used to exercise the VN runtime end to end: two scenes, one branching choice, a variable, a flag, layered characters, music, ambience, a sound effect and two endings. The writing is placeholder text, not authored narrative.
