Future Perfect...
summary
A playable Chrome-only browser text adventure is described, built with plain HTML/CSS/JavaScript and hosted as the first chapter on Heroku; mechanics are simple read-and-choose branches rather than graphics. The protagonist Mal is explicitly female, scenes tackle everyday sexism, anxiety and depression, homelessness and class contrast, and racial diversity is handled through language not avatars. Source code is available for inspection, early feedback is solicited, and only Chrome testing is reported.
