BAKING TIME: 30 MINUTES

Independent Designer

Game Description

'Baking Time: 30 Minutes' is a fantasy thriller Interactive Fiction game, adapting the story of Hansel and Gretel into a solo playable experience. You awake up in a cabin in the middle of nowhere, with no memories of how you wound up there or where your brother is. Your only options are to explore the area that you've found yourself in.

This game was an individual project, made as part of my Masters Dissertation.
