SAY IT'S NAME: A RUMPELSTILTSKIN STORY

Solo Creator— 2018— HTML / Twine Sugarcube

This famous imp's story often ends with the kidnapping of a young child. No story follows that child, however, leaving the fairytale classic feeling a little bit empty-handed. Until now.

Behind the scenes:

The story of Rumpelstiltskin always ends with his name being called out​— breaking the curse and saving the family. In a choose-your-own-adventure game, however, this would be hilariously easy as everyone already knows his name. To get around this, I created a story and system that would change Rumpelstiltskin's name to another cultural version of himself from around the world, algorithmically tied to the name the player gives themself.
