Contextual information:

This is a prototype pseudo-game/script made for the course “Moldy Minority Narratives” at UCLA, Spring 2025. Inspired by Maxine Hong Kingston's The Woman Warrior and recent Asian American nonfiction writings on illness, this game experiments with nonsense and Internet cultural forms to meddle with the (allegedly Asian) memoir-teller’s attempts at taming their history into public-facing written coherence. Due to time constraints, choices are limited, though I hope to expand it into a full-fledged interactive fiction.

Big preesh to Khánh for the tech and moral support, to the short formers for the incredible feedback on the first draft of this script, & to Hà Nội Queer for welcoming me into their history. :3
