The Wonder Nexus project was a Senior thesis piece at Otis College of Art and design. Referencing those old “Choose Your Own Adventure” books that were so much fun as a child, I set out to create a piece of interactive, branching fiction that would fully take advantage of the technology that I had available at the time. The story is a proof-of-concept for a new breed of interactive fiction on the web. Each “page” is a single node with two choices, represented by two links. As you make choices the story changes. The prototype has only 12 outcomes, some of them contain passwords to the next phase of the story (coming soon), while others are dead ends. This provides the user with a sense of having a stake in the characters destiny.
