A standalone extract from The Deadly Nightshade, a solarpunk interactive fiction game.
Extract from a larger game - "The Deadly Nightshade". You play as Quinn (they/she), a gorgeous scientist whose brutal analysis of any situation has justified every sin you've ever committed. Until tonight.
In the near-future, humanity has retreated to glass domes after the toxic atmosphere outside became too dangerous to survive. These domes are lawless places - yours ruled by the Deadly Nightshade, a ruthless gang of which you are the second in command. This extract begins after a series of the crimes you normally commit to maintain your grasp on the Dome have been going slowly wrong - and your girlfriend's revelation that she is just as scared of you as anyone else is enough to push you over the edge. Everyone in the Dome is terrified of the burning world outside. It only makes sense to cleanse them all with fire.
