Absolution
An Experiment in Immersive Storytelling

I've mentioned Absolution to a few people over the years and was always met with wide eyes and their burning desire to know more. Everyone involved in Absolution believes that it should be shared with the world. For a long time, I struggled with how one goes about telling an immersive story that's already happened. After all, the story was made for an audience of one—Zarina. I gave it a lot of thought and decided to go ahead and try to tell the story.

I've broken the entire thing down into two main sections.

First, you'll journey with Zarina—from the moment she woke up to find herself inside of a story to the end where she either became a heroine or met a tragic end at the hands of an ancestral grudge.

Second, I'll then take you behind the scenes to see how it all came together—from the seed of inspiration all the way to the story's completion. Imagine that you write a story, but your main character has a will of their own. She is a real, living, breathing woman—you can't simply go back and edit scenes to make her fit the story you want.

Absolution is incredibly unusual, and you're unlikely to find anything else like it in the world.

Trust me, I've looked.
