Points of Articulation

Henry's life is in your hands. Choose wisely.

Points of Articulation is a serialized participatory sci-fantasy horror novel. In it, we (the audience) follow and puppet a protagonist called Henry. When Henry volunteers for the Pembroke-Wilkins neuroscience trial, he expects to be poked and prodded. What he doesn’t expect is to be followed home by otherworldly monsters, much less to become their unwilling marionette.

Written chapters are released weekly on Tuesdays for free at patreon.com/pointsofarticulation. Each chapter ends in a poll — what should Henry do next? Become a free Patreon member to vote. Episodes are released biweekly on Mondays.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
