Twine is a digital storytelling platform that can be used to create text and image-based non-linear stories and interactive fiction.
Example Projects
Smith College Twine Tour
A MUX300 capstone student used Twine to build a historical mobile tour of the Smith College campus, featuring photos and other primary sources from Smith College Archives.
Tools used:
Twine (after a basic tutorial from a peer trainer)
Very basic HTML to insert images (with help from a librarian)
A “visit” to Smith College digital archives to source images
Smith Librarians used Twine to build a semi-linear self-guided tour of Neilson Library, which included games, quiz questions, and detours along the way.
Climbing 208 Feet Up The Ruin Wall
Twine artist Porpentine tells a story of climbing a wall with stolen archeological artifacts.
