Playable Drama world
Rose Hall, After the Duel

Opening scene
Where play begins
The frost-bright ballroom where violin music limps on beside a carpet half-scrubbed of blood.
A world that reacts
Your choices can change relationships, reveal or conceal information, move local pressure, and alter what becomes possible next. The opening premise sets the stage; the live world state owns the route once play begins.
