"A winter-locked city. Cold guns. Starship carcasses. And now, you."

Yoon Ha Lee is great. She writes like the unacknowledged offspring of Elizabeth Hand and William Faulkner, and I've liked her work since I read The Black Abacus, a short story about love and death and ethics and an unfought war in space. I found out recently that she wrote interactive fiction too. So I asked her to write something for StoryNexus.

She did, and we're launching it today. It's called Winterstrike, and it's rich and strange and very cold. And big. Play it, and learn about the the Ocular Guard and the insectines and the Woman with Tiger Guns... and the ironbird. (If you play other StoryNexus games, it's not a mistake that the turn rate is slower but the action bank larger - we're experimenting, and we think Yoon's prose is best savoured).
