The Zone is a spooky love letter to Annihilation, Stalker, Roadside Picnic. Weird exclusion zones. Doomed expeditions that mutate & get picked off one by one
It’s a creepy campfire story
It should be played in the dark. Huddled together.

Been thinking about something
The story does not exist in your film, book, game, play, etc...
It actually exists only in the viewer/reader/player’s mind
You’re writing storycode, compiled & executed into story as it’s experienced

[An epic thread of 2 minute #storygames for first dates & small talk]
I went on a first date yesterday and that awkward moment came
“I make storytelling games”
“Oh, what’s that?”
Oy vey! Where to start?
I pondered.
The Murder Mystery analogy? D&D? Choose Your Own Adventure books? Hope they like the Coen Brothers so I can bring up Fiasco? Or start with @JacksonTegu's Morning, to show the range? Or just go with Beastfucker? (Always memorable. Safe choice.)
