Writer's Block is a choose your own adventure game made using Ren'Py. My goal for this game was to create a story where the player starts off as a less than ideal human being, who they can either choose to redeem or make into a worse person. I also wanted to learn more about how to use variables in Ren'Py, which is why I went with a morality system. 

To fill the world with interesting characters, I decided to base each major character off of a specific type of writing. Griffin, for example, is based off of biographies, while the main antagonist, One Star, is based off of critical writing/reviews. Some other characters have certain gimmicks based around how they speak.

The morality system is explained through the two characters Michi and Trey. Michi will appear if the player choses the bad option during the first moral choice. She allows the player to state their greatest desire and promised to fulfill it if they continue to make bad choices. She will accompany the player for the rest of the route, occasionally showing up to remind them about their desire. Because she is based off of creative writing, her interactions often feature a text entry box that the player can fill in, which will replace some text with that entry.

Trey is the opposite of Michi, showing up to encourage the player to make good decisions. Trey is based off of poetry, which I had reflect the way his dialogue is written. Anything he says something, its true meaning is hidden behind convoluted and poorly constructed metaphors.
