WetWare Essentials for Visual DOS
WetWare Essentials for Visual DOS is an interactive fiction that is a prequel to Visual DOS 2024 Tech Preview. Even though it takes place before Visual DOS 2024 Tech Preview, it's meant to be easier to access, lacking the puzzle mechanics and instead focuses on the narrative. It has the same basic dream loop from Tech Preview, but adds context and allows some additional exploration.
WetWare Essentials was created for the Narrat Jam - Summer 2025, and also submitted to the Trans Representation Game Jam 2025.
Visual DOS 2024 Tech Preview
Visual DOS 2024 Tech Preview is a bootable Operating System that serves as the environment for an Interactive Fiction. Where Visual DOS 2024 was a web application that mimicked an operating system, Tech Preview is an actual x86 operating system, built on the COSMOS libraries. It was written for the Trans Representation Game Jam 2025 in C#. A narrative engine was written for the dream sequences as a psuedo C# script, and it contains a basic text reader and file system.
The games premise is that you have received an early version of Visual DOS 2024, the Tech Preview. It promises many features, mainly an entirely Generative AI command line. Through exploring this early version, you are thrown into a recursion and loop, discovering unexpected things about yourself and the world around you.
The online version of the game on Itch.io uses the v86 emulator to boot the OS within the website, allowing the game to be played without needing to install Virtual Box or other software to play.

Visual DOS: Integer Overflow
You are a private investigator in debt. A group of people have showed up at your door with a large cash deposit, and a request that you find their missing loved ones: local employees of the international tech corporation Visual Corp., makers of Visual DOS 2024 and other critical programs the world relies on. The police have ignored them, and they promise a large payday on just finding information on their whereabouts.
- Over 10,000 words of narrative and lore, inter-office emails that add to the alternate universe of Visual DOS 2024.
Written in Narrat for the Queer Halloween Stories Bundle 2024.
I had planned to join the Game Jam for this bundle, and remembered half-way through the submission period. I had two weeks to learn Narrat, write the story and create the art for the game. The art is a combination of vector images and VRoid models.
The game is a visual novel that includes cryptogram puzzles for a "hacking style" mechanic.
