Pippi Preservation in The Labyrinth of the Lost

Inspired by the text based dungeon-crawling games of the 1980s, “Pippa Preservation in The Labyrinth of the Lost” is a Twine game that sees players explore a labyrinthine lair in an attempt to find a way out and preserve the highly unstable artefact, ‘The Cartridge’. 

This game seeks to illustrate the myriad issues facing videogame preservationists and cultural heritage professionals hoping to preserve videogame history. Themes of obsolescence, restrictive technical protection measures, and the instability of the videogame medium will be explored in this short and funny choose-your-own-adventure maze.
