How It Begins
You're a homeschooled child who is heavily focused on competing in spelling bees. The game tells you that, despite working very hard indeed, it's almost certain that you will not win Nationals.
Notable Features
- Rather than the branching-tree structure typical of CYOA, major player options ('storylets') are context-dependent. (This is the standard approach for Varytale and StoryNexus games.)
- The game cycles through the course of several years, with many events dependent on the time of year.
