There was a woman who was born in a bookshop. She dreamt in words, spoke in pictures, and always knew a liar when she saw one.

Fifteen Monsters All In A Row
A couple of years ago, my niece (then 5) and my nephew (who was 2), wanted to design a computer game, so we designed a computer game. Then I spent so long getting round to actually making it that now she’s 7, and he’s 4. But at least it got made, so I’m not that terrible after all. Just quite slow.
So here’s Fifteen Monsters All In A Row (It’s made in TWINE so should work in pretty much any web browser).
Now Fifteen Monsters All In A Row is a game about fifteen monsters, all in a row. Can you make your way past them and reach the end? And more importantly, will you do it nicely, or horribly? It is, I suppose, up to you.
This game contains 15 monsters (all in a row), several secret monsters (occasionally in a row), multiple solutions to every problem (almost), some exciting stories (occasionally), at least two jokes, and even a super secret special ending.
And also a mystery mon.
Estimated Playthrough Time: 10 minutes
Estimated Replayability Factor: Infinite

(This exciting monster isn’t in the game, but is standing on a list of secrets, or maybe spoilers, from the game. So that’s why he’s here.)

The house at dusk stands out black against the reddening sky, a lone monument upon the hill. The house at dawn looks much the same, yet who can tell what fresh horrors have occurred within its walls during those long hours between.

There once was a town that was besieged by beasts. Cats caught the fish from the lake, curling their paws beneath the waters and hooking them out with a quick swipe of their claws. Foxes ate the chickens in the hen house, biting off their heads with a single snap of their jaws. And packs of wolves… well, they would eat your own grandmother in her bed if they caught so much as a sniff of her.
So to keep themselves safe, the people of the town built a wall that stretched around the whole of the town.
In the days that followed its completion, the cats climbed over it, the foxes burrowed under it, and the wolves bit through the wires as if they were string. Only the people of the town were stopped by the wall, trapped inside and unable to escape.
“What’s wrong with the wall?” they wondered, and together set about identifying where they had gone wrong. It needs to be higher, they said. Deeper. Stronger.
Those were the faults they identified. Those were the faults they vowed to fix.
