you have created a monster. is a tiny interactive fiction about love, fear, (mutual?) destruction, and monsters. Not necessarily in that order. It features 17 distinct possible endings and more ways to reach them than I’m capable of doing the maths for. Secretly, it’s about accepting the self and loving the other as the only way to survive in a hostile world, but don’t tell anyone; they’re supposed to figure that out for themselves.
