Burn Ban

Burn Ban is an interactive visual novel with social media simulation mechanics accessed through the in-game character’s cell phone. You assume the role of Twig, a mentally ill queer girl who is sent to Camp Sisquoc, a summer retreat for misguided students. Just as Twig is getting used to camp life, her dead friend’s social media mysteriously starts posting again, and she and friends are set with determining the mystery behind the posts.
