Second Place, IF Comp 2000
2000 XYZZY for Best Writing

Metamorphoses is a game about transformation and aspiration, set somewhere between our own reality and the world of forms. An exercise in simulationist IF, it offers multiple solutions to most puzzles and attempts to model interactions between objects of different sizes, shapes, and materials in a realistic way, including burning and the breakage of fragile objects.

The post-competition versions get rid of several bugs and reworks the scoring system. The latest release is release 4 (2/22/02). It is downloadable or playable online. (See also Fractured Metamorphoses, below under "Experimental.")
