Choice

Choice: Texas is an educational interactive fiction game addressing reproductive healthcare access in the state of Texas. Play as one of five Texas women attempting to navigate the state’s reproductive healthcare system. Latrice is an attorney in her 30s trying to negotiate her professional ambitions while supporting her mother and siblings; Leah is a smalltown bartender unsure about her next steps as she considers moving on from high school; Alex is a promising high school student who struggles to live up to her parents’ expectations; Jess is looking forward to motherhood as she builds a life with her husband; and Maria is an LVN and mother trying to balance her family’s needs and her own desires. Although billed as interactive fiction, Choice: Texas is based on extensive research into healthcare access, legal restrictions, geography, and demographics, and is reflective of the real circumstances facing women in the state.
