mise en abyme. French.
placed into abyss. English.
A description of the experience of placing oneself between two mirrors and seeing the infinite replication. When used in the context of literary theory, however, refers to a type of frame story in which themes within the core narratives illuminate some aspect of the greater whole.

re]de[flection contains four short stories tied together through a frame story. They are unrelated in content but connected by thematic elements. ~20,000 words.
This is an experiment.
The game will ask much of the you, the reader, yet place you in a position where you be unable to act. In order to enter into the experience you will offer up some part of yourself as collateral. This tribute will, at first, be unknown to you. Progressing through the stories will reveal what is was that was sacrificed. In order to retrieve this collateral, you must come to comprehend what was lost. You will not be able to exit until you understand.
This is an experiment.

Ah, I was wondering when you were going to make an appearance here. Is this a VN or a KN? Do we alternate between each story or finish one to the end? I'm looking forward to playing this :3

re]de[flection is kinetic up until the end, when the reader has to input a word in order to reach endgame.

The order is: frame story -> story #1 -> frame story -> story #2 -> frame story -> story #3 -> frame story -> story #4 -> frame story
