About Driving Alone at Night
Driving Alone at Night is an interactive story, built in Twine, about driving around San Diego after college and feeling a little lost. You click your way through the night, and the story moves along with you.
It reads more like a mood piece than a game to win. The pace is slow on purpose, and the GIFs that fill the screen were all made by the author. The goal is a meditative, aesthetic feel, and you can sit with each scene as long as you like.
It started as a class project and an entry in an e-literature competition. A mouse is all you need, and it works best full screen. You can play Driving Alone at Night online right here, and Driving Alone at Night free of any account makes it an easy one to try.
How to Play Driving Alone at Night
- Make the window as large as you can, full screen if possible. It works best that way.

- Click the choices and links to move the drive along.

What to Expect in Driving Alone at Night
Expect something quiet. The point is the feeling: late roads, a city at night and the uncertainty of life right after graduation. Images and GIFs carry as much of it as the words do.
If you want a puzzle or an action game, look elsewhere. If you like short interactive stories that care more about atmosphere than winning, this one is built for that.
