I made this interactive fiction game in under a week, as a solo dev, and with no background of coding whatsoever. While I cannot deliver an award-winning game, I can promise that I have made this on my own, with love.
I've always had a penchant for playing indie games (or video games in general) and writing, so I thought, why not combine the two? I knew coding was a huge and essential part of it, however, I am a writer, not a programmer, so I used a platform for complete beginners to make this dream a reality (really, I couldn't have done this without ink).
If you liked the game, please consider leaving a comment or a review.
Thank you.

Speakeasy Honey is loosely inspired by the book, "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" by Taylor Jenkins Reid and this series of love letters in the 1920s.
