About this story
Man, Lord of Machinery is a branching interactive adaptation of Romain Rolland's expressionist screenplay-play, set in Tout-Cosmopolis, the gleaming capital of the Machine Republic. You arrive as the diplomat Agenour for the grand inauguration of the Machines, and walk a glittering procession that curdles into revolt as the great engines wake and turn on their makers.
Roughly 70 reachable passages, two hub menus of vignettes, and two endings, presented in the stark serif chrome of its original Harlowe build. Ported from Man, Lord of Machinery, JDCorley's interactive adaptation of the public-domain play by Romain Rolland, used under CC0.
