A Hair Loss Treatment v0.2.1 Public

Thank you for joining me on this journey in A Hair Loss Treatment. This is my first major project written in Twine, inspired by various interactive stories I've enjoyed, as well as RPGs, tabletop games and pop culture. While I may not be the most seasoned writer, I hope to create a unique, immersive and British experience for players.

To enhance the narrative, I’ve included a mix of borrowed and original drawings (consistent to the borrowed images style) to complement the story and give a visual window into the world I have created.

My goal is to chronicle roughly a year of the protagonist’s life, with multiple endings and early conclusions based on choices. At present, around two months of the story and three early ends are complete along with a lot of the open world activities and discoverable opportunities with much more planned. While the main plot points are roughly mapped out, there’s still room for so much additional side content and player-driven developments.

Your adventure awaits—will you embrace your fate, or fight against the forces that reshaped you? The choice is yours.
