Cryostage is a short interactive fiction game created in Twine. It is set in a modern frozen world where figure skating is used to generate magic, and competitive skating has become a way for people to rise socially and be noticed by elite city scouts. The story follows a young skater as she competes in her first regional championship. Through choices about preparation, skates, performance style, and emotional expression, the player determines whether she conforms to the controlled expectations of competitive skating or embraces her raw, natural connection to magic.
