My Boyfriend Came Back from the War seems to provide a relatively more concrete narrative than Hegirascope, allowing the reader to pursue different branches of what appears to be a young woman’s thoughts. The key difference is how MBCBFTW creates a sort of picture at every stage, not simply revelling in the interactivity but clearly making a visual statement as the different paths into the character’s thoughts reveal a progressively more pock-marked, fractured whole. What comes to mind here are the multiple levels of thought that occur simultaneously and unrealized in, for example, Freudian psychology. Allowing these tangential but ultimately relatable ideas to create a visual chorus makes the pursuit of the narrative all the more compelling, knowing that each decision will only make the image more fractured still, as each thought or branch leads eventually to blackness. While Hegirascope offers a similar degree of interactivity, the picture it paints is one more dependent upon the individual choices made. MBCBFTW leads always to the same destination, and the choices one makes function mainly to put together the story from the bits and pieces of information stored in the different branches.
