Both their books deal with exploration, with Cole's work focusing on New York City, and Sebald focusing on the county of Suffolk.  The focus on characters is something Cole does a lot in …

To Click A Mockingbird is a Twine game prototype that I created for my first game studies class in 2015. Since then, if I have been able to turn a school project into something to do with games, I have.
