Superluminal Vagrant Twin is a 2016 interactive fiction work by Liza Daly that reworks the tradition of text-based space trading. It presents a science-fiction setting through a modern hypertext interface, using linked passages and choices rather than relying solely on the command line of older parser games. The work is suited to players interested in literary game design, space travel, and the relationship between classic interactive fiction conventions and newer forms of digital reading.
