Artists have to strive to see things from a distant angle. They literally have to remove themselves from their surroundings while creating, to reach the degree of abstraction that is necessary to create something meaningful. Yes, and that is why, some times, they become antisocial misanthropists.
In The Marionette by auriond, you play Martin, a sculptor, who is not all too you or aspiring anymore, and who matches the above description pretty well. Focused on nothing but his work, alienated from the outside world, proud. These character traits can serve you well if you are on your own, but if someone else gets in the way, somebody will get hurt.
Your task in The Marionette is to learn. You are sent on a symbol-heavy and surreal journey through the past of the one person that already got hurt – now it is up to you, do you want to make things worse, do you want to save what’s left to save? Do you want to change?
