Henry's life is in your hands. Choose wisely. Points of Articulation is a serialized participatory sci-fantasy horror novel. In it, we (the audience) follow and puppet a protagonist called Henry. When Henry volunteers for the Pembroke-Wilkins neuroscience trial, he expects to be poked and prodded. What he doesn’t expect is to be followed home by otherworldly monsters, much less to become their unwilling marionette. Written chapters are released weekly on Tuesdays for free at patreon.com/pointsofarticulation. Each chapter ends in a poll — what should Henry do next? Become a free Patreon member to vote. Episodes are released biweekly on Mondays. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hello dearest Hive Mind,As the audio reaches the end of Act 2, the written chapters reach the halfway point of Act 3 and the story as a whole, and we approach the one-year anniversary of the first chapter of Points of Articulation, I wanted to give a few quick community announcements. (The above audio provides the exact same info as the written bits below, so pick your poison.)Anniversary ShenanigansAs you may know, the Hive Mind tends to... misbehave between acts of POA. As we approach the hiatus between acts 3 and 4 — which should coincide with the one-year anniversary — I've enlisted the most devious creatives I know to prepare something even more ambitious than everything we've done before
