Play Black Beauty — an interactive story where YOU are the hero

Name: Black Beauty
Author: Anna Sewell

after the classic by Anna Sewell, 1877

Live a whole life on four legs — from sunlit meadows to London cab ranks. Trust the good hands, endure the bearing rein, pull through the storm night, and carry every master's choices in your own body until kindness finds you again.

A moment from one playthrough

The river has risen over the bridge planks and something in the dark ahead is wrong — you can smell it. Your master urges you forward; his spurs say go, the water says no. Refuse and stand though the whip comes down, or trust him and step onto the bridge?
