Hazlo (Do it) is a short interactive hypertext fiction made with Undum, a tool to create hypertext interactive fiction games. The protagonist of the story is the reader, who has to choose between two possible options that will change his/her fate. It is a mystery and horror story in which the tension is increased by the fact of having the possibility of finding two possible endings of the same story. The reader is rewarded if he or she is brave and punished for cowardice (Maya Zalbidea Paniagua).

Nothing You Have Done Deserves Such Praise is an art/ poetry/ adventuring game, a playland for exploring our ever-present desire for constant and over-blown rewards. Our worlds (digital and breathing) are filled with needless and unearned praise, we are built to love exploding trophies for fifth place. This art/poetry game satisfies your compliment addiction by celebrating your walking/ jumping/ falling through strange and wondrous anatomical lands.Nothing You Have Done Deserves Such Praise is a 2013 commission of New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc. for its Turbulence website. It was funded by the National Endowment for the Arts.
