The Narrator
The narrator is a stranger seeking ordinary work. He is not meant to control the history. He passes through it, hears it, resists it, misunderstands it, or slowly begins to accept it.
Fictional witness
Project Notes
About the Work
Black Providence is an interactive historical horror narrative about Salem Village, witness, moral pressure, and the ordinary machinery of accusation. The terror is social before it is supernatural.
The Horror
The horror is restrained. It comes from silence, pressure, public suspicion, religious language, testimony, and the slow way ordinary judgment becomes official.
Social dread
The Reader
The reader does not save Salem from itself. The reader becomes a witness and is shaped by choices of mercy, measure, and severity.
