Static React SPA exploring the Dark Forest idea as a branching narrative—world-state meters, per-beat visuals, a path timeline, and save/resume via localStorage.

Overview

Dark Forest is a React + Vite + TypeScript single-page app with no backend: npm run build emits static files. Story nodes live in modular narrative files; each beat can register its own visual component. Choices update meters, drive animations, and feed a timeline tied to your path. State can be saved and restored with localStorage.
