Twine Dugger

For developers and cheaters in Twine games: See the game state, edit variables, track changes, and debug issues.

A browser extension to give you super powers in text-adventures and interactive fiction. Twine Dugger is a suite of devtools designed for developers looking to debug and test, and players looking to cheat or manipulate their game experience.

Built to support the major story formats, SugarCube and Harlowe, Twine Dugger lets you inspect, track, and alter the state of compatible Twine games on the fly. Adjust your in-game stats, relationships, money, or gold during testing, or lock complex states to see how your narrative paths adapt.

Note for Harlowe games: Because Harlowe's API isn't normally accessible through JavaScript, Twine Dugger requires Harlowe games to use Chapel’s Unofficial Custom Macro Framework.
