Rephrase? is a response to the source story delivered in the form of a text game, and it makes brilliant use of the interactive format in a way that perfectly answers the source's own niche format of editorial comments. Here's the author's summary:

Your company's automated vehicle system has killed someone, your team has been working all week to figure out why, and now you're working late writing the summary for your boss. It's a tough job, the kind that might even lead someone to violate the rules of business etiquette. Luckily, corporate has installed a new style checker to make sure you keep things professional.


It's heavy going in many ways - do heed the content tags - but handled incredibly deftly and with great nuance, and all too chillingly plausible. Well worth exploring how each choice gets translated in the outcome.
