Examples include Oral Perspectives, a VR game taking place inside the player's mouth, and Mastering Tedium, an existentialist laundry simulator played inside a text terminal. Recent work includes Pruuds vs. Sloots, a ""dumb versus game,"" and Blood Broker, a consent-based human sacrifice management simulator. junomorrow.com
Morrow's work speaks to anyone who has felt themselves to be other- which in today's world, in one form or another, is nearly everyone. A common thread of alienation runs through her various platforms, including her first book, Marginalia. -wickedlocal.com Marginalia may be one person's search for identity and understanding, but it is applicable to so many people who struggle with figuring out their identity, whether it is as an LGBTQ+ individual, a person of color, or someone who is both. Morrow's succinct style and creative eye for book design makes it highly recommended for readers of modern queer memoirs. -Lambda Literary There is a push and pull as Juno searches for the identity that fits both in accordance with herself and the way society perceives her. In the end, she embraces the idea that 'we shouldn't be afraid to claim multitudes.' Life is often complex and messy, so why should we be any different? Marginalia is a call to be unafraid of your journey to self-discovery and a powerful first-person account of someone who finds themselves in the margins of our society. These are the stories we need right now, and I hope to see many more, especially from Juno Morrow. -The Big Smoke
