Ava’s Variations is now on Steam 🎾
Ava’s Variations is a choice-driven interactive fiction set in the world of tennis. You play as Ava, a young professional at the very start of her career — and your decisions can quietly (or brutally) shift the tone, the relationships, and the direction of her trajectory.
I’m the indie dev behind the project, and the idea comes from my own relationship with tennis. I’ve followed the sport for years, and I’ve played it too — and what stayed with me wasn’t only the technique, but the mental game: pressure, momentum, doubt, confidence… everything that happens between points, and outside the court.
I wanted to translate that into an interactive experience: nuanced, colorful, and intriguing — a world where choices feel personal, and where the story can bend in unexpected ways.
Demo planned for February 2026.
If you take a look at the page, I’d love to hear your first impressions. And if you’d like to keep an eye on the project, wishlisting is a simple way to support it.
Quick question: what will your first choice be — Clay / Grass / Hard (Day session) / Hard (Night session)?
