Has anyone experience using this or similar tools for e-learning / in-house "edutainment" solutions? Like walking a stakeholder through how to write a user story, or introducing how to do a certain task with in-house systems?


I've been on the receiving end of that.

Place I worked at a few years ago, used to have some mandatory courses about various of the company's concerns, like security practices, contract handling, or various other stuff. They decided to make it "fun" by having the courses done as some form of interactive thing which could certainly be done with Twine/Sugarcube.

It was hit and miss. I think there's a very thin line between writing something "entertaining" and something "awfully cringe". Some of the stuff was ok, but sometimes they veered a bit too much into writing some weirdly fantastic story over explaining whatever it was they wanted to explain.

So I'd say it is a valid tool in itself; it can work. But as with any other tool, the result depends a lot on how you use the tool.
