Nice game mechanics, unfortunately, I wish there was a timer for queued events.

sfernald 2013-04-29 18:33

Yeah, I could add a countdown on each turn letting you know how the events are progressing. Good idea.

Works quite well, extremely playable.

"Covered in her blood, you wonder if she was really the one." Made me laugh. Awesome.

Pretty cool. It seemed somewhat though that I was exploring all of the choices eventually which dimished my sense of being in control somewhat. I enjoyed the setting and the story though

Well, that was different!

Most intriguing.

very nice, enjoyed the writing!

Nice one, beautiful story and agreable to read !

Enjoyed it! Reminds me of my earlier games :)

I wish there had been an option to just let turns pass more often, so I wouldn't have to research a cure for the zombies I had just decided to use for something else.

Tompudding: yeah, needed more choices. Also options expire four turns so it is possible to miss turns. If I set that to three turns, a lot of choices would be missed on each play, but then it wasn't possible to reach the win condition, so I left it as it was. Definitely needed more options which I would have done with more time. Had a whole alien race invasion storyline when you explore the galaxy which had to get cut.

Crowbeak: yeah, I debating whether to offer a 'pass turn' option on every turn. Probably would have been a good idea. If you use it though, you probably won't be able to win the game. Every turn counts to win.

Mikelovesrobots3: That was my favorite line, lol. That and the whole concept of resurrecting and consuming your wife over and over again for eternity, lol.

Roll your own text adventure engine! Very cool. Twine can do just about anything itself, but it can be a pain to customize.

hopps 2013-05-02 19:33

Pretty cool that you made your own engine! I Enjoyed it!

Holy crap this is well written. It might take several playthroughs to uncover it all.

Well written and interesting.

Would have liked to pass. I wanted to honour my wife's wishes and not resurrect her. As it was, I kept resurrecting her and draining her lifeforce.
