Took me a few runs to get through to the last floor and had none to spare. But then I got it right :)
Good idea, good looking theme but I feel that sounds to accompany the text are missing, specially with those short lines.

paperblurt 2013-08-26 08:19

Hi man.

Thanks for playing the game, and kinda enjoying it. You mean I should add in sounds too?

robotparking 2013-08-26 15:03

Delightfully bewildering.

madk 2013-08-26 15:25

"Jew Bet". Heh. You're a bad person.

withoutpillow 2013-08-26 15:54

creative take on the theme, i like it!

bradleysmith 2013-08-26 16:45

Quite deep, but in a good way.

spelchan 2013-08-26 17:10

Surprisingly fun text adventure. I might have just restarted the game from the current chapter instead of restarting the game as replaying multiple chapters is a bit annoying.

latcarf 2013-08-26 17:14

That's, hum, odd. And a bit boring, to be frank. You should at least add some music to it.

mesene 2013-08-26 17:16

I felt like science dog :S

dmastergames 2013-08-26 17:16

Was amusing. Worth Playing. Good Job.

pbdiode 2013-08-26 17:27

Interesting! Great use of twine!

puzzlem00n 2013-08-26 23:54

Huh. Fun. It has those little hints of feeling deep. It's good.

everblind 2013-08-27 18:18

Good entry :) Congrats

doonay21 2013-08-27 18:19

Nice work!

lokarunith 2013-08-27 19:29

It was very nice and fun to play, some music would help to settle the mood.

jmaggard62 2013-08-27 19:50

Very interesting little text adventure

paperblurt 2013-08-27 20:17

Hmm.. Seems like music would've added that little extra..

triplevisiongames 2013-08-27 20:27

Great mood. Quite strangely poetic, bit frustrating starting again each time though.

devi-ever 2013-08-28 05:58

At first I was like.... uh... ok... I guess... and then I was like... Heck yeah!

I found it amazingly thoughtful. :)

garygreen 2013-08-28 19:20

That was off-the-wall, and I thought it was great. :-)

tammilion 2013-08-28 19:20

Wow! I made it in one play through and didn't understand to much of the jokes as I am dutch XD Hilarious :P

pinktreeleaf 2013-08-28 19:23

WTF
this stands on the line between quirky and I have no idea whats going on.

fluffy-tigers-in-the-sky 2013-08-28 19:52

Interesting

le_john 2013-08-28 20:53

Liked a lot !

cryovat 2013-08-28 21:10

...wh... what. Rock Hudson? Titanic.. My head hurts. This is hillarious, but so, so confusing... And my sides hurt too. And my eyes are full of tears. :D

My hat off to you!

udo 2013-08-28 21:17

Wow, that was surreal. Thanks for making this, as weird as it made me feel at times ;)

flamecow 2013-08-28 21:36

An interesting and amusing idea. Not bad!

gabriel 2013-08-28 22:40

Lovely! It really does get you to think about life and choices... The burning people part is incredibly visceral. Congratulations! I admit I got curious about your personal story. :)

theholychicken 2013-08-29 00:12

Ahaha.. Enjoyed this one, feels like an interactive poem. Nice work!

matthewvermaak 2013-08-29 02:14

Great writing. Took a few times, but I got there! Good job :0)

lizengland 2013-08-29 20:11

I enjoyed this. I love all the fast switching I have to do mentally each time I get to a new (second) story. Kind of like quickfire trivia, where I felt I had to answer fast but the questions were always totally from left field.

christina-nordlander 2013-08-29 21:25

You've done some very cool stuff in Twine here (speaking as someone who has Twine but is very far from having learnt all the tricks). Nice use of colours, visuals, timers, etc.

Some of the story snippets were pretty good (the war zone bit was probably my favourite), and I like the story/story pun, but as a whole, this seemed a bit too incomprehensible for me. I've got nothing against absurdity and symbolism, but here, it all seemed too vague to add up to much.

Hard one to rate: I enjoyed playing it, but I can't quite put my finger on what I was doing.

eddy93 2013-08-29 23:52

Very original concept

paperblurt 2013-08-30 05:21

Hi @Christina.

Like your comment and I understand it. This is not for everyone, but I haven tried to make a game that excludes anyone either.

Glad for your feedback..

gsmproductions 2013-08-30 10:33

Funny twine game, if a little disconcerting :D Managed to beat it on my second run though, felt pretty good. And all in all a very nice experience, really different!

hayawi 2013-08-30 11:43

I liked the idea, but I felt that some desicions were sort of random, while others actually did have meaning. Made it on my second try :P (I just had to punch that guy in the face)

p4nurge 2013-08-30 15:55

Fun, quirky and thought-provoking. I breezed it on my second playthrough. :)

paperblurt 2013-08-30 16:11

I really like that so many actually finish the game. Permadeath can be a bummer!

Appreciate it!

finnegan2100 2013-08-30 17:48

I enjoyed playing this. Made me (happily) frustrated and I almost quit, but managed to win. Fun text game!

kristof 2013-08-30 22:38

Interesting approach.

cakemonitor 2013-08-31 08:09

Well written, could have used some sound or music. Each level felt unrelated and the choices felt random - instead I would have liked your story to create a world and for my choices to relate to what I'm learning about your world as I play.

lazyeels 2013-08-31 14:31

Interesting idea and one of the first twine games i've played ever.

sengi 2013-08-31 15:46

Crazy pink quest) I like it!

vaelzan 2013-08-31 16:47

A bit confusing and most of my stuff was just guessing/luck really. Nonetheless still enjoyable.

farmergnome 2013-09-01 00:02

Awesome entry, loved the take on the theme!

linuus 2013-09-01 18:32

Very interesting. I like it!
Some music really could've added to the eerie atmosphere.

diogomuller 2013-09-02 16:51

Funny game, great humor and creative interpretation on the theme. Great!

otus 2013-09-04 17:16

Very unique.
I specially like how it works with your imagination.

oldpeculier 2013-09-04 20:57

I don't get it.

jhelle 2013-09-04 21:01

I don't really know how to interpret and/or rate this. It's interesting but also so so very weird .

rissatto 2013-09-05 16:17

Really nice game!

infernet89 2013-09-05 18:44

Oh, a text-based game! Nice narration, but i don't like trial&errors system in this kind of game, sorry.

foul 2013-09-06 16:29

ohh, got "wrong" around past half.. but it was interesting to try again and then... sooner or later :)

super-hamster 2013-09-11 16:12

Interesting idea

porglezomp 2013-09-14 21:19

Very frustrating when I get sent back from near the end, I wish you'd put some checkpoints.

georgebroussard 2013-09-16 06:55

Interesting. I failed the first couple of floors, then finished all of them in one go, generally just not being a dick :) As I got closer to the end I was like "pick right, pick right!" because the fear of failure took over.
