Looks real nice. Good job!
Like when people try something more complex than
the standard Twine UI.

amazing use of twine, but for some reason i can't get past the train part, assuming i should be able to do that. there's an $identity variable visible at times, maybe it has something to do with this? or perhaps the theme?

I like how you didn't just have a black and white console like most text-based games!

Beautiful work. I love the way you utilized the tool (Twine) to really capture the work you're attempting to do.

I've never seen anything like this using Twine. I like it!

I did't totally get it, but it's a good experimental game!

Couldn't figure out how to board the train, but I liked the use of Twine!

Can't say I really "got" it, but it was very interesting (and it got me to go and read the story you based it on as well, which was quite interesting). Amazing Twine work though. Makes me really want to dive into how to make more interesting Twine things like this, since so far I've only made very basic ones.

I'm pretty amazed with what you've done with Twine here: real-time events, cycling links, the weird symbols looking like glitches, the works. The art is very professional and evocative. All in all, extremely interesting and well done, with immense amounts of mood. The concept is intriguing.

However, there doesn't seem to be much to do in the game, unless there's a way of getting off the station that I haven't found yet.

I'm impressed, and will definitely read the story at some point.

Typoes: "You are sitting a jet black bench" is missing an "on"; "infront" should be two words; "enscription" should be "inscription".

I don't get it. I don't know if I was supposed to get it. Not much else to say.

Dark, creepy, atmospheric and very strange.

I like the idea. But I didn't get past that train. Stuck in a loop.
And I would have really liked some bg music.
But good job tho :)

Interesting take on the theme. :)
