I had a teacher who had us make CYOA stories... I gave her mine as an example, and a few days before the school year ended I asked if I could keep it, still haven't gotten it...

Nice work building a CYOA engine! I used to be really into these as a child myself. I looked at the JSON examples and they seem pretty easy to write - I could see in a longer gamejam, an editor being built to help make constructing these easier.

I also laughed at the ButlerBot story and how it depicted objects that humans normally see as normal from... well.. a robot's perspective.

I think if I had a choice, I'd make the "choice" bubbles different colors than the "narrative" bubbles, but it's not a big deal. Maybe in a full-spec engine that'd be something customization anyway.

I like that the game is built to accept any JSON file,that's the part that really stands out to me. I thought the story was humorous as well. Wish for some button press sounds or atleast give some sort of feedback to the player. Cool concept.

It's not what I expected, but it's a welcome addition to the many things of experiments on here.

I say good job, but I think it'd be cool to have the capability of images and sounds and possibly a custom theme.

That's a really great job. For the sample story, i'd expected some funny output instead of just big Game Over ! every time
