Maaan- when I started playing this I almost rolled my eyes. <Ah- an artsy game with a sad story where you stay in one room- trying to show the grind in mmo's as a job>
Then- it slowly got more and more heartwarming, the choices never seemed to backfire and everything worked out- it was actually a surprisingly nice change! For a short story with basic gameplay, I actually really got into it! Now time to reset and see if there are other endings ;P
I enjoyed the story and dialogue, but it's a bit disappointing that your choices have no control over the story. It also doesn't matter if you interact with the characters or not. While I enjoyed the story by itself I wish there was more that made it a game.
Very good game. Your choices do not change the end of the story, or the long run of the story. However they will have minor small effects on the contents of the story. In the end, the game is more a straight forward visual novel than an actual game with any good or bad choices.
Enjoyed this story a lot. I was finding myself sucked in and more excited than the main character to find out what was going to happen next lol. Awesome story. Well done.
Love that you did this all by yourself, seems like you have a kink for these adventurer stories, and although I had wished for some interactive gameplay...
This was worthwhile and it is a rather touching story...
Few things I wished I had seen in this were..
-Different scenes (it would have given a better impact to viewers of the situation, as well as introductions)
-Flashbacks
-Various artsy background _after each day's end (to complement the atmosphere, during text.. could have even done it in a bubble dialog form)
-Googly eyes (maybe not)
I loved your writing, the short story was neat.. the build up from the start was a little bit slow
Have you thought of partnering with others to make a great and interesting game?
Would love to see a short interactive game with your scripts!
PS. If you had such games made before please mail me them, I'd like to check them out :)
