My first interactive fiction game, made in Inform 7. A one-room, vaguely cyberpunkish game: you have ten seconds to prepare before a hitman reaches your flat. What happens next depends on what precautions you have taken.
I apologise for any cheap coding tricks or roughness around the edges: I learnt Inform pretty much from scratch during these three days. I choked on the compo; I'm glad I made it in time for the jam, though.
Also, despite my best efforts, some of the planned elements had to be dummied out due to lack of time: most glaringly, the implant went from having an effect on the plot to being basically just a meta-device explaining how the player can undo and restart. However, the finished product is perfectly winnable and has no known bugs.
Difficult, possibly unfairly so, but short enough that the whole point is to experiment and see what you can do differently the next time around.

EDIT: Fixed a very silly bug (caught by Zwergesel) that allowed you to bypass the entire game. Thanks, mate!
