Dis game iz zee story of a duel in France. Zee challenger iz wounded and, unable to finish, callz upon hiz second to fight for hiz honour. Eet iz a fiction of zee interactive sort, no? You must play eet all to see zee ending, oui. Bon appetite!

If the game is too small or too large on your screen, most browsers have a hotkey to zoom in or out. CRTL+ or CTRL- often works for this.
Please do not use your browser's refresh or back buttons. It may cause minor, mostly cosmetic, errors.
great fun, and really good writing and programming! it gets a little repetitive over time, but i still had a good time with all the duels.
i ran into an error, however. in Zee Charcutier's fight, when he either waves the sausages or attacks i choosed to attack but got the other one. it seems you've mixed up the links, because when i tried it again and choose the sausages i attacked.
Ha, those dudes are awesome. I love what you've done with the theme! One of my favorite entries by far.
"Gentlemen," zee Courtesan sayz, "I charge for zee viewing!" A dozen coinz fly into zee cloearing.
Zee baguette hitz zee villain's side! If eet were a rapier, zee villain would be awash in blood. But eet iz not. Eet iz a baguette.
"Estoy aburrido y quiero luchar. Es simple, no?" Zee Monsieur doez not understand. Zee Spaniard iz impatient to fight.
Zee Marquis goez into a defenseeve stance! He wavez hiz sword slowly, dramatically in front of him and movez hiz feet like a danze. But dis iz no danze, dis iz a duel. Zee Marquis lookz silly.
The writing is hilarious but also a bit tiring over time. I really like the overall graphic look and feel of the game and the point that you actually catche the eye with the interpretation of "10 seconds"!
Adored your interpretation of the theme. Also, as someone who has just recently started using Twine, holy crap that is some awesome work with the interface. Super-impressed. Had a blast playing it.
Tiniest of tiny quibbles - with that much reading being a key part of the game the font of the body text combined with the exaggerated French accent becomes tiring to read after a while.
But overall, really great stuff (and I didn't know you could mess with the look of Twine games quite *that* much.. wow :) *plots, schemes, etc*)
Yeah, the length - of each passage as well as the whole thing together - is a pretty valid criticism, as well as repetitiveness. There's a lot I'd change about it - I think I'll write a postmortem in a couple days - but it's a big improvement over previous Twine projects of mine.
motty, Twine is just a glorified web page generator with an intuitive interface for the hyperlinks. So the look of a Twine game can be completely modified the same way you'd modify a website. I could make it look like (not act like) Twitter or Gmail if I were so inclined :)
I like the different take on "10 seconds." The concept is really funny, though the amount of text in parody French accent is a bit tough to get through.
