You suddenly hear a loud scream in the street:
"The Black Shadows! They're everywhere!".
You instantly reach your backyard to raise an hidden door under a bush of roses. A secret passage appears. It leads to your secret bunker. You reach it and close carefully the door behind. Nobody can discover you, now.
The room is well furnished and organized. You can live here for years.
But you think (you don't know why) that 7 days will suffice.

A game made with Twine.

Super fine graphics.
Maybe a bit hard to understand what to do.
Felt a bit like a only clicked around.

But the irony and satire was oozing.

Good going...

Got bad end 2. Very good story telling, occassionally funny options and great graphics. A very solid entry.

Really enjoyed that! The writing was great, the message when you read Miley Cyrus book in particular. And I was shocked IRL the one time I saw a shadow through the telescope!

I think this is a good format for a storytelling game. Reminds me of a choose-your-own-adventure book.

Overall good game, feel as though the times I played it it made you want to play more and find all the other endings.

I believe this was insync with the theme and was a good interpretation

Great use of theme. Had the kind of "Horse Master" feel, which is invariably a good thing. And I too enjoyed the irony and cultural satire.

Some easily rectified stuff:
Noticed a bug: on the "Search for a radio station" node, the picture wasn't appearing.
A misspelling: "somobody (or something) is hidden behind a tree"

@Orangejuice724: Thanks!

@Snoother: Thank you very much!!! I've just fixed. I didn't know "Horse Master", at the moment I've only searched google and bookmarked it.

Liked the pixel art, good story made me feel like I was the player, and not just playing the game, good job :)

Nice! I wonder why my character was compelled to go out... is it because of too much shock?

Thanks again for the comments!
@shunshiranui: if the shock level (the only variable you can see) becomes too high, you must go out. END 2? You're lucky!!
