Unfortunately I didn't feel well this LD, so it became this short narrative experiment where you figuratively connect your world with others. Yeah, it's not much story right now, but this is part of the experiment. Perhaps you have some cool things to tell? (PS: Writing your own path is part of the game!)
I'm not typically a choose-your-own-adventure type of gamer, but I like the fact that you can enter your own path and upvote/downvote others. That's a great concept and I may bookmark this and come back to it later in the voting to see what other people have added.
This is awesome! I love interactive stories and the fact that I could be part of it made it special. I know it's not the first of its kind, but very well done, the atmosphere was really nice. And the best thing: this game becomes better, the more people play it. Will definitely come back to this one.
From the moment I realized how the game worked, I loved it! To me, one of the most original games this Ludum Dare. I'm curious to see how it will grow as more people play.
I am playing the Linux build (+1) and I encountered an issue: If I add my own path and write an "r" in the textbox the whole game resets to the first screen.
Beside this the idea is really interesting and I want to see how this approach will develop :)
This idea is super interesting. You may not have had time to flesh it out, but keep working with this, please. Never seen an experience like this before that allows others to influence your decisions.
I liked the fact that you put the story in the gamer's hands. I wish you had had more time to make this game. I definitely see its potential. GOOd luck!
I like the presentation and concept a lot. The graphical style and music sets a nice mood and I like the outset. Going to be interesting to come back and see where people take the story. :)
Like i love, simple and SO powerful. Like many collaborative experiment it could fall into sexual, religious, anger speech... but it could also emerge with truly surprising option who create a powerful adventure. The purpose is noble, the final could be terrible, but at the end the path would always be wonderful. +5 for the innovation ;)
It is a very original idea to make players write the story by themselves. If it was a game played by hundreds or thousands of players, would be really interesting with that many storylines. Very innovative entry.
Oh, this is a really great idea! I couldn't resist adding a few entries here and there. Will have to check back in a week or two to see how the paths have evolved! Not bad for a sick person... ;)
I love narrative games, but it felt strange to read one where people could collaborate so that meant there were paths with very different writing style from others and which did not make much sense. Could an editing system like Wikipedia uses be used here to improve it? Very innovative though and would like to see how this is further developed. Well done!
Really like the interactive story. Plus choose your own path? Now that's just awesome. Will be bookmarking and coming back to some no doubt interesting narratives.
Great job - make this into a full game before someone else does!
That's really cool idea you have here - I like how the theme spawned increasingly more games with online content than normal LDs. Your concept even accounts for the asynchronous nature of LD voting participation.
While I understand why showing the score of entry is a good thing, it feels a bit too guiding to me - and I always wondered how deep each path will go because I wanted to explore what's already there!
I feel like this game would've worked better with some sort of creative limits like the boardgame storytelling games - words that you have to use, locations etc. But well, either I'm a bit late with voting; whatever I'd write now is unlikely to spawn many new paths, so my motivation is low there. Wish I would've had time to play this earlier!
Very awesome idea. Simple, elegant idea, and yet it has so much potential! I'd very much like to see a couple different story seeds of this game get set after the jam and just let loose for a couple of months, gathering awesome and weird and stupid entries. Well done!

I wanted to add a new option, but it said "Error in first field".
ahahah the mechanics are so simple, but this is my favorite game. FIVE STARS BRO!!
I'm not sure much of the game was in there already when first published, but some of the writing is quite good.
I like music, and the interface is visually simple but appealing.
