I liked it, but that font is so very hard to read.

I don't know what to say, but it's great you've created a twine game with a.... Twist.

You dirty old man... :D Not a huge fan of Twine games but this was very well written. Great job!

Erotica.
Haven't seen that before.
Interesting..

Weirdly enjoyable. Felt a bit like I was stumbling around in confusion with the other person more than everything. I'm curious to see how many places it goes.

Same as @Crowbeak, the font used makes it difficult to read.

Twine erotica. Quite possibly my favourite niche. There were some really weird, great lines in it -- "early wetness as you melt inside me", "a silent hiss of chemical infatuation". Congrats.

You could probably make an industry out of this game. Love how vague and open it is to interpretation. I didn't have any problem reading the text (in Chrome) so I'm not sure what the other reviewers are talking about.

The word "exist" leads to a blank page though. If that's on purpose-- good job, I think it's poignant and serves its purpose. If it's not on purpose... oh well. It was a game jam. Enjoyed it, thanks for making it!

@Ruthiepee - Glad you enjoyed it! The blank page after "exist",at the end, is on purpose . Thanks for playing!

Needed a smoke after that. I think that it's fair to call you a pioneer in this genre

Now I know what it feels like to play a poem...

It's funny, while the characters (and myself?) are not explained in detail, the sex of characters involved reads really clearly. I'm reminded of Pippin Barr's Hot Coffee, where it turned out that writing erotica or sexual metaphors without clearly attributing sex is actually pretty hard.

I love that you can end the scene on a blank page. It's something that I never considered for a Twine game and it just- /works/, you feel me? Great job.

Very interesting style! Liked a lot of the imagery and uses of the dialoges as side-thoughts. I kind of lost the continuity of what was going on once, but other than that I enjoyed the game! Good job!
