Hi folks! My first entry is ready. Took nearly 6 hours.

It is an interactive text adventure.

My goals:

- I wanted to get a feeling how hard is is to write a branching story - it escalates pretty quickly: The game is only about 5 minutes long, but has 9 endings.

- I wanted a little stat system, that shows the player how many other players discovered an ending

- I also wanted to write a little interactive fiction engine.

This story is clear. Minimalism adds some mood. Bravo ++

Interesting game! I like the nice smooth transitions between branches. And the sudden transition in font to the 'other' side was awesome.

Typo: You removed the blanked!

Very nice concept, but there aren't a lot of options :/

Hi there, interesting idea. 18.9% saw the ending I reached. Good job!

Very nice change of pace from all the other entries I've seen so far. Not bad at all for 6 hours work, I'd love to see more!

I love the branching story, you made a great job, maybe could be better with some sound effects ?

One of the more interesting takes on the theme, the narration is good, too; yet it's a tad short, and I'm afraid trying to develop this further would make the thing escalate pretty quickly. ^^"
