In this simple text game, you play as the monster of your choice. While you carry out your insignificant and imaginative story, you choose pathways that may either lead you to heartbreaking, bizarre, and hilarious endings. Explore the wilderness and cheat death.

Requires Python 2.7. Get it here: https://www.python.org/downloads/

The post comp version fixes bugs. Thanks nihilaleph!

Hdong creates a visceral, yet quirky take upon the theme and does so with grace. Looking forward to seeing more work from this guy!

I really like it

When I try to load this, I get a confusing message. Not a web game, then? What is needed to play? Python? If so, what version?

You get a full rating on humor

@Crowbeak
Yes, this game requires python 2.7. Sorry we didn't make this clear; it's been added to the description. Thanks for the feedback everyone!

I've been meaning to get python on this computer :P This was fun, I always loved choose-your-own-adventure books, and this fits the theme nicely. Some great writing (although not always grammatically correct, ie, "What if the human was not kill."), and it seemed like there was a lot of content!

I enjoyed it!

You should compile this to an exe, so more people can play it.

Actually, you probably could have done this entirely with html.

My favorite line is 529; the one with the bus. Not sure where that even came from.

Welcome :) Looking at your code the next thing you want to learn is data structures. If you like interactive fiction have a look at http://twinery.org/

Great, it reminds me of the first thing I started coding :)

But what if ludum dare was not kill

Great game! Keep learning and make more awesome things!
I crashed when I choose line 707, also I couldn't choose the line 650. It should be easy to detect what's wrong ;)

That got crazy quick! Which means I loved it! First play through, I threw a school bus at a meteor, brilliant!

Great! But there is a glitch where you cannot choose choice 3 in the german thing. it says "You can't choose '1' or '2' you idiot" when there is a 3rd choice.

@ajayajayaj
Did you download the post-comp version? It should already be fixed there.

Nice job!

Had a good laugh. Nice game.

Somehow I became a Twitter famous Yeti :P This was a pretty fun entry and some of the dialogue was quite humorous.

Nice, I'd never seen an interactive fiction game with a tutorial before. Tons of different paths, though the style got a bit inconsistent because of it. I recommend Ren'Py if you want to keep making IF in Python. It's pretty popular and I hear it's easy to use.
