*The Sacrificial
Trail* is a rogue-like survival game, inspired by The Oregon Trail and casts you in the role of a mysterious driver, who has to make it to a certain place without falling asleep on the wheel or running out of gasoline. And then there's this strange unicorn…
There are six different endings, for 3 of which you need to make it till the end.
Sadly, there are no graphics, and no sound.
:bangbang::warning: Version 1.00 is has a game-breaking bug towards the end, please play version 1.01! :warning::bangbang:
When you die, there's a Game Over screen which will have a couple of hints for you. The less said about the game, the better, but here's some more advice:
* Fatigue builds up the longer you're exposed to a strenuous situation. Sometimes it's better to go fast.
* When choosing roads, be aware of their condition and inclination. Steep inclines cost a lot of time and gas, steep declines allow you to save on both.
* When you aren't sure about how things are connected, take shorter roads and see how their condition affects your game.
* fixed brainfart-code for sacrifice handling. It should work now.
* 1.01 (2.5 hrs after deadline)
* fixed game breaking bug towards the end
* fixed incidents with the unicorn not appearing
* minor other fixes
* 1.00
* initial release (COMPO VERSION to rate)

“Your source is just your game as .html. What's the deal with that?”
Since the game was written in Twine using the SugarCube 2 story format, you can drag the .html file and drop it into the Twine editor and it should open. :)Change Log
