but polish the little details, because:

In that game you scored 65 out of a possible 25, in 26 turns.


the bell always scores and I guess other actions too... :)

Almost like Photopia, but lacking enough fiction as well. Narrative goes as nothing but brief dialogues between dad and daughter and the tone is such that from the very beginning you know the outcome.

I usually don't care much for the outcome. The end of all things hardly is surprising. So, if there's not enough substance for thought during the journey itself, I'm left cold.

I sadly suspect twine is used more for blog entries and steaming off real life hurdles than for real fiction. In which case it's not only barely interactive as also barely fiction at all.

"You jackass, this is emotional, it empowers people to share their personal drama"

Perhaps, but so do blogs. And with comments for feedback and support.

so this is just an IF favorite time-travelling setting to show off Texture, a new IF engine out there it seems. Slick presentation and works flawlessly on a desktop web browser, but not sure how the dragging and dropping would work on mobile where mere tapping is the standard. edit: just tested, works fine.

You read text and are given courses of action as buttons on the bottom of the screen: you drag them over the appropriate highlighted word on the text to makes things move forward.

I enjoyed it. (edit: I did enjoy as a demo, but seemingly it's just a slice-of-life game) Hopefully something more substantial may come up. Not so sure it'll be used for more than slice-of-life IF: text has to be big for the drag and drop thing be effective, as well as having few options. so, interactive twitter fiction for people who like this kind of thing...

after goat simulator, and bread simulator, welcome to a new low for mankind.

the best I've played is actually Hulk Handsome's Pee Simulator. really, it's educative.

nuff said.

I got up to this:

It’s Music Duck’s biggest guitar. An enormous guitar for an enormous duck.

and the buzzing from my dumb-o-meter was too much. perhaps I should've smoked a joint...
