I really have no idea why other people are giving bad comments about this game. Seriously, it's probably one of the best war IF's you can find! It has everything, story, shooting, and detail.
The amount of description given per scene really brings out the atmosphere of the Great War. I even found out about new things from this game that I never knew before. (There was a cafe in the battlefield??)
This game is very well around 30 minutes to an hour, which is counted very long for an IF competition. It took me a while to reach the end of the game, maybe around 50 minutes? It's not long because of backtracking, but because it has too much things to do.
You will meet plenty of interesting NPC's in this game. Some will help you out and some will... go AWOL... You can talk to them plenty and get them to help you out in certain puzzles, which is interesting.
One issue that many people had while playing this game was the 'You have examined the backpack already' phrase. Well, I didn't really have a problem with that and found a way to overcome it. You just have to close your pack and reopen it and voila, you can reread the descriptions. Though its taxing, it's better than nothing.
There's some random times when you just get shot in the head and die. Well, that's war, and unlike in real life, you can just magically undo your death and start over again from your last turn.
Therefore, this is a good game, but if it gets a rerelease with new features and improved feedback, it will then get 5 stars.
The plot was okay, but the best thing of this game is probably the fight between the two girls and the insider. Really unique and rarely seen in twine games. The font and background was great too! Doesn't affect the eyes. Once again, good job! :D
This is one great game. It's fun, it's simple, it's disturbing. Honestly, this game is the one you should play if you are a beginner in IF. Never before I could complete a game without looking at a walkthrough, but somehow, I managed to finish this game with no problem at all for the first time. Storyline is pretty good and puzzles are easily done, provided you explore a little. Recommended.
I was curious when I started the game. Twine Story? What did it mean? So I started to enter the game and found myself laughing in the end.
This game explains on how it is like to write an IF game using Twine, which I have to admit, is exactly what I would feel like if I were to do so.
The story isn't written too badly, and can be easily understood. But 1 issue I had on the game was the horrible blue background of the game. It made my eyes hurt and took my eyes a while to get used to the world after playing it. Avoid playing if your eyes aren't so good.
If anything, this is a short game. Perhaps if you are feeling bored and just want to throw some time away, try this. You can probably finish it in 10 minutes. Or more as it goes on forever. 3/5 stars
