Not great, not terrible, June 29, 2025

A short science fiction story in CYOA style, available in Italian only. You are prisoner in a mysterious institute and must try to escape. (Spoiler - click to show)Your attempt will be in vain, as you will find out that you are entangled in an inescapable time-traveling circle, which your guardians have unsuccessfully tried to break.

The game is short and does not overstay its welcome. Many scenario elements and descriptions do well in introducing a certain atmosphere, but none of them are expanded into complete subplots or even vignettes, leaving the impression of a underdeveloped world. There are also some spelling errors, suggesting that the author was more focused in the learning experience of writing a game than on the final result for the player. Anyway, it may be worth a brief game session.
