Roma Tenebris is a text-based simulation game with elements of startegy created in October 2023 for Bare-Bones Jam. It was an interesting, although a bit fatiguing, experience to try using Twine not only as a software for plot organisation but as a medium for coding. Finally, this is more of a sketch rather than a complete game, and still it represents some of the ideas and mechanics which could be implemented into a larger project.
