Eh., March 6, 2015

As an author ((on the side) who definitely has struggled with writers' block before) I felt like this game COULD have struck home with me, especially as it goes downhill in the latter segment. But it didn't. It felt self-pitying, "look at how badly I treat myself just to write stories for you!". It's more of a rant than anything else, though an occasionally well-written one, but I can't get behind its sentiment in the least. That's a danger everyone exposes themselves to when they rant; you run the risk of turning people off - and the game did that for me.

Also, the formatting is somewhat unpleasant on the eyes. I understand that it's supposed to be a dig at Twine's typical formatting, but as someone who can't quite understand the hate for the default, it seemed quite overbearing.

The prose is decent, and the author seems to be technically experienced, but... sorry, just doesn't do it for me.
