A sci-fi twine game with many endings about a powerful AI, November 4, 2017
Related reviews: less than 15 minutes

This was a short Ectocomp game written in 3 hours or less.

In that time, the author provided nice background music and good text styling.

The game is fairly linear; all of your choices affect only the next paragraph, until the end, when your choices open up a few different ending options.

I wish I knew more about my choices so I could feel better immersed as the character. The storytelling was good; I could definitely see myself enjoying a longer game from this author, and I enjoyed this one.

Merging of Creator/Creation/Created, November 5, 2017

A series of iterations of an AI deity being built. Rather than violence and creepy imagery, this game concerns itself more with existential dread:

"You awaken, with eyes everywhere, ears that hear all.

It is time for you to make the world right."

Iā€™m hesitant to say much more about it ā€“ I think it works best going in without much prior knowledge ā€“ but the look of the game is pleasingly console-screen-style, and along with the ambient soundscape, the whole thing provokes a sense of heavy, dreamlike melancholy.
