Walking a tightrope, July 5, 2025

Alright, you have a tightrope performance for the crowd. This is a choice game, with branching outcomes based on the few choices available within the tight word limit.

I think I tried every combination of choices, but I was only able to reach what I think is a suboptimal ending. That said, there are a couple of bad endings as well, some of the splat variety and another where... just imagine what happens next when you're a really bad comedian performing in a theatre with an angry audience. The tone of the writing is pretty gloomy in all. Still, it's good to play for a bit.

I'm not sure if there's a way to bedazzle this crowd and create the show of the century.
