Review
I liked the Goal/Obstacle/Complication setup. The different colors representing different approaches is a nice idea too.
I went in completely blind, not having read any of the instructions I pasted. Upon finishing my playthrough, I realized how little relevance the "programmed" story beats had. I basically skipped from step 1 to 4 by just asking simple questions and being incredibly straightforward.
I don't think this can necessarily be called a game. Maybe a writing exercise, but to me, interactive fiction requires at least a bit of intention. Your prompt has intention, but when it comes to the gameplay and storytelling itself, what's the point of playing within the rules if I can just turn your game into anything else that I want?
