Short speed-IF twine game about being trapped in a fantasy/magic death game, December 1, 2025
Related reviews: less than 15 minutes

This is the last of the Slovakian student games, I believe, and a good one to end on, with a larger structure than many of the others.

You are a player in a cruel game run by a wizard, and you have to pass through three mini-games. You have a couple of options each time, some of which lead to death, but you can always retry each world.

There are some typos and I feel like the narrative plot arc could be structured better (with more rising action and a little bit longer denouement) but otherwise this seems pretty good.
