Clever concept but a bit confusing, July 17, 2023

This is a well-made Twine game written in 500 words or less for the Neo Twiny Jam

Rather than attempting to fit a grand structure into that small space, the author has created a linear narrative that is frankly very amusing.

This linear narrative is enhanced by many little animated doodads which react to hovering or clicking. These are pretty cool, but they all seem to advance the story the same as each other; I think. That's the thing, I couldn't tell if they were different branches, little side effects that returned to the main thing, etc. So I liked the overall idea, but my brain didn't comprehend well.
