9 Days in a Van with your 3 Best Friends

I really enjoyed this game. It was a compelling story with a reasonable amount of interaction. The main character had strong enough characterization to make me feel like I was really making my choices as him rather than as the player, which isn’t an experience I personally have very often with games.

I particularly liked the free-response bits where you could write whatever you wanted, it contributed a lot to the immersion. I assumed my responses were just being discarded, so the fact that they showed up again was neat.

There were a couple of typos (“ground to a half,” “dissintegrates,” and one spot with two periods separated by a space like there might have been some conditionally-hidden text there, which unfortunately I did not note the location of) but for the most part it felt reasonably polished.
