About the Story

Welcome to Gambling with Eternity, the short-story adventure game that will take you where no living being has gone before: into the afterlife and beyond. As you make choice after breathtaking choice on your way to one of twenty-seven separate endings, you will encounter pure hearts and fouled ones, adventures and nightmares, friends and foes. But be cautious; the decisions you make now are bigger than anything you may have encountered within the mortal realm. One wrong move could send your fate plummeting into darkness--while a slightly different decision could have had you on a gilded throne. The difference is up to you, so choose wisely.

After all, something bigger than life is at stake: you're gambling with eternity now.

Good luck.

Multiple branches, many endings, June 14, 2025

You're dead, and have a new job to haunt stuff. Work hard, and you'll make it to the top.

The premise is pretty interesting, and the writing is definitely solid. Still, this game sets aside the usual choicescript format, opting for a statless system with plenty of branching paths, instead of the usual long and linear approach with stat checks. Without any stats, most choices matter, as these choices will determine where down the many branching paths you'll head.

The game's length is pretty variable. If you mess up (I mean, don't quite follow orders for) the earlier missions, it could end quickly, although you might still feel satisfied with the outcome. Otherwise, if you try to do your job well, you'll get more and more options until you reach the top, now with another ending.

I think the author is a very good writer, even if not writing the popular stuff in HG town. This title is free to win, so I'd recommend having a look.
