Through Death New Life is my first attempt at IF (it shows, I think) and is written in Ink. It’s the intro to an choice based short story and it’s actually less than I planned but all that I managed until the deadline. I’m glad for any feedback that would help me to improve. Mainly:
- Does the intro work?
- Is it interesting at all and what can I do to make it so?
- What would you expect from the story after that intro?

Hmm... this one is tricky. You wake up in the middle in the woods. A Guardian of life, with senses which extend throughout the forest and the power to manipulate nature and build a physical form for yourselves. Suddenly, you see intruders approaching. You get a choice, then the introductory segment ends.
Unless I ran into a bug, the introduction ends with a blank. This is a pretty short introduction, which left me plenty curious about the world and the setting. Actually, being able to read a blurb or something would be nice, and I think the game could tell us more about this place we are in. Some degree of mystery is good to keep my interest up, but at times, I was also a little confused about what was happening.
I'm curious to know what comes next, but I think after the intro, the game could also take the opportunity to flesh out the lore and setting of this world. It seems that there could be some really interesting stuff under the hood. Let us know more about it.
