Parley!

This is a Neo Twiny Jam game written in 500 words or less.

This is a kind of a gauntlet-style game, where a wrong choice can end the game in an instant.

The concept is intriguing: negotiating with an invading force much stronger than yours, with your only options being death or appeasement.

But it's slight obnoxious to play, as it simultaneously types out text a little bit slowly and also urges you to click as fast as you can. Kind of like having an escort quest in a game where their speed doesn't match yours and you constantly have to go in spurts to keep up.

Unprepared and inexperienced, yet tasked to engage in negotiations with a man who seems to have all and requires little from you.
You will need a few tries to find the right combination of choices to appease the Viper. Some are hidden at first… Choose the wrong one, and die(?). Take too long, and die(?)…

I really liked how the game was constructed. It was fun (in a bit of a stressful way). Though the ending page arrived just a second or two too early…
