I played through this game once and then backed up a choice or two to try a couple more endings.
You're in a pond. Why? Because your one true love has been cursed, of course! He's been turned into a frog!
Unfortunately, it gets a bit more complicated than that. Over the next few screens of gameplay, you have the chance to try to track down what really happened to your love.
Overall, I found this charming (pun intended). The idea could have stood up to more depth. I think there was possibly a bug with frog color, as I was told a certain frog was eaten then got an ending involving that same frog, but I might have misread it. The writing was the highlight in this game for me.
One True Love is a short fairy-tale Twine game, where you have just one little task to complete the story: after defeating your evil stepmother and rescuing the land, it is time for you to break the curse of your one true love. Turned into a frog, you will need to find the correct amphibian and kiss it before it’s too late !
The prose is pretty humorous, overall, poking fun at those fairly-tale tropes (the curses and the trials and such). This was a fun short time, trying to go through all the different options, kissing all the different frogs. There are, I think, 3 endings to find: kissing the right frog, kissing the wrong frog, and giving up because who’s got time for that! But, be warned: the correct frog is never the same…
It was sweet and entertaining!
