"not a game", March 8, 2015
by george (Seattle)

That old saw "not a game" applies for once; this is a short story with continue links. Unlike other works that use this kind of interactivity to good effect, here it's simply a paging mechanism, though the link titles do add some color. I thought the initial premise was interesting and the writing good but it devolved into a static situation with a lot of exposition and not much really going on.

Maybe I should have held on for a while or put a lower version number - am hoping to add more interactivity etc. Hopefully it will elevate it above just a novel with continue links! Thanks for the feedback though and I hope once I do have more interactivity you might give it another go.

I know, right, George! This 'game' should be a novel instead of a IF game. There is no interaction nor choice in this game. Just text, text and text. This is how Twine is occasionally misused by authors.
