A Crown of Ash (Neo-Twiny Jam 2023)

Unlike other Neo Twiny Jam games I've played, this one is openly unfinished a taste of a later game to come.

Therefore, it just stops in its tracks, a less satisfying resolution than a full story.

But it holds out promise for a greater game. There is already tension here; you are a young noble, unhappy with your parents, and bound to marry a prince you do not love, while other potential romantic partners are in the air.

Looks like it could be great when finished, but the current amount is just a dip in the water.

As a short prototype, this piece manages to tell just enough to hook the reader, and very little that it leaves you wanting more. From is ominous title to the tense descriptions, the writing manages to leave you with too many questions, and wanting to find those answers. It would be interesting to see where the author takes the story…
Also Armstead is a great name for a knight!
