What the Bus?by Emery Joyce profile2020 Surreal, Humor Twine

This game is one of those wildly-branching many-ending Twine games, kind of like For the Cats from last year (or was that Ink?)
The main gameplay is choosing some form of transit, having it fail, then switching to another.
I’m kind of torn on this. One the one hand, I think part of this game demonstrates my thesis I’ve had for a while that ‘simulating something boring/frustrating is usually itself boring or frustrating’. On the other hand, it has some pretty funny parts. Both of my two endings were genuinely funny. And it’s organized in a way that allows fun replay with repeating the same segment over and over.
