Smile. There you go; that's easy. Now go and get him!
A short game written for the Neo Tiny Jam, and since updated. Never forget what you know.
Entrant - REALLY BAD IF
In this game, made for Neo Twiny Jam and the Intentionally Bad IF jam, you play as what seems to be a woman obsessed with a man, with stream of consciousness thoughts flying around the screen as events progress to the breaking point.
The main innovation here (and I believe this was meant to be intentionally bad, given where the game was entered) is having the text and links be haphazard: some words tilted, others flickering, posting sentences out of order, links slowly fading in, etc.
The words are disjointed and hard to follow at times, which gives the effect of showing obsession.
My usual scoring system doesn't work too well here. On the one hand, the author has achieved his goals of being obtuse and intentionally bad, and has put a lot of work into it in a polished way. On the other hand, I believe others may not enjoy playing for the exact same reasons.
So, I will put a 2 here on the 'official' score, but a 4.5/5 for the author for the work put into this game.
Method in My Madness is a short experimental Twine piece about a borderline-mad person’s obsession over a man. Through stylized text, unfinished sentences, and hidden choices, you get a cool visual sense of the broken-like thoughts bouncing in one’s mind. There are two endings, leading to blank screens.
It seems more like a proof of concept/prototype than a fully realised piece. I think it would need just a bit more fleshing out.
