Short surreal game with religious imagery using a custom choice engine, December 1, 2025

This is another game by tzbits using a custom javascript framework. This one uses choice-based links rather than parser verbs.

You stand on rocky terrain near an angel and a woman named Rebecca. They are trying to tell you something, but it's difficult for your character to get the message at first. There are some twists as the game goes on, but it's fairly short, as makes sense for a speed-IF.

The choice-based links all resemble parser commands, like X ANGEL or just NORTH or SOUTH, which I thought was interesting given the other verb-based framework. Maybe they're similar under the skin, like Robin Johnson's versificator.

Like the protagonist, I had a little difficulty grasping what was going on; I could think of 2 or 3 scenarios that would fit what was going on, but I couldn't tell which. But maybe the ambiguity is the point!
