A World Without Stars by CptSteam

made by CptSteam for LD28 (COMPO)

A World Without Stars is a choose-your-own adventure story, where you only get one choice - and its the important choice a man can make. A piece of scifi Interactive Fiction, this short story takes a few minutes to read, but resonates for eons.

This was interesting. Normally, a CYOA where you only get one choice would be ridiculed, but in this case with the theme, it's not that bad, haha.

Was a great story though. :)

Nicely written! I included this game in my Ludum Dare 28 compilation video series if you'd like to check it out! http://youtu.be/CxUIxKQApqc

Nicely told story and a good idea. But I have the feeling that there should be more alternatives to choose from. Is it not possible to open the other hibernation pod? Or use the oxygen supply of the escape pod for the whole ship?

You are a good writer. I’m glad you were able to feature your writing with this theme. Hope to see more.

Space is always fun.
It's a fact.

Eons though?
