Back for Seconds by RobotParking
Bizarro-punk Twine game. Heavily inspired by Porpentine, OH NO PROBLEMS and others. Borrowed liberally from Nicole Shukin's book Animal Capital. Specifically her assertion that the term "rendering" as both mimesis and the act of boiling animal remains to have another "pass" through the market is an apt rubric through which we can examine the ways capitalism extends itself. Players will need to "go back for seconds" 10 times before the game "ends."
This is also my first time working with Twine. Hope you enjoy it, but if you don't, whatever.

welp.
awesome/5
It took me a few minutes to kind of get into the swing of your writing style - it's sharp and abrasive and hyper. Pretty awesome.
It's just that-
What is this I don't even-
Everything about this is wrong... but in such a right way. The colours are awful... but are a perfect choice for this piece of poetry.
Your writing is immense. Once you push through the first impressions it really, really grips you something fierce.
I'm in love.
It's awful. RobotParking: YOU'RE awful. I kinda like it.
But yeah, the colors hurt the eyes :D
I enjoyed it though. Keep up the good work!
I didn't like the background color, it kinda burned my eyes.
One of the more interesting and different entries in this LD. :D
I definitely see Porpentine influence there.
@madk: Your comment made me laugh.
I could have lived without the more disgusting bits, but that's a taste thing (oh gods, Chris, don't think about "taste" in this context) and not related to the quality of your work. Very well written and coded.
Another problem with that is that there are so many slang-like expression.. Since English is not my native language, i ended with the translator opened in another tab to understand what's going on.. And the crazy and confusing storyline didn't help at all. Sorry to be so negative, this was my experience.
Oh, but a storygame kind of game is very original, that's a positive fact!
<3 Porpentine (I admit, I was very dismissive of interactive fiction until I read Propentine)
I love how coarse this is and how it forces you to be such an offensive character. Well written and a unique experience.
The pink was a bit hurty after a while, and when I looked away everything looked green *o*
but it fit well with the abusiveness of the game itself.
Good length and sweet interpretation of the theme!
Cute game, one of the more enjoyable twine games I played. Thing is, twine games tend to tell a story , and the coices you make during that story are generally irrelevant for it's outcome. Once we find a way to fix this, it's perfect! ;)
I'm not sure what just happened. I'm not sure whether I liked it or not. I don't think I'll be going back for seconds this time around.
But this was good. Thank you.
