Absolutely wonderful writing! Really kept me captivated during the whole experience

Hi there, I got two different endings. Nice entry. You made me discover Twine. Out of curiosity, does it allow adding content with the dialogue? I must admit I had hard time staying in the game and reading 'til the end without graphic and sound content.

@geeni thank you so much for playing!

@flowerfield-games hi! I understand that text-based games are not everyone's cup of tea, so I really appreciate you giving it a try <3

yes, you can add graphic and audio, but I wanted to create a solely text-based game partly as a challenge for myself and partly because of limited time :) it is also my first Twine game, so I spent the majority of my time learning about variables and actually writing haha.

p.s. there is actually one graphic piece in the game that you can see if you reach the "true" ending!

really intresting game though i kept failing the test haha

I got all endings, starting with the bed one! Nice writing job, a little ambient music might be a plus

Short but self-contained story. Laughed a couple of times, read a poem mentioned (ok, half a poem, it's long), got all endings, enjoyed every one of them! Simple, but nice entry!

@pierre-marie thank you for playing! i definitely want to add some music and extra effects later :)

@nozomu57 thank you! the poem is long indeed :D

Cool. Did not expect the ending. Took quite a few rounds and some brute forcing to pass the test. You hid some of the answers well. The system should have just given me a pass since the study material was barely readable :)

Cool game with interesting interaction with certain words instead of clicking buttons only. But if it will be better with animations and some background graphs? Any way it is a great work

The interpretation and application of the theme are spot on. The game concept design is great, the art style is unique, and it’s a very innovative game. Five-star praise! We look forward to your coming to play our games, thank you

The image that goes along with the fourth ending was nicely evocative! I enjoyed trying out the different endings, and the unstated implications. Nice work!

The plot is pretty interesting! For a text-based game, adding some UI sound effects and background music would definitely make it more engaging for me. That said, the story itself is really great.

@kobato-games thank you for playing <3
haha they are hidden like that so that you could grasp the whole of a story if you aim to pass the test :)
the system is a bit broken, you're right :D

@averycheun9 thank you! I believe it could be better with some graphics, but it was some kind of a challenge for myself to make a game without them :) but i'll probably add some music and effects to a post-jam version!

@cat-value thanks! i wonder what art style you're talking about as 99% of the game is plain text :)

@aquaaa thank you! I definitely want to add some extra effects to a post jam version. It was my first time making a game with Twine, so I didn;t have enough time to work on that :)

@aster24 thank you so much for playing! i'm happy that you got to the "true" ending :)

never played text only games but this thing is fun for sure!

@kureca thank you :)

Nice text based game, good writing and endings. Definitely wish it had some audio to set the atmosphere, but was enjoyable as is.

I managed to get 3 endings, but I couldn't to get all 5/5 questions correct even with brute force (probably missing the partner one).

Overall some decent writing in there, manages to build a world with only a few sentences. I think it needs a little bit of imagery, if you had simple a drawing of the room and you would click on each element to interact with it instead of choosing a text option it would elevate the game. Adding some ambient music would also have been a low-hanging fruit to set the vibes.

Nice simple only text game. Good job!

love text games! I would like to prefer sleeping for the day zzzzzzzzzzzz(～﹃～)~zZ

Through being dyslexic I still enjoyed the writing of this cute little game, If there was audio it would be like a cherry on top. Overall Good job :)

Written very nicely! Good game.

@thelasttankmage thank you for playing! i would love to look into music and sound effects in the postjam version :)

@irkar thank you for playing!

@kkkyia totally agree! thank you <3

@gecko64 i am happy you enjoyed it! audio is planned for the postjam version :)

@venomousmouse thank you ^^

@exofrenon thank you! the partner hint (spoiler here) can be found at the back of the photo: it might be a bit trickier to find :)
i thought about adding some imagery but decided to limit it as much as possible (there is one art piece you get with the "true" ending only), as my challenge for this LD was to create a text game. clicking on the elements is probably another genre :) but ambient music is a great idea!

Cute! Neat interpretation of "signal" and a futurustic training twist around it. I got all four endings -- the three "bad" ones reminded me a bit of one of the "bad" endings of Violet by Jeremy Freese, where you try to force the narrator/game to break down (:

@aurel300 thank you for trying my game out! ohh I haven't heard about Violet! sounds like it's worth playing :)

Loved this. One of the few games I've played this jam where I really don't have any notes. You had a vision and pulled it off wonderfully. I got the true ending and really enjoyed the story, great work!

I agree with other testers. Neat idea. I had fun playing and exploring the game. With some audio and better visuals, you would bring this on another level. Definitly a good entry for this LD.

@chaseplays thank youu! i am happy that you enjoyed it :)
@lollister thank you for playing! i'll definitely look into adding some music or sound effects :)

Intresting and an intriguing game, i liked the simplicity and storytelling, I was able to get all the endings or a hope so.. im want to know so bad whats happening after the ending!!

good in terms of writing but for sure would be nice to have some visuals and sounds. great job anyway!

The text quest wasn't what I expected.

@cesta thank you for playing! If you got 4 endings, then you have all of them :)

@scottyartt thanks! I definitely have some audio planned to be added :)

@allax I wonder what you expected :)

Nice and straightforward text adventure! I managed to get all four endings without too much difficulty, felt like the options provided were interesting and I was able to figure out what was needed to accomplish the different endings. I did enjoy some of the humor in the writing. Nice job!

Pretty cool idea! I got one ending and will return to the game later. I wish it had some ambient music at least.
