An Antikythera Lunar New Year by Jennifer Wren
This game is unlisted. Only those with the link can see it.
You are Đặng Phương Niên (Horace to a few). The world is spinning for Đặng Phương Niên, but do not be concerned. He is not unaware, as some fools may be, of the mysterious arcane nature of reality. Not only this, but another, reality turns. It is one that, while less visible, and even more incomprehensible, than the moderate world we know, is no less real. It is not only as real as this unsubtle place, but the very foundations upon which our known world sits. This is, in fact, the very adventure he had been longing for (in secret), from the very moment he learned of the adventures undertaken by his classmates, in otherworld realms connected to the caverns outside of his hometown, Archmont City [https://youtu.be/OvwC8t0bQT8]. Perhaps, jealousy is not such a bad thing after all. Perhaps, it was his jealousy that led him to this monumental and revealing, impossibly unfolding, beginning adventure.
Some IMPORTANT things to remember are here:
1. Ignore the error message in the stairwell. There is one, but it does not actually affect gameplay, nor will it do anything to your computer.
2. Some things appear in the panel titled Rooms and Objects, rather than in the main body of text,
so, look up there for changes, or else leave the room once, and come back into it.
3. You can lose health, but it is even easier to recover. I'm not sure you can die, either.
This was a project from a class on Beginning Game Design. I wrote Chapter 2, of 3 chapters.
Group 6 is me, Jennifer Bradley, Minh Anh Nguyen, and Joshua Abuoro
The idea for this story was in part inspired by another project by group 6, which was another group, at the time, in another class.
Here is a link to advertising for that other game (which was never made.)

The Blinded Archer was created by Minh Anh Nguyen,
and I used her drawing with permission in the Hidden Room.
I used two tones from https://onlinetonegenerator.com/432Hz.html

Oh, daeun, I encourage you to rate the games you like and just not play the games that are A not your genre or B not your game type. This is a narrative game with pictures, descriptions, and awesome sound effects, including the voice of my own pet cat, whose voice is beautiful. There are easy puzzles with riddles, and an old hotel to explore with hidden rooms and free gambling. You can smoke cigarettes and care for the hotel cat, there is a sunken bath, a well, a statuary and a mystery to solve (if you want to - otherwise it's Freeplay). Either way, I have gotten rave reviews from people who've played but only one star under its name. I'm not saying you have to like it, but if you don't like it, just stop playing it, instead of making an undeserved judgement. Maybe it's not for you, but it's not a one star game.
