I really liked the game and the way it goed but i think you can improve the game by adding like...A map,thirsty bar or hunger bar...Something like that.Anyway i liked the game and i hope that the second part comes soon enough!!!

Comment Caelifer

Wow, all these great and encouraging comments really makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Thank you everyone!

I really am making these games more of to create an outlet for writing rather than focusing on the game aspect itself. I know it's a bit dark and serious, that's why I am making a bit more fun and lighter gamebook story. Again it'll be a survival, but it'll lean more on action comedy haha.

I hope you guys will try it out too!

Some varied commentary:

* The writing style is, in my mind, perfect. It immerses you into feeling that the character is indeed you, and even though you never learn why you're in the predicament you're in, the journey to get out of it proves to be quite an engaging one in and of itself.
* This gamebook does commit what is generally considered a boo boo: it almost always only greets you with two choices. Fortunately, I had fun in anticipating whether I made the correct decision or not. It's like choosing between door #1 or door #2 on a game show, except that this is a matter of life and death. I also appreciated that you may have to revisit old choices to progress.
* I'd argue that this is more of a survival horror game than a mystery (not that that's a problem!).
* This is a 15-minuteish experience. Fortunately, it is a rather immersive 15-minute experience.
* I rank releases that are only, say, one chapter as if they are full games: I review by the standard of this being a full release, and not just one chapter. As a chapter, I'd happily give this 4-stars. As a full game... the writing style is engaging enough to be worth at least a 3, bite-sized length or not.

Review Lahoya

Exciting and great work! Especially the story.

Review GJ

Really fantastic work! I love, how you used exactly the right amount of text- not too much and not too less.
And the pictures are just great! The suit perfectly to the scenarios and increase the atmosphere of the game.
After all, 5/5.

And just like Wallflower, I'd totally buy one of you books. :)

Comment Caelifer

Thank you Wallflower, I'm so glad you liked the game. I usually write in the third-person so this is still kind of new to me. I hope it wasn't too difficult for you.

I'm working on the next installment, I hope you'll play it too!

Review Wallflower

Love love LOVE it! The story is so powerful, the character feels so real, and it is challenging enough to keep me on my toes. I'm truly satisfied. Well done sir.

PS: If you ever write a book or a novel, I'm a sure buyer.
