GAME.

Super cool! I really enjoyed this as it brought back a lot of memories reading "Choose Your Own Adventure" books as a kid! Well done!

This was a very clever game. I realy enjoyed the binary twist in the text adventure. I could absolutely see this idea being fleshed out and expanded to a bigger game.

It ALMOST reminds me of the mobile game "Reigns" and I think you could tell some really interesting stories with this mechanic

It's amazing how much atmosphere you've squeezed out of 3-word screens. I realize you were under heavy time constraints, but I just wonder how much more it would be with the right background music and maybe just a few sound effects (door opening, gun shot, 'gates' opening (you know the one I'm talking about!))

I think I got most of the endings. Not totally sure.

It was fun to explore your game :)

PS. I uploaded a video of my playthrough

Quite fun to "explore"! Does reaching "dream" count as a win? If so I think I found 3 ways to get there.

Reminds me a lot of Ord. so I can't give very high innovation marks

I won, but I'm not sure how. The simplicity works against it as much as for it.

I really like this concept, a story but with one word at a time, I was so bad at it and kept dying but I still had a great time :) great job!

I lucked into winning on my first try :D But then I went back and saw some ways to fail. I really like how it tells a story with so few words.

The minimalist story telling was well done and it created a nice pace for the game. I like the concept, it would be cool to see what you could do with it with a full 48 hours to work with.

Simple and very effective game. I was very surprised as I wasn't expecting such a 'dark' story, that works perfectly with the presentation and simplicity of the interface. And, as others said, this is the perfect scope for a jam game.

Really good work!

Appreciated the simplicity in the game.

It was an interesting experience how evocative the single word questions and choices were. The game felt satisfying to play. There was some really nice polish to it and it worked well to its minimalism. Despite the short amount of time you had to work on it, it didn't feel unfinished and I think your scoping is really solid on what you can accomplish and still make it feel good and finished.

It'd be nice to scroll up to see the previous choices you made!

This was surprisingly effective at painting a mental picture of the scene the more you played - like a visual novel or a choose-your-own-adventure condensed and simplified into its purest form.

This could go a really long way. I'd love to see it expanded, and purely in a "content" sense - the total simplicity of the "one-word prompt, two one-word options" format, in my opinion, is a huge strength.

As the current entry goes, and understandably so, it was fairly bare bones, and found a couple of the "looping" chains of commands made a little less sense once you'd already been through them once, particularly eg. the lights in the room where you could retest them and they were still broken (unless I missed something where it started working - but I never found that if true).

The presentation in this game is absolutely perfect. I love how much story you're able to cram into such a simple interface. There is so much potential here and you should absolutely build on that, because this could be a truly great game.

Wow. Really cool game. I love the simple yet super effective SFX when clicking on any option and then when showing the result, it's rhythmic and it makes you get in the mood. Also, quite nice game design with some "circles" that makes you get back on track.

The only thing I'll point out is the lack of a better hover statement. I get the one for choosing either option, but then in the "result" screen it was confusing at first were to click. Great entry.

Really cool game! Just seeing a single word to describe your situation and your choices is really evocative and makes you imagine what's going on. It left me wanting more, I wish there was a bit more story to fill that mystery out (though maybe I just didn't find it). I found the sound annoying though... Would have been nice if the sound was more minimalist, like pleasing ASMR clicks when you click.

Simple and wonderful idea. I enjoyed this story game :)

I wrote a huge piece of feedback on this game and then I was like 'ooh I should click add to favourites' and I did and then it navigated me away from the feedback page and I lost the whole thing I had written :(

Anyway, to paraphrase!:

Really great - loved it - a hard design challenge that you really rose to. Sparked my imagination, I could see it all in my mind! The light touch of sound effects and red text really helped add depth.

I'm inspired! I wish there was a tool to make games exactly like this one: You can make exploration/narrative games, but told in individual screens that just give you 1) One word to describe your current situation, 2) Two words to describe your available choices, 3) One word to describe the outcome. Ingenious!

In the words of Kevin from The Office, "Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick?" I was not expecting the dark turn that this game almost immediately took. I'm not sure how you managed to tell a story with so few words, but it worked! Very simplistic, yet impactful. Good job!
