A very good interacticve game. Lots of different decisions that ended most or less the same.
The idea of a scoreboard is quite unnecessary, beacuse you can simply skip the reading and keep pressing continue and random decisions that leads to points quickly. I suggest that the points are added only at the end, so once the game is started again, the points erase and starts over.

Well most of the points do erase, however if the player made a choice that had an exceptionally good outcome, like 10 percent of those points are stored for the next play through. So really, yeah, random clicking over and over for a long period of time can build up points, but you're a dork if you do that. Plus I needed to learn how to use the scoreboard, this game was my teacher. Thanks!
I have a fond liking of text based adventures because they are partly responsible for my first experiences of learning how to read and comprehend as a child.
It's unfortunate that the younger generations cannot appreciate these as much. It takes an active imagination to truly enjoy these quests and get the most out of them.
Thank you for resurrecting a lost genre, and I certainly hope to see more of these from you in the future.
Perhaps a longer game with more twists and turns...
Hyptosis responds:
Thanks! As a kid I would read these books that let you pick paths that lead to specific pages. I loved them. ^_^
Ain't we just. Excellent game, beautiful format.
Reminds me of my old paper-and-pen days. I loved the way small decisions could end up with big consequences or rewards. Overall, an very interesting and fun game, although definitely a bit on the text heavy side. Perhaps for the next one there could be just a small fraction less, and maybe more events. Keep up the good work!
Like the music. Like the story. There probably should be less cruelty in the text. Like the initial idea of "all kinds of goodies", don't quite like the idea of tracking any stats other than health conditions in such a game. You also could let the heroes have their equipment slotted just for the decorative purpose. Love the idea of putting a cat here.
