Alright, so for pretty much any game in which I can put my own name into it I always name my character "Bishop" for the sole reason that it's that one chess piece that everyone knows how it works but isn't very memorable. So I put the name "Bishop" into this game and by God/Stan/Faith/whatever did it feel oddly symbolic. I did all the endings and during most of the main ones I felt that no matter what I was really fulfilling my purpose as "Bishop" (though it might have just been the magical corn-brain drugs I took). The game was amazing and putting it all together felt rewarding. Plus I had a weird name connection with it so that's cool. Best game I've played in a while, kudos!
Reviews for "God's Assassin"
I'm not a big fan of games that require a lot of reading because I find it boring. The choose your own adventure genre can be interesting and leads to different endings, but large blocks of text is off putting. I think 'A Duck Has An Adventure' is a perfect example of how a story can be told in a simple way but still be interactive. It would sacrifice the complexity of the story so it's just a thought.
The concepts were worth reading so I'll give you 3 stars.

"A Duck Has an Adventure" is awesome! I love that game. I agree that it's better -- I was overcome with jealousy when I first played it.
My last game had even more text between options, haha. This IS the result of me trying to cut it down to be as short as possible. I think I should just do novels...
This game totally caught me off guard. When i started i believed it to be some kind of game where you choose the correct answer to reach the goal. After the first several questions i tought it was just a stupid game only made to waste your time... But once the story progressed.. I couldn't help but get all the endings, it shocked me how deep some of the dialogs were, how profound such a simple game could be. You sure took a risk by making this but you made an astonishing work. On my way to read author's bio!

Thank you! And please feel free to pass on any feedback on the bio!
Named my character Lucifer for the luls.
Absolutely fantastic! The writing was hilarious (had me laughing out loud often!) and poignant at the same time! The first ending I got was straight up denying Stan at the beginning (trust no Satan lookin dudes, rule #71 of survival in these games). It was a little wonky with the backstory sometimes, but I didn't mind it. Amazing work and I can't wait to see more!

Wow, thank you!
