Very creative use of other media…, January 28, 2016Glitch is a cyberpunk take that relies not only on player choices and gameplay, but external media cues as well. The game itself is fairly straightforward, but provides enough interesting paths to keep it moving.
I’d like to see this, but the link isn’t working at this time (28 January 2016).
Short story, nice style, no real gameplay…, May 31, 2015This is an enjoyable piece of short fantasy fiction that doesn’t offer a while lot in the way of player choice. In any regard, the story has a nice look and feel and the writing is solid.
An A+ for working within constraints…, May 18, 2015While I gave this game a 2/5 within the world of Interactive Fiction games, I would most surely give it a 5/5 based on the fact that it was written to satisfy a competition rule for writing an IF game in under 1,000 words (http://twinery.org/forum/discussion/2778/super-sudden-surprise-challenge-harlowe-1-000).
With this being said, the writing is solid and pays homage to the pulp fiction genre. The situation is fun and intriguing and presents the player with clear choices and subsequent endings. (Not to mention that I’m one of characters in the story.)
This is a very well-structured, but short experiment that is both enjoyable and humorous.
A great example of what Twine can be for IF…, May 13, 2015I agree with much of @MathBrush’s statements. This is a wonderfully written piece that ends too quickly in a few cases.
The descriptive language for each locale is vibrant and promotes suspension of disbelief. The use of subtle visual effects makes some of the passages seem more real than most IF games accomplish.
Creating a game in this genre that really allows a player to become immersed in the world is difficult, but "To Spring Open" does the job very well.
Very inventive and engaging…, May 6, 2015Hana Feels is a very inventive approach and a keen graphical style. The illustrations are wonderful and make the story/conversation quite engaging. This is a fresh take on IF and I became immersed immediately.
I tried to play at:

…but it’s a 404.
It appears like this game is not currently hosted anywhere.
Inventive…, May 1, 2015Very inventive way to move a reader through the story. I enjoyed this one quite a bit.
