A long, obscurely written French Twine game with minimal choices, February 28, 2020

This is game that is hard for me to review, in many ways.

First, it was difficult to play. It is in French, not my native language, but it also is written in a very allegorical and elusive style. It is very long, with at least four chapters each with a dozen or more pieces. I encountered a bug while looking at my objects list at the very end of Ch. 3 where the link to return to the main story disappeared.

Also, it's hard to say what score to assign. According to my rubric, I give 1 point for being polished (it is), 1 point for being descriptive (which it also is), and 1 point for interactivity (despite the fact it's linear, giving me a choice to see the objects page or not was in fact useful). But I didn't feel an emotional impact as the scenes were too disconnected, and I was too exhausted by it to play again. I believe that many of these problems would be mitigated for a Francophone.

Thank you for playing and reviewing!
To add some context to your comment about the game, most of the pages are randomly positioned throughout the story. Basically, each chapter has a set of fixed scenes and other scenes that are generic and could have ended up in any other chapter. I unfortunately noticed afterwards that this experimental element does not show up in any way in the game when played so it gives this weird impression of reading a deconstructed cryptic story (which it kind of is to be honest).
