Editorial Reviews

The Breakfast Review
There are a couple of interesting ideas going into this, but I find the execution a little ... I don't know. Sketchy? A lot of the text feels more like outline notes than story prose. Things are stated in a very bland, matter-of-fact manner, as though the author were quickly putting down thoughts on what the scene should contain without considering the way the sentences flow into each other to form a scene ... or, for that matter, how one scene should lead into the next.

A strongly branching scifi story about a powerful device, May 9, 2017

by MathBrush

This is a very branching game, with, I assume, 10 endings (I've seen 4 or 5).

It has extensive styling of the words and background, which was a little grating but much better than the standard style.

This was a mostly branching game, meaning that most choices end up sending you on different paths. However, a lot of the paths are just quick bad endings, so there is one main correct path.

The story and writing were okay, I would say above average for unedited Internet stories. There was some profanity, but not a lot.

Overall, it could be a fun short sci fi game for a lunch break.

Less-linear Twine Games by Nathaniel
Twine (or other hypertext) games where your decisions make a significant difference, and the story changes significantly based on them (not just resulting in your death).
