Engaging writing with an interesting setting. Was cool to see the bullets being counted!
Thanks so much! Originally I was going to have a reload counter too, but then I remembered I have only like an hour each day to do devwork. xD
I really liked the writing, and the long poem like sections were cool.
It was a little bit linear but overall interesting game!
Thanks for the review! Glad to hear you liked the poem parts, I've gotten into verse poems recently and love playing around with the format.
The writing was good. Reminds me a lot of the 'Eaten by a Gru' game I used to play all the time! I would def try sound ambient sounds to fit the mood.
Whoa, you unlocked a core memory with that one. xD Thanks for the review!
Well written, but too linear for my liking. Usually in a text-based game I like to feel like I can do whatever I want with an extensive list of options.
That's funny you mention that, because I thought I'd snuck in a lot of options for the amount of dev time I was able to put into the project. i was wrong. xD Thanks for the review, I'll try to get even more branches in with whatever I make in Inky next!
it is very well written, would have loved to see images and sounds or something to make it feel more immersive, good job though!
Thanks! I usually leave out images and sounds from my Inky project as a stylistic choice* but I do agree it probably would have helped sell the mood better.
*aka, it never works right for me and most of my dev time would have been putting out digital fires lol
I wish I could offer more feedback but text based isn't really my thing. Though It's a well written and solid little project and I enjoyed my time with it!
Thanks! Glad you liked the writing!
