THE END!

You completed a version of "The Scaredy Cat" ending...

A well told little story! 
What monsters those weird men in the van are!

Cool to see an interactive story! Could use a spot of editing--and maybe the scaredy cat ending could end in doom? I'd love to see a scarier ending there for sure!

Developer

Perhaps a doom ending can be added in the a future retelling 🤔

Had a lot of fun with this experience xD Also appreciate dark theme wherever I can get it and the obligatory grombit reference was great!

Interesting Idea, it let's you dive into history.

I got the "Brave" and the "Scardey Cat" endings ⊆ಠ ω ಠ⊇

Interesting story and I like seeing more visual novel/interactive novel games in game jams, ₍ᐢ・⚇・ᐢ₎ good job!

Fun story and the text transitions were really well done! I wish there was sound though

Developer(+1)

I was sadly unable to find if Ink had an option for sound... 😔
Perhaps in the next rendition it will have the sound it deserves! 😉

Pretty cool concept. The story was very well written.

Awesome, nice little story, would be good to have different coloured text slightly so you can see who said what

Developer

Thank you 🙏
I will see if I can add that in after the jam

Amazing. I will say I feel like this made even less sense after the plot twist 🙃

It's fun though! I enjoyed the story, and liked that detail of being able to bail-out at any time with just a single dialog choice. Really added to the tension of meeting THE ANIMAL MAN

Thank you for taking a drive through my story!

I ran out of time to refine everything 🤷‍♂️
That is what I get for starting on the last day 😅
