If you have implemented the modifier, how have you done so?
I used all modifiers which got 3+ community votes

This was a neat, humorous way to implement all the modifiers!

I admit I've always been kinda mixed on text adventures and CYOA books in general, but I enjoyed this one for a little while. I got through 4 different endings before deciding to stop. It wasn't so much because I was bored as much as I still have half the entries to rate lol.

Also good god having all that text and no H is impressive!

Good work!

Thanks a lot! I wrote out the first draft and was so proud for not using any "h"s... ctrl-f then revealed there were like 8 that had snuck in ahahaThe modifier "bad translation" really carried its weight ;P

What  a cool text adventure! I think this is the first game I've seen  made in Ink, so it was really interesting and worked really well for making a text adventure playable on itch!

I really loved how the story featured many, *many* references 😅 I think my favourite part of this jam has been to go through the games and see a modifier, and then be like "Hey, I get that reference!"  This game just kept on hitting me with greats and it's really nice to have that feeling.

I'm usually not a massive fan of CYOA type games since I really like seeing every part a story has to offer and get FOMO 😅 Though this story was short enough where I could just run through it loads and try  and get to every single part!

Feel bad   for making VoteBot so robust:  can't wait for part 2: VoteBot's Revenge! 😛

Ahh thanks!!
I was concerned making this since players have to be familiar with the modifiers, otherwise the story is just madness. Glad to hear you enjoyed it!
VoteBot is love, VoteBot is life

that was an interesting bit of ergodic literature

What an ambitious mess! Typos, forcefully cramming the themes into the script, I felt like the gameplay was to simply understand the drivel and allow the adventure to not just end because you chose too nonsensically. But I was so happy to see a game made in Inkle that was so bad that it's good! Thanks for making it!

I loved how you implemented the modifiers. It was fun to play!

That was neat and surprisingly meta, which I hadn't been expecting. It's definitely a slower burn humour than I was expecting, too; it wasn't rolling on the floor hilarious but more of a clicking through with a thin smirk hilarious.

Thanks! :D
