I really liked the puzzles where you have to reorder the memories, but I feel like it takes a while to get going. It would be nice if it felt like there were more choices along the way, at the moment there's a lot of exposition to get through before you get to do anything.
Yeah, this game leans far more heavily on the "fiction" than the "interactive" part of interactive fiction. This game originally had a lot less exposition (you jumped into room puzzles a lot faster) but also a lot less content, so adding the content bloated the exposition.
If I ever rework this again (I doubt it because I've done that too many times now!) I'll think about adding more puzzle elements earlier on.
Very interesting story. I included it in my Spring Cleaning Twine Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)
Thank you for featuring my game and the Twine jam!
