With a game that uses shrub storytelling is told through the means of shrub storytelling and the player being immersed through the computer screen provides interesting gameplay to occur. Each choice are clear and strongly show the effects when it comes to the player deciding whether or not they chat with the online communities. It was also fascinating to see how crucial each choice becomes when it affects the players anxiety. Overall, the color scheme, sprites and storytelling makes this experience very memorable.
The game tells a nice stories through the choices. The choices and dialogue seemed like they were based on personal experience and I thought that was a nice touch. The game was pretty cool, good use of animation too.
The story is told through the means of shrub storytelling. I think it is effective in this as I keep replaying to see how the other branches would alter the story.
The choices felt empowering and while it may feel like the player has to choose between such small options, I felt that the increased effort needed to select one was relatable in a way.
Overall, big fan of what you made and I'm interested to see how the paths I did not choose would end up.
1. story told thru comptuer screen and dialogue box/narrator explaining the scenario each time a chouce was made
2. choice was clearly defined; choose whether to engage with online communities or not. negative choices also clearly understood
3. maybe make the negative choices less obvious/subtle, just to make players realize later into the game that theyve been giving in to anxiety the whole time. overall good tho!
i loved this game!!! i thought you told the story of streaming/browsing super well, combined with the art in each screen that made it feel even MORE real!! your animations & art were so so so cool i loved them omg <33 choice felt very significant as well (i chose the streamer route) and choosing to not quit or to chat with a viewer and everything really changed the outcomes significantly, much like real life! the only feedback i'd give is to consider changing the avatar when you get into the computer into a cursor rather than picking a cursor up everytime
The game focuses on "exploring" different options through using the "shrub" method of choice. I think the stress and anxiety that someone might have with both streaming or even participating in a chat. My only gripe was that I had to keep moving to the cursor before picking my choice; I felt it options were explained well enough when entering the room. Otherwise, great job!

https://ayolland.itch.io/borksy -> has a bitsy hack where you are able to do this! (avatar by room)
cool about the karma. I tried being both a bad and good king to see what happens for both
cool! I like how you are in a computer and that you must actually get the cursor first
Interesting subject! Do you stream yourself?
