Hi Norbez
Thanks so much for playing!
I guess I was trying to force the artificial nature of a game onto something as complex as life which isn't quite as simple as a bunch of dualistic choices. Hence it being the lie that you pick to really start playing, it is a lie after all.
Hopefully it's a bit funny and a bit not funny.
As to the no hope, that's a good point, there isn't really a way to win the "game" - I'll definitely think about putting some more hope in my next Twine!
Thanks again, now I'm off to check out your entry to the Jam!
