This was SUCH a joy to experience. We read it all together and did some different voices for Virgil and Dante (and the Sourceres! xD) and had a blast!!
You really really nailed the comedy with this story. The modern esque take on dante's inferno really works, and "Tom" just makes it 10 times better!
I was especially impressed because I'm usually not too fond of twine stories since they don't feel interactive enough, but you really made it work by adding the periodic images!!
The only thing that felt a bit off to me is the audio. I feel like it needed to be a bit more consistent... the sound effects seemed a little jarring because there was no pattern to their appearance. I think the game might maybe benefit from either more sound design, with consistent sounds that really help bring the story to life... or maybe no sound design but instead music and maybe voice acting!
Aside from that, really enjoyed this game! And extra bonus points for the incorperation of the PIZZA LOVERS THEME!though I was a little surprised not to see Ketchup on Pizza in hell...Awesome job with this! Keep up the good work!

Sasha thank you for the kind words!! We all appreciated them!
Honestly we learned twine in these 5 days and audio was the thing that gave us so many problems so there is for sure room for improvements
damn my brain didn't even think about the possibility of people putting ketchup on their pizza
Thank you again for the great feedback and thank you for playing!
