I liked it a lot! Music was pretty great, and I like what you did with the atmosphere. Bonus pts for using Ink! :D I think it broke at the end, just a black screen, which didn't really feel like an ending. I also would have liked sometimes to speed up the text when I was able to read faster than it was typing, and yet a couple of times it faded out to the next screen before I was fully ready. I also like how you included non-fiction elements in there, very cool.

Thank you for the feedback. I did add a “press space to finish the text” option but it was right at the end and there’s no indication that you can do it unless you try out of frustration!
You can also scroll back to if the text flows off. I think made the scrollbar colors too indistinct though, since you missed it.
I agree re the ending. I didn’t have time to do the proper animation for the endings so I went for the Black Adder goes Forth ending. It felr good to me, but then I watch Blackmagic UK play on his stream and he had the exact same experience as you. Good learning in that one for sure.
I’m glad you liked the factual stuff thrown in. As I was making the game I thought the format might be an interesting teaching tool. I threw those in to experiment. There’s actually about 15k words of Wikipedia content in there, but I only exposed the very first interaction in this version.
Thank you for playing. Thank you for the feedback. Most importantly, thank you for the inspiration since it was you who suggested someone do an IF game. I learned loads!
