Anything that is code related doesn't count.
So anything in ( ) <- won't for us, but might appear in the Twine stats :L
I would recommend getting all the story text in a side file and use a separate word counter for that :)
Thank you! Yeah, Twine said I had 540 words already, but when I pasted all the story text into Notepad++ it said I have only 197.
Pretty stressful!
Code heavy entry... Good luck!
...very janky entry :P
