Oh wow, that's a long one, thanks for checking out my game! Thanks for the compliments, and yeah the gameplay is really limited mainly because I'm not a programmer, Ink is all I can really understand! Unless I get outside help, the most I'll really do with these games is add images and sound (maybe).

As for the bug, can I have some more detail on what happened exactly? When you're selecting either of those choices, there's supposed to be a popup at the top of the screen where you type in your name, and I'm guessing the popup never showed up. Might be something with your browser, I'm not sure. I never implemented the feature before in an Ink game so I have no clue how it might break. Either way, I'm sorry that happened to you. If it helps, the story continues as normal after that point, it only decides whether or not you still get called Sergeant by the Paradisaea crew.  As for the later block, I'm not sure what happened there either but I'll check it out later.

Lastly, there are around 18k words, but roughly half of it is recycled endings with few differences between them. I was running low on time so it was done really inefficiently. So the actual word count for unique sections (before I started copy-pasting) is roughly 8-10k words. A single playthrough will be anywhere between 3k-5k words based on how much you skip and which endings you pick. I've never written novels, but I've always enjoyed writing short stories. This was my first major attempt at making something like a game using my writing, so I'm pretty proud of it.
