Loved the limited color palette, and all of the texture in the line work and the ink washes!! The pacing of the pages + the rhythm of the poem are perfect, I got chills at the end.

The characters are so expressive despite rarely seeing faces and the backgrounds are so gorgeous. I'm in love with pages 56, 59, and 120-1 for the paneling. Also, the tension was intense (in a good way) I started reading the webcomic version and came here to buy it because I knew I couldn't wait! I really loved this.

I feel like the last couple games of yours I played have been more dialogue heavy so I didn't realize how much I've missed your descriptive writing!! The scene setting at the party was so excellent. Also I love how you describe how xianming (and shiragiku!!) moves through the world that is set against his existence - like powerful in knowing where he stands and still existing in visceral difference from people who don't understand his reality (and feeling vulnerable bcs of that)

This was really neat! I loved all the little zoom-in sections to take a look at the details.

I had the same problem initially but fixed it by zooming way out on the window. Try viewing it at 30% - that allowed me to see the navigation buttons on the bottom of the page.

ty michael!!

Oof thank you for letting me know, I'll try to fix it asap. In the meantime, if you'd like, you can bypass the bug by keeping the life support off until after you've checked Jules's locker.

Yeah the end of the world is hard to spin in a happy way, but I like to think there's a certain brand of hope in there somewhere.

Also thanks! I'm so used to working in Twine that I don't know what to do with myself when I can't have multiple dialogue options lol.

I've only played thru once so far, but wow this made me tear up. Loved how the emotional connections with the other characters were built in such a brief span of time :'^)

hehe thank you :^)

Chicken Farmer is a piece of experiential short interactive fiction about perception and assumptions people make about others.

You play as the child of a weaver, on your way to the weekly market. Every week you travel the same way, see the same sights, but there are still things (and people) that pique your interest.

It's free to play. Feedback appreciated!

thanks so much!

For me, nothing happening and having no satisfying conclusion/getting no answers is the purpose of the story! I wanted to explore the ways that people assume things about others, especially regarding gender, based on observations. But in the end, appearances really only tell us so much, as they do with the player character, and because they never interact with the chicken farmer, the player character is doomed to be wrong about who they think the chicken farmer is, if that makes any sense? My intention was for the arc of the story to be the player character realizing how little they truly know, and how, perhaps, any nosiness into the life of this stranger was more voyeuristic than they thought. Of course, you're free to read it anyway you like! (Plus, I admit it's super vague intentionally, but maybe not successfully lol)

Thanks for playing and taking time to comment!
