Here's a bit of background on this entry (from the author):

Fantasy Opera: The Theater of Memory is an interactive fiction game, originally released last April through the Spring Thing Festival of Interactive Fiction (where it received ribbons for Outstanding Illustrations & Design, Best Customization, and Best Deduction Game) and developed over the months prior. If you enjoy the game, I hope you'll consider checking out the first installment in the series, Fantasy Opera: Mischief at the Masquerade (voted 7th place in last year's IFComp).

Thanks so much for checking out my showcase entry!

This was marvelous! I loved the inclusion of the dice roll and the fact that there was character creation (and pretty robust, too! I know I relied heavily on Giuseppe's Charm boost) in this short time was incredible. The story was rich, surprising, and creative. I also loved the notepad feature and that there was a separate section for dreams; it made navigating my various thoughts much easier. I felt clever while playing, and that's so important in a mystery game... The dream analysis section, while super clever from an Inky perspective, was a liiiittle simpler and less deduce-y than I normally prefer, and I do wish there had been some audio in a game themed like this, especially at the end, but my imagination filled in the blanks!

I'm really excited to see your other stuff, both previously (as mentioned in the intro) and in future!

Thank you so much for playing and commenting! I hope it's clear that this is a Showcase Entry (developed over months last fall/spring). I definitely couldn't have made this in a week 😅

Sorry, I am illiterate, which makes playing text-based games very difficult! /s 🤣 Well, regardless, it was still magnificent and I've been recommending it across my various group chats.

Oh, that's great to hear! Thank you for spreading the word!!
