I am leaving my review here too as I mentioned :3
This was a nice game omg!
😭 I felt uncomfortable reading that other group chat, because I’ve been on that other end, seeing what people really think of you. That brought back some old memories of internet ‘friends’ doing this, but I felt a little relieved when everyone in that group chat all realized their mistakes and became more empathetic, and I liked that Kai was the one to defend the player character. Adam definitely reminded me of someone from my recent past who I thought was empathetic but I gave them the benefit of the doubt because in reality their coldness was just a result of their own mental issues (wasn’t AuDHD but a mental issue regardless).
In my opinion, it is a good thing that a game made me feel this.
Secondly, HOOOOOOOOWWWW did you do all of this in TWINE? One of my dreams is to make an impressive twine game, and I love phone games like this. How did you do all of this with HTML? It’s so smooth. The little wiggle animation. The stats, the interface! I wish I was proficient in HTML to make my email game look like an actual website. I know you don’t have to answer with all the libraries and codes you used but I am interested in the How. I also love the addition of achievements, didn’t know that was possible in Twine!
Lastly, I am glad your protagonist and the side characters all have ADHD. It makes me wonder how did they all find each other. It did feel a little overwhelming that they all had it, but again that’s a good thing. I have that too, so it’s really nice to see it up front and center in a Twine/cellphone game.
This reminded me of Sara is Missing and Simulacra, which are phone games I enjoyed too!
