Evolution

Every now and then, I like to browse different types of Jams that are taking place and see if I can participate in the ones that peeks my interest. One of these was a Game Jam I saw on itch.io, It's theme was anything that relates to Valentine. I tried to look at it from outside the box and see if I can focus on the Narrative. Around the same time, I learned how to program and make text-based adventure games using Twine. Mixing the two together I created a story that has 15 different ending, and every now and then I go back and add more features to it.

Since it's a game that focused on Narratives, I tried in implement a mechanic that works with the mind of the player, revolving around Respect, Morality, and Self Esteem. We had a month to submit the game but I really liked the concept and decided to add wisdom as a mechanic after the Jam was over! I have made a note on all the changes I have made in each patch as I update the game. 

I didn't want it to be a single narrative story, I wanted the players decisions influence the path that the story moves. With in these 15 endings, you can get a very different path, and all ending are not in the same way, there is a chance that you might turn into a zombie, or end up in prison as a thief or become a soldier in a war. The path rests in your hands. 

If you can spare 10 ~ 15 minutes, I would really appreciate playing this game and letting me know what you think of the story and how it fits together. The embedded version is available above but if you wish to play it at it's source feel free to visit my itch.io account.
