What was your favourite part of working on your game during GDM?
Learning how to use Twine because I'd never even heard of it before, let alone used it.

What was the hardest part of creating your game?
Definitely writing. I'm not used to writing fiction so that was the biggest hurdle for me.

Did you use any pre-existing assets in your submission?
No.

I enjoyed clicking through the scenario and finding the endings. Some spooky music and maybe some subtle sound effects (sounds of the forest, twigs snapping, shrieks, etc) would really help the experience and immersiveness.

Feels less like a game and more like a choose-your-own-adventure novel, which is fine -- the writing's generally solid, and every route feels like a piece of a puzzle in a way -- I just think there maybe could've been more in the way of presentation.

This game could use some sound to immerse you. I know it's takes based, but it's hard to get invested when it's just reading alone. Otherwise, the game was decent, just not necessarily my cup of tea.
