I've been playing a number of these GMTK game jam submissions, and even though there were others that were technically more polished than this one, this has to be one of my favorites because it was so original. 

I only had three issues. First, the writing quality did kind of fall off after the introduction, as was previously pointed out. Second, the help section gave a bunch of different commands for movement and using things, but I never felt like I got to use any of them. Given more time, maybe the story could have expanded and had those actions, but as it were, I felt like they just hinted at something better that I didn't actually get to play. Finally, as a minor issue, I think it would have been better to store the media files in a subfolder, as the game folder was kind of messy.

Overall though, I really liked this game. It was fun and original. Great job.

This game... took me by surprise. It was such a surreal and charming experience.  I don't think i've ever experienced anything quite like it. ^^

The game starts surprisngly strong. I was super pumped to start my text adventure. the music and the text really hyped it up and  I was intrigued to find out what happens next. I was not prepared for the video clips that appeared throughout the game. Everythnig about this felt oddly nostalgic and bizzare. 

The quality of the writing wasn't quite as good after the introduction, and the video clips became more and more bizzare, but to be honest none of that really mattered, because I could see that this game had a lot of passion put into it. Considering this is your first game, i'm quite impressed. I wish you to hold on to that passion as you learn and improve your skills. As you practice and manage to finish more and more games you'll keep getting better at it.


Unfortunately I died to the deathclaw and ended my adventures there, lol.


PS: Bonus points for originality. I'm glad you decided to go with something out of the ordinary for your first game, rather than some typical shooter/platformer game.
