How does your game fit the theme?
In a traditional text-based adventure game, the player would tell the computer their actions and the game tells them the result. In The Impossible Escape, the game tells you its actions, and you tell it the result.

Great writing and surprisingly deep choices, I had a lot of fun with this :)

Oh, huh, you had a similar idea with different narrative themes! I liked it!

Felt a bit like The Stanley Parable played through the perspective of the narrator. Nice sense of humor to the dialogue. The prose was pretty solid & the gameplay was smooth & didn't really get in the way. The text spacing could feel just a hair dense at times, but I might be a bit spoiled by Disco Elysium & its focus on readability.

Good work!

I like the idea... might be biased since its a similar idea to mine haha. The style is simple yet nostalgic and the text/dialogue was unique. The gameplay is good, easy to grasp and unique at the same time. Good job!

This is actually such a cool Idea! I really dig it.

This is really cozy, idk why but it just feels so cozy to me. Great job! :)

I love the idea, very unique take on the Roles Reversed theme! I'd be really curious what this game could look like with some branching options or maybe some resource you have to manage as the game's AI (maybe constraints the original programmer put on how much you're allowed to diverge?)

Very clean style, appreciate the consideration into font size given how much reading is involved. I'd love  to hear some sound effects from the player as they read my responses, like disgruntled sighs or laughter.

Very intriguing idea! I love how it basically lets you choose your creative style with the word choice, nice job :)
