It's always interesting to see how good storytelling and judicious choices are enough to immerse the player into the midst of the action. Bravo!
A few ambiant sounds and effects would have been appreciated though.
Thanks!
Always fun with a text adventure game, no need for fancy graphics! Utilizing the minds of the player really helps immerse oneself into the game. It really felt as if you where storming the Bastille yourself as the choices you made came with consequences. Great work!
Thanks!
BIG FAN! This is so “fun” (funny word for this!) and well written. I think it captures the violence of the event and text adventures are great for giving player choice w/o sacrificing the integrity of the historically accurate story you’re telling. Nice job! Big fan! :D
Thanks so much it was fun researching the event.
