This is really fun! You can really tell that it was written by someone who's on tumblr a lot :P 

The one thing that kinda brings it down for me is the lack of a proper UI - combined with the animations every time you switch between menus, it feels sluggish and a hassle to switch to a different menu to check information (for example, when going back to tumblr from the "check people to invite" screen). This isn't helped by there not being much visual distinction between blocks of text, so if you're scrolling up trying to find information from a post or something, it's hard to figure out which block of text could have it.

I know a lot of this is because of Ink, not any of your choices, but imo that means using Ink might be bringing the game down. And don't get me wrong, it's still a great game even in this demo state! It's just a little frustrating to navigate.

Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback! I'll tinker a bit with the animations. Out of curiosity, what sort of visual distinction might help? A different font/font colour/background colour? (I've considered using the Tumblr and Ao3 fonts for their respective menus but felt a unified font would be more readable)

At the very least, a bar (that's a different colour than the text) between sections would be good if you're dedicated to keeping this text-only. Putting posts/sections in boxes with a different background colour would also help. But honestly, if you're open to it, having a proper UI might be the best solution. It's completely understandable if you don't want to go down that route though!
