Really neat work in progress. Looking forward to seeing where this goes. Heads up to IF veterans... This is very simple, almost to a fault. So far going off the beaten path is verboten so stick to the highlighted words.
Only piece of advice I have is to maybe expand the vocab to include shortforms for words. Also, maybe add some extra text in more locations when a player attempts to do something logical/sensible but not available or correct right, interacting with the videotape is an example.
Also, I like the video filter but at least in the web version it makes everything too blurry so I turned it off.
Music bangs. Game seems great. Good luck, can't wait to play the finished version.
