Oh, there absolutely should be sound... hmm. I know sometimes Twine has a problem loading these things purely through HTML5; downloading it tends to make it work better, so maybe I'll try to make a note on the description. I appreciate the heads up!
And the blur fade idea is wonderful! I was thinking of it a bit during dev time, but... well, to be honest, it's a mix of not knowing how to pull that off, and running low on time. Text movement without Twine is messy, but it's something I could look into as well, maybe a subtle shaking or something like that?
In any case, I'm glad you enjoyed it, even if for technical reasons it wasn't ideal... Thank you for playing!
