"Out of Control" Experimental Roll-Your-Own-Interpretation Essay

ONLY WHAT YOU HAVE DONE SO FAR MEANS ONLY WHAT YOU HAVE DONE SO FAR is an experimental game-essay made for the 2020 Game Maker's Tool Kit Game Jam. The theme was "Out of Control."

This essay explores a variety of topics which are out of our control: the circumstances of our birth, the manifestations of superhuman entities in the world around us, even the interplay of our minds and senses. This feeling of powerlessness is underscored by a progression mechanic tied to the whims of Chance -- can get to Page 25 with only four bones?

Ultimately, I -- as the author of this work -- have no control over whether you obey the rules of the game, agree with my thoughts, or even give this game the time of day. If you do choose to play/read it, I hope you will let me know how I can improve the core mechanic. Thank you!
