They want to keep you bound in the dark, but you won't let them. You will get out, fight and flee, fail and die, then try again and again...
Grudges must always be the first to die when a storm arrives.
After years away you return home to your dying father, but will you be able to get your brother to forgive you for leaving? And will you step up to the challenge to inherit your father's most prized possession?
Written as part of the 2023 Spring/Summer Contest: Gone Fishin' it is a game with a much bigger focus on story than gameplay, but still there is a decent amount of endings and variation for something this short.

That is not what I meant by niche, unless I'm somehow misremembering the definition of that word, but thanks :D

That's probably something on your browser's side or otherwise specific to something in your setting somewhere, which I can't help you with really considering the site barely holds itself together for me and my own very niche setup.

Here you go, these 2 use the same basic style, but Fey Light also has a fancy opening page (that kinda doesn't work on any of my computers because the button and text are misaligned, but still looks cool).

Yep, totally. I've been working on stuff like that for my next game. A good example of tasteful html stuff are Fluxion's games if you want to see how it can look.

This only applies to forum posts, but yeah, I did just break it because of the whole message cut off bug. In general I'd recommend to know what you're doing and/or writing your html in a separate file and testing it locally through a browser (just write in a .html file don't even need a fancy editor)

Using the rich editor is the easiest way to achieve fancy text, but scripting which is basically just html+css allows for much more fancy stuff

I also think a residence hall is the better idea. You can build individual housing later and dedicate it to the most productive members of the colony while the others get to use the old place, creating a class based society in the process. And yeah food is mandatory, but I'd also like to see some anomaly research because it's the voices in our heads that make us better at creating things.

Fair enough, I guess I can safely continue my quest to find and review a true 8/8 and a true 1/8 game.

I don't believe I've been particularly mean or harsh in my comments during this contest beyond pointing out what I see as flaws in the stories, but I'm also not restraining myself for the sake of being nice. I am trying to maintain a semi professional tone in my reviews for the sake of potential readers and focus on the game instead of the author, but if someone decides to drag their hairy balls across my screen I will tear them a new one. I've written rants like that before, just not for anything on this site.
