“This is the ending all stories must eventually reach: silence around an empty stage.”

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.

2025 Summer Reading Competition | Tracking Thread on 6/28/2025 11:04:36 AMTo make it easier I'll just list games that did get featured:
- Fey Light by Fluxion
- Don't get distracted! by Clayfinger
Also as happy as I am that people jumped at reviewing Lazarus Cage (probably because it's short) I kind of want to recommend Nautilus as a game instead since it's a better read considering it had actual planning put into it and isn't that long either. Though upon checking it does already have quite a few decent reviews including one from Mystic that probably won't ever be beat considering she caught pretty much all subtext and symbolism with maybe one small inaccuracy that doesn't matter that much.

I vote cabbage because cabbage, and since I'm not there the lack of alcohol doesn't bother me, therefore we should meet out other basic need and focus on food.

No problem and yeah makes sense not to. Tough it'd be funny if the winner didn't actually post a single comment during the challenge and just got a bunch of previous ones featured.

Think you used the wrong card for the graphic here, also just to make sure of something: If somebody posted a comment before the mini-challenge started and it gets featured after it did does that one count? There's probably at least a few people with freshly made comments so it'd be good to know.

I also vote 4 because loot, but also because it's centrally located so there'll be more options if when we start to expand our empire.

Don't worry, we totally wouldn't swap you for Cat the second we get the card.

Don't worry about it, in the first of your stories I didn't notice that you made that slip until I was scrolling past it later on. Still it's a waste of a good pun if it's so subtle people don't notice it. Or maybe that's what makes it a great pun?

Not you too Will. Apparently Fluxion's name idea was so good it just flies over everyone's heads LOL

Your approach is not invalid for a storygame, but given I'm writing my reviews mostly for someone who wants a better if they'll like it I do feel obliged to point it out to manage expectations. The upside of me bitching about it is that the reader will know to expect less choices per page, which should bring their general enjoyment and score up so it's a win-win.

I can give it a shot after I get through the next few things on my list. I'm not absolutely set on getting all endings before reviewing a game, but I try to get as complete an experience as possible. So far most endings I've gotten in a single game is 41 in Gower's Game for Natalie with the bulk of my notes for that game being names I've given to each.
