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.

Cavus' Nook of Reviews on 11/30/2025 6:06:26 PMWell here we are the penultimate month in this year long challenge of mine, and following a recommendation I decided to give another chance to Bill, who did indeed redeem himself in my eyes with Blow Your House Down. Would I give it a full 7 or even 8 if I only read on path instead of all of them? Not likely, but I still think it was one of the better stories, even though I can't help but find roughly 80% of its total word count redundant in regard to personal enjoyment.

Thanks, I'm glad I managed to properly convey the intended messages and that it resonated with at least some people.
Also as a small blink-and-you-miss-it thing: Jack's not actually 19, he just says he is to avoid the risk of being sent back home. It doesn't change much if anything about the core story, but I figured it's better to point it out since it is one of those details put in to serve the theme itself.

Congratulations to RK. I might've been beaten, but I do feel at least a bit better after predicting the outcome. I'm still fairly satisfied with what I turned in compared to last time, but anything that's not a first draft put together last minute would accomplish that.
And good job to Avo for exceeding expectations. If you keep practicing and taking feedback into account it only gets better from here believe me.

I mean (hopefully) nobody will be mad for getting a bonus gift. The one you get assigned is a requirement, but it's not against the rules to do something extra for someone you really like.

Twine is a different engine for making CYOA games that's a fair bit more advanced than the CYS editor and mostly used for commercial projects.

Can't promise my gift will be high or even medium effort, but I'd hate to miss out again this year so sign me up.

Then I volunteer myself. It should annoy at least one person in that situation.

How about we instead give them to the winner if that happens? Just a thought

What is this nonsense? I always assumed CYStia is a righteus meritocracy. I will not sacrifice my hard earned points to make some good-for-nothing's feel better about their laziness.
