I started a new story a while back. I only work on it when I want to, so progress is slow. I can't guarantee I'll finish it, either. But I figured feedback would be good. Here's the link. 

You'll notice I haven't written anything but one path so far. Here's a walkthrough to see the path I've been working on:

Take Data #01
Greet her nicely
Step out of the cell
Eat one
Sleep
Race
Turn around and wait for Star

You only work on it when you want to? Well it's good that no one is holding a gun to your head making you write or anything... ;)

As for the story, I was confused by the premise. During the setup, I felt like I was a character with zero knowledge. Then on the planet, suddenly I knew all sorts of things and concepts like eating, food, racing, fun, mountains, etc. I don't know, I just felt a strong disconnect there, like the character knew a lot more than he should have the way it started. Nice, clear writing with good descriptions of things!

The idea was that eventually the alien guy is going to tell them how he gave them a bunch of knowledge to help them. It's sort of lazy on my part I guess, but whatever
