Extinct

The setting was well established and the writing was, overall, pretty decent. However, I'll be damned if there was a way to figure out what the hell was going on. It was strange in the worst way, almost indecipherable. Just for that I'm docking points.

The protagonist is bland and underdeveloped, the actual story practically non-existent, and the atmosphere was pretty half-baked. Overall, it feels like SOMETHING could have gone right if this was a portion of a much longer story, but as it is it just doesn't work. For that, I'm docking more points.

About the only good thing I can say about this story is that it's well written and decently sized for a first effort. However, there are so many parts that just fall flat so hard that I can't say I enjoyed it at all.

The author's a huge faggot too, so what might have been a 4/8 went down to a 2/8. Fuck you.

I liked the start of this story and how it created the setting. Then things started to get weird. I mean, I get that was apparently the point of the story, but the total…nothingness made it difficult to get into the story. With nothing but wind and slight movement, there really isn’t much to the story. I wonder if there could be more sound, or maybe even smells, to draw a little more out of the story. And even when something happens and I gain control of my muscles, there’s still really nothing. I’m falling, but that’s it. There’s no wind, no graphic descriptions of what I’m seeing, and little more. I think there could be a lot more to this story to really engage the reader a lot more than what I see in the story.

I think perhaps the story was just a little more abstract than I was prepared for. I reached an ending where I was a survivor – and I never really knew that I was supposed to be surviving, because I was so disconnected from the story. It seemed like a nice story, but I just couldn’t get into it because of its abstractness. I wonder if a little more explanation at the start might make things more clear, despite the intentions of the author. Or maybe there could be more feelings applied later in the story, maybe some feeling of a need to escape could be added somewhere.

Overall, a nice story with good writing. Thank you for sharing it with the site.

This is a well-written first storygame. I love the mood of the story and the atmosphere. Your grammar was near-perfect.

I didn't entirely understand the purpose of the story; I felt it would work as a prologue to a greater piece. The endings were especially interesting because of the way you wrote it. I gaped in despair when I realized that that was the end! It was a cruel cliffhanger.

Despite the mental state at the beginning, the character wasn't psychologically developed throughout the story. I liked the way you wrote the story at first - it did give that "drifty" feel - but you didn't explore the protagonist's emotions and mental health much. He didn't seem to feel fear or adrenaline falling from the sky. That feeling didn't get through to me.

When you wrote the descriptions of the protagonist for when he/she felt, for example, weightless, or when it occurred as a "pulsing" feeling, it would do well to compare it with something. I can't relate to what the person is experiencing. Did he feel weightless, shoved by the wind like downy feathers? Did the sense pulse through him as if ripples travelled through his body, shaking his mind?

You could do well with more descriptions of setting. Throughout the entire story, I pictured either a black or foggy-white background. There wasn't color. It all felt like a dream. Dream! That's the perfect word. The emotions seemed dulled, the colors blurry, the action slow. Mind you, the atmosphere you created was awesome.

I couldn't really connect with the protagonist because he/she isn't characterized well in the story. He/she did this, he/she did that. It was all actions. I couldn't find any vulnerabilities or traits that brought out the uniqueness of the protagonist.

This storygame, if revised and possible added on to, could be an exciting, engrossing story. The writing was expressive in a way, but lacked in the communicative sense. The writing itself is beautiful. Nice job~

wow

Interesting

what was that. i got all the endings and im still left questioning what that storygame was about, and why wind played such a role. i could go on but i wont because im already bored. 2/8

This was a really good story, enjoyable and fun to read and play through.

Got ending 4, and this was a pretty good story. It could have been longer though, it was an interesting story and world that I really enjoyed. I hope to see more from you.

"Safe and sound
Whether by chance or your own skill, you have succeeded in making it this far. The barren earth stretches far and wide before you. A dead planet, bereft of life. You don’t know what’s out there for you. Maybe there’s nothing at all. But one thing is for sure: you have regained hope, and you burn with life. The future is yours to make.

Ending 3: Safe And Sound

You survived the fall to the surface without sacrificing anything. Your future is uncertain, but you are optimistic about what awaits you.

Would you like to try again?"

i get props i guess it was east to get ending:4
