For English Project: French Revolution Era Prisons vs Modern Prisons

Prisons will be a recurring subject and setting in the book A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens. Characters will be in prison and the French Revolution will start because the unfairness and harshness of these prisons. People might start escaping prison during the French Revolution. People will be kept in prison before being taken to the guillotine. Modern prisons in today's time were not as horrible and disgusting as prisons back then. You can imagine the daily torture the prisoners had to go through, not to mention the terrible sanitation and starvation.

You either spend your life in a modern prison, die (somehow) or live in england with a random apple guy, not alot of choice

I don't get it. How's that supposed to be sci-fi? (apart from the time machine)

Not bad. Barely any spelling errors. looks like you put time in to this.

I like that the wrong choice in the beginning didn't immediately lead to failure (although it ultimately did).

Good for a school project. But overall....... it's not a good story in CYS. Sorry.

In regard to my last comment, I meant that you did not contrast the two prison settings in your game.

Though, it seems that I am mistaken and that there is a "modern prison" path. So, feel free to disregard that part of my previous comment.

It takes quite a while to get to the actual "prison" part of the game, and the amount of detail is disappointing. There is also very little contrast between prisons during the French Revolution and prisons in the modern world.

Also, the use of the word "guns" on the second page immediately brings to mind modern firearms. You probably should've used a more specific or period appropriate term.

Still, this is a decent game with a fair number of different endings.

It was just a quick easy thing for my class. If it was boring then I'm sorry for that, but I didn't really put all my effort into this short story game. :) Sorry!

For a school project it's not a bad contrast between prison then and prison now, though I guess there are pretty bad prisons all over the world :) For a school project I think this should score quite highly, for a choose your own adventure it's ok
