It's not a thought provoking, philosophic manifesto, but goodness, I thought it was hysterical. Good job overall. I'd love for this to become a series, I would really like reading more of Finch.

This is good stupid fun. Not much by way of deeply moving story, but it's got some humor and some choices that can keep you occupied.

My one complaint is how the so-called "Assassin extraordinaire" managed to kill the wrong guy in my branch, but then again, maybe that's the point?

This reminds me of a Steve Martin film (for you poor Gen Z kids, go watch Pink Panther; or just google the hamburger scene from it).

Overall, not bad. Fun to play.

Obviously this is a quick game but, I really enjoyed it. The humor worked well. In the beginning I had to force myself a little bit to care about the protagonist. While the scene with the book certainly made me smile it also make him seem a little bit incompetent. I think seeing him also being good as something at the same time (or first) would have given me a smoother start. But this wasn't a big issue. The story progressed very well and the writing was fine. Would recommend.

Well written and engaging. No significant SPAG errors or incorrect word choices that I noticed. The branching is nicely handled and each ending is fun. In particular the slapstick Kiss of Death was a pleasant surprise. I will be looking at your other storygames.

The Kiss of death ending was the best. This story is hilarious. I loved how silly it was.

Short. Definitely short. But I loved this.

There’s something endearing about how oblivious Mr. Lee is. It borders on slapstick comedy at times, which honestly works in the story’s favour. He’s a borderline super assassin with the odd quirk of barely taking his job seriously, clumsy, aloof, and entirely too casual for someone so lethal. But that actually gives him a kind of humanising charm that really works. He’s not just a weapon; he’s a character.

There’s also a surprising amount of hidden depth in the outcomes. You can really feel the butterfly effect taking shape based on the choices made. It gives the piece a quiet realness and choice beneath the humour.

Stylistically, it's just well written. It's immersive, engaging, and genuinely fun to read. My only real critique is that it felt too short. I think there was room for more worldbuilding, some extra space to let the setting breathe and unfold. But for what’s here, it’s rich, clever, and really well executed.

Great job. Would love to see more stories from you to be honest.

I cannot say I was expecting a love story between an assassin and a knife.
This story branches wonderfully, and as it is a short read, it's 100% worth it to read through all the endings. Adam's general silliness contributes to the chaotic nature of the story.
Adam is a very consistent character, just wanting to do things in his own way. He's not evolved on much, but that does feel in character.
The writing style reminds me of an old comic book, if a comic book had no pictures. By that, I mean not very serious and action packed. This is one of the settings I feel like this works. The dialogue feels natural for a majority of the story, although corporate-speak has always seemed gibberish to me.
I thought this was overall a very funny story, and it gave me a sense of nostalgia for Bond parodies like Austin Powers. I still wonder about the logistics of the knife romance, but I don't particularly want it explained either.
My only real issues with this is that it's too short, and even though we know a bit about Adam, we don't get too much about him, or anything from other characters.
In general, a great story, very funny for a quick read when bored. I did knock a point for the characterization, but I still give it a 7/8.
