Player Comments on ERROR: NAME NOT FOUND

This was really creative! There's a huge amount of effort on display, and I'm sure it'll get even better as time passes.

This was cool. I liked the loop, but I thought something would happen. I dunno. Maybe I didn't find it.

This game is not-

As the person in the comments who first commented on AI, I'd like to rescind that. I cannot pass the Turing test and just used UD's previous interactions on the site, but with the updates it's far more clear that this is man-made. Not bad for a first Storygame, just maybe next time ask for someone to be a beta reader (who is a little over suspicious of AI usage like me, perhaps). I'm in no way making excuses, it was rude of me to assume, and I'm sorry. Greatly enjoyable game. 5/8.

I really enjoyed this, and unlike other people I do NOT think this was written by AI. It should be kept in mind this is a story written in a way that could be misinterpreted as AI, but I believe that is simply from the setting being a video game. I'm quite familiar with artificial intelligence since I've programed smaller models.

Pretty short, but enjoyable.

I got the dream ending… It was pretty good! Something to read while you eat or something 😁

Interesting first work. The exploration of what various kinds of links do is clear. Not a terrible premise for a story exploring how to do stories on this site. I am fairly certain that I found every ending, although as some point one of the endings (Life is But a Dream) cleared the Notes link and I could not get it to come back.

I disagree with the assertion that this is AI, I don't think it is, although the writing is oddly stilted. If it was AI it is certainly not an AI model I'm familiar with. The attempt at an Lovecraftian description of the various monsters was well done in one spot (Shadows) but very awkwardly in a couple others.

The AMOOESGTHWURTIYRRN endings are also frustrating as this feels like some kind of anagram, but there are no clues given anywhere I could find to help explain it. Adding some more description to the first couple of pages to give more context to finding the USB and loading it up might help bridge the gap for some readers and help pull them into the story more smoothly.

No significant SPAG issues, although the overall work feels shorter than the word count would indicate.

...Nevermind- I think this may have been written by AI on a second read through... 2/8... This is why we read carefully folks...

(Minor Spoilers)

It was short, but fairly enjoyable. I genuinely thought there would be a key, but maybe I'm just too stupid to find it. I originally got the Cat ending, I thought satisfaction would bring it back. I am also a sucker for 7 Deadly Sins based games and I noticed a small theme of that. Maybe I could've been harsher, but I enjoyed it. 5/8

Neat! wish there was more options and where is richard and JOHN!?

It was a bit confusing at first, but then I got the hang of it.
I didn't know what was happening at first, but the game description explained it. This feels like something I would experience in my dreams. I originally got the ending where I was running. I than went back and it took me a few minutes to get all the other endings.

I like the concept of this, and would love to see a more in-depth, longer version of this story.
