lol this game is dead
I tried it on Linux through WINE but unfortunately it didn't work.
Interesing, made me replay a couple of times. Would love to have a bit more story development on the "wrong" choices. But liked the bad ending.
We also created a game for the jam if you want to take a look. Is called "Zeqecu: Machinaria Files" Cheers!
Liking the absurd set-up and the choose-your-own-adventure style.
One thing I find unfortunate is that it is extremely easy to get the game to freeze. Just pressing "enter" to get to the next line of text is already enough to make the game thing I entered a selection for a later prompt and just sits there doing nothing. For instance, when the game asks me whether I want to open a closet, I input "y", but nothing happened and I can't do anything other than quit the game. You might just want to repeat the selection prompt until you get an input you can handle. That would make the experience a lot more enjoyable.
That said, I do like the many different options and the atmosphere you're building.
Nice, reminds me of qbasic choose your own advetnure games I used to make back in highschool. Good bit of nostalgia :D And it was getting interesting, but I wish there were a way to skip the text that goes past so slowly after the first time you've read it, cause I gave up after a few deaths. (They feel like part of the fun though, so I don't mind them so much, just the unskippable text)
You take the place of a man, taking a drive home from a short business trip in Arizona when you run out of gas, so the only thing you can do is go to the closest gas station, which seems to have a much darker side...
IMPORTANT: IF YOUR GAME LAUNCHES BUT DOESNT DO ANYTHING THEN CLICK ON THE GAME OPTIONS NEXT TO THE LAUNCH BUTTON THEN CLICK OPEN FOLDER. WHEN THE FOLDER POPS UP CLICK DATA THEN ROADSTOP AND IT SHOULD WORK ENJOY! #textadventure #AdvJam2019
IF YOUR GAME LAUNCHES WITH A BLACK SCREENTHEN CLICK ON THE GAME OPTIONS NEXT TO THE LAUNCH BUTTON THEN CLICK OPEN FOLDER, CLICK DATA THEN ROADSTOP.EXE AND IT SHOULD WORK! NOTE THIS PROBLEM SHOULD ONLY OCCUR IF YOURE USING THE GAMEJOLT LAUNCHER.
