Hey, nice story writing!
Got me really interested in the story.
Yo, this sent me to a the html code rather than the game (I imagine you want it to send you to a game.) Check out this article: https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/74/publishing-and-promoting-your-construct-2-game. I used it to get google drive to host my flash game (and actually play the game when you visited the link).
Would like to see a longer version of this. Also see if you can figure out a way of hosting this so we dont have to download it :) you'll get a lot more plays that way
Well, I wasn't expecting to play a game with some violent descriptions, but yeah, hey, nice job on setting the mood. Although I didn't feel compelled to keep playing after I got murdered down the hall.
Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I got my friend to upload the latest version to his web server, so now it's available to play immediately :)
Seemed to be written in a noir-esque style. This was actually my first Twine game, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Shame it's incomplete!
Nice. Always fun to play these fish out the water games. Should definitely flesh it out and make it longer!
Reminds me a little bit of how Dark City starts out. I'm with everyone else here, it should be longer.
Hehehe, I had DOSBOX and even downloaded CWSDPMI to try this out. It is minimalist to the max! Well done. :D
Argh, sorry, I posted in the wrong page!! Have fixed the score.
Kept me busy for a bit, but after a while I got a bit bored. I like how most of it is very concise. The intro was nice, but it didn't really manage to grab me.
I enjoyed this. You've done a pretty good job on the film noir murder mystery ambience. Reminded me a bit of the old NES game "Déjà Vu". The unusual writing style works pretty well. The story isn't hugely original, but you've created a good sense of horror. In game terms, this is solid Twine work.
Nice way to bring in potatoes, too.
I must admit I was a bit disappointed to find that
SPOILERS
... I got a "to be continued" message the moment the story seemed to be going somewhere.
END SPOILERS
But that just testifies to the story sucking me in. Nice interactive story.
"Deja Vu", even. Dang messageboard not allowing accents...
Nice - I died p quickly but went back to play again - I like it. :)

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Pretty cool story. Serving the html as a google document seemed weird. Maybe you could throw it up on dropbox instead?
