PSA: As of Chrome 42 (Released April 14th), NPAPI plugins are disabled by default! That means Unity Player, Java, and Silverlight games will not work in the Chrome browser! That said, Flash in the Chrome browser continues to work fine (PPAPI).
To Developers: Consider using HTML5 and WebGL instead. Having troubles with the export? Don’t worry. See Ports below.
To Players: A workaround is to enable NPAPI plugins in your Chrome settings. Click or Copy+Paste this URL in to a tab:
As of September 2015 however, this option will no longer be available.
Other browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari) and Flash are unaffected, but FWIW there is no Unity Player or Silverlight for Linux.X
A journalist wakes up in London and...well...you'll see.
A text adventure made with Twine with over 35 different endings.
(Edited as some story links were broken, game was unplayable. Again.)

I liked that this had a lot of different paths and endings, but I think the story lost a bit of coherence because of how many different settings and scenarios it tried to cover.
Also there's a bug on the page for putting on your suit: a set injured = True shows up as regular text.
Probably one of my favourite entries! I like how each thread had something happening - and I didn't feel like I was missing out by not taking one option or the other
Haha, a little bit frustrated by the visual part but story is interesting. I wish there is more game like this one in the submission list.
I love text adventure game, this one has quite a lot of choices and outcomes. This was very fun, fantastic job!
I just started enjoying the story and it ended. It would be better with fewer longer stories I think. But still a good game. A little unsure about the theme match.
Lots of options, lots of small stories. I can appreciate pulling off that much written content in the time period you described. Nice work.
I'll be back to try some of the other endings, but my cats rule the house also.
Lots of different paths and endings, which can be difficult with this amount of time. I really like your node map cover art too.
I found three or four basic storylines, and I think I got most of the endings. The super-villain one makes we want to play Overlord XD.
Your game is very cool, I like all the paths and endings. It's quite challenging to wrote so much endings for me.
I wrote a textual adventure too and your cover art is better than mine ;)
Probably one of the best Twine games I've played so far. Every possible story path was absolutely interesting.
Really impressive how much there is here. I like that the different stories all approach the theme differently.
It was fun pressing 4 over and over again B) Only found 4-5 endings but it was fun enough i will probably play it again.
Oh damn, I got Cthulhu'd!
And then I was saved by my cuddly owners.
I guess to get the full effect I need to play through and get a whole bunch of endings. Still, though, I can tell there's some good work here. I like the mood and the bits of humor in the writing. :)
I liked this alot. It was nicely written and had some intresting choices that lead the story well.

Mini Submission FAQ
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.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
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 at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
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. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
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.
So I like the fact that I can both as intended, but also just dream something else. Nice touch.
