A short Twine game I made at the last minute. I hadn't planned to enter at all, but changed my mind.
This is the first Twine game I have made.
It's Twine, so presumably it's a HTML5 game, or Java script.
Edit-
Added scroll-bar. One of the scenes was cut off when not in full-screen mode.
Edit 2-
Made window slightly bigger and removed the scroll bar.
Every page should have a link, if you see one that doesn't, please notify me.
Edit 3-
Fixed some typos in the game. Made the [...] option more clear that it was a choice.
Edit 4-
small tweaks. Changed [...] option because I am a very paranoid person.

The story's well written, though it would have been nice if it were longer.
Ah, I love a little text adventure. That was neat, left just the right amount to imagination. Thanks for this
I'll just echo what everyone else has said - too short! I enjoyed what was there, and definitely wanted more.
Interesting and impressionistic? A really good excuse to be able to rate some games!
Well done!
Cool text adventure. I'm into the enigmatic style. Glad you decided to submit.
Well-written aside from the occasional typo here and there ("to close" instead of "too close" etc.), and the story had an eerie atmosphere.
Good entry considering the limited time you had!
Good twine game, it is a little confusing though, I think it would have been better if it was clearer what was going on, but good job
Twine, yeah! Short, but with an intense mood. I kinda liked it, even if the later bit was rather linear.
The story is well written but a little confusing. Good job overall, nice use of theme.
Really nice text based game.I would like to see some music on it.
Excellent story writing and use of the theme!!! I like it!!!
Great try, express the ShapeShift theme by a Word game is innovated~
Pretty cool, we're many to do textual adventures on ludum dares. That's a good first game. Ï should try twine myself one day...
Gotta agree with others, it sounds like an interesting story but a tad confusing. Right now my theory is that the shapeshifter's true nature is a word, or something similarly abstract (dunno, it seemed like the book was the home, or something).
Not bad, especially for last-minute excuse for voting in LD. ;)
That was pretty cool. Loved the writing style (abrupt, but still fairly descriptive, keeps you in suspence), and from what I could tell it fits the theme nicely, but now I want you to try writing more!
A bit short, but still entertaining nonetheless. I didn't rate you on humor though (doesn't really make sense to vote for that category)
I actually really love the mood to this. I liked that it showed what you clicked on already when you play through again. Some of it was really great poetry. When there is one statement that you have to click on, it really emphasizes it. It's like a new tool to use in creative writing! So a very cool concept.
Interesting game. Well written though a bit confusing at times. Great job anyway ;)
Short poetic game which is well written. It could be interesting to continue this project. I like your main idea - to do something in order to rate other games. Well done ++
I like this kind of thing a lot. Subtle, does not try to explain itself. You can take the time to figure it out and be rewarded or give up and play more Halo. Pretty good for the time it sounds like you spent.
Interesting. Definitely full of atmosphere, but I may be a bit too slow to pick up on the greater meaning!
Interesting and original idea... but I think you must to introduce more multimedia elements (like fx/music) to make the player feel the story. Good entry.
great mood! nice story too... part of myself asks for more xD
I didnt understood a thing but tried to play different braches of story. Misterious and interesting, i would really like to play a full big game with that sort of narrative.
interesting concept of storytelling. definatley not the standard, i liked it

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.
Cool concept for a game about shapeshifting. Would be better if it was a longer but overall good job!
