First Encounter by Ysty

[raw]
made by Ysty for LD30 (COMPO)
First Encounter is a short science fiction story told using Unity Web Player and Twine. Which world is real, and which is a dream? Are they connected or is one just a product of your imagination?

The game is pretty short and there are four endings. I highly suggest trying to find them all.

Interesting concept technically!
Nice use of HTML, with small Unity web fragments as elements within the pages.
Unfortunately it's a bit cumbersome as loading and unloading Unity every time you do something is slow.
Story isn't half bad either.

What a very interesting idea, I like it :) I replayed it multiple times until I got a happy ending.

Cool use of Unity!
Seems more like an excersize in consequence rather than choice but I think a lot of these twine games are like that.
I mean, how come <<spoilers for anyone reading the comments first>> choosing wether or not to talk to a woman at a musiem decides if I'm a robot or not?
Still, I liked the Unity stuff a lot, and I like how the four paths through the game are clear, so you know when you've seen it all.

An interesting approach to making a game that was about thinking rather than fighting. I like it :)

Very interesting. I like the use of Unity to add you're interactive sections. Also really enjoyed the pixel art sections.

I'm sorry but honestly it's just a bad version of a game
I've seen before.
In LD #27 some guy made a game called "1 AM"
The graphics here are better though, so I gave it a high
rank on graphics but the plot just wasn't satisfying to me.
Here's a link to the game I've talked about
it's holy crap good:

Wow, that's not something I've seen before! My only complaint is that it would have been nice to have some css effects, not just the Twine defaults, especially considering you're also using graphics.

This is a nightmare to run/use, but it's a good idea and pretty well executed (esp given the constant browser issues)

I love how you combined Unity and Twine into one game.

Hi there. Interesting mashup of Unity and Twine, like it! Shame no sound. Got to ending 1/4, apologies not looking for others just yet but bookmarked. Good job!

Interesting concept, though the execution needs work, I think.
