Blood Money by kristinamay

[raw]
made by kristinamay for LD 44 (COMPO)

What can they take from you when they already have all your money?

Blood Money is a text-based adventure with some pixel art flair. It's the first chapter of something that could be longer.

I didn't create any music, but that's okay!

This is my second Ludum Dare, but my first compo! I'm really pleased with it, especially since I only had Friday evening and all day Sunday to work on it.

Made using Squiffy.

THANKS FOR PLAYING! :smile:

Interesting game! It took me a while to figure out how to start it. I was waiting for the game to load, thinking the big blank area was the game still loading, didn't realize I needed to click the >>. It left me wanting more which is a good thing.

Quite an interesting idea. But the game is very short. I think the game has potential.

that was really cool. Great to see some text game with illustrations tho. I was scary in that distopian.. future? xD

Interesting commentary on capitalism. I ran through it a couple of times, though I got the same ending both times. Might come back to it to see what else is there. My only suggestion would be to have the options reappear at the bottom of the new text instead of having to scroll back up to choose a new option. That confused me for a moment.

@jharler yes! I was trying to figure out how to get the options to re-appear, but was unable to do so. Thanks for playing and giving feedback, hopefully I can figure out how to do that for future chapters. :) (PS, there is another ending! Just... be grumpier.)

Interesting game, even though I'm not a narrative games person. It reminded me a little bit to black mirror, it was one of your references?

@eliphas ah I can see that! I was thinking about a lot of different futuristic sci-fi when I wrote it. Definitely feels a bit like "Fifteen Million Merits," also thought about the RPG game "Paranoia" as I was writing it, too.

The writing is really excellent, and the theme incorporation is perfect. Nice job!

The game stuck at sending the blood sample :( I realized, though, you can scroll up and select other options - is it supposed to be like that?The art and writing is nice though ;)
