GRAND. by Lin Ji

[raw]
made by Lin Ji for Ludum Dare 46 (JAM)

"It's with bad sentiments that one makes good novels."

If this garners any praise, then it may be developed further.

This work is Mature, owing to the following factors:

  • Drug references.
  • Profanity.
  • Sexual themes.
  • Mental Health Issues.
  • Long monologues.
  • Intersexual Communication. (the scariest of them all.)

H!GHL!GHTS:

MULTIPLE ENDINGS; DECISIONS MATTER.

TWO LEVELS of DIFFICULTY, offering DIFFERENT PR!ZES.

TEXT is DRAMATIC and abounds in CONTEXT.

15 CHARACTERS, E!GHT of whom are PLAYABLE.

REWARD for unlocking all ACHIEVEMENTS.

CRYPTIC SYSTEM.

CAPTIVATING, THOUGHT-PROVOKING STORY.

COMPLEX PLOT, warranting multiple play-throughs.

OVER 9000 lines of SOURCE CODE.

If you get a Pop-Up Window barring access at the end of any scene, simply select “Ignore”. All you need is Love and a Keyboard. DON't BE AFRA!D to download the Game!! If your Malware Finder gets weird about it, it's only because the program is written in a very classic code, as happens unfortunately to be a fair deal of known Malware. While such archaic code may still be used by hackers since it's closer to the heart of a machine, (less abstract than most,) my own code is harmless, and I will stake my whole career upon this Promise.

Enjoy.

From the linked itch.io page:

> Enclosed is the Executable, written in the C programming language, for an interactive novel, written within the last **two weeks** of NaNoRenoMMXX.

> Files uploaded 6 days ago.

I think you made a mistake when you submitted to this jam, it's supposed to be only from games written over the weekend of the 24th-25th April 2020 *only*.

@wheybags & @sli:

Submissions for the Jam are not monitored as strictly as submissions for the Competition.

This submission is both legitimate and topical.

Thank you for playing and for patronizing.

That doesn't mean you can just submit anything...

@wheybags: I didn't submit "just anything". If you had finished my game then you would have to agree to its eerie relevance to the prescribed theme. I should hope that my game provides insight on the topic, and I would feel recrimination in suppressing it.

Respectfully,
Lin Ji.
