Somewhat disappointing that my choices didn't seem to matter all that much, but I guess it's no wonder since the setting only allows for a few rooms to be explored. The story, while short, was pretty interesting and in my opinion well written."},{"author_name":"Paul Sinnett","author_uid":"11312","time":"Sep 10, 2015 @ 11:04pm","epoch":1441925940,"text":"This was a good use of the theme."},{"author_name":"Chaosmore","author_uid":"57901","time":"Sep 11, 2015 @ 12:24am","epoch":1441930740,"text":"Second twine entry I played with the protagonist starts off with an amnesia for no reason."},{"author_name":"Flaid","author_uid":"45697","time":"Sep 11, 2015 @ 1:54am","epoch":1441936140,"text":"It was a pretty decent story, but I was a little bummed that the different choices didn't lead to different outcomes."},{"author_name":"KilledByAPixel","author_uid":"2075","time":"Sep 11, 2015 @ 5:21am","epoch":1441948560,"text":"- interesting story, I was riveted\r<br\/>- good take on the theme\r<br\/>- extremely linear, needs more branching to be called a proper game. even just one off things a player could examine for extra detail.\r<br\/>- multiple endings would help, at least a good and bad ending\r<br\/>- art was a good idea to help grab the player but doesn't match the story.  maybe I missed it but I don't remember anything about a rose and it doesn't seem to make sense in the context"},{"author_name":"BlackQuiltro","author_uid":"55354","time":"Sep 11, 2015 @ 2:45pm","epoch":1441982400,"text":"I liked how well written it is and the use of the theme.\r<br\/>Needed more branching to really make it interactive (if it is too linear it is not really a game!)"},{"author_name":"athaclena","author_uid":"34791","time":"Sep 11, 2015 @ 4:59pm","epoch":1441990440,"text":"Very descriptive story, I have a lot of clear visual images while reading through it.

One of my first experiences working with twine. The story is not appropriate for ages under 18. With high warning, this story contains dark content and maybe unsettling to some readers. It has no affiliation with any events or real people. The entire story is fiction and should not be taken seriously.\r\nThis was created as part of the 'You are the Monster Jam' to highlight some of the narrative techniques for approaching delicate content.\r\n\r\n","title":"Blood, The Monster is You"}
