Category: Twine

Welcome to the Sensory Orb story adventure game finalized. I made some adjustments per the feedback that was received previously and created a quick link at the end of each storyline for an easy restart.

https://naritai.itch.io/mmp-270-twine-0 My Twine game is called Kindness Isn’t Key. It’s a slightly subversive dating-sim style story that starts with a girl staring at you while you sleep.

The feedback I received was mainly that its a good start but needs to be longer and lead somewhere. People also liked the subversive aspects. I agreed with this feedback completely and strived to make a somewhat subversive story that was still complete, self-contained, and satisfying to read; which was a fun challenge because of the strange premise. I also received lots of feedback from friends in regards to the pacing of the story that I found very helpful.

I find that visual novels that exist solely to make fun of dating-sims are pretentious, so despite being lighthearted and comedic, I wanted to include a little emotional heart to tie it all together. I find games in this kind of genre are generally looked at as cringe, but I think there’s a lot of great dating-sims and other visual novels out there, so I wanted to take the writing seriously. I would say this is mainly inspired by the writing in visual novels I’ve read from the developer Key (which is where the title idea came from) such as Clannad, Air, and Kanon.

What I got from peoples Comments was they like the choice between Nike & Adidas They ask for more outcomes & consequences I will make more scenarios but make them link back to the starting point in some ways like adding a multi-pathways system in the game but it leads to different ends based on your choices

So here’s the full extent of my twine. I feel I may have fallen a bit short/cheap in certain parts but overall satisfied with the outcome. Enjoy!

This is my progress. I added more paths. I want to have different endings to make it much more fun. Some of them repeat depending on the decisions that are taken.

which ever shoes he picks with give him some type of bad and good choice

My story is about a boy named Jimmy who wakes up in a very strange and scary place after losing consciousness. He will have to find a way out, but… will he succeed? I’m still working on it.
