A Fly
This is the first interactive fiction project I have done. It is a quiet experience with a poem. It was inspired by the Enigmarch 2023 prompt "Room" and In a Minute There Is Time, although A Fly is less of a gamified or puzzly experience than that. It helped me learned a lot about Inform7.

Oh baby, another very rare piece of interactive fiction controlled by commands!! I am LOVING it already, without being done with it yet.
Is that made with twine? I've tried to set up a similar system but need to look into it more thoughtfully I guess. However, the very first image the player gets to see has a tiny dark font on a grey background image, which I tbh didn't bother to read because it looked just like a mistake in itself - no offense!! But please look into that one :)
Will update my post in case I run into any bugs and give your idea more thought!
Thanks for approaching this genre! :')

wow thank you, I appreciate anyone even looking at this weird little project! it's purely text-based, I'm trying to learn how to write with Inform7. That image at the start is the "cover art" but yes the way I did it looks terrible, I didn't realize that the title etc. would print there. I'm trying to fix that. Anyway just wanted to say thank you for feedback :-)
Aw what a shame, I was hoping for a hint on why twine is not quite doing what I expect it to do. But by now I feel like I am getting close to what I want, eventually:'D
Actually, I am browsing text-based and interactives every day and check the very newest releases. I love to see a game evolve over time and enjoy seeing progress in the developer's work!
I have always admired this kind of games :') The command parser is such an underrated feature!
I hope you keep working on stuff like this in the future :)
