A Token Submission to the Single Choice Jam.

This is a short parser game, written in Inform. Expect a lot of characters. No, not that kind! Like text, in words! Someone should really add some screenshots, I guess.

This is a hard one for me to leave feedback for. I don’t do parser games well at the best of times, so of course a game where the parser is trying to defeat me is even harder, so I can’t tell whether this is a perfect example of a clever parser or more me being dumb :)

Nevertheless, I persevered. The game is so surreal, that it drew me in. However, as a mouse myself, I feel I have to object to the characterisation of mice as cheese-obsessed criminals. It’s totally untrue. There are many criminal schemes that occur to me that aren’t (entirely) cheese-related.

In the end the fortnight was saved, and the train was full of cheese, so it’s not so bad.

This was really fun!
