Beta test: How does a magic cat get a knot out of his tail?

As an ongoing exploration of narrative design and game writing tools, I’ve written a small twine text adventure-type story that I’m sharing here so I can get feedback and improve! Also, so I can see what it takes to successfully share a story like this on my website…because so far I’ve mostly broken my link shares. XD

Please ignore the missing cover pic and final, closing pic! This little story is definitely a work in progress while I decide if I’m going to do these entirely for myself, or end up sharing them here on my website and maybe even on Steam. Let me know if you enjoyed it, and what you think!

Jaco Gets A Knot In His Tail

!!!SPOILER BELOW!!!

Here’s what the game looks like ‘under the hood’ with all its narrative branches!

Pretty cool, eh? 😀

I may settle on new tools for future use–I’m looking strongly at Ink for bigger projects that I’ll want to jump into Unity–but twine is so easy and fun I recommend it for anyone looking for a barrier-free way to dive into text adventures like this!
