First set of thoughts on IW, and why are so many people still playing the old version?

First things first. Since I had to change the name of the game I can tell how many are playing the older version and how many are playing the newest one. I'm not saying don't play the old version, but the newest one is much better at sticking to the story, at least if you are a host. But it seems to just hand you the answer to killing the Masters if you play as Julie. I'm working on that. Also right now Crissy and Julie seem most playable, Olivia the least.

First some thing funny. These paragraphs come from three consecutive rounds of the same game.

So chose not to lock, then it was locked, then there was never a lock on the door in the first place. These things are annoying to me because I love continuity. But you can just tell it something different in what you do the next turn and usually it will just pretend like that was the way it always was.

I am just learning how this site works but from what I have heard story teller mode allows you to force changes in an easier way. But wrangling the AI can be fun to. And it does sometime actually write some intuitive stuff with little prompting.

The yellow portion at the top is the prompt for the turn. The first line was part of one of the pregenerated options given. The rest I added. I was trying to be vague to see what it would do. The last line which I highlighted is amazingly spot on and unprompted.

I am still learning how this thing works but one thing I can say is that if you just pick one of the three options it seems to take forever for things to unfold. But if you push it or at least put multiple actions in the prompt it can be pushed to do things faster. This was turn two of one of my games and Barbara was already saying "I Obey", not bad.

One last thing. I hate being a shill. I would love it if you have fun with this game but three free turns a day is better than nothing. I have put some money into this to play test it. And although I get some credits when people play it I may not get any for free turns, if so that's great, I don't mind, you do what is best for you. If you are unsure don't waste your money, if you love it, well I'll work on it here and there for a month or two at least. And if it takes off, maybe this is the vehicle for a broader way of telling this story.

Here is the link to the most updated version.

And sorry about the pictures being links. I'm still working on how to get them into CHYOA, this was partially a test.
