YOU are the hero of this story, a young and daring pilot on the front lines of a war for control of your home planet of Nebulos. But things take a strange turn when a routine mission goes wrong, and you find yourself alone and lost in the ruins of a once-great city. YOU decide which routes to take, which challenges to overcome and which awful birds you want to get into fights with! Only YOU can uncover the mystery of the strange alien robot that lies at the end of your journey! Hello! I am pleased to present the prologue and first chapter of my interactive fiction game Binary Bond. It plays in your browser and begins the story of Arcana and Some Mystery Robot (cough) and the battle for Nebulos. There are multiple paths to explore, choices that will affect the way the story plays out and plenty of hooks for future chapters. Play in-browser here! Features: Choices! A mystery robot! A depressing ruined city! No puzzles involving animal poo! (genuinely written and then cut for reasons of being stupid and gross) An awful bird! Backstory! Frontstory? Hardly any Furmanisms! At least one fistfight! A gun! A mystery macguffin! Singing! Spaceships! Friendships??? All feedback is greatly appreciated. In particular while I'm pretty sure there are no bugs in the traditional sense that would stop the game from working, there may be occasions where the text doesn't read right, or punctuation looks strange - these may be genuine typos or a result of paragraphs linking back to each other erroneously. If you encounter any of this, let me know! Also, y'know, enjoy!
Wow, you can certainly write. Enjoyed it immensely, though I’ll have to play again to find the bird. Will there be a pt 2? Else I must threaten to make fanfiction.
Cheers mate, I appreciate it. Yes, there will be a part 2, with some actual robots in it this time. It is part-written at the moment but other projects have since got in the way. I will definitely return to get it finished soon though.
Cool, looking forward to it. It’s an interesting glimpse into a world that makes you want to find out more. Can’t figure out how to do that spoiler thing so PMing feedback
That was AWESOME! it was the most enjoyable story I've ever read...can't wait for chapter 2...I'll be watching this thread!
I'm embarrassed to say that I've not been working on this for ages, been busy with a hundred and one other projects all at the same time. But consider this me appropriately shamed into getting back to it!
