Thank you so much for playing! I'm really glad you enjoyed the experience! I felt mostly inspired by the Extra Credits Game Jam challenges and party-games to put part of your game outside of the "program" part.
The main reason I split the game up into two parts was mostly a time-constraint. I wanted to create a text-adventure fully in the program, but I found it much more efficient for me to just use a word document where I had planned the original design! I had only one day available to work on this game, so it seemed more sensible to me.
Once again, thank you so much for playing! I'm glad you were able to involve your significant other as well! I was wondering what other people's reactions to the "challenges" would be!
