Really, really fascinating!!! Utterly fantastic conceptually. The idea of a multiplayer interactive fiction is wonderful and I want nothing more than for more games to look at this one for inspiration.
The asymmetry was really great (I was the leader of the besieged republic), but I only wish the tension grew for a longer time. I went to the cathedral, and apparently someone ratted me out no matter what. I only wish I could have sat longer in the tension of "Oh shit, they're coming for us". Futility was captured perfectly from my perspective, but I think the experience of being on the winning side would be improved if it was slightly harder.
I haven't played too many interactive fictions before this, but I definitely feel this captures where interactive fiction could go, if it was willing to explore the boundaries. Maximum respect to the creator, this is something I will think about for a while.
This is incredible!! I've been playing all afternoon with a friend, and it's been a blast. Its really well written, has some interesting characters and a really engaging story. Your choices ACTUALLY matter, something really important in these types of games that not everyone who makes them follow...
10/10!
I did see a little bug, though, at the ''stare into the barrel'' option, after the dicator makes a human shield. If you're playing as the general of the King's army, you can't read any further, although it does continue, as it asks for a code...
Other than that, I would (and will) definitely recommend this! Thanks for making it, it's amazing.
