I chose The Temple of No as a model Twine story because I like the multiple branches, and the comedy of the story. I would like my Twine story to reflect the options and branches, rather than just being very linear. The comedy aspect of this game is very interesting, as it kind of masks, but adds to the darker tones of the overall story.
I really enjoy this part of the game, as the sound effects really add to the overall view of the game, but increases the immersion of the player. It has ominous and spooky music, which really just ends up amplifying the effects the game entails.
Viral Assassin’s [[Click to Begin |Scene 1]] “Welcome to the VA. Most people know us as the disinfectors or the cure, but that’s not what we are known for. Singlehandedly wiped out the entire species of mosquitos that have been known to transmit viruses such as Ebola and Milaria. I heard that you were here to learn more about the process as a potential student in biology and geniology. Come now, follow me.” – Director [[Follow the Director |Scene 2]] As you follow the director down the hallway you notice many windowed rooms, with the patients in each one looking at you as if you had killed their puppies. With each passing room the patients look more and more ill, as well as having a longer stay in their respective rooms. [[Ask “What’s up with them?”|Scene 3]] [[Ask “What are you doing to these people?”|Scene 4]] “The patients have been kept for observation, either because we were the only ones that were able to cure them medically, or they were willing to be tested to advance our research. It’s truely honorable.” The Director Claims. [[Ask “Has anyone died yet from this research?”|Scene 5]] “What are we doing? These patients have been kept for observation, either because we were the only ones that were able to cure them medically, we are saving them. For others, they were willing to be tested to advance our research. It’s truely honorable.” The Director Claims. [[Ask “How many have died from this research?”|Scene 5]] “Surprisingly, as it may seem, we’ve only lost one patient, and she used to be a nurse for us. Her name was Nacy Shapel. It was very unfortunate, she was treating a patient we had given the ebola vaccine to after testing a specific transfer qualitys of the infection. Unfortunately for her she contracted it, and since we only had one dose we weren’t able to save her.” [[State “Wow that’s awful, hopefully her family atleast had the chance to say goodbye.”|Scene 6]] [[State “Yikes, I’m sorry to hear that.”|Scene 6]] [[Exclaim “That’s one too many!”|Scene 7]] “It was a tough loss to say the least, never the less the research must continue. As bad as it sounds one life lost to save millions of lives is a small price to pay. Right now we are developing ways to stop the common flu, and a newer form of the horsehair worm parasite. Ever since the genocide of the mosiqitos, this parasite has evolved in ways that are very scary to our current knowledge of nature.” [[Ask “What kind of traits is it exhibiting?”|Scene 8]] Double-click this passage to edit it.“They have been showing signs of biological growth, and genocidal take over within smaller animals. While we’ve kept them contained, the scientists in the labs have noticed strange behavior in the field mice that we conduct tests on. One of our biological studies for limb regeneration has actually shown that the parasite actually induces a fake growing limb to confide its host.” [[Ask “So basically this parasite will attach and form to the mice with missing limbs by benefiting its new host with a prosthetic limb?”|Scene 9]] [[Exclaim “That’s very interesting, what we going to do to prevent the current regeneration?”|Scene 10]] Different Story Paths and Endings Main Story Progression Line Double-click this passage to edit it.Double-click this passage to edit it.
