Feedback:
A lot of the feedback given to me was conceptually based. Bear had given me some really strong advice! She said “Try to actually make it a maze” which I interpreted as something to confuse people with. In turn, I decided to make my story extremely confusing. As you can see, I only have one path fully started. However, it is extremely long and will eventually lead to a losing ending. There is going to be one very specific path that really will rely on the reader’s luck. I hope to put humor into every single thing though, to keep it entertaining throughout.
Class story
Your find yourself in the most unfortunate cliche. Escape the room, get out, go home, fuck off.
Unfortunately it's not that simple... you have to actually figure it out. It's like a maze! They call it an escape room but it feels like it's expanding, growing, breathing.
What do you do?
[[Get out]]
[[Go home]]
[[Fuck off]]

Wow you're funny! Isn't profanity fun. Here, say it out loud! FUCK OFF! This is a class assignment but I can swear because it's art!
Anyways, back to business. You fuck off. What does that mean?
Well it can mean a whole bunch of things. Do something else, leave the room, leave the room angrily, quickly leave the room, etc.
[[Leave the room]]
[[Leave the room angrily]]
[[Quickly leave the room]]
[[etc.]]
Okay! See it isn't that hard. Just leave the room.

Wow, good choice I guess. Etc.
I mean, it means a whole bunch of things? Do you want me to list them out and try and make this escape room larger, or do you just want to try again. I can tell you for sure this path will not win the game for you.
[[What does it mean]]
[[Beginning ]]
Well it could mean:
[[Leave the room]]
[[Exit the space]]
[[Fly on out of there]]
You exit the space. Little did you know, as the average reader, that I meant space and time! Haha! You're stuck in an infite dark vaccuum. Some would call this the bad ending! Start over you scrub.
[[Beginning ]]
You start levitating. Cool. There is a window on the left wall that is locked.
[[Try to unlock it]]
[[Fly super quickly towards it]]
You fly towards the window, it doesn't seem to unlock. What did you expect an easy exit?
You slowly find your way back to the ground, unfortunately your dream of flying was not forever
Since your character didn't die you get to go back a couple turns! Lucky you!
Or you can start over?
[[Fuck off]]
[[Beginning ]]
Have you ever seen a bird hit a window?
Well you just lived it! You're dead, window to face is not a great combo.
[[Beginning ]]
See how that worked! You see a door ahead of you. Was it always there?
[[Why is there a door]]
[[Open door]]
[[Beginning ]]
Your hand goes towards the doorknob.
Please work Please work Please work
[[Turn doorknob left]]
[[Turn doorknob right]]
Great question, I was wondering that myself.
[[Just leave the room]]
Click it opens, confusing huh! Usually they go to the right. Funnily enough I have a door just like that at my home in Nahant. It pisses off all of my friends.
[[Argue with the narrator about practibility of a doorknob that turns left]]
[[Open the door]]
It doesn't work.
You gotta restart because of this one mistake? Haha that sucks.
,
[[Beginning ]]
[[Argue]]
Come on, I'm just a college kid writing a story. Just go along with it. Actually, you know what, the narrator is UNHAPPY with you.
Go back to the beginning bud!
[[Beginning ]]

I'm pretty displeased with the actions of our player character. It seems he/she is really trying to fight with me, the narrator, the god of this world?
Haha, good luck buddy, I'll let you restart this one time if you want. Maybe you'll guess the right path this time
[[Fight]]
[[Beginning ]]
Time pauses. Woah, how cool. It's like the Matrix.
Suddenly you feel a surge of energy, maybe the narrator is thinking "let's give the Player a weapon to try and fight me, make it some more even footing"
[[Sword]]
[[Spear]]
[[Gun]]
[[Fists]]
You lunge at the narrator with the sword.
He reposts with his bare fists and counter attacks with a blow to the leftside of your ribcage. It breaks
You still have some strength. With a primal yell you swing the sword above your head at the narrator.
It goes right through him...
Is he god?
Lighting strikes you in the head, it turns out he is god.
You suck and get killed though, sorry not sorry.
[[Beginning ]]
A wooden stick with a sharp rock on the top? Is this really what I'm using to take on this narrator guy?
Whatever
You charge foward at him with all of your might
He dodges and counterattacks with a punch to the right temple
You dodge and try and connect the spear with his left arm
It Hits! Uh-oh it goes through him?
Lightning hits you
