About Repeat the Ending
I mentioned my game yesterday. So what is it?
Repeat the Ending is an Inform 7 game (parser) that can be played offline or in a web browser.
The story: A young man with severe mental illness and magical powers must travel across a small, southern town to see his dying mother at the hospital.
The setup: Explore a "critical edition" of a failed 1996 IF game called Repeat the Ending, complete with footnotes, menu-based hints, critical essays, and more.
The extras: Read a transcript of the infamously buggy 1996 version of the game, consult an "Interdimensional Entity's Guide to Primeoid Fashion," and listen to an obnoxiously obscure playlist of 1990s indie rock.
Get more than you bargained for: Over 150,000 words of code, most of which no one will ever see!
O pretty: enjoy several pieces of attractive-yet-alienating art by Callie Smith!
Explore an all new, "critical edition" of a 1996 Inform 5 game about mental illness, magic, and the second law of thermodynamics. Features

Baby's first review
My game Repeat the Ending got its first review over at the community forum page. It was really nice! I hope I get a chance to hear from more players before Spring Thing ends. As a reminder, you can find not only my game but many others over at the Spring Thing website!

I'm waiting for a PM from somebody, but once I get it, that'll be it for me and Twitter. I will eventually learn to Tumblr I am sure. I think I am sure.
I have turned on anon questions in case anyone would like to ask me about Infocom or parser IF in secret, though it doesn't really seem like deep dark secret stuff, does it?
currently game developing out of spite
Meet the dev!
It's me, I'm the dev. I'm the only dev, actually. I'm making «Why Am I Here» by myself, learning Inform 7 from scratch using only the documentation and online resources.
Feel free to ask me questions about anything!
