Status : Offline | tl;dr I'm launching an online gamebook, and need to make sure it isn't broken, and need suggestions for improvement.
If you can help, please email me or PM me. I'll give you a link and a code to unlock stuff. The game is online and very simple, so should only a take a few minutes.

The test version has Journey To The Centre of The Earth and The Picture Of Dorian Gray. When it launches I will add new content every day, a new story every week.
About gamebooks:
The genre is best known for the "Choose Your Own Adventure" series, but that's a trademarked name so I can't use it. Gamebooks are much older than CYOA. Colossal Cave and other IF are the same kind of thing. (In fact, my first story takes place in caves. )
How this game is different:
- It's online: no downloads, no platform issues.
- It starts instantly: no plugins, no waiting, no Flash.
- Because it is so simple I will add a new chapter every day, and a new story every week. The stories all connect, as far as possible. This is probably its most unique feature. It's like a daily web comic, except you choose what happens.
- It includes a guide to make your own stories. If others make stories I will host them on the site.
- Your decisions are scored on your bravery, intuition, or romance (depending on the book). You can print off certificates and compare your score with your friends.
If anyone has a few minutes to look at the test version and give some feedback I'd be very grateful. As I said, email of PM me for a link and password.
Thanks!
