Extremely creative text-based game that provides a realistic view into what Type 1 diabetes is like to live with everyday, while giving you a world to explore. I want to echo that the ASCII art and status windows were really unique additions! Glancing over to see your blood sugars jump 2 points and start panicking... It gave a text-based game a sense of urgency I hadn't experienced before. Loved it! Looking forward to seeing future updates!4 found this helpful
I enjoyed what i did play. Good design choices. Slightly limited on creativity but not too bad. Still some bugs to work out.3 found this helpful
For a 5E text-based game. It has a lot of interesting stuff and a quite few commands. It's too early to recommend it or not but I will get back with edit. It has potential.2 found this helpful
i just finished my first run i got 0 days survived but i found it fun and interesting. i love the music in the background and the status window, the art made in the other window is also great. great game :)2 found this helpful
