It's just a single page, yes! Due to the space constraints, I couldn't fit a more detailed and structured explanation of what the game is "meant" to look like. But I think that in a self-propelled experience, non-explicitness is good - at the end of the day, it's the player who determines what their experience with the game is. It asks the player to be a "game master" as well, if you like. It's okay if that's not for you!
Thank you! I'm really happy with how it turned out. I developed it forone of my children's books.
Hi! I was playing this game and enjoying it, and then (I was up to season 5 or 6) the game suddenly deleted my saved data?
Specifically, it cleared my game in slot 1 (it now says "start a new game in slot 1") and replaced slot 2 with a save at the very beginning of the game? (There's a "press A to redeliver" note that triggers the very first dialogue with the postwoman from season 1.)
Seems like a weird bug! I was enjoying the game a lot up until that point.
There are a few reasons I'm not currently charging for this game. One of them is that this game is over a decade old and I'm not really able to or interested in updating it for contemporary platforms. As such, I'd ask that people who want to support this game go buy one of the many other games on my profile. You don't even have to play it, I won't know.
The ambiguity is partly a result of the limited space available in one-page games and partly because I think leaving room for interpretation makes story games more flexible. Ultimately the two players are the arbiters of the experience they're going to have and the stories they're going to tell, so I'm okay with the rules not always being fully explicit about what my intention is. This is one case where I think the ambiguity makes the game better, so I am reluctant to give an "official ruling."
Yours feels like a very straightforward interpretation of the game's language, though!
