Just finished work on a short text game and wanted to hear some opinions. It’s a browser-based mystery where you gather clues to find a fugitive among the guests at a hotel. The interface is choice-based with an IF-style world model behind the scenes. The mystery itself is procedurally generated, with a different set of clues and solution for each play.

Nice game. I finished it in about 30 minutes.
Not very difficult. I picked the suspect on the first try at the end.
Good narrative and fun to play.
When finished, you should consider listing it in IFDB.

Thanks! I’ll definitely add it to IFDB at some point.
The difficulty can vary a little. I think the easiest possible game can be solved with three clues, e.g., The fugitive has brown hair; the brown-haired guest has green eyes; John Smith has green eyes. In some cases, it’s difficult enough that I have to jot down a logic table to work through it.
