Well this is ALL kinds of intriguing. A CYOA with stats and an almost Twilight Zone-y feel? I hope it delivers, but I’m trying it ---

Gotcha, thanks for the info. Haven’t seen Sam lately but hope he’s doing well and the release is a good one for him. ---

Will Sam’s name be changed on his old stories so he has just the one author profile on the omnibus? Or does he have to explicitly sign off on something like that? ---

Personally, I’d recommend this beautiful, chaotic game brimming with profound sorrow, it’s given me something to think about. Incidentally, it’s rather amusing in its own way that here I can play a metal band singer who refuses alcohol, and only drinks water. ---

No, according to the author, HG said it was a little shorter than they usually like Steam games to be. Sometimes a game that does well in other markets gets a re-release on Steam later on, but it’s not something you can count on. ---

That is correct. As it says [on our website](https://www.choiceofgames.com/looking-for-writers/write-a-hosted-game/), 150k is the minimum length for an initial Steam release. ---
