Have you ever wanted to change the past? Did you ever feel that life wasn’t going the way it was supposed to? Paradox Factor puts you into the role of a young scientist who has uncovered the secret of time travel. Past loves? Terrible tragedies? Deceased friends? The choices are yours to make, but will you be able to live with the consequences?
Paradox Factor is a short nontraditional interactive science fiction story about time travel. I’m looking for beta testers.
It doesn’t crash (I hope), so I’m looking for other things: spelling, grammar, logic errors, improved descriptions, suggestions, better flow, better explanation…
If you are able to help me with these things and are the type of tester who will send me errors and suggestions (as opposed to just playing the game and telling me it worked), please email me at: mike_walter at bell dot net and I’ll send you the link. Please use my email and not the forum mail to send me feedback thanks.
I’m up for it. I usually have a keen eye for spelling and grammar mistakes, and should be able to help with the other things. Sounds like an interesting game!
When doing the closed beta it didn’t really look like much more needed ironing out. A second opinion could help, but I doubt you will need much more testing. Unless the game has changed, which I highly doubt, it should be ready for publish
I came across a few hiccups while I was playing; most of them had to do with the pronouns used for the player character and their love interests. There were also a few problems with keeping track of who was deceased and who was not.
I would offer to track those down more thoroughly, but I don’t have the time to beta test anything right now. Anyone who does offer to help should keep an eye out for those things, however.
Oh my goodness, I loved this game. There was some pronoun switching like Tom says her… and other stuff but other than that I didn’t see mistakes. I liked the little mystery of figuring out what to do and I got the ending: Paradox Factor.
Updated. I searched for various pronouns ( “he”, “she”, “his”, “her”… etc), so I think I’ve found them and fixed them. I’ve gotten responses from two testers (thank you!), and fixed those too. I’m eager to find any and all mistakes. I’m a perfectionist (well, so my stories, anyway) and
it would frustrate me to leave any mistakes.
I’d be happy for any other beta testers with keen eyes. See first message for instructions.
Email me where these errors are so I can fix them.
