S-so I’ve finally decided to post this…
After being inspired by many people/shows/things and spending the last 2 hours agonizing on whether I should post this or not, I’ve finally built up the courage to make my own game. I’m super nervous to put this out there and I know it’s not very good right now(there’s probably a ton of punctuation and grammar mistakes…I might have rushed things too) but I’ll work hard to hopefully make this at least enjoyable to someone out there…lol. The project right now is in the VERY early stages. I’m still working things out and learning how to code, stats are also probably all over the place. I may end up rewriting what I have or maybe even adding more choices.
Premise:
After being left alone for most of your life, thanks to some strange powers that have deemed you a monster, you’re suddenly thrown into a prison facility, known as the Foxglove Institute, for a crime you committed and it seems that your only way out, is to trust a group of strangers who each have their own problems to deal with.
The Caged Songbird will hopefully be a series of interactive fiction books. The main focus will be romance, friendships and family.
Possible Warnings:
None of these will be too extreme, I just wanted to put a warning just in case anyone might be uncomfortable reading about any of these.
