@OdicHastings, I think gosub_scene is fairly new: New features in ChoiceScript: *gosub_scene, *goto_scene label
I’m glad it reminds you of RE1–that was a big influence on my design. When it comes to survival horror games, I prefer Silent Hill to Resident Evil, but something about RE1’s design really appeals to me.
Hmm, I’ll see what I can do about the combat. Another person who tried it said she was afraid she was caught in a loop during the first battle, which feels like a related issue to this.
