I really enjoyed that, I am super looking forward to more :slight_smile:
I think you did a great job capturing the tense atmosphere under a militant rule. I love that youve shown Ira to struggle with the “just following orders” part of her position.

Definitely enjoyed the opening with the desperate hustle to avoid colors. Very realistic!

This looks like an interesting story to follow with a lot of potential. I found the atmosphere of militerism present throughout the first chapter interesting.

Looks really interesting. I did notice there is a really small error where Dunya’s name isn’t capitalized. Otherwise I like the writing!

@Doginacan had a quick question just more a curioisty/confirmation att the moment but I assume those of us getting concripted are high-school students correct? Have other questions brewing but thats it for the moment lol

Yes. The student guards were modeled after mandatory youth programs that have existed for high school and university students during authoritarian times.

Thank you for the question. I hadn’t realized the concept might be unfamiliar to some readers.

Fixed. Thank you for finding them.

I also edited some words for clarity, and removed the non-existent link at the ending.

Interesting start, though it’s too short/early to really give much feedback.

I feel like for a chapter 1, it could be longer/introduce more characters, perhaps.

Set more the scene of what school life is like for them before it’s disrupted, you know?

Really liked the start but I’m curious if this will have stats or be purely choice driven

At its current state, I don’t plan to use tabletop style stats like strength or intelligence.
What the game does track is your relationships and the impressions you leave on other characters. These variables will be hidden to keep the focus on the story.

All narrative branching will be handled by your choices, and the relationships you’ve built up.

Missed an opportunity for the student number to be 25 oh six two four (not exactly the right lyrics, but close enough). You came so close, too…

There isn’t much here for me to form an opinion, but I’d say this seems promising. As DiGreatDestroyer said, I think chapter 1 could do with being longer, maybe covering the basics of the society we live in, fleshing out Ira and Dunya a tad more, and/or briefly covering our character’s life so far.

I would also like to see what the normal life is like to the MC.

So how much of a “republic’ is this republic in practice?
