Hi! My name is Jacques Frechet. Thanks for playing my game! If you have any comments or questions or if something isn't working right, you can get in touch with me at zaphod@toastball.net.

This isn't a super-long game, but if you do need to undo or save or restore, your browser's back and forward buttons and bookmarks and so on should all work as expected. To play offline, save this web page to disk as an .html file; in some browsers, leaving the game open in a tab may also work.

The story has three… hmm, how should I put this? “Winning endings?” Sure, why not. Once you've found them, you might be interested in reading this self-indulgent and spoilerific blog post, or perhaps even the source code. The credits also mention some source material, but are less spoilery.

Thanks again to everyone who helped make this game possible!

Version history:

version 1.0.4: Added source code and blog post links.
version 1.0.1: Credits page now links to the list of ShuffleComp games; removed a stray bracket before the word "credits" in these notes; added "version history" section.
version 1.0.0: Initial ShuffleComp release.
