It doesn't work in my browser. Shame. I really felt like wasting some time just now.


What browser are you using?


What was your most interesting ending?


Rejecting the terms of service(at the medicine cabinet)

Getting to work - which would have been more impactful if I did not make it the first ending I reached

Social credit score was too low to travel

Bigger spoiler: you can import the game data in the tw-storydata tag into https://twinery.org/2

Just spent 10 minutes throwing out food before I read this :D
