The Conspiracy
Inspired by Reloaded.org's "Adventure Thread"
Version 1.2

6 endings, 4 paths, 5 ways to die, and even ways to get arrested.

It all begins with one paragraph.

Waking up in a dark hotel room.. With no memories, no recollection of who you are, and the body of an unidentfied woman lying in your bed.. an epic story begins. And the endings may surprise you.

What happens in the story.. is up to you. Steal cars, choose answers to your conversations, and even kill characters. The story is inspired by Reloaded.org's "Adventure Thread", the "Bourne" series, and "Shutter Island". Everything.. is not what it seems.

The game will take about 10-20 mins to complete, and about 30-40 mins to find all the other paths/endings. It's designed to be quick, while allowing a deep story and multiple replays. I challenged myself to make a unique, engrossing game, within a short time limit. The story ends in different ways, and is left open for possible sequels/prequels.

Do you have what it takes, to live The Conspiracy.. and survive?

Technical Information:
The Conspiracy is being made using the ChoiceScript system.
The game will play in a standard HTML page, so it could work offline/online.

Play:
The Conspiracy is now available to play online, and offline. This is the testing phase for version 1.0. I am hosting it on my Gamefeed server. Once some people have tested it on AR for a few days, I will submit my game to Choice of Games. They will then host the game on their site, and port the game to the iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad, and Android OS phones.

Remember, this is the full version. But before it goes online on Choice of Games, we need to make sure ALL bugs are fixed. So please report back any problems you may have. The game works best in Internet Explorer, and Firefox.

You open fire on the armed officers. Bullets begin flying around the hotel room. You manage to kill one of the officers, but your also shot 5 times. You fall to your knees, and collapse on the ground. Your last moments are spent lying on the hotel carpet.

Development is going WAY ahead of schedule. I already finished one ending. So the game "should" launch this week. As for length, the game will take about 10-20 mins to complete, and about 30-40 mins to find all the other paths/endings. It's designed to be quick, while allowing a deep story.

I've already contacted Choice of Games. They will host my game once it's finished, and they will also develop an iPhone/iPod/iPad and Android OS app for my game. I get 75% of the profit from the ads.

Sounds like an interesting game, Nick.  

And it's great that Choice Of Games are doing all that.  

[El Quia]

A "de rigueur" question....



will the choice "drink blood" be available at some point of the story?


Good luck with the development, Nick! I wish I had the time and energy for this one of these days

[Nick]

Possibly.

And development with this scripting simple is easy. It's only taken me a day to make this one ending.

[Frodo]

El is right.  

If it's based on Adventure Thread, it *must* have 'Drink Blood' availabe at least once.  

[Nick]

Writing is finished.

4 paths, 6 endings, 3 non-ending ways to die, 1 way to get arrested.

[Frodo]

Yippee

Updated main post, to reflect the new, official description.

YAY!  The infamous 'Drink Blood' line is there.

You lick some of the woman's blood... nasty. What will you do?

EDIT:  Typo?

When you shoot Smith in Terminal 9, you get the response
'You calmly walk away from the body, and getting ready to board the plane.'

Should that not be
'You calmly walk away from the body, and get ready to board the plane.'?

[Nick]

I actually had "get" originally. But for some reason, I edited it. Never rereading it. Thanks for spotting it.

And yes, I HAD to include "Drink Blood".

[Frodo]

I kinda got shot a few times.  


Time for my second run-through  


EDIT:  Typo?  Or Americanism?

You jump out the window.. and land ontop of a police car. Your bodyweight causes the windshield to shatter. Luckily, it appears you were on the second floor. So besides the minor cuts and bruises, your not injured.
