Journey through an abandoned house and try to survive until you find a means to free yourself.

What Lies Within is a interactive fiction game where, you, the player will have to find a means to escape the house you have been trapped in before being lost forever. 

Details:

What Lies Within was made in Twine using Harlowe.

It takes around half an hour to complete the full game.

How the game plays out depends on the choices the player makes, and there are multiple endings, including a very quick end, available depending on these choices.

I love your way of describing things. You understood the 'show, don't tell' principle very well and I am inhaling every word of yours. Interactive Fiction in general is an amazing genre, I tend to like parser IF, but I am sold on your writing whatsoever! If localizing your story ever crosses your mind, please consider me for German! I'd love to bring your story to Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg, … … …

Thank you so much!! I haven't really thought about localising the story yet but I'll have to think about it now! 

I'll be here whenever it's time for it :)
Sadly I don't know many IF enthusiasts but I will spread the word whenever I can, really enjoyed it!
