So currently the title of my piece of interactive fiction is "The Island of Return." I can't say that I am completely satisfied with the name yet so it's apt to change.
I originally used RPG Maker AX but unfortunately I was unable to do what I wanted to do with the free version(it allowed you to do almost everything the paid version did except there were space constrains that I could not deal with) so I switched to Twine. Unfortunately the puzzles had to be removed but I replaced them with a different concept that may work even better.
The Plot of "The Island of Return" begins with you abruptly being saved by seemingly mouth-to-mouth resuscitation by a man named Michael. I wrote the story in a way that regardless if you are male or female the story works so that it is supposed to be you as the main character. The main character has amnesia. I know it may seem overused but there is a good reason for it. The story continues by making several choices that can lead you to an early end or get to the true story you read a letter which ends up leading you into a labyrinth that should be able to help get you off of this island. Throughout the labyrinth you will be required to avoid traps and make a series of choices that could cost the main character his or her life. By answering the questions correctly you have visions that until you make it til the end of the story will seem rather random and confusing, at least that was my aim. The only way to make it to the end is to make all the right choices. Honestly some of the choices may not make sense at the time but it all comes together. I don't want to reveal the ending here but once I am completely done with my piece I will post it in this blog for everyone to try. I am looking at there being between 6 to 10 endings depending on how I decide to layout certain choices. Good luck getting them all.
And if you do decide to play it...May the odds be ever in your favor!
