Author Comments

You awaken to find yourself strapped to a cactus out in the mojave. You've got a killer headache, no clothes, and no idea what exactly happened the night before--though you reckon it was probably your own damn fault.


How did you get there?


Where are you gonna go?

Questern is an audience participation web comic series in the style of an old school text adventure game. I will be paying attention to user comments and selecting ones I like as input commands for our protagonist. I may even pick yours!

Huh, quite the interesting little game! Reminds me a lot of those goofy web comics, forum collab works or CYOA stories like Homestuck, or games like the Loathing series. It's a bit of a bummer that I'm not making any choices and am just reading a story, so I somewhat struggle to call it a game, per se, but nevertheless it is a rather charming story with very goofy and amusing art and prose.

I am a bit torn though: as much as I do like the experimental process of audience participation and all that jazz, it's only the lucky ones that come in when it is still being written and not only suggest options, but have their suggestions integrated into the book, that have the most fun. For everyone else, they're just reading a book that isn't finished yet and so have to wait unsatisfied, or feeling bad that their suggestion didn't get selected, or, someday eventually, just reading a completed book, which as funny as it is, has no interactivity to it. Not saying you shouldn't keep what doing what you're doing: shine on you crazy diamond! It's just that I am one of those unlucky ones that is feeling a bit unsatisfied, as much as I do think it is a charming story.

Not the creator but I helped with the UI. The story is still ongoing! The description has the link to Laken's suggestions thread. I'd recommend reading up to the latest page before posting there, but the story is still fairly early on and there's plenty of opportunity to jump in and give suggestions on where it goes next :)

Silly western game :)

Hey, thanks for including that Hamlet/'SEND NUDES' suggestion I made.
That one was really off the wall and I appreciate that you used it all the same.

Nice to see something that is simply silly, 5/5

Suggestion: make zebra noises
