Important note, you may need to turn your volume up higher than normal fangames due to the balance being adjusted for speakers.
This is my entry to the I Wanna Game Jam, it was made in two days and is also my first release. It is a special work containing a fairy tale written and told by myself. Please enjoy with the whole family, and with your audio on. Also, please do not upload screenshots other than the Title screen, wouldn't want to spoil the plot!
Also, here's a test you can do afterwards if you really want to about the story, cause why not?! https://forms.gle/wFZWv9Zzj8w18MHw5
Commentary: This game overall makes me very happy to claim as my first ever release. It's incredibly simple, really short, and doesn't even play like a fangame, yet I still feel as if it completely represents me perfectly. At the time I was making this for the Game Jam, I had a doctors appointment out of town and thus had even less time to create my entry, which thus sparked making something like this.
I think stories are some of the most important things to ever exist, and to me they were always an escape method to a more interesting life. It's no surprise perhaps that even my college degree is in English, or that the majority of my favorite games also have stories as well. This one in particular was meant to be rather simple to fit in the theme of a fantasy fairy tale, and while it's certainly nothing fancy it is the first story I have ever given to the world. Seeing people play it made me beyond happy because of such, this community certainly can bring someone joy.
Regarding the voice acting, while I am definitely not as an emotional speaker as a proper storyteller would be I could only see this game existing with doing the voice myself. This was a great challenge to me as due to my social anxiety I hardly ever speak in general, but such a personal touch felt necessary for my first release. On release this game was the only thing in existence that had my recorded voice, and this remains mostly true still, so thus in a way this game serves as the only proof of my existence.
As mentioned in the end I did at some point intend to make more of these, and while that hasn't happened yet I would still love to do so in the future. I haven't really decided how that would look like though, so I wouldn't count on it happening anytime soon. With that said, anthologies are wonderful because often other individuals can add onto it themselves, and by all means I happily encourage you to do so if you wish.

The power of stories. There is no "gameplay" and a story redacted with visuals made in 3 days tells you that it will be very simple, yet it has more charm than 90% of fangames.
Would love to see this series of games get more interactive.

The long awaited sequel to duck tales. Fun story with a lot of potential for future games in the same style. Good stuff

This fangame is the logical conclusion of Twitch streams insisting on advertising Audible to me.
It must be stressed that the only interactivity here is moving from screen to screen - changing the visual scene accompanying each section of story in the process - and triggering the sections of the plot via scrolls (signs that play audio clips, effectively).
I can appreciate what is being done here, but I can't shake the feeling this runs into the "What is a game?" semantics that the internet is so fond of. If anything, I wish this was part of a full experience, sections of story given like this between stages outlining an adventure game's journey, perhaps, but as it is right now, if you're looking for a game so to speak, I'd look elsewhere.

This is a type of interactive fangame I didn't know I wanted. You don't really get to play, but just sit back, and listen to a good story. There have been some story games made in the past but they usually only include text and as far as I know they are only available in Japanese (correct me if I'm wrong), so even if not perfect, this is a good first step.
If you're looking for an interactive story in English with an aiwana flavor, there's finally a choice for it right here!

Good story, can't say too much on this without spoiling so just listen to it yourself if you know english. It's also only like 10 min long.
There's no gameplay in this, basically just an audiobook which is pretty unique in terms of fangames.
Some improvements: Better audio for headphones and subtitles.
