Stranded (Part 1)
Stranded is a text adventure about having conversations with sailors on a ship.
This game is only part 1 and has been abandoned in favor of other projects. As it is, the game has no ending yet, but there is still a goal and a stopping point. Please try it out and let me know what you think in the comment section below.
It should be free from major bugs, but please let me know if you run into any hitches (especially if saves are failing or you find yourself in a situation where you can't progress).
Happy sailing!

This game is very well written, and enjoyable to play! Even when the plot can be frustrating at times, you still feel immense satisfaction when you get it right. Great job, looking forward to updates on this in the future.
Thank you so much! While this project has fallen a bit to the wayside in favor of other stuff I'm working on, you can expect more stuff with this writing style in the future. Thank you for following :)
Everything is working fine that I can tell.. Might work on the UI a bit (for example, an option to "cancel" when changing your mind about showing something from the log). Maybe something to keep additional notes, as well (for example, if I've already asked someone about someone else and nothing has changed since). The story line is definitely well laid out, even sometimes to the point of being almost frustratingly difficult to figure out how to proceed or what to do next.. But that's a good thing, a challenge to work to overcome and feel like you accomplished something when you do.
Oops! Seems I may have found a bug or three! But since I was well along n the game, I do no want to post any potential spoilers here. Is there some other place I can post?
The big bug is keeping me from being able to play at all anymore, however. It's leaving me with a mostly empty screen, and no options anywhere to do anything at all. Not even reset/reload/restart. If I refresh or reload the page, it goes right back to the mostly blank screen.
Thanks for playing, sorry about the blank screen. Can you send an email to rieson.blumer@gmail.com ?
With the name bit i entered my name i couldnt continue
Hi! Sorry about that. I'd like to figure out what the bug is, if you can help me with a few more details. During the name bit, did you enter a first name and a last name? And then you weren't able to press continue after that? Or did you get a blank screen or something like that?
I only entered my username: Mikee and it didnt say continue or anything like that ill try again
Im on mobile samsung s7 dont know if that helps....
I have tried again same problem😑
Oh, I see, sorry about that. I had actually never tested the game on mobile before (the game will probably look and work best on a computer). That said, I just tried it out on my phone (I have an iphone and was using google chrome) and it worked all right for me.
My guess is that it's not allowing you to scroll down after entering your first name. You should see an option below the letters to select either "clear" or "done" but it looks like those options aren't showing up on your device. Not sure why tho.
Thanks all the same for playing it and showing some interest in it. Definitely let me know if you're able to get it working.
