A Conversation in a Dark Room
Updated 9/13/2025: Bug fix: fixed a bug where you received +7 hatred in a certain passage
Update 9/6/2025: Bug fix: Fixed Broken Link that Appeared in some playthroughs
Someone is supposed to die tonight.
You're sitting across from a man in an unfamiliar place. It's dark. You don't know his name.
This is a choice-based interactive text game.
This is also my first-ever finished Twine game and my first-ever submission to the Interactive Fiction Competition (2025)!
I tried to make this an immersive experience. There is no sound in this game, but I have selected a few YouTube videos if you want to add some cool ambiance in the background:
- classic jazz from the 1940s playing in a cozy lounge on a rainy night
- COCKTAIL BAR • A Night at the Counter of a Jazz Bar • Ambient Nois
- Midnight Noir Jazz | Moody Vibes for Smoky Nights
- Dark Jazz | Noir Music Sessions | Relax Music

Hi.
I’m wondering why, if you don’t have
$hatred > 4and you hesitate before the final scene, you just get set to hatred 7 and can’t get any of the other endings?Hi, I apologize, that was a bug (I messed up the code after doing some trial runs and didn't notice). But I fixed that, so it should be good now!
Brilliant!
