kjorteoIFComp time continues. Full disclosure: After the time I spent on Basilica de Sangre, I found this one by shuffling the entries and then scrolling down to the first one I found whose listed length was "15 minutes or less." I just kind of wanted something small and nibbly.
Haywire by Peregrine Wade is a short CYOA about a homeless street magician that quickly turns into a superhero story, or at least it can, depending on choices. Certain plot beats are railroaded, but the ending is not--you absolutely can lose the final battle and get yourself killed (or end up not running into that guy at all.) The good ending (or at least the one I got) is satisfying, and... yeah, this sure is a small and nibbly little thing all right. But it's good.
(Playing this one online totally works, by the way. Maybe Basilica de Sangre's site version was a unique problem? I'll experiment with this more. Three entries to go.)
