MADNESS OF THE COASTAL STRUCTURE: an Choice Chooser experience
A downloadable hypercard
"the first software where you choose choices"
In this adventure you play as a fictional character with the power to acquire items and traits in their adventure to solve the mystery of the coastal structure across 10,000+ words of THANATOIDAL STOCHASTICITY.
Face a slew of PG-13 threats with the power of brains, brawn, or bcharisma. Solve a fiendish riddle, unlock the mysteries of the Dollatic Reverence, match wits with the Time Medusa, and conquer state of the art prose beasts....or become one?
Remember to save often, for your death may be just around the corner...of your DEMISE.
Right-click or press Escape to access the menu. Press icons at the bottom of the screen to switch between saving, loading, and volume control.
May be more readable for some people in full screen. To full screen, look up the standard keyboard commands for your OS.
Let me know if there's any bugs and I'll eat em!
this is indebted to the ren'py hypercard framework and hypercard graphics pack by Eliote Gardepe (original graphics by Susan Kare?), as well as ren'py. thank you!!
i hacked the framework to have an inventory screen, dice rolling system, and other tweaks.

Hey there, loving the game! I was just wondering how you managed to change the menu text from the standard included in the Hypercard Framework at the start, I can't figure it out?
thank you! open options.rpy and search "style.default.font". "config.window_title" will change the title
thanks!
Fun game so far - love my new brain parasite! - but I also find myself unable to open the safe at the end of the tunnel. I think I know what the correct answer is, but every permutation I try only gets my face eaten by worms. Any assistance would be appreciated.
thank ya! did you try
sword?No, I did not - think I didn't read the clues fully enough. Thanks for the great game!
you're very welcome! enjoy!
I love this so much! Are there any other hypercard games online that you'd recommend?
thanks! hmm, I mostly forget, but I played the ray's maze world builder trilogy when I was a kid. and there's lots to check out here and on other sites:

My AV software keeps flagging the exe file and trying to quarantine it. False positive, i hope?
AV software flags most games made by a real person instead of a corporation. the same thing would happen with nearly any other EXE on itchio.
I don't know what this game is, but I love it.
yeah!!!!
I actually really love this game. However, I did get stuck after finding out the solution to the riddle given. I have no idea what to do with the information I have now so I'm going to try and restart to see if I can get past exploring the entire building we land near in-game. Any tips would be appreciated!
thank you! ::]
SPOILERS:
have you tried the safe?I have no idea what I'm getting wrong - I've literally entered every possible solution.
SPOILERS:So I opened the safe that leads into the tunnel but I can't open the safe inside the tunnel. No matter what I input, the face worms kill me.face worms!! 😋
no worries, sent the answer to your Twitter, let me know if that doesn't work
Ooooo can’t wait to play...always look forward to your stuff porp
🔭💜!!!
fun!!
funfunfunfun!!!
Absolutely amazing looking! Would you ever share the tweeks you made to the system?
thank you! you mean the code snippets in renpy?
Yes slime queen!
so my code is garbage and im sure a lot of people could do it better but this is how i did the dice and inventory:

images referenced are from the hypercard graphics kit
it probably takes knowledge of renpy/the hypercard skin to know how to fully hook it up but hopefully that points you in the right direction!
Graphics are very unique
hypercard is beeyootiful! 😍
