Narrative Games

Spent

This game was very eye-opening and can be a powerful learning tool if used in the classroom properly. Every day I was met with a choice, some were small choices only costing a few dollars and some were big. By day 9, I was barely staying afloat and had to make a choice to ignore a bill because I didn't have enough money in my bank account to pay the bill. This leads to a future of poor credit and having a harder time getting a job. When it came to choices of purchasing anything extra or going to a wedding, I had to decline just to make sure I could hold on to every penny possible. To make it to the end, with the amount of money I had in the bank, I basically had to do as much as possible with as little money as possible when the choices came. 

Gods Will Be Watching

The first couple of times of playing this game, I did not make it past a day. First time was due to hypothermia from not keeping the fire going (somehow, I never even noticed the fire pit). After the second try, I made it further, but I lost the psychiatrist on day 37 and then the engineer left the next day. I found it hard to get everything accomplished each day and I am not sure how to keep the psychiatrist and engineer happy so that they do not leave.
