🚀 Inspiration

Event Horizon was envisioned as a Sci-Fi adventure game where users journey past a wormhole to explore the final frontier! The concept of a one-way trip with only a single message to send back intrigued me—how could it be used to its fullest potential? 🤔

Then it hit me—this is kinda like Interstellar! 😆 The idea was exciting and seemed simple enough, so I decided to bring it to life. Little did I know... this would be a mammoth task! 🏗️

🎮 What it does

Event Horizon is a community-driven, choose-your-own-adventure game built using WebViews on Devvit.

✨ Key Features:

  • 🛠️ Create Stories – Craft and build your own narratives with the intuitive node-based story editor.
  • 🌍 Share & Explore – The community can create, share, and explore each other’s adventures.
  • ⚖️ Choice Matters – Players navigate stories, reaching either a Good Ending or a Bad Ending.
  • 📜 The Log Book – Players who reach a Bad Ending can send a 15-character message back through the wormhole to guide future explorers.
  • 📖 Community Wisdom – These cryptic messages are stored in the Node-Based Log Book, accessible to all players for strategic decision-making!
