Seeking testers for Being There - a short experimental notgame
JordanMagnuson
Games (www.necessarygames.com), and have been working on my first
piece of interactive fiction -- a very short existential piece
inspired by living in Korea. I'm having a terribly hard time finding
people to test the thing, so I would be incredibly grateful if any of
you could take a look, and provide feedback.
I've been testing the game myself, but seeing as this is my first
effort, I'm sure there are a bunch of things that I'm stupidly
overlooking.
This really isn't a game, so you may absolutely hate it. I'd still
appreciate your feedback though!
It's got pictures so it's in glulx format (gblorb container), and can
be downloaded from:
http://www.necessarygames.com/my_games/being_there/being_there_002.gblorb
The thing is very short, as I've said, and will only take you a few
minutes to play through. Thanks so much for taking the time, and I do
apologize for any stupid mistakes!

The link has mime-type issues, I think--FF and Safari both try to
download it as a text file. I was able to download it after some
effort, but especially for people who are trying to download through
google groups (which wraps the link), this may be a real obstacle.

Chrome, which doesn't seem to have any problems with it, but I should
have checked other browsers.
In any case, here's a zipped version of the file with a minified link:

If your web server is Apache and you can do .htaccess files, put these
lines in one for MIME-friendly IF serving:
AddType application/x-zmachine z1 z2 z3 z4 z5 z6 z7 z8
AddType application/x-glulx ulx ULX
AddType application/x-blorb blb BLB blorb BLORB
AddType application/x-blorb;profile="zcode" zlb zblorb
AddType application/x-blorb;profile="glulx" glb gblorb
AddType application/x-tads gam GAM
AddType application/x-t3vm-image t3 T3

You can also try posting the game in the appropriate place
on the intfiction.org forum.
