Description
**UPDATE***
If the game is not working for you, it might be because it's making an external text call. You can download an older version of the swf (with no external text call) directly here: http://reality-tunnels.com/gods_assassin.swf
It should be playable with this Flash player here: https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/debug_downloads.html
Please send me a private message if you still can't get the game working!
****
A text-based "Choose Your Own Adventure"-style interactive fiction game loosely based on a novel I've been writing and rewriting for about 17 years. So if you ever find yourself thinking, "Wow, this reads like it was written by a 13-year-old," well, you're not far off!
It's set in the same universe as Thousand Dollar Soul; you don't need to read that one first, but if you did, you'll probably notice a few small crossover elements.
Those who are easily offended should be warned that God's Assassin pokes fun at religious concepts pretty mercilessly. If you're curious as to what my real beliefs are, you can learn more than you ever cared to know at we-are-1.net.
How to Play
Click options and get an ending! Then use the back buttons to get different endings, and try to figure out what the hell is going on.
Developer Updates
Quick update: I am currently writing a non-interactive novel titled โReality Tunnelsโ that will serve as a direct sequel to both Thousand Dollar Soul and Godโs Assassin, tying these two stories together. This novel is at least a few years away from completion (itโll probably be longer than all paths from both games combined), but the main events are all planned out, and Iโm starting on the first draft now. It will be free to read once finished. For the purposes of Reality Tunnels, Ending #4 in Godโs Assassin is considered the โrealโ ending. You can read a brief summary of the trilogyโs timeline at reality-tunnels.com. Cheers!

It's quite interesting to play this game in the year it takes place in, 2020. It's surprisingly accurate.
Yeah, it is kind of weird how much of the plot of this game involves a deadly virus being released in the year 2020...

I would like to get all the endings, but at the same time I'm often just too incapable of making my fictional avatar do the things required to get them. It was already difficult enough gritting my teeth and telling other me to call the police (I've seen movies before, I'm not stupid), now you're expecting me to grab the parachute and let the otter and kitty (and I guess the hot chick) die? I can't do this man, I'm still recovering from having to publicly admit to wanting to read victoria's secret. It's too much pressure!

It would not have been possible for me to write this without the inspirational influence of Terry Pratchett. When I first stumbled across the quote that's now in the loading screen, I hadn't even started writing this draft yet, but it just fit so perfectly with what I wanted to say that I knew I had to open with it. I even decided to add an otter character to the story purely because of that quote. RIP, Terry Pratchett -- you may be gone today, but your impact on this world will never be lost.

Holy crap, it's finally live! I've been working on this stupid story for more than half my life. I hope you enjoy it -- please leave comments!
