this game is really unique... it seems to have hundreds of branches depending on your actions. What is really, really great about the game is that each time you choose something that is moraly wrong thinking it will bring you momentary benifits, but than painfully realize how in the long run it brings you in more and more trouble. It's kinda a moral test for the player. I guess if your character is in deep trouble at the end, then that's because you choose the dishonest and selfish choices.

Oh... and if you ever want to translate it into german, i can help you with that

We're really glad you liked Masq Der Tor. Thanks for offering translating it to German. It would be great! Let's stay in touch. My mail is jjm@alteraction.com

Just finished the Online demo... Masq is very promising and interesting to play and the multiple choices make it intriguing enough to engulf a player into seeing what comes next I must be honest though when I saw that this game was online only.. wich is a shame really cause that may disuade some people to play it (I myself was a bit a backtrack when it said it was online only even with the 5 episodes downloaded ^^; ). Still that dosen't make it less interesting *smiles*

I can only hope this project remains free and that one day it might have a stand alone version.. in the meantime I wish you the best and the good work on the continuation or work in this project. I might try the full version later when I have time. ^^

I really like this game because it is so much fun to play. I just haven't figure out how to find the wife cheating on you. If anyone can find it please tell me,

WOW... i didn't even know she was cheating...

The only thing that i know which gets close, is that when you go to prison, you have the option to ask your wife to persuade her boss to drop the charges... she will than sleep with him... but i don't know if that counts as cheating, since you kinda asked for it.

This VN's a masterpiece in gameplay. The graphics are nothing special (but still not bad), audio is non-existent and there're no deep philosophical discussions or aww-inducing romantic scenes, but the sheer amount of possible outcomes and plotlines is amazing. I've played 4 times so far and each time it was a completely different storyline. Right to the root. I've been a loving husband, a Don Juan, a murderer and a regular successful businessman so far. I like how sometimes not only your choices but random chance and speed seems to determine the outcome so you can't just follow the usual VN trial-and-error routine to find every possible ending.

WOW... i didn't even know she was cheating...

Whether she does depends on how you built up the plot.

would you know how to build that plot?

I seriously stink at this game...

it only now occurs to me that this game is kinda like "Lola rennt" (Run Lola, run)
