…and a beginning to this end. listen, herald, and speak -- i implore, speak:

Compendium III is the final chapter of a volume dedicated to stories of the decline. This gilt-golden age of magic and doctrine, empire and war is dying. These things were preordained in premonition long ago and recorded thusly.

Created for the Neo-Twiny Jam (2025), with the stipulation that the game be shorter than 500 words in length, Compendium III is precisely 500 words in length, excluding code.

Neo-Twiny Jam 2025

Returning for a third edition! Still fundraising for LGBTQ+ organisations! Come make a Tiny Game for charity!

The Neo Twiny Jam is an Interactive Fiction Jam with one rule:

Don't write more than 500 words.

Any type of Interactive Fiction is welcome, from any kind of IF system/format, regardless of genre/theme.

You are not limited to Twine only. Use any program you want as long as the output is interactive fiction.

NSFW content is acceptable (NSFW themes must be clearly indicated in the submission).

Sounds, graphics and code are not included in the word count.

No AI/LLM generated content, incl. game cover/title card.

No Hate/Spam submissions.

You must credit any asset used.

The Neo Twiny Jam will run from June 1st 2025 (12:00 AM/00:00 EST) to June 30th 2025 (12:00 AM/00:00 PST).

This Jam is unranked.

The inspiration for this jam comes from Porpentine's Twiny jam, which ran in 2015. During the original three-week jam, creators were asked to submit a Twine game with no more than 300 words.

Like the previous years, I will be matching the number of entries into a donation to an LGBTQ+ charity - Trevor Project and SAGE. Please contact us if you would like to donate as well.

Join the Jam!

We will track entries on Tumblr with the #neotwinyjam, but you can also tag @neointeractives/@neo-twiny-jam!

oh my god tamber i just finished the demo and it's amazing. i don't want to say all my favorite parts for fear of spoiling it for those who haven't played yet, but omg!! the twine port is fantastic (those text effects!!!!), the new changes and additions to the story are wonderful. my poor wet rat of an mc is having the absolute worst time, but im having a blast

off to recommend this to everyone. i love all the little details. i laughed, i cringed. i haven't cried yet but i feel like it's only a matter of time in the coming chapters, haha. i can really tell so much thought and care went into this game. hope you have a wonderful evening and thank you for making this! 💚

ARLO!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the twine port brings me so much joy. working with grayson has been so fantastic; he is so keenly observant and notices little details from the design of 2077 and then thinks to integrate them and i'll find it to be something i've never even realized was there before, but is so integral to the game's design! he is so immensely thoughtful and helpful and it just makes me so freaking happy that you like the port!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

i am so, so happy to hear that you like the changes and additions to the story, like to the extent that i might cry a little because i'm so excited LOL. i'm having a lot of fun writing this now and i really am so stoked about giving your wet rat of a merc the worst time of their life ; - ; THANK YOU!!!!!!!

[lifesupreme-if]

Congrats on the port release Tamber!!

lil q: where can I report bugs?

because clicking the restroom in passage GoCry reload the same passage even after picking it? Unless it's done on purpose, in that case SORRY NEVERMIND!!

thank you so much manon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

for compliments on the UI, implementation of text effects, or anything else: people can contact grayson directly @thirtybythirty.

however, for bugs, you are in the right place! i have asked the big rat who makes all of da rules (code), and he has stated that this one is intentional. no need to be sorry at all!

thank you so freakin' much!!!!!!!!

[lifesupreme-if]
