Played many a game on this site and other sites and always felt it was missing something or they were too short. So I decided to try to make one myself. OOPS It is not that easy :) So this is my first game (ever) in Twine.
It is not a finished game, so expect some empty passages and possibly some bugs here or there.
Basically I'm uploading to see if this is something people like, or hate, or whatever. So please let me know.
A game centered around a young girl Lizzy who ran away from home as she did not want to make a choice between her mum and dad when they decided to split up.
She ended up in Amsterdam, a city with a lot of opportunites, but not per se for a young girl.
It is up to you to guide her through all the influences of the city and stop the corruption of a young girl.... or not :)
It is a large file with many .webm files in it and some .jpg files.
This is currently version 0.8.8.52 - I just call it that way to keep track of development really.
Game is updated; 25/05/2022 with Version 0.8.8.52 - New version with bugfixes
You need to download the new HTML file (V0.8.8.52) as well as the DATA file (1+Gig).
Just unpack and play. The html file goes on top of the Amsterdam folder - not in it! Please READ the install instructions included in the Data file if you are not sure.
Really appreciate all the replies both positive and negative; Please check the forum section, the Walkthrough section and the ingame Hints section for any questions. A lot of the questions in the reviews below have already been answered; e.g. makeup can be bought from the Mall, not the general store.
Thanks again for all the feedback so far.

You've lived all your life in a small village adjacent to The Lake District. You never realy been to a big city as mum and dad told you Liverpool and Manchester were full of dangers.
But a week after you turned 17 you're parents got divorced and you were forced to choose who to live with. There was no right or wrong choice, still whatever choice you wanted to make felt wrong, as if you were cheating on the other parent.
---------
So that is the start and Lizzy ends up in Amsterdam. Will she be able to not fall into the dangerous downward spiral of drugs, sex, prostitution and the like? It is up to you.
You, the player who is trying to kee afloat in the beautiful city of Amsterdam.
Many others, of whom some will try to help you, but most will try to gain something, which usually is money and they need a tool for that.
Some Hints:
- Makeup can only be bought from ICI Paris at the mall, Lipstick and Nailpolish can eb bought from the general store as well as ICI Paris.
- Please visit the forums (Link at the left side) as most of the questions you may have will have been answered (likely already several times :)).
- Not all items have a function yet. Check out the ingame hints section for info on most items.
- Morale is the main driver for your pay in each job. the better your morale, the higher your pay. For most jobs addiction is a negative multiplier, meaining it reduces your pay.. for most jobs.

The latest changelog here (V0.8.8.44):
- When Lizzy is on her period while working behind the window, she will now tell her customers and offer a BJ or anal in stead. Depending on the customer and some random rolls etc they either reject her or choose to have some other form of paid sex. Added some new text and code for this. - ty BBZ01

- Fixed Summers progress. It now stops at 18. It was supposed to go up to 30, but due to some errors, missing images and screw up from my side, I cannot fix it until I upload a new DATA file without it looking stupid imo, so I decided to lock it at 18 for now. It will continue to 30 (or maybe further if I have the time) in the next update. Also fixed the topless issue. Lizzy now truly can only meet Summer when wearing a bikini. - ty BBZ01 and many others.

- Corrected many, if not all... probably not... instances of bucks. They all have been changed to Euros. - ty EAngelinaC

- Taking the bus to go to the Museum now costs 4 Euros everywhere and having a museum card now actually does something. Also, some typos corrected as well as textual inconsistencies. - ty EAngelinaC

Well it looks like this game might be abandoned soon it appears burning patron page is no more so updates will now be even fewer than before. I like the game and still think it a good game but now with patron stepping in that seems to be an end for it.
The plot sounds interesting however I couldn't figure out how to unlock locations. The only places I had unlocked were the ones unlocked with the map. I mean there has to be more then a park, pub, library, mall, flowershop, and a shop. No explore button no nothing. oh and the second day I was raped in the shower at the apartment????? I mean I understand the bus stop, the park, an alleyway, but seriously in the shower in the middle of the day in the apartment building? I mean in 30 minutes of playtime all I have come across is working a boring job and getting raped. Maybe if there was a guide or better hints then I would give it another go otherwise I am going to have to pass
I tried to like this game. I really wanted to like this game. There's so much about this game that I should like. But it's all destroyed -- and I mean razed to the ground in flaming ashes -- by a progression system that turns the whole thing into a grind. Oh and not just a grind, but a completely pointless and useless grind because no matter what you do you (or at least no matter what I've done in six very different playthroughs) all the grinding in the world just briefly staves off a bad end.
In order to salvage this wreck and make it something worth playing, the jobs need to A) pay a lot more, B) provide actual progression that can keep up with spiraling rents, and C) allow you to work a regular job and get a side gig. Otherwise it's as brutal and pointless as any game I've ever played in any genre.
There are a lot of good points. The whole thing is potentially interesting, and it potentially has potential, if that makes sense. But there's no excuse for a 0.8.8.31-stage game to be this fundamentally broken. I'll check it out again if and when dramatic - DRAMATIC -- adjustments are made to the difficulty level, or a liberal cheat system is enacted. but until then I'd rather whack myself in the face with a board than have this thing on my hard drive.
Literally can't find anything good. Too much you gotta do, too expensive. A complete boring grind where the jobs suck and once you finally make it to the good scenes you get a bad end. At least add a cheat engine so we can skip ahead, this is one grind I'll gladly skip lmao
I like this game very much. I am looking forward to the sequel and know that there is a new version on Patreon. But it is a pity that the author has stopped appearing on the TF forum.
I want to wish him a) return to TF b) collect rather 2000 dollars, which he collects for a multilingual game. and c) translate the game in Twine 2
