For the Game Jam, "Eat The Rich" :https://itch.io/jam/eat-the-rich,

I decided to make a game that the term Rich would be represented by numbers. Similar to what I did for the 18th day of NaPoGenMo/NaPoWriMo 2024, Where "Numerical Intentions" is coded in p5js and uses numbers in various bases to alter the poem: https://illestpreacha.itch.io/numerical-intentions.

This time, I decided to do something similar but in Twine. "What Number Are You Eating" follows a cyclical poetic journey that has the user feed their hunger by what number they believe can currently satisfy them. The true value of the number is only determined after the user chooses the richness of what they desire to consume. After this occurs, poetic prompts are introduced to impact what the user may "eat" next.
