this is ISOTO: In Search Of The One

The game runs completely using gmail and google sheets (apps script is a part of google sheets). It follows you as Nephis. Due to too much time it was taking, i could only make the one for female character (❁´◡`❁) do forgive me. I’ll be still working on this project after shipping it. Currently only Act 1 has been completed. I have planned for it to have 4 acts. So consider this a part 1 on the project…..

what was hard?

first question i had after looking at the event was what kind of magic mod do you use inside these things to make an entire game inside of google sheets and gmail. So i found out YOU CAN ACTUALLY RUN JAVASCRIPT INSIDE OF GOOGLE SHEETS. That was at the same time hilarious and awesome. The first phase of this project was set to researching dating sims….. “(Ahem- i did not play and binge 2 dating sims straight up one as a girl and one as a boy)” then i decided to put my supreme maths skills to use by creating a formula for love: “a love formula” (it has a nice ring to it). i then needed characters and different personas so i created a form and sent it to some of my friends. i got 5 responses and decided to make 5 characters. Then came lore writing: the hardest part……… i know my lore isnt all that niche and unique and my writing is quite bad (i’ve been bad at it at school too thats how i lose most of my marks in the english paper) but yeah JUST KNOW THAT I TRIED MY BEST!!!!!!!!!

how to play:

url: https://mail.google.com/mail/?view=cm&fs=1&[email protected]&body=code%3Aisoto
This will redirect you to gmail to send a gmail that will begin the game……

One important thig to note is that you should have only 1 google acocunt logged in. It is a bug from google’s side………

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a great time making this…. It was tbh kind of exciting…. and most of all i can now flex i made a damned dating sim inside gmail hahahahahahah!!!!!!!!!! (nvm the villain laugh) thanks to @cskartikey for this event!!! :)

created a google form

link: https://forms.gle/c8yHR8vJa52b6gAdA
only 8 questions
I created a google form (completely anonymous one) to gather data on how do people actually feel about some topics that weigh heavily on my heart when i am encountered with them.

i plan on creating a story that actually touches you somewhere so to create the storyline i decided to gather data on it. please fill it it would help a lot to the project

i Don’t know where to start.

I started off not knowing anything i spent some time brainstorming with gemini trying to figure out what exactly it is i will be doing and possible pahways….
I got the option of creating a gmail add on or mailto threads….. I decided with mailto as it seems kind of mysterious and vintage ….. “Love story over gmail”
