Enjoyed playing your game. Happy coincidence: I was watching the TV series "Treasure Island" the last two days here at my mothers place - not exactly the same, but some nice similarities :-)
I have plenty of free time here, so I was doing an experiment. I was wondering if and how it would be possible to embed a game like yours (interactive Google Slide based presentation) into an itch.io game page. And I was successful :-) I was taking your presentation for my tests, as it uses some more advanced features (linking slides with interactive elements).
Here are the steps:
In Slides: File > Share > Publish to web
Switch to tab Embed, medium size, any number of seconds for "switch to next slide"
Open any text editor, paste the embed code inside, and add html and body tags around it (to create a very basic html page)
Search for "delayms=" and change the number to a very big one (prevents auto switching slides)
Save as index.html and then compress this file to index.zip
Upload the index.zip into your itch.io game page and choose "Will be played in browser", choose embed in page, set size manually to 960x580
Voila! Your game is fully integrated into an itch page and can be played inside the page :-D
I can share the result with you, if you are interested - created a PW protected and restricted page for it
Wow this is SUCH a good idea! Thank you so much for documenting the steps so clearly, I'm going to give it a try. I love the slides format for a prototype like this, it was so fast to throw together and edit, so I think I'll use it again for testing small ideas. It will be a huge improvement to be able to integrate it into the page like this. You're a legend 🤩
Happy to hear you like the idea. If all goes well, the result can look somehow like this. You can even trigger a fullscreen mode from the 3-dot-menu. Another nice benefit: You will get proper statistics about how many times your games was played.
An appealing little bite-sized game. The deductions weren't too difficult, but I enjoyed working them out. Worth building out into a larger game, I think! Have you played Strange Horticulture? If not you would enjoy it: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1574580/Strange_Horticulture/
Strange Horticulture is a great reference! Can also imagine adapting the mechanic of this game to the "unknown island" plot hesperus4 was crafting here.

What an excellent idea, wondefully executed.
Thank you so much!
Fun game little game, nice world building, creative names. 10/10
Thanks so much :)
Creating a game as a slideshow is a great idea! It was fun, and certainly got me excitedly jotting down various notes.
Definitely you did a great job of transmitting the jam’s vibe.
Thank you so much!

You are correct! There are also a couple of other options for getting one of those pieces of information :)
Thanks so much for playing!
