Iptar - so begins another crystal collection game
On a day much like any other, three roommates are getting ready to go to a convention.
As they are about to leave, one of their number invites them to his secret lab, a summons which no geek can resist.
Soon after entering the lab they engage in some irresponsible use of fanmade technology,
after which they are robbed and left stranded in an unknown world with little more than their cosplay outfits and accessories.
What can be done? They must locate and activate the portal to their own world, or be forever separated from the internet and all else they hold dear.
Around them they discover a world that is undergoing change. A new thing called 'electricity' is beginning to see usage in some homes, the common man is starting to read the books he keep on his shelves, and a militant faction of the government is lobbying for hostile take-overs of other worlds.
So really it's not all that different from our world, well, except for that part about the books.
Anyway, the three find themselves thrust into various situations on their path to return home - will they make it back, or will they find themselves ensnared?
The Demo is available at:

I am looking for constructive criticism on any and all aspects of my game, so please don't hold back!

Mike:
20 years old
An rpg/fantasy world fanboy with questionable fashion sense.
Typically lighthearted, positive, and a bit airheaded, he seems to have
become the defacto leader of the group - no one really knows why.
Nick:
21 years old
A japanophile with an unhealthy devotion to sci-fi programs (as he often attempts to recreate prominent technologies found therein).
He is often the logical one, but also frequently shows a lack of common sense and restraint.
If you ever play rock, paper, scissors, Spock, lizard with him you can always win by throwing lizard.
Kent:
20 years old
Insists that he is a ninja and behaves entirely based on his own idealization of ninja.
He has trained himself to use the sword and treats everything as a mission to be completed.
While he appears to be the cool, levelheaded type, that's only because he's actually pretty stupid.
