About

Ping Ping is an interactive novel.

The game doesn’t have music, buttons to smash, nor does it have zombies to kill.

Instead it has a psychologically based story and choices that will create twists and turns throughout the game. Ping Ping is filled with countless choices, along with clocking in at over 80,000 words. Stumble down each path to tie the story together of her.

Minako, a girl nicknamed "Ping Ping".

A girl who smokes too much and loves too little.

"...You know what I think? I think that we're all in our private traps, clamped in them, and none of us can ever get out. We scratch and we claw, but only at the air, only at each other, and for all of it, we never budge an inch. "

Ping Ping reviews and comments

Ping Ping is a story / novel disguised as a “game”.
Yes, it’s made with Twine.
Yes, there is no background music, nor images.
Yes, the white text and dark grey background is too small to read.
Yes, there are choices, but most of them don’t change the story.
Yes, there are several endings, but they are abrupt and hard to understand.
Even after I found what I believe is the true ending, I still can’t make head or tails of the plot.
What is Minako? Is she a human or a robot?
Did her dad sexually assault her?
Did Minako die in some endings?
What about her mom? Is she dead? 
So many questions, no answers in sight.
Ping Ping was available on Steam before the developer retired it from sale. Said developer also had the nasty habit to censor “bad criticism” of her “game” by deleting comments on the Greenlight page, in the forums, and by flagging negative reviews.
That’s a red flag for me. Skip this game.
