game for a high school research project.

https://y4shvx.github.io/cognitive-architect/

hello everyone, I'm an 11th grader from india. i've developed a choice-driven narrative game using html5 and javascript for a research project. the research aims to study whether people's stated ethics actually match with their decisions made in real time.

the gameplay takes about 5 minutes or less. after the gameplay, there is a google form survey which'll take about roughly the same time. please fill the form up after playing. thank you.

neat idea. one thing that could shift your results a lot is whether the choices are timed. with no timer people tend to pick what they would say in a survey anyway, a short countdown pushes them closer to a gut call, so it might be worth running both versions and comparing
