Hi HN,

I made this webpage-story and was looking for feedback.

http://inthehandsofothers.com

It reads similar to a choose-your-own-adventure, but there is more to it than that. It is supposed to be about improving upon the book medium by combining a written story with computing/music/etc. I haven't got much support outside of people I directly know, so I was wondering if you could tell me what you think, and if you like the idea.

I think you it is better if you put a short tip for beginners. The introduction that you show after entering number 2 is long. I prefer to learn how to use a service fast and simple.

You should change the title to a Show HN: a descriptive title :)

Edit: but it looks very cool, I liked the running part!

I would put a link in the bottom of the page that gives a short explanation about what the site is all about. That way, people can easily find that information.
