Coming Out Simulator 2014

Source snapshot

Vendor baseline came from the published gh-pages tree of ncase/coming-out-simulator-2014. The local copy preserves the original branching dialogue structure, loading flow, audio cues, and end-state scene controller while trimming creator, design-doc, and static share callouts from the public shell.

• Live original verified against https://ncase.itch.io/coming-out-simulator-2014 on 2026-03-10.
• The public route keeps exactly one original-page reference in the shared footer.
• Static shell credits and the upstream social-share bar were removed rather than re-hosted with itch links.

Asset and source map

• coming-out-simulator-2014/index.html keeps the original loading, dialogue, choice, and end-screen containers.
• coming-out-simulator-2014/js/core/ still drives the queue system, popups, and choice rendering.
• coming-out-simulator-2014/js/game/ preserves the menu, Jack, dinner, and outro branches with local text cleanup in the framing scenes.
• coming-out-simulator-2014/css/, img/, icons/, and sounds/ remain vendored so timing and scene presentation stay close to upstream.

Known deviations

• The end-screen shell now shows neutral replay guidance instead of creator, repo, and design-document links.
• The old static share bar was removed so no itch or upstream share URLs remain in public HTML before runtime begins.
• Opening menu branches were reworded to remove creator or provenance callouts while keeping the same branching structure and pacing.

Reproduction notes

• Vendor the published bundle first, then patch the shell and opening-note dialogue instead of rewriting the branching scene files wholesale.
• Keep the original relative asset layout; the choice and art config expects the upstream folder structure.
• Run both the public-surface audit and smoke runner after touching js/game/menu.js because that file contains user-visible framing copy and branch setup.
