Cons
Con Limited to interactive fiction
Twine is specialized to decision-based interactive fiction. Under the hood, a Twine game is just a flowchart for page transitions; the only way to add more complex behavior is to code it from scratch in JavaScript.
Con Missing accessibility features
While not a big issue, it may be a dealbreaker for some.
Con Poor code structure
There's little in terms of cohesiveness in classes, methods or patterns.
