Amazing. Love it

This is really depressing...

clever use of audio to frame the game. i really really like the scary noises later on. the idea kind of sounds like the game the stanley parable, though it's hard for this sort of thing to work effectively without much context.

Yea, I had a lot more plan, where it would go through the stages of the red circles life and have other options besides the one in the beginning. I'll definitely be working on a complete version. Thanks for the comments!

Interesting game, it's really weird but that makes it more interesting. The background music is awesome and the voice-acting is a fantastic feature.

Good narrating. Depressing story.

Quite depressing actually, but still enjoyable. It would be nice to have more choices, as well as maybe the ability to skip certain audio parts you've heard before - it could make the choices easier to explore.

Super depressing, but in a good way. The sound effects may not be great, but the music (and the occasional piano note on its own) and that voice are done really well.

I would like to have your pronunciation, but I doubt if I should tell such a sad story :O
Game is like a theatre, I miss the fun :)

I wish I could pronounce my words better, but sadly when I was a child and first moved to California they didn't offer any speech classes. I was never able to fix my diction issues, so this is the best I could muster. :) Thanks everyone!

Great story, reminds me of the stanley parable.

Well that was intense. I love the simplicity and how well paced the narration is, though it was a bit of a pain to listen to the beginning again just to see what happened when I went left. This really has emotion to it, and in a good way. Great game.

Thank you. Believe me, I know how you feel. I had to listen to the entire thing every time I had a bug or added a scene just to make sure it all worked correctly. Haha.

Holy God I loved this. Interesting story and sad/confusing story. Watcher both endings :) Liked your narration, good quality voice.

I loved it!

jubjub-2 2013-04-30 13:59

Hahaha. That was hilarious. The 'DIE YOU SHIT' part scared me...

Good job, interesting concept. Weird, but interesting!

fussycashew 2013-04-30 20:59

I'm so depressed now. :(
I'm a terrible red circle.

sylvain-p 2013-04-30 21:14

Great storytelling, good voice...and a bit depressing game.

queader 2013-04-30 21:53

Hmmm...I've never seen something like this. Nice game(?) :)

udrian 2013-05-02 17:52

Aaaaaaaaw, it was soooooooo sad! felt really bad for that little red circle....
