Definitely a different game than most. I was trying to get a deep message out of it, but the timer doesn't let you really think about each phrase because it's fast paced.

Thanks for your comment! I've appended this to the description:
"Note: You can get bonus time. It's much of a random change, though."
Very suddenly see text html quest for LD. It's original!
I like Interactive Fiction games. It's cool to see one taking advantage of more modern technology as this one does.
Lacks some sounds but a nice experience, thx you and good job !!
Interesting approach, but I would incorporate at least some js libaries for dom manipulation, animation and sound... that's just a recommendation, if you're eager to code everything yourself, i'll respect that :)
A great idea. Text-based games with a time limit is something you do not see often. I really feel there is something to be explored further here, and your game is a great proof of concept!
The jam definitely needs more interactive fiction, kudos to you!
I love this game! The messages were awesome!
This seems timeless...
love it!
Text-based game with timer? Yeah, this is something new for LD here.
Ha, I like how you say this pretends to have some deep message. Interesting idea, though and it actually does a pretty fair job of pretending. ;)
The countdown also made me read a little more frantically. That was a nice moment.
You actually have to pay attention and read to know what you should do which is neat, but it could use some sound effects and maybe some more animation to it.
I enjoyed this one, but it felt like it needed SOMETHING. Not necessarily sound, but I would love to see this expanded upon.
I didn't expect suchlike new style game. Good atmosphere.
Thanks, everyone, I'll definitely expand the engine, and probably make a sequel of this, with more interactive things and graphics. Didn't use sounds because can't rely on different browsers supporting different formats, and don't want to deal with them separately. Maybe next time I'll offer the user to loop the specific music file (made by me) on his/her own.
Some more interesting art and sounds would have gone a long way towards making this more atmospheric but I'm really glad I played it nonetheless. It's nicely written and plotted. The ending made me smile and has genuinely brightened my day. Thank you!
You're welcome.
Not bad, pretty interesting experience.
Interesting idea, I didn't get much out of what it was saying but i liked the mood!
interesting experience. the use of the timer is actually very good despite making you feel like you must hurry on with the reading, and not stop to think for a sec. and i think the random bonus time add to this, it makes you more alert of what's actually happening. good work.
