Awesome story! You really manage to portray this depressed but still human character. I also like how the death article (?) changes depending on where in the story you choose "Now is the time".

That gave me some chills. Its amazing how you could portray such depression is such a short length of text! I call that kind of thing talent :)

Really great game/interactive story! I played through every ending and enjoyed learning more and more about the protagonist's life and backstory. Good work!

I really like the game, the story is very deep and it gets to the player. It keeps you thinking about life for a while.

There isn't much gameplay wise, but it's compensated by a quite powerful story. I really got immersed in it. Wish it had some music for atmosphere.

Wow... didn't expect that. The 2nd text game I've played this LD. Great font, great story! A bit depressing.... but that's a good thing!

I applaud your writing skills, that was certainly something else.

Thanks guys. Was interesting to try something different this time around. We also wanted some music in there, but ran short of time and couldn't come with anything quite suitable (droning and soviet). Lesson learned - find a sound guy :)

Great. Short but really well executed. Good job!

This is pretty interesting and unique.

Very well done. I do like text games and this one was very impressively written. I felt really sad for the main character.

Dark, but with a message. Moving and touching. Respect!

@Nut Seems okay from this end; let us know if you have ongoing issues.

Good story!

kareemroks101 2013-12-25 17:26

Very deep story despite its length, you have great writing skills. I really liked it!

Innovative and unique - I like the concept to 'END' the adventure at different points, excellent work!
