If this is actually connected to a transmitter somewhere, I would love it. Otherwise, nice mood and great take on the theme.

I liked this. The way you had the camera pan out to an empty sky made a huge and effective use of the haunting beeps of the transmitter. I was expecting an answer back. It just hit home that there wouldn't be one. This woman is hoping to connect with another world, because I suspect she has trouble connecting to anyone on this one. Bravo :)

Wow. Played it a few times since it's short and a couple of the options really pack of punch. It's really got the sad, endless hope/hopelessness down. You managed to get a lot of feeling in for such a tiny game.
That was really interesting, played through it multiple times too. Great work!
I have no idea why, but I actually really love this entry. It's ridiculously simple yet powerful at the same time. Good work.
I really liked this, played this a couple times. The mood was great, you can read a lot into this, very deep. Nice job.
This was neat, to me I didn't get much of a sense of "connected worlds" since the communication seemed pretty one-sided. Definitely captures the feeling of loneliness very well. Having a response or reaction to the transmission may coincide with the theme more, but then the feeling of loneliness may be compromised. Good work!
That was very touching. It was really beautiful and peaceful. If you do a post-mortem version, I would suggest touching up the UI and fixing a slight audio glitch with the pinging. The pinging seems to crackle a little on each repeat. Otherwise really nice job!
Very moody piece. I enjoyed it :)
Great, now I feel lonely! Nice pacing.
There's something very quiet and lovely about this. I actually like that your attempt to use the theme (connected worlds) is almost instead about a failure to connect worlds. Great work.
I love how you learn more about the character through the dialog choices, I just wish I could keep learning more. Some of the little sets of messages left me wanting more. It felt very sad and lonesome :( Good job!
