Well realized but i have been stuck after the "« Haha bien essayé ! »" part where nothing allowed me to select the correct answer after restarting the game. I tried every scenario possible after restart and it was impossible to move forward.
I started again and understood that i had click on previous answer to use the watch. Maybe a tip to tell to the player to use his watch by clicking previous choices will prevent this misunderstanding.
after understanding it, i was frustrated the game wasn't more long.

Shame i'd like to play but I don't know a word of french. Let me know when you've translated it!

Really intriguing short story game. The best interactive story I've played in a Ludum Dare. Interesting theories have emerged about the ending - did I become the evil time bomb manufacturers that we set out to stop?

Wow. Clever, original, compelling, and fun. Great job.

Very enjoyable, even after I had completed the story, I had to go back and check the other options :)
A fun game and a clever text-based adventure.

It's very nice how the mechanic and the story integrate. Good job!

I would have liked a little more choice in the later segments of the game, to make it a bit more challenging.

The twist when choosing the 'wrong' ending is very cool. Nice game, all in all :)

I got so far into it, I picked up a bunch of keys and I encountered a locked door. It took several goes back and forth trying different things until I was able to open it. Also I picked up the keys over and over again (without turning back time) which didn't match the rest of the game.

I got to the end.... and all the text disapeared. I'm left with two half sentences on the screen. Is that supposed to happen? If so it's a huge shame because I really wanted to know the ending!

The game mechanic was immersive. It fit really well with the text-based format of the game, and made some plot points a lot more thrilling than I see in most interactive stories.

Nicely done! :D

@A Little Red Panda: You probably encountered a bug (maybe several ones?). Though is you chose the "evil ending", I think you didn't miss much, the animation just got interrupted for some reason. Can you share what OS/Browser you're using? Thanks

Well done my friend ;)
I really liked the story and the originality of the game.
No surprise, I choose the evil ending :D

binarybot 2016-09-02 07:51

Gee this is really well executed interactive fiction. Going 'back' in time by scrolling up and clicking a different link felt really original. Nice work!

komilll 2016-09-02 07:52

That's really nice concept. I'm not sure if time manipulation was already involved in text-based games. Text-based games are still niche but with this idea and good writting you may really broke through Steam Greenlight. Good luck and keep polishing the idea.

Finally got a chance to play your game Wan :)

Rewinding time was always possible in games like this, so kudos for the idea of making it an official feature!

Good writing. I loved both endings, the "evil" one in particular though :)

euske 2016-09-03 07:18

Wow, this is such an original approach. I thought the ending was pretty appropriate. Nice job!

leondryaso 2016-09-03 10:02

Great work. These text games are often much better than the "normal" ones because of the story effort put into them. The time-travel mechanic is great.

g12345 2016-09-04 15:06

Wow! That was a really nice text adventure.

I still play text adventures occasionally, and this one is pretty fine for one.

(Yes, there are some spellings errors/grammar stuff, but not something major.)

My js skills is not good enough to write something like this yet, so well done! Also, I don't get when the name changes into "red heart" or "red clubs" but that was interesting too.

tetha 2016-09-04 15:22

Hah, playing the full version was nice. :)

The ending was a bit weird, because everything just disappeared without any further feedback. But still, I really enjoyed this.

rodobodolfo 2016-09-07 01:34

Wow this was really good.
The story is intriguing and the mechanics are spot on. The confrontation bit is really nice.
brilliant entry!
I picked the evil ending but seemed to freeze in the middle of the animation.

Thus us fantastic; really enjoyed that. Cool story, excellent gameplay element and it works so well with the text adventure and the layout. Bravo! Would travel again!
