It felt like not having a real impact on the game which were resulting in less interest. It's more like a presentation, kind of like a movie.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>But props for trying and finishing it. Good luck Sir!"},{"author_name":"flouiz","author_uid":"46501","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 8:05am","epoch":1418198400,"text":"Yes, the game is strictly contemplative if you simply browse the animations animations and taking the time.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>However, using powerpoint I was aware of the problem by multiplying actions and animations. So I knew that I could use powerpoint the ideal effect of climate irregularity by the fact of man.

That said, it felt a bit lacking in the interactivity department, and the graphics could have been higher quality given that there's not much more to the game. Cool, relaxing experience though."},{"author_name":"DiegoHenriquez","author_uid":"46616","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 10:54pm","epoch":1418251740,"text":"Well, this is indeed interesting xD It wasn't really much of an actual game, but it was a very pleasing experience ;) good graphics and audio!"},{"author_name":"TijmenTio","author_uid":"18775","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 10:55pm","epoch":1418251800,"text":"Not the first to say this, but wow, powerpoint?
