Although, it is pretty confusing as to how the game ends, I think I may have found the right ending?

I was especially drawn by that very powerful first section--the "making of a world," as it were. It reminded me of that section of Watchmen where Dr. Manhattan is... er... assembled. Later prose could, I think, stand to be a little sparser because what you have feels monotone and inflexible as the writing wears on. Of course, if we are talking pretension then there's always the possibility that this was intentional--but I felt specifically *unimpressed* rather than experiencing an immersive emotion, and I can't see how alienation from the player avatar and the story itself at that juncture would serve your purposes.\r\rAll those things being said, though, I enjoyed the time I spent with it enough to go find 3 or 4 endings, and really dug the audio and graphics. Thank you for the game!"},{"author_name":"bluesky","author_uid":"40978","time":"Sep 1, 2014 @ 8:26am","epoch":1409559660,"text":"This is actually very entertaining, well done."},{"author_name":"vividhelix","author_uid":"35713","time":"Sep 1, 2014 @ 5:19pm","epoch":1409591640,"text":"Normally not my cup of tea, but I took the time and I have to say it was worth it.
