I tried every scenario possible after restart and it was impossible to move forward.\r<br\/>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.\r<br\/>after understanding it, i was frustrated the game wasn't more long."},{"author_name":"Avalanche Games","author_uid":"54749","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 2:37pm","epoch":1472567520,"text":"Shame i'd like to play but I don't know a word of french.

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?"},{"author_name":"LoneSpelunker","author_uid":"112022","time":"Aug 31, 2016 @ 5:43am","epoch":1472621880,"text":"Wow.

Good job!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I would have liked a little more choice in the later segments of the game, to make it a bit more challenging.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The twist when choosing the 'wrong' ending is very cool. Nice game, all in all :)"},{"author_name":"A Little Red Panda","author_uid":"51507","time":"Aug 31, 2016 @ 11:51pm","epoch":1472687160,"text":"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.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>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!"},{"author_name":"Kernel Panic","author_uid":"105259","time":"Sep 1, 2016 @ 11:44am","epoch":1472729940,"text":"The game mechanic was immersive.

Though is you chose the &quot;evil ending&quot;, I think you didn't miss much, the animation just got interrupted for some reason. Can you share what OS\/Browser you're using?

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."},{"author_name":"Frozen Fractal","author_uid":"7882","time":"Sep 2, 2016 @ 2:12pm","epoch":1472825220,"text":"Finally got a chance to play your game Wan :)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Rewinding time was always possible in games like this, so kudos for the idea of making it an official feature!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Good writing.
