I wanted to read the second option but by moving forward I went too far and couldn't get back to the first one easily. \n\nI didn't quite feel like I was making a choice that led to loosing part of my life, but overall the theme of moving through a life\/time was well implemented. \n\nI would have liked more options in the 4th stage, but I like the metaphor of the emptiness I did find. \n\nI played the HTML version on Itch.io and the music was quite loud. If you decide to add more options in the future I would recommend you add a volume control. \n\nThanks for sharing your game.

Fantastic graphics for 48 hours. The music is good too even if it feels a little mismatched to the graphics (which are more light-hearted). I like the idea of the game - that you can't have everything in life so you have to choose between things and that those choices can have lasting consequences. \n\nI didn't feel much of that from the gameplay itself though. Just running to the right is a bit repetitive for me to want to go through and find all the different possible endings (maybe if they made me run faster). Also, is there anything I can do with the jump ability?","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"PabloTitan","author_uid":"1140335","time":"2019-04-30T11:40:43Z","epoch":1556624443,"modified":1556624443,"text":"Yes, audiovisuals are great, but the strongest point is how reasonably and logically you balanced the choices, the outcome is a fantastic story always, full of emotions and outcomes, like in the good movie plot.
