One way this could be improved is to borrow an idea from visual novels and RPGs and add some kind of \"flag condition\" or \"stat based condition\" that makes it possible or not possible to select an option. Also check out *Reigns* for an example of a really good use of a game all about this kind of simple dialogue.\n\nThe world and characters also need more development and this can suggest ways to make the dialogues interesting. For example, maybe the main character has some kind of comfort device like a teddy bear that they can use to regain composure. Or there is a friend that they can call over to save them from a difficult conversation.\n\nI think the concept is good, it just needs a design that fits everything together better. Most of these kinds of games rely on having lots and lots of dialogue which make them hard to execute in a game jam.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"mike_inPrinciple","author_uid":"1101411","time":"2018-08-13T08:30:52Z","epoch":1534149052,"modified":1534149052,"text":"Ehm...

In the game you're trying to click as fast as possible through the dialogue (at least I think that's what you're meant to do) so if the player plays the game well then they won't actually get to read any of it which is probably what they want to do - the game punishes the player for reading dialogue.
