It took me a long time to figure out that I could use the mouse to imitate a touchscreen in scrolling up and down (before that I was using the mouse wheel, which took foreverrr). Maybe some of the desires should disappear as you age? Or at least their description should change. I might have spent too much time as a senior cuddling with mum... and I might have imagined cuddling with a skeleton.\n\nAudio would have really improved this game, so I hope you find an audio person. You can always at least find free music and sound effects. You can't be rated in audio, but it helps the mood of the game.","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"miu","author_uid":"1145184","time":"2019-05-01T15:12:57Z","epoch":1556723577,"modified":1556723577,"text":"I liked it though I think there's not enought time between each ages","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Derek Volker","author_uid":"1076279","time":"2019-05-02T14:34:32Z","epoch":1556807672,"modified":1556807672,"text":"YOU CAN EAT MUD FOR YOUR WHOLE LIFE!\n\nReally interesting concept that makes you think what you are doing with your life and why are you not eating mud right now.\n\nSeriously, you wonder what choices you made that affected in positive and negative ways but resulted in where you are right now (and possibly where you'll be tomorrow).\n\nI think the game could use a little more options (and restrict them by age and\/or by choices done before) but yeah, given the timeframe to deliver a complete game is already an achievement. And music, it would really make a difference in setting the mood of the game.\n\nGood job on developing this game.
