I got the doubtful end and the parallel end. Multiple endings gives in a very choose-your-own-adventure vibe. Very cool

Great little text adventure story. Perfect for the theme.

Sweet little text based adventure, great writing! Would be amazing to see some animated graphics to this. Nice work, a great application to the theme!

Nice game. I couldn't burn my photos. The end was coming anyway. I accepted it.

Nice game

I was excited to see another Twine game!

I will admit that I am a little confused at the significance of the blurry thoughts contradicting the *character creation* choices made previously. I am sure it means something, but it went over my head a little.

Managed to get all three endings. And I appreciate the alarm sound warning you left here on the game page. :D

Thanks for that feedback @flaterectomy! That was one thing I really wasn't sure of - whether I'd managed to get the idea across. Memories from a parallel universe where you'd done things differently were supposed to be bleeding through. And if you managed to remember having a daughter, you could somehow switch to that parallel universe where you never went on the trip and thus never died.

@shortcreative It all makes sense in retrospect! I think maybe some foreshadowing of parallel dimensions could have helped me get there on my own. Thanks for the explanation!

Cool entry ! It has a really nice melancolic mood ! Got the doubtful end but realised reading the comment that the blurry though weren't supposed to be my own which I didn't realised playing the game :sweat_smile:

Would have loved to have some kind of moody ambiant music (like the one you used at the end) during the entire game.

Good job :)

Nice story. Liked the different choices and different endings. Maybe you can add more to it.

Great little story. The sparse use of sound effects was also a nice touch.

Nice text adventure! Always great the play them!

Nice little game, always interesting to play a text adventure these days!

Good work!

Nicely done! I just want to add a +1 to a previous comment here: "Would have loved to have some kind of moody ambient music (like the one you used at the end) during the entire game.".

I'm always excited to come across narrative focused games on here. I played through a couple of times to get all of the endings. The parallel universes thing was a little confusing to me, I thought it was the result of oxygen deprivation at first (since the thoughts were so blurry), until I got the parallel ending. I would have loved if it was longer to setup/conclude the story with a bit more detail, but I'm guessing time constraints make that difficult to do. Overall, I enjoyed reading what you wrote, nice work!

Great game! I really like how the connection to the theme is slowly revealed to the player, and although I didn't quite understand the ending I got, I found the story to be interesting nonethless. I tried getting other "endings" but always ended at the same place. Perhaps make the order of the choices have more effect? I also found it a bit weird when the audio suddenly cut off and restarted after certain dialogue. Overall though, I enjoyed my time. Good job!

Cool little text game. As people already mentioned, it was a bit difficult to understand what is this blurred text when I read it, but perhaps it was confusing on purpose, so the player has a revelation at the end of the game. The ending I think could be more clear than it is now, for a second I thought it just misremembered my choices until I read the ending "name".

Thank you for your submission and hanging on the stream @shortcreative

This is a really cool game. The audio and sound effects really help with the mood (though the one loud sound scared me!) It would have been nice if the story were a bit longer, just to give a bit more depth. This is definitely one of the most creative games I have played so far, good job!

I was on a hunt for narrative-based games since our game is also a story-based virtual novel and I was really happy to stumple upon this gem! Really creative idea and I'm a big fan of science-fiction too. Solid game, good job!
