Interesting concept. I like the creepy music. The conversation options didn't really seem to fit with each other-- I once said "stones are my passion" and one of the following dialog options was about being a plumber. The end results always felt random, instead of the clear result of my choices. I like the laughing death skull and the flying poop though.

It's got some very enjoyable dialogue but it doesn't really lead anywhere. Even so, it could have been one of those games where you try out all the different paths to get different endings. Unfortunately the dialogue is static and never really changes, so there's no incentive to start over and try again. With a little bit of tweaking I think it could be a fun game (kind of like that game where you try to kill the astronaut in all those hilarious ways). Good effort!

I loved the concept, a trully fun game. Despite some initial confusion with the gameflow i found it very interesting. Althought, the UI does'nt help to undestand the game because selectable and unselectable text lines looks identical.

Cool concept and funny options. Not sure which death is the best one, but at least I got a few with a smile on ym face.

I really like the idea of this one but I felt a little confused with the flow of the conversations, however, it's a really cool concept and I found the deaths funny! Would have been nice to have an option to either turn the music down or off completely

Liked the concept, like @anna-constable I found the conversation flows weird. I found I didn't play it for too long but good work!

Talking to death was more funny than I thought it can be!

I like that it was a more narrative focused game. Nice one.

Felt strange that all 3 conversation options advanced no matter which one I chose.

i definitely think this was a cool concept! i was a bit unclear on how the dialogue choices worked, i thought that they were different branches but the next set of choices still had one of each category regardless of what you said. i think a bit more feedback for the player just to know what is working and what isn't as well as how the game is flowing would be really helpful. i had a fun time exploring, nice work!
