Really well done visuals and story! Maybe in an update, include a way to speed up text and include some ambiance?

Great use of the theme, it's like a series of time-limited trolley questions, telling an interactive story.

LD embed didn't work for me, but the itch one worked.

I think the somewhat abstracted art works well for this, and creates an interesting mood with the typewriter noises. Nice work.

This was really atmospheric. Although the images seem to be very simple, they fit the theme very good. I also think that you hit the nail with your sound design.

Wow! That's such a cool art style. The story is very well made, and I love the multiple perspectives. Huge points for mood and graphics! I recorded myself playing the game if you want extra feedback:

Nice game! The graphics are awesome and I love the mood you set for the the game. Do your choices affect the game though? It felt to me as if whatever I chose the result was still the same. Other than that though, I thought this was a nice game. Well done!

Very strong mood, but some of the text was partially out of the window for me so I found it difficult to read.

The art creates a perfect mood for this. The sense of urgency, impossible decisions, and the interconnectedness of all the different perspectives work really well. This was a great direction to take the theme!

The artwork is pretty strong, you have a good eye for composition. I can't say the story really gripped me, I couldn't really make sense of it. Really nice mood though.
