I didn't really understand whether I had a choice in which character to progress with, and whether it mattered.\r\rMaybe I should have read into it more, but perhaps a simpler starting room, could make it easier to grasp the importance of the multiple switches, multiple choice and story text.\r\rAlso I feel the puzzles could have been a little bit harder.\r\rGreat Job!"},{"author_name":"adrenalineChallenger","author_uid":"57291","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 4:12pm","epoch":1440432420,"text":"Good game.

The mood and writing are really spot-on. The ending implied that there was more than one way it could've gone, but as far as I could tell there was only one way to progress through each screen.\r\rAnyway, love the way the puzzles and story\/analogy are tied together. Games that nail that are my favourite."},{"author_name":"superfreak","author_uid":"56570","time":"Aug 27, 2015 @ 11:56pm","epoch":1440719460,"text":"Thought provoking game - had to play through twice to really get to the meat of it but now I cant stop thinking about it.

A little shame that the story doesn't exactly evolve based on the stats, but I do appreciate the multiple endings.\r\rSome criticisms: The buttons were a bit cryptic, and I often resorted to using R to restart a lot to get the desired ending. I think the game could benefit from added sound effects, too! Still, I do think this is a huge accomplishment, both from getting the first game done, and for providing an engaging narrative. Awesome job!"},{"author_name":"Jupiter_Hadley","author_uid":"27744","time":"Sep 6, 2015 @ 4:00pm","epoch":1441554900,"text":"Really neat concept!
