How does your game represent "Power"?
This game is a typing game - unconventional for the theme power, but fits the theme in it's story. Through a rather poetic series of diary entries, the game takes you through a story while the user types out the diary entries themselves putting you inside the narrator's shoes.
The storyline shows the power you have in your choices, i.e., just waking up 2 minutes later one day can lead to a series of large scale events, including a supernova. This is a reference to quantum entanglement and the theory of multiple simulations.
The question left at the end is for the user to interpret: do we make our own choices, or are the choices already premade?

This is likely malware and the comments are fake. The game has an installer, and my PC has been fucked since I restarted downloading this game. There is no game. The login goes nowhere.

Hi, I’m sorry you experienced this. The login is likely due to server issues and I’m not sure what malware you may have downloaded, but it gets flagged as malware by computers since its a game on itch.io. After the jam ends I’ll make it available as a webGL.
Wasn't able to get past the signup window - confusing. Isnt this single player?
Beautiful!
It was predestined that I would play this game and write this comment. Boom. (Also why did I have to make an account with a password to play this game?!?)
nice art and music.
do we make our own choices, or are the choices already premade?
