This was an interesting idea with a very lackluster execution. While I enjoyed the concept of both the game and the story, when I tried to actually play it, I legitimately gave up because I couldn't be bothered to continue playing. It's just rather frustrating trying to correctly guess which dialogue option is the right one without knowing ahead of time, since often times they all seemed rather reasonable. Also, the audio was deathly loud and got really grating after a while, much too aggressive for this type of game. Overall, a neat idea, but I definitely think it could have been much better.
Windows version just opens an error dialog that says "Failed to load mono". I think you should add MonoBleedingEdge directory to the archive. Linux version worked fine.
Story works perfectly. The mechanic that makes you read it all over again is kind of annoying.
Hey! I just redownloaded and check, MonoBleedEdge is in the folder. Are you sure you extracted everything?
Thank you for the feedback on the story!
Awesome story and awesome mood! It was really annoying to click through dialogues every time I fail and as a result I've played the game through about 10 times. But I did get to the end because of the thrilling story, couldn't leave it like that without finding out the ending. That is really impressive! Art was pleasant. Even though some creepy music is lacking for the perfect mood, you still get a five because of story and the idea. It's definitely worth publishing, but I would suggest to rethink the gameplay and make it more forgiving, otherwise it kills the thrill of the story. I really enjoyed it, thanks a lot!
Thank you very much for the feedback!
