Loved the story! Simple yet engaging. Maybe a good background music will add more to the feels. All in all, great job! The approach to the theme is unique. 5 stars for you! Keep it up! <3
I enjoyed the story! You're a good storyteller and kept me captivated the whole time.
I wish there was a bit more to the game. Audio would have helped a lot. A simple background instrumental song would add a lot to the experience. More story choices would have been nice too, but I understand the linear design to tell the story you wanted. Good game!
It was a nice little story, but I wish the player had more control over it. I'm not sure if it was due to one of the choices I made, but I only got two before it was suddenly over. Even if it doesn't impact the story itself, it would be nice for it to have been a little more interactive.
Thank you for letting me know about the issue, I'll get that fixed ASAP!
I've changed it to launch into fullscreen for the time being, so hopefully that should resolve any startup issues. Thank you guys for the feedback, this was a great first pass through Twine 2!
I really enjoyed this story! I look forward to going through it again and making different choices. It was fun to see another example of interactive fiction in the game jam!

I also ran into being stuck on the title screen, but holding scroll and moving my mouse down seemed to let me scroll down.
Not really my kinda genre, but I like how many options the story gives.
Looks like I can't even start playing, the screen stays black and nothing happens.
Running on Chrome (latest version)

I ran the game on my browser and got the initial title screen with the beginning text, but the bottom was cut off at "float down to sheets of" and I couldn't see anything lower. Did you make sure you uploaded the game with the same resolution with which you built it? I tried all sorts of mouse and keyboard inputs and nothing worked to scroll down or advance the screen.
Seems like an interesting concept and the writing seemed strong for those first few sentences. Let me know if I missed anything obvious or if you end up fixing whatever issue caused that. I'd love to give it a try.
I was able to pop open the iframe in its own tab and play, but it is not working embedded in itch.io. You could probably increase the iframe size a little to fix it.
