Absolutely loved how things kept escalating. That, and the color changed to represent different settings. I'm actually finding words to describe just how good this one was, so great job!

Excellent sense of made up agency in the choices even when the story is actually mostly linear. I liked that you sum up the action I did/didnt chose at the end : Made me play it twice (first got ending A and then B)

A Perfect GiftI have never hated a person as much as I hated that doctor! Poor Angela :c I am sad this ended up this way but, hey, at least the creature did their best to help.
This was great, the idea was interesting, the execution too!! Honestly I just wish people could get along but... sometimes I guess one lets the stress get the best out of us.

Gambit in Capital CityI felt chills down my spine! This game does so many things well, and every choice seems meaningful and thought-out. The background color changes were a really subtle yet clever addition, they add so much more atmosphere to an already great game. I got ending A but I'll have to replay because I can tell there's a lot more to this game in store.

They were here.Wow, this was outstanding! The mood, the pacing, the mystery of it, and the subtlety of the choice mechanic all gripped me. All of the options seem like we’re just making up a story for someone, but there’s a looming sense that each one will matter a lot in ways we can’t sense when we’re making them. The payoff lives up to that in spades.
I got Ending A, by the way.
Thank you so much! I'm fairly inexperienced as a writer so it does a lot for my confidence to hear that you enjoyed it. Also, you should check out other games from the inkjam if you haven't! Random recommendations: check out They Were Here, "Gospel Says (I lied)", and "I'm late for work AND stuck in a time loop!!"
Stunning experience! I loved it! Brilliant writing and absolutely captivating story!
I had ending A btw. :)

Only HumanOh goodness me... this is my favorite by far! I got A, but I'm definitely replaying to see what changes. This is so cool! I love the color changes as well.
