Very interesting concept! I love how the warmth is incorporate mechanically and in the narrative

Cool story, and I liked the presentation. I think I might have become too warm (?) because the arrow disappeared. But I was content with my ‘freedom’ ending so :D

I have heard rumours that some people are so pure hearted, and so warm, that they've broken the scale for how warm you can be :D Congratulations on being one of those people! And thanks for playing. I'm going to fix that bug when I get chance!

Nice story! It was fun trying out different answers and how it affected the warmth score and the outcome of the story

Developer

It was fun checking out the story and how it impacted the temperature. The choice of background felt very peaceful and the definition at the beginning was really insightful. Good job.

Developer

Fun little story. I feel like it would be great if you added some ambience (audio-wise) to it as well.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for checking it out! I agree with you that some ambient audio would go a long way. Maybe something I can add in future!

I had a hard time taking it seriously because this has the same story as that one KOTOR mission with the runaway droid.

Developer

That was definitely a big inspiration and influence on this piece! I appreciate you taking the time to check it out.
