A great story! It has much suspense, it is challenging, it provokes thaught and it depicts in detail some important scenarios that are not so easy to imagine.
Thank you for playing! Depicting these scenarios was my exact intention. Glad to hear you've liked it!
The story was great but kinda annoying it boiled down to political views.
The last choice punishes me as a liberal, implying superiority of other worldviews. I kind of dislike that because the game was mostly politically neutral.
Except for that, I think the story has a lot of potential and can expand to a proper light novel / book. Good luck!
Thanks for your feedback.
In truth, I had no intention to punish anyone for their views. That was just an attempt to realistically model the possible scenarios of the immortality pill being dealt with in this or that way. Sure I couldn't leave my own assumptions and beliefs completely out, and I see why a single good ending in a game like that may feel biased. I will consider adding a few more to represent a greater diversity of worldviews.

Yeah it's exactly the realistic perception that is often hard to nail objectively as we ourselves get info from biased media to begin with. My specific route was with WikiLeaks (though you probably guessed so), and I chose it exactly because most of WikiLeak's controvacies ended up pretty well. A recent example actually was not too long ago when Snowden published a book on how he hesitated a lot at the time, yet his decision actually turned out pretty well.
Now of course we should consider this stuff on a case by case basis, often with complex risk analysis but I guess that's why it's hard to nail.
I know it can be hard, but thanks for a least trying to make this less political =]
That was a very interesting story with important ethical dilemmas. I'll have to come back and play through some of the other story paths.
You're welcome:) Thank you for playing!
