  • Nice little piece. I like a good short interactive fiction like this.

    I do wish there were a few more branches, a few more win/loss scenarios. I felt like once I had completed/failed once I wasn't interested in playing more.

    I think the art is cute and nails the vibe you were going for. Good work.

  • I actually really enjoyed this! The little addition of the heart knitting back together was a touching and also useful element of gameplay feedback that helped enforce my decisions and keep me engaged. The overall plot was fiarly ordinary but quite sweet and while there were a few flat or simple lines the dialogue was overall solid! 

    Good work, team!

I'm a terrible counselor. Great story telling and humor. Liked the art!
