Interesting story. I included it in my Spring Cleaning Twine Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)
Hey! Thank you for playing my game~ If you have the time to I'd encourage you to play it fully, as 2-5 minutes is probably not ideal for an understanding of the subject matter I wrote about!
Good.
I don't have much to say critically about the writing or the content, it's solid and it's good and it effectively uses the medium for maximum impact. The dream sequences were formatted really well, and your font/bg color choices helped a lot with the description of the dreams.
A few of the links confused me because of how they were described, since I was under the impression that clicking an italicized link would navigate away from the passage and not go back to that passage, rather than some being purely for extended description and would send you back to where you came from.
This story was real. The way in which the prose was written was extremely vivid, and I thought it was really good. I also personally really enjoyed the way the dream sequences were shown, it gave me a real sense of these characters.
My favorite part was reading about how the main character feels about Alex. They seemed constantly conflicted, and despite Alex's open arms, felt daunted at the prospect of even talking to them.
It was just really good :) I dunno what else to say
Hi~
Thank you for playing my game, I'm glad you enjoyed it! You are too kind, haha. I did intend for the MC to be conflicted - it's a part of his character development, and I hope the ending offered some resolution.
Cheers!
