Thank you everybody! It means a lot to me.
The repeating structure and flow of text is interesting. And that effect at the end works really well! It's easy to overdo effects on the text when making IF, but keeping it simple like this makes it much more impactful :)
The structure of this is unique, and I can't explain why, but it feels really immersive or participatory, like the player is focusing their attention in the same way the protagonist is. I like the blurring effect at the end as well: like what has passed by is out of focus and the player/protagonist is having a moment of clarity about what matters now. Lovely! :)
I really like the presentation of the story. I like how the player should be picking the same choice over and over again until the flashback and the present collide. The text started overloaded with details on the scenery in the backdrop, yet the texts for the two people have significant less details about their location and more simplistic as a whole, so we get to focus on them. Both time and space are presented in this V-shape, in this funnel leading to the end. And I like how when you read the end, the rest of the text blurs, leaving on the the final line clear. Nice work.
