Nice short story, although I didn't really have the feeling that my choices had any real impacts besides the attributes on the bottom (played it around 3 times). But maybe that is the morale of this story, that your choices don't really matter because you're set on a rail. 🤔

And this isn't even the most on-rails game in this jam, in that regard!
Thank you for the kind words. When it became apparent that we'd not have time to implement the full gamut of moral problems that we'd like to represent (especially without going in the direction of Neal.Fun's famous trolley problem game, which has a similar conceit but different vibe), I picked a narrative stopping point that I suppose can be viewed as the end of the introduction to a larger piece.
It's interesting that you mention a moral to the story, because - although trolley problems get memed a lot right now - we took a slightly deeper dig into the virtue ethics propositions that underlie the original form of those questions.
