The aesthetics and the story/writing of the game was excellent! I didn't mind the lack of gameplay (it did require some choices though the consequences were minimal) since the experience was beautiful. It's a good interactive trailer for a novel but if you ever felt like doing more chapters like this, I'd definitely look forward to playing them.
P.S. Try enabling Kiosk mode to hide the SlideShow buttons below. You'll have to add your own triggers to advance the slide though.
