Thank you for the feedback. In hindsight, I am wondering if I didn't just want to write a short story instead of a game! Also, I finally uploaded the version of the game that doesn't have the ending bugged out.

Yeah, it makes a lot more sense with the fixed ending(s)!
I guess this style of narrative game is sort of like writing several short stories at the same time. It's just a different mindset you have to adopt going in (although there are swathes of games that adopt a more typical linear approach, and are still hugely popular)
