hi jackie!
Excellent use of text effects and gameplay loops in this one! The core choices were interesting and invited multiple playthroughs, and each choice became more interesting over time. I appreciated that most of the narration was choiceless, and you used a simple click to continue format — one thing I might say is that the "Continue." hyperlink felt like it could have been replaced with a more minimalist signal to continue, since the rest of the hyperlinks were sparse as well, but that is a minor concern. I'd also say that this game is just the right length — the player gets to experience and understand the logic behind their choices, and evolutions of it, without any risk of the choices becoming tiresome or tedious. Ahab's voice was fun and felt appropriate, but I might recommend breaking up the all-caps passages of his dialogue a little bit; occasionally it felt gratuitous. Congrats! A super well-executed and appropriately-scoped concept.
