The design of the game is really *chef kiss*. I love how it changes between the different chapters to show the different settings. That said, it was hard to figure out how to get the next it of text. Scrolling was only working for the visible text, I just started clicking around to make it work at the end, but it was not very intuitive or easy to make it appear. I think there is a bit of delay as well?
The story was short and cute, but I am not sure whether it fits the theme well. Or maybe it's not that obvious? I dunno, it didn't feel like it was giving me cliffhanger like other submissions.
It was a shame that the way you told the story was a bit confusing. Skipping the spelling/grammatical errors, it was a bit confusing at each start of the chapters to see who was the first person narrator and who we were supposed to play as. Are we Bert? Are we Ernie? Are the choices Bert's or Ernie's?
Following both stories are fine, but the UI didn't help make the distinction between the two characters.
Finally, this felt more like a visual novel (as in reading on the screen, not really choice) than IF, which is a bit of a shame. I would have loved more choices (like telling the Grand-uncle off, or asking more questions around, or use the USB key...)
Pretty game, but falls short on the content. Still, thank you for creating it! It was neat to try something different.
Also, is this game based on some kind of Bert and Ernie meme? Cause that would be hilarious.
