This absolutely brought me back all the best kinds of nostalgia from my childhood when this sort of thing only existed in the form of choose-your-own-adventure books (at least as far as I knew when I was a kid with no laptop, haha.) Only this is even better because the sheer number of choices is a delight :3 As are the drawings that accompany the pages and the atmospheric music too.

I really enjoyed how many different things I could do. From the bigger choices to the smaller ones. And I especially loved being able to describe myself not just by picking a gender for reference, but also things about the character's past and how the people around them perceive them because of that.

I've only played the one time so far, and while I made sure to do a lot of digging around and interacting, I certainly haven't exhausted all the choices that are available. I generally chose to be as polite as possible. I don't want to spoil too much, but I started out making the sorts of choices I would make myself, such as attempting not to bother people with my problems. I was a little concerned that may wind up with my demise, haha. So I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered I was able to make those decisions and continue playing rather than being punished for being timid.

I definitely found myself wanting more once I reached the end, so I hope that development goes smoothly! :3 I'll be back for more in the future. I have a feeling that I may be wishing for the option of cheating like I used to with those books by putting my thumb on the choice page in case I make a decision that leads to my death because everything built up to be rather foreboding :D
