I think the writing was very solid on this one, and the length of the game is very impressive for the game jam itself! What I didn't like that much was two things that maybe I just didn't understand or catch too well:

- I decided to hang out with Ainsley (I think I remember her name right) and immediately got a chance to kiss her. I didn't really remember her from previous events - maybe it was because of my choices - so I had no idea what's the source of my sudden affection!

- I got the feeling that the first choice of the cards doesn't matter too much, as it's the second that actually seals our fate, right?

Besides of those, I enjoyed the game and had good time with it :)

Thanks for playing! I'm really glad you enjoyed it.

These are some very fair criticisms. I should really have made it that the option to make out with the NPCs only if you'd chosen to hang out with them in the club, which would require some reorganisation of the reveal.

I had planned a more branching narrative based on the cards originally but unfortunately ran out of time and had to do some quick restructuring, so the choice of fate definitely didn't affect things as much as I intended. I didn't want to risk leaving the player feeling disempowered by basing their eventual path on a veiled choice earlier in the game, but that ended up rendering the earlier choice less meaningful as a result. Thank you for the feedback and I'm hoping to rewrite the ending at some point in the future :)
