This entry had an interesting use of the theme, with a collection of snippets of his life flashes before him, as Stan is about to die. The writing is quite nice, and flows pretty well from one snippet to another (what'd you'd expect in that kind of situation). Stan struggles with a lot of things in his life, especially his family breaking apart following his divorce due to his actions, and I thought the writing did a pretty good job representing this. The final beat of the game had me chocking up.
However, I wasn't fan of the Interface (you need to open the game in full screen to play). The white text is often really difficult to read against the bright background (can't be changed) and the font size changes depending on the amount of text. The way the interactivity is set up (having to click Continue at the bottom then go to the top of the page for the option) becomes a bit annoying. There is also barely any coherence in the style of the different backgrounds (AI generated), with the characters represented looking like completely different people from one screen to another.
