This game is about the love between Cygnus and Phaethon (my spelling may be wrong), written for the Neo Twiny Jam in 500 words or less.
It has few options, but each paints a picture of deep love. It uses some nice color choices to complement the story.
It's also very very slow. I thought a couple of times that the game had broken or dead-ended, only to realize after staring at it for ten seconds that it was actually going to change. I think it could benefit more from 'next page' links for pacing, or from static formatting.
Son of Helios hurtling towards the ground, as his lover Cygnus cannot take her eyes away from the body about to disappear. After abandoning her kingdom for the one she loved, she is now abandoned herself… But the fates or the gods have other plans for her…
It would have been nice to have a clearer indication the story ended. Because of how the previous passages were formatted, I was expecting a delayed text to appear…
