Editorial Reviews
The Gaming Philosopher
These characters do not want to die. They did not ask for the end of the world. But now that the world is ending, they can't truly regret it; there's a note, if not of triumphalism, at least of indifference to the fate of a society that was always at best indifferent towards the fate of queers.

Brave experimental piece, January 29, 2017by streever (America)
This incredibly short (10 second!) piece experiments with time as a constraint, something rarely seen in Interactive Fiction. A fast and constantly dwindling 10 second countdown speeds you along as you click through the options, expressing your love and living the last few seconds of a romance as the world ends. Wisely, the end of the world--the whys, the hows, etc--isn't examined. The time constraint means it can't be, letting the story of doomed love take center-stage.
I found the experiment at times frustrating, because I was racing through prose; but I think that's a form of success here, as it meant I re-played several times, trying the same and different paths.

Drawn in by the Title, February 25, 2021by fos1 (Under the Rainbow)
This is a QUICK game: 10 seconds. I had to restart several times to play through the whole story. I found it most enjoyable. It is quite clever and portrays a potentially difficult topic well. It is sensitive and thought provoking.
Note: You will have to access the game through the author's website. The play link in IFDB returns an error code.

Short, interesting art game, January 29, 2017by Xavid
This is definitely more art than game, but I find it a very interesting use of the Twine medium and the way the title, premise, and text you don't have time to read combine makes for an impactful and evocative feel. Plus, it's so short, might as well play it a few times. ^_^Was this review helpful to you? Yes No | Add a comment
