You can still say no, August 24, 2025

With simple art carrying a hand drawn feel, suspenseful writing and an interesting premise, Year Sixteen is a short but entertaining VN. On another note, I'm a little more iffy on the choice of background music, particularly for the first half, but I didn't mind it too much.

Be warned, this story takes a darker turn. If that is not your thing, turn back.

You have turned sixteen. In the midst of all the celebrations, you learn of a terrible secret, once which may require you to head down a dark path. You have a single choice to make.

Speaking of the single choice you get here, it's not a traditional list of choices you get in the VN format. Instead, you have some object(s) you can interact with on the screen, which serves as your choice. (Interesting take on the single choice!) I managed to find two endings, and I'm not sure if that was everything. (Spoiler - click to show)You have to either push the button, or refuse to interact with it and let a hidden timer run out. Great idea there. Remember that you can still say no.

It was solid for a short bit of entertainment in the single choice jam. I liked it.
