This might be my favorite writing in any IF game. It gives exactly the right amount of details, delivered for maximum effect. It is extremely well-paced, with impactful reveals at just the right moments. On one hand, I think one of its most effective traits is its economy; at the same time, I was really wanting more. I played a through a second time immediately after finishing. Regarding the ending, (Spoiler - click to show)I really, really wish there could have been one or two more branches. The fact that this game goes places most wouldn't adds to my appreciation. For those who can handle content of this nature, I give it my highest recommendation.
