A complex many-variable bilingual game about love, November 17, 2018This game was featured in IFComp 2018. It has a beautiful custom interface featuring pixel-art animations, and includes sound.
Basically, love goes wrong on a train. The sequence of events just interrupts everything.
But, you have a chance to go back and change that sequence!
This is a wonderful premise. By going back and changing the order of things, you can unlock 7 preliminary endings and then a final ending.
However, I found the choices opaque. Instead of being able to strategize, it came down to more or less random guessing. There are some hints in the text (changing options, for one thing), but even with the walkthrough, I never reached the final ending on my own. I saw what it said, though, and I thought it was beautiful.
Because I struggled with the interactivity, I didn't receive the full emotional impact of the game. Other than that, I enjoyed it.
Edit: With help from the forums, I finished this, and I loved the ending.
Where I got stuck was (Spoiler - click to show)Forgetting to confess for the 'love' ending.
