Reminiscence of lost friends, January 21, 2024
by MathBrush
Related reviews: less than 15 minutes

This is a brief Twine game with a single branch, giving a tale of grief and loss.

Each of the two branches gives a slightly different story, although the beginning and end are the same.

The story is about a pair of couples, Emmett/Harry and Juno/Bell, who were friends in high school. Juno and Emmett meet up years later to discuss what they have lost.

The writing is emotional and descriptive. There's not much going on in the way of significant choice; the two different branches are meaningful, though.

Reminiscing on what once was, January 14, 2024
by manonamora
Related reviews: shufflecomp

This is a short and emotionally charged entry, split into two mirroring branches, each providing a perspective on the relationship and set of events. Complimenting each other, as they provide insight into vague mentions, the story goes back and forth between snippets of the past and the present meeting. Said meeting is bittersweet, filled with regrets and sadness for past actions, but also reminiscing on the beautiful moments and feelings that was.

It was very touching.
