The linear path, June 24, 2025

Being very honest, I do feel quite bad about giving this game a three star review. After all, I do see a lot of passion here. Deciding what rating to give was something I really struggled with.

The writing here is strong and moving. However, this feels like a better fit for a linear novel than a twine game. The game is largely linear, and with one exception, the only times you get choices are when you hit one of the branching points in the game. (There are three paths in total, so do the math.) While the game is well written, the prose is a bit on the heavy side, and without a steady stream of choices, it was harder to feel invested.

Still, I appreciate the work which went into this. The writer also left some detailed notes at the end, which I recommend reading even if you decide not to try for all three endings.
