Making a CYOA was a fantastic idea (and very nostalgic) even if a bit unorthadox. The story was very well written, the look was very minimalistic and the user experience was very smooth :). I did get a little confused with the starting text, as my first thought wasn't to click on it, but after figuring that out it was very obvious which text prompts I was able to interact with.

I do believe I got all of the endings (?) and while it's always sad there is no "good" ending, I think this fits the theme extremely well. There really is no winner in situations like these, where you hold the lives of millions+ in your hands. Truly a work of art, and I am so excited to see what you make going forward <3.

This one was hard to rate because audiovisual and gameplay are nonexistent, that doesn't mean the game looks or feels bad its just not that type of game, so I gave 4 stars. I really liked the short story though. I was frustrated at first that there wasn't a good ending, and how every possible decision you could make led to mass death and destruction, but I think I see how this is more about how there can be no winners in a nuclear conflict (unless I somehow missed some "secret good ending")

Excellently made text-based game with a unique interpretation of the theme! The choices were compelling and the writing did an excellent job of setting the mood throughout. While it's hard for me to compare this type of game with ones more focused on replayability or skill challenge, it was very well made, and I can't think of any real flaws. Great job!
