Wow, that was an effectively unsettling story! Was thinking for a moment it would be romantic and then it turned into something quite different. The music really adds to the experience, especially near the end.

This was an unpleasant time! You deliver the unsettling atmosphere with your writing + the music and other elements. I experienced this whole scenario and my first ending as very horrifying indeed--definitely meets the brief of the comp. Good job.
I’ve had some trouble deciding what exactly to write in this comment, because I struggled with the game itself. It made me deeply uncomfortable, and I wasn’t sure that it was meant to do so in the way that I did.
A lot of the comments describe the game as romantic, but I was overwhelmed by how well you presented Andrew as a realistic abuser. He made my skin crawl from the first meeting, and all I wanted to do was get away from him. Yet he was also presented as in some ways attractive, especially in the shed sequence.
After looking at the various endings I’ve come to the conclusion that he is meant to be the monster I took him to be from the very start, and for the same reasons — he’s a narcissistic abuser, and a sexual predator.
I loved this! Scary, bizarrely romantic, and great dialogue. Caught a number of typos and it could use a bit more proofreading, but if this is your first completed Twine game, hope to see more in the future.
DUDE HOW THE HECK did you hit last place?! Absolutely do not let that rating influence your view on the quality of the game, it's absolutely phenomenal. Definitely don't let that get you down, you're an incredible game designer and author, and I definitely hope to see more of your work in the future <3
