That went surprisingly deep. Cool story.
Thanks for playing and glad to hear it surprised you!
Cool game fellow Pleiades game jammer! I loved the concept and presentation! Makes me realize we might have made mistakes in our english translations of the names of the pleiades in our own game haha :P
Thanks for playing my game! There were definitely multiple translations, so you're fine!
I found this really poignant and compelling! It made me reflect on philosophies I hadn't considered. I really like how each of the sisters had very different and meaningful outlooks, and how you have to adapt to and empathize with their points of view. I love narrative games and would love to play a more fleshed out version of this!
Thank you so much for your feedback! I would love to develop this idea further; it was such a stress to get so much story written for such a short amount of time.
I must admit I am not a fan of narrative based game, but I manage to finish the game and got the ending. Actually it was interesting feeling sorry I cant find words that fit it. I feel like the enjoyment following the stories and thinking about my answer to those questions.
Thanks for playing! I'm glad to hear that you found it interesting despite it not being a genre you normally enjoy.
Wow, what a great experience. As someone who doesn't usually play these sorts of games, and tend to skip through dialogue in a large number of games (although the games I've played often tend to focus on writing second anyway), the brief pauses after an option really forced me to read it, and before long I was voluntarily reading all of it (speaks to the quality of your writing too).
The visuals are also great, very appealing yet concise, and the only feedback I feel that I could really give is maybe some additional sound effects/dynamic visuals (although I'm not sure how easily Twine supports this), but overall extremely polished and very unique.
Thanks for the feedback and I'm really glad you enjoyed the writing! Yep Twine can definitely be a bit of a static experience, but I totally agree that adding sound and music would be a big add to the project.
English isn't my first language, but these reflections on love really hit home—it’s like looking into a mirror.
Thank you so much for trying out my game! It makes me happy to know that you identified with some of the content.
