I feel like player interaction (other than clicking through narrative) would be welcome earlier in the game.
Audio in the menu would also be good.
But other than that I like the game, unique art style, good graphics and I love the soundtack. Very fitting.
I think I will try again :D (hope have a good ending for this one)
It doesn't seem to run in Firefox in OSX, though. The y-position of the initial buttons (+ text) seems to be outside of the container (and thus hidden), and if I hack around that,to press the button, the screen fades to black, but everything within the svg element that should fade in just stays hidden.
Otherwise, if you plan on continuing on the engine: I'd like it if I could click to make all of the text appear at once (since it appears so slowly), instead of always skipping to the next block. I think the usual click-'skip'-to-skip, click-anywhere-else-to-show-all approach is a rather considerate way of handling things.
Thanks for the feedback!!! Yes, I'm going to keep it going. I think clicking to complete the text is a great idea. You can keep track on the engine here:
