YOLO, Obviously by carlsommer
This is essentially a text-based "adventure" where you walk through different stages of life (beginning in college) and follow your thoughts along the way. The aim is to encourage the player to begin thinking or re-thinking various attitudes and ideas they may have taken or had throughout their life regarding various subject matter, including religious subject matter.
I apologize that many of the thoughts cannot be fully represented (and may seem misrepresented) within the scope of a Ludum Dare. This is not an attack on any beliefs but minimal expression of my own.
Conversations would be welcomed, but the comments section would not be an ideal setting for actual conversation. Feel free to email me if you wish. (carl.sommer@yahoo.com)

What is Yolo?
On the other hand I feel like the game advances awfully fast, and the implied morality that was thrust upon me when I chose a non-religious path seemed a bit over the top.
Admittedly it made me giggle, because it just seemed so incredibly out of nowhere. I mean, Suddenly Jesus and quite a few very heteronormative choices along the way. The initial paths also didn't match up with anything I would've actually done as a person.
It's functional though, nothing broke, and completing the game took me back to the beginning as it should've.
Good job on getting the content in during the dare.
That said, the dialog was pretty funny, and you DO say up front that it represents your views, so I can't really fault you there.
I found the game a bit weird but it's an original and interesting take on the theme.
Good idea.. Or God idea lol
THIS!!1
Quite unique "game", I'm not sure I can call it fun, but it's interesting for sure.
Just wanted to mention that you have to provide source in one way or another to comply with the compo rules.
