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.\r<br\/>It's functional though, nothing broke, and completing the game took me back to the beginning as it should've.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Good job on getting the content in during the dare."},{"author_name":"arrogant.gamer","author_uid":"22995","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 2:45pm","epoch":1387204800,"text":"I do not agree with the views expressed in this game."},{"author_name":"Mekuri","author_uid":"20130","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 2:14am","epoch":1387246140,"text":"An innovative idea.
