Notes on departure by withoutpillow
My first Ludum Dare entry (yay!), a Twine game about departure and choice.
The sf-setting probably has something to do with me reading a lot of science-fiction stories lately.

Twine is pretty much built for this kind of game. When picking a place to add player input/interactivity within a narrative... well, I think you did it right, in the way with the most impact :)
Still, i get a feeling you could have done more in 48 hours if you really wanted! Maybe next time!!! ;)
Nice, small interactive interactive work with great impact :]
If you wanted to add on something, maybe show us a bit more of the situation from the guy's perspective, i.e. him rushing to get there in time.
Good work!
thanks for playing!
Can't figure out how to get the second ending. (I thought it would come if you didn't leave a message, but that doesn't seem to be the case.) I might have to come back to bash my head against this game some more...
When I failed to write something in time, I discovered what the game actually is—a challenge against yourself to not just write, but also to be satisfied with what may be the last words someone who loves you may ever read. And the more you let yourself be immersed in it, the more important that decision feels.
I think the people who are saying this is not or may not be a game or putting game in quotes are being silly. It is a short, one-turn RPG, and it's beautiful and undiluted.
