The Choice by matthewvermaak
My intention with this game was to bring the player into an isolated moment of time. Faced with a morally gray situation, the player will be asked to make a choice. Time will slow and the decision will require perseverance.

I try to translate the experience I had with your game into words and I can't.
This game clearly shows that 'Fun' is not a measurement every game should be rated under. Of course I didn't have fun playing the game, which doesn't mean I couldn't get something out it.
Thanks.
Took too long before any decisions were made.
To an extent I felt you foreshadowed things too much. It seemed clear what was going to happen because of the framing at the start.
I really don't know what else there is to say, other than how it was so very... Affective.
The music didn't loop quite-right, and the brief cut-out broke immersion a bit, but the story covered for it well.
Good work, and I very much look forward to your future entries!
Major quibble - the way the audio sample is looped needs work - it doesn't seem to loop smoothly at all. I found this really jarring, especially in a game that is all about the mood created.
Minor quibble - the game only just fit on my monitor and, given what it was doing, didn't seem to run as smoothly as it could have done.
That said, good effort.
The greyout graphics set the mood for the game very well.
Great job on this!
I don't want to play it again as it would feel like cheating. The scenario I created is my "truth" so to say.
i love these decision games!lol
Also, a lot of: :(
I liked the graphic. The music is pretty good, but I can't help but feel that it didn't match the mood of most of the story.
I'll probably come back to this game to see what happens if I choose differently.
