Nice work. I learned a bit of Morse Code. The "graphics" (especially the color changes) are minimal but work nicely with the story. I played a couple times to get the different endings.

Yea, I saw all the endings. I like the to0toototo sound. :)

Fun idea, I had a good time decoding everything. The story and all the little branches were great.

Very simple, but very entertaining. The sounds, graphics were very appropriate. Nicely done.

Hah, ok. That was entertaining. I gave it a couple of runs and enjoyed them. I think that you have fallen slightly below the technical definition of game XD

This didn't work for me in Safari (Mac). Chrome worked.

The color changes are a nice subtle touch.

Haha that was a really weird experience, in a good way. The haskell line was delightful. Graphics were minimalistic and nice.

Really enjoyed the almost augmented experience of having to figure out one half of the conversation, rather than just being a straight CYOA. Audio was appropriate and the themeing was solid, though I thought the comedy was a bit out of place after building a tense opening. Overall though, very enjoyable and impressively polished.

Hot curry.

I played through the few endings and enjoyed it. The humour was fantastic and the story was interesting. If anything, it felt too short for a text adventure.

I liked it :)
The simple graphics (color change work good) and the mood are good.

I will starting to use "you piece of BASIC" pun now. Is Haskell that awful? :D

I can click the option before it appears. On web I got "GwtApplication: Exception: (TypeError)" with endless stack.

Good fun, short and sweet, made me LOL. Makes me realise more interactive fiction should go the extra mile to make best use of the medium.

Our games are kinda similar, I guess, if you take out your Morse coding and my "battle system" ;) nice job! Had a fun time looking at code, like I said I would, I should probably start learning some openGL...

A good laugh! Thanks for making me learn morse code.

Awesome atmosphere going here. I'm not sure about the sudden dive into cornball humor in some of the endings, but for what little gameplay there actually is here, it's very engaging.

And I've always wanted to learn Morse. ;)

Nice minimalistic game!
At first I thought I had to learn morse again :)

Solid narrative and mood. Even without translating the morse bits I was able to figure out enough of what was going on to play through several times and experience different endings. Well done.
