I sort of lost track of what I was supposed to be doing somewhere through, it just felt a bit repetitive and I wasn't sure if I was moving forward in the game or not.  I thought the idea behind it was really interesting though, and it was really nice that you could go back to a previous choice without having to restart the whole game.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Nalah","author_uid":"1074060","time":"2018-12-05T16:02:28Z","epoch":1544025748,"modified":1544025748,"text":"The graphics are beautiful, well done !","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"crazyrems","author_uid":"1001975","time":"2018-12-06T22:06:29Z","epoch":1544133989,"modified":1544133989,"text":"I don't really know what is demisexual.
