Doesn't run, missing MSVCP140D.dll (debug dll). Maybe compile a release version ?

The art is amazing, the story is touching, the ending is depressing. This was a wonderful experience (short as it was) and a very interesting take on the theme! In all areas this was an excellent game... except for actual gameplay. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE what you have here, but it wasn't something that I would play for fun (which it doesn't have to be). Overall, you did a great job.

I honestly couldn't tell if I was the computer or human (until the options which only a machine would say), which was actually kinda cool.

The ending was crazy. It was so peaceful until then. I liked it.

The graphics were quite good too I thought.

I think you should include controls on this page. I couldn't figure it out for a bit.

Same problem here as for many others. Missing some DLLs.

Sorry for the delay fam, the new link is updated with a Release mode build. Hopefully it works for people who weren't able to play the game before

I really enjoyed that game. It was a genuinely compelling story told in like 5 minutes, and I was totally invested in what was going on. Really, I was very impressed how quickly you were able to get me to care about the setting and characters just through a few lines of flavor text and an interesting presentation of dialogue choices. Great work!

Lovely graphics, great stor both creating a great setting. I'm impressed by your story telling skills.

Also one of the options made me think about this (you might already know about it): but there are already quite a few Quantum Computers, you can even use one for free: https://www.research.ibm.com/ibm-q/
