+ Nice emotional game
+ Music is nice, although a bit repetitive
Con:
- Choices doesn't seem to have any effect in story
Nice job!
Other than that, there isn't much here. I've played and enjoyed interactive stories this LD, but the story here is so simple, I'm essentially only clicking to get to the next part. However, the story is pretty cute and has some funny moments. There are places where I can tell that the writing would be good if the grammar got fixed. The cover art is nice, too.
The scrolling text is neat, but got boring after a while. I feel I would have had more patience if the story were just presented in non-animated blocks.
I don't want to sound too critical. Like I said, the idea is sweet, and there is some good comedy. You definitely have potential. Just, for the future, have a look at the grammar (or get a beta reader), and focus on making something with more player input.
