The artwork is really consistent and the music sets the athmosphere well. It was quite unnerving to keep going as I never really knew what's coming next. I still had to continue to see the story. And I found a little humour here and there as well, which was great.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>At first it felt like you have to swipe the options a bit too far. However, I got used to it and at least you don't make accidental choices so easily. Some text were on a tiny font because the whole text was fitted to the screen. Perhaps there could be a scrollable text view but at the same time I wonder how well it would work with swipes.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Sometimes successive parts felt a bit disconnected (like sitting on a roof -&gt; mysterious rock), but it must be hard to make customized texts for each option during a jam.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I still need to try other options later. I want to try to find this ancient technology they are talking about.."}],"images":["ld36\/87967-956f966cb63360c194b61ca62b95381c.jpg","ld36\/87967-db21577f9edefd01126b95f3aa9f3003.jpg","ld36\/87967-adf834d7a0a5c51628252dc809b967e7.jpg","ld36\/87967-39e31a285f7c3524e8c566c6d715cb4a.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/0B_3n_cE8XHJFdHlyVnhubFpudGM\/view?usp=sharing","text":"Android"},{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/0B_3n_cE8XHJFS3VDOFhZMXNuNGc\/view?usp=sharing","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/Soupstraw\/ludumdare36","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"655","g_author":"87967","g_event":"LD36","g_eventkey":"35","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"733","g_title":"Melancholy","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"1","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/87967-shot0-1472480735.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/87967-shot1-1472480721.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/87967-shot2-1472480721.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/87967-shot3-1472481202.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Your life is dictated by decisions you make.
