I was not expecting to get such profound advise, reminded me of Kind Words. Funny thing is that it guessed my profession corectly and a couple of personal points. I enjoyed it a lot and nice take on the theme.
As soon ratings are open I will return to rate it.

Not much to it, it didn't seem like my choices really affected much in the end... Nice piece of advice I suppose, cute graphics.

The graphics, fades and audio are all amazing. The result really resonated with me, more so than if I would've picked other answers. Very well made.

Jees I gave honest answers and the result was a little bit too real, I love these kind of games. Could have been a bit longer and more complex in it's answers though

Good job with the music and the graphics...
I can't say the same about other categories though...

Neat idea, well executed. Wish it was a little more in depth, but great nonetheless!

I liked the music. I played it twice, selecting totally different answers each time to try to get a different ending, but I got the same one. Pretty cute though. Nice!

I liked it... when I saw the end I understood the use of the theme. It's a bit short, but it makes you think... Good job!

Nice little story, but the music was the best part!

I had a look in your source code and given the number of possible texts, there are more than 140ish different endings on this ^^ (maybe less because they are conditional)

The game itself is a bit short and like a good old text adventure. But the questions you asked made me think about myself and that is a huge thing in games, when they involve the player that much. Very good job!

I also liked the music :)

Keep up the good work!

Ha - this is pretty cute. I played it through twice to see if the endings changed dramatically. It's cool to see that there are different endings.

I really like that there is different music at different parts of the game. Very noticeable at the end in particular when you are revealing the fortune!

Short, lovely experience! I would've liked a few more answers, though!

This was a take on the theme that didn't occur to me before. Having a few more questions could have been fun, but other than that it's quite well put together.
