*Update* Removed an audio track that wasn't being used. This should make the file size a bit smaller than before.
*Before Playing* I highly recommend you go through this game twice. It isn't very long, so no need to worry about time. It's more of a notgame than an actual game. I also suggest you go right the first time; trust me.
Okay, this game was meant to be something a bit grander, however, I have little-to-no experience doing something like this and I'm a fairly new programmer. So, I decided to cut out a lot of the game. The file size is due to audio files.
I hope that even in this butchered form, that is barely a shadow of my original idea, it still comes somewhere close to having the impact I wanted. If it does, then this will have been worth it and perhaps worth me actually taking the time to complete it.
I apologize for the bad audio. :)
Thank you.
PS There's a chance the linux version might not work. If you can, post a comment letting me know if there are any errors since I don't have a linux pc set up to test.
PSS Sorry about the lack of a mac version. I'll see what I can do, but like the linux version I can't promise it'll work.
clever use of audio to frame the game. i really really like the scary noises later on. the idea kind of sounds like the game the stanley parable, though it's hard for this sort of thing to work effectively without much context.
Yea, I had a lot more plan, where it would go through the stages of the red circles life and have other options besides the one in the beginning. I'll definitely be working on a complete version. Thanks for the comments!
Quite depressing actually, but still enjoyable. It would be nice to have more choices, as well as maybe the ability to skip certain audio parts you've heard before - it could make the choices easier to explore.
Super depressing, but in a good way. The sound effects may not be great, but the music (and the occasional piano note on its own) and that voice are done really well.
I wish I could pronounce my words better, but sadly when I was a child and first moved to California they didn't offer any speech classes. I was never able to fix my diction issues, so this is the best I could muster. :) Thanks everyone!
Well that was intense. I love the simplicity and how well paced the narration is, though it was a bit of a pain to listen to the beginning again just to see what happened when I went left. This really has emotion to it, and in a good way. Great game.
Thank you. Believe me, I know how you feel. I had to listen to the entire thing every time I had a bug or added a scene just to make sure it all worked correctly. Haha.

I'm a terrible red circle.
