That was a nice game. The music was very good and fit in perfectly. I felt like it was too short though which didn't allow me to feel for the characters like what I'm guessing was intended. Good work!

Hm, yeah. I think what I did was that I probably didn't explain what's going on enough. and thanks XD

Glad it was confusing XD. I'll probably explain that in a post-mortem after a bit to let it sink in what I was trying to say in this little piece.

If I had to guess. It was about you meeting the only other person in the world compatible for a relationship, then you guys find a car and drive and life is great. Then you get in a crash and you have to carry your significant other to the hospital, but it turns out they are in the mafia and a sniper shoots them and you are left all alone once again when you need them most: during an earth quake. After that I really don't know what happens...interesting game though.

I don't see the link with 10 seconds.
Red people are all the same ?
It's tiny, but not explained so much.

@crazyrems
Yeah, I think that was my biggest problem. Hopefully when I update it, it'll be easier to understand.

Seems like this is small vignettes into someone's life? I like it. Lets the user decide what they saw/experienced. My interpretation? Story follows someone meeting their soul mate. Life happens and you accidentally crash into another couple, killing one of them. Your partner survives but eventually the surviving member in the other car seeks revenge and shoots the center of your life. Your world literally falls out beneath your feet.

Interestingly, the game doesn't give you a choice whether or not to interact with the next potential partner (it won't proceed unless you get rejected) which then gives the player the option to walk by the last potential partner. Whatever your choice directly affects your last scene walking in a less crowded area.

As for ending abruptly? This game packs in someone's entire life within a few seconds and gives you a statisfying ending if you look for it. Check out my submission for an abrupt ending lol

Great simple visuals that get the job done, nice piano track make for a very compelling game. This story is great. Bravo guys.
