Love you more - A visual novel about the last ten seconds of a bank robbery aftermath and why things escalated the way they did.

There are four different endings, and almost every scene can be viewed in at least 2 different ways. Enjoy finding them all!

A Ludum Dare Visual Novel entry.
Created with the Ren'Py framework in the JEdit editor. Pictures made with a Samsung S2 phone. Graphics edited with Paint.net Sound made with FL Studio.
Game contains mature content, cursing and violence. You're welcome.
############################################
The game contains 427 screens of dialogue and at least five movie references. These screens contain a total of 7,733 words of which about two are spelled correctly, for an average of 18.1 words per screen. A widescreen. Why did I use a widescreen resolution? The game contains 26 menus and part of my soul.
Not a fan of visual novels/text adventures, but it's a nice game! Liked the story, the options menu, and the sounds/music. Only critique I have is that the file size is very big.
Wow. This was intense. Despite the frequent spelling/grammatical issues (I'm assuming English isn't your first language), I enjoyed this very much. I was thunderstruck when I told Sofie I loved her more and she only said "I know". I have no idea how you wrote so much content in the 48 hours. This is incredible :)
As someone who really loves visual novels, this was an interesting one! The graphics weren't really my taste, but the story was definitely very engaging. Great work!
Nice word game, I like the story. I featured it in my compilation video of Ludum dare 27 games, if you'd like to check it out http://youtu.be/PSym67k7zBg
Agreed @vittorioromeo, these text adventures are really common for some reason, but the graphics and audio were great. Not much "fun" though, also doesn't really fit the theme, oyu just sort of threw 10 seconds in there
I never played/watched a VN before. And... well... I want more now! Excellent take on the theme. Good story. Sometimes it was difficult do read the "top" texts. Great job!
This is a really good idea for a narrative, and one that used the theme quite well. However, given that you didn't do anything particularly special with the game engine, I feel like you should have been more careful about your grammar. Get to know the engine a little better, too... when the flashback titles popped up, it would have been better if the titles had come up automatically rather than waiting for player input on a black screen.
Great atmosphere and very engaging story. Also great work with the sounds and music. Especially the dynamics of the music volume. Not much "game" here since there's not much player choice, but good work all the same.
Damn, intriguing story! Wasn't expecting to get into it. Over stylized photos strangely work ok in this case. And all that in 48h ! Crazy amount of work. Great job!
Very nice atmosphere in that.. Did you make all those photos in the 48hour, while programming? That's amazing! Didn't liked too much the filter you used, but probably help to mantain the atmosphere of flashbacks.. Nicely done!
