The connection to the theme isn't necessarily explicit, but the theme is most definitely what brought me to this game.

This is probably one of the most personal, vulnerable games I've made... which is odd since it's adapted from a story I didn't write.

The gameplay is a fairly basic puzzle.

The game has five possible endings.

I couldn't really "connect" with this game.

I was able to mentally visualize this pretty well. I quite enjoyed the story/stories.

Thanks for trying something like this; it would be cool to see a larger focus on story in other submissions. By the way, who wrote the story this is adapted from?

That was both intense, smooth, and jarring at the same time.
Easily a mood 5/5.
Sadly, it was far to shocking to be "fun!" but it was still enjoyable to play.

Very interesting take on the theme!

A hard game to rate, but not because of a lack of quality. Very well done.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone!

ix: it's based on Buddhism's Parable of the Burning House, from the Lotus Sutra.

What's the original story ? Good job, it's really interesting twine entry.
