*note* I realized instantly "oh yeh, I'm not a writer" so the story is a bit guff sorry :/ I will work on it. I just wanted to get something done. Enjoy.
The idea behind the game is that we only have one life. That we rush around or spend time doing un-important things and miss really important things. So I tried to simplify that down to having only one day and it is basically an interactive story.
Please enjoy.
Sorry for the lack of audio. I will have a fuller version in a week or so with all the scenes and story arcs and audio.

MVP : I had to strip right back on this one sadly. I had to take out whole scenes. "A day in the office", "The walk to work". I had to take whole story arc's out of the current three scenes so it really is a bare bone MVP. I hope I have somehow still managed to get across the sentiment but we shall see.
I am going to experiment with this art style more as it's probably my favourite thing from doing this.
Simple but very pretty graphics, and I quite like the story even if it is incomplete. It was quite eerie. I especially liked the "For once you are making your own choices" and all 3 options were the same. Very clever. :P
I really liked this, it was really pretty even with simple shapes. I wish it was complete :( I did like what was done though, and I'll come back when you are done to finish :)
I liked a LOT the visual style. I also liked the game idea, but I felt my decisions weren't really meaningful to the story (sure, the text change but nothing seems to really change for the history itself, the character, his enviroment, his life)
I also hated (not in a bad way) to bump with the pseudoending. But I also found that very interesting in terms of mood. The game talks to "you" in a narrative way, but suddundly, the game becomes a character (in this case the maker of the history) and he talks to "you", I mean, the protagonist as well as the player. Strange, interesting...
Whether you finish this or start another experiment of this kind, I wish you success!
Haha, the bit where you get presented 3 chess tables made me laugh. For once I was making my own choices. ;)
I love the style of this and your way of storytelling - even if the main character seems a bit of a downer. Hope you continue with this - I'd totally play a more complete version at a later date!
