Really difficult to know what was going on.. Interesting story for the theme, but it could use a bit more game to be a game.. one time it was just text and then the menu came, the next time I moved a marble quickly then menu again.
I'm not sure if I saw everything. Had to restart few times, because at first after "click to start" I had a freeze, and at seconds try I started at one of the endings. On third try I had one clicking even before the ending, not sure if that was intended. (Kontregate build, mac, chrome)
I saw the various endings and had no technical problems.
I dig the surreal 3D models.
It is confusing when the controls switch from mouse to arrow keys... it didn't immediately register with me as a "platforming" level.
I enjoyed this, but it's pretty bare-bones in terms of gameplay... maybe a playable version of the marbles game described or something could've added more immersion.
Wow, this was pretty disturbing, like a weird art-school movie you watch in a museum. I appreciated that you did something experimental! Top marks for mood. I got all three endings. I felt confused about how to control the "kiss" part, but I found that clicking fast would take me to the "marble" storyline, so that was enough for me. :)
Firefox crashed after start on kongregate :( Chrome worked but there was only a cinematic and no gameplay at all (apart of clicking to skip the dialogues), apart of that, creepy & interesting story :)
No problems playing the web version on chrome. The surreal and slightly disturbing graphics really helped to make the mood. Really interesting dialogue kept me hooked. Played all three endings :)
Weird... I had problems in Web version. The game is really different, with an intriguing story and plot. The controls is difficult, and layout didn't help with understand the game. But, good job!
Using Chrome on Macbook here, getting a WebGL crash on the web version at the fadeout after clicking start. The OS X version doesn't start up at all. : (
This game freaked me out. I like the idea of having different paths to choose. I felt like you tried to do something 3D but didn't have enough time to finish it. The story is interesting, making me want to know more about it. Unexpected entry. Good job!
fantastic, often disturbing, atmosphere! your art style is unique and very powerful, and the music works great with it. interesting and thought-provoking entry.
I don't know if I happened to get all three endings in the perfect order, but it was really interesting that each one shed light on the imagery and themes from one of the previous endings.
The surreal and fractured imagery fits the theme and mood really nicely.
I was going to mention that I liked the dynamic main menu, and then when I went back to look at it again, I just realized what the menu was! :D
It's awesome that you worked so much hidden meaning into this. The backgrounds. The recurring motifs of certain objects. (Don't want to spoil anything.)
This is one of the most unique entries I've seen. Keep up the good work. :)
The game kept crashing for me for whatever reason. :/ I included it in part 27 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/DOSk1bi234E

I had trouble with it as well. The web version crashed Firefox and the downloaded windows version lagged a lot between scenes.

App for OS/X doesn't work either...
and thanks again for playing and commenting!
