A reflection on a past life experience and how I changed because of it.

Nice! Good concept!

Very interesting take on the theme, and a very touching story. Visuals are also quite minimal and pleasing.

Can someone please explain the "That's it" part? I clicked it around 1000 times and all it does is creating lines.

I'm missing something...

Well written text with a nice layout.

That hit me pretty hard, I'm well accustomed to the feelings the story describes :c

Wow, good writing. Kept me engaged through the whole story.

If anyone else hits an issue with 'That's it' not continuing the story, could you please let me know the browser you're using in the comments. Thanks!

Ah. That's it doesn't work on Safari, OSX.

CJKinniauthor18 Apr 2016, 12:30

Thanks. Must be an iOS/Safari bug.

Gosh this is a very familiar situation to me. I like the focus on planning, and the ambiguity about whether making plans really makes a difference, because in truth it is hard to tell whether you are beating depression or not sometimes. The parallel with state space simulations mentioned at the beginning is very interesting, I wonder if in some runs it's possible to come back to that in the resolution? I'd be very interested to know if treating one's own health instrumentally in this way is part of the ambivalence being explored here. In any case, very thought provoking work, thank you for making it!

Fixed the bug. Thanks for letting me know about it. Please leave a comment if anyone's still having trouble with the game.

"That's it" now works on Safari :)

Oh man. That was intense. I hope you have reached a place where things are looking up.

Excellent use of the medium to tell a story, and a unique take on the theme.

Really interest way to interpret the theme. I love story games, and this one was no exception. Reminded me of Depression Quest, but better. Great job!

Great entry! I loved your take on the theme.

The layout really fits your story.
It tooks me to the guts and I kept playing it a few times. Thank You.
