Here is my interpretation on the subject. It's a humble visual novel, a story about money and greed. There are 3 unlockable endings, so some choices do matters in the end.
The game may be a bit buggy and not completely in correct english.
Enjoy!

Enjoyable little visual novel. Nice art and use of photography. No audio but that's ok. Story generally fitted theme. Choices felt a bit inconsequential sometimes, not sure why. Overall a short but satisfying story.
A very general story with nice graphics. Sadly, I expected the endings at the beginning :/ Would be more interesting and unique, if you had added some more choices for the gameplay. But after all, good job :)
Very nice art, nice mix of drawing and pictures, they blend together quite well. There don't seem to be very big choices, probably because you were running out of time. Sure, the story was a litlte cliche, but it was also very evocative. And junie is very beautiful! :-)
Really cute art, i love it! I think the story about greed that consumes you the more money you get is a little bit rushed, but i do understand that you haven't got much time to do a more developed one, so that's fine for the jam version. Overall it's a really well made novel, good work!
Do you have a website or blog that I can find more of your art? It is wonderful! The visual novel was nice but I wish there were more things I could influence. There were points where text ran off the screen and some minor spelling errors. I have never seen a visual novel for Ludum Dare before, it's nice. Have you tried using Renpy? If you haven't, it's a super easy to use + "program" visual novel maker. Nice entry!
Looks like my art is way better than my story-telling ahah
Sure, I have a Facebook page where I (used to) upload my drawings/experiments with various softwares : https://www.facebook.com/artkyoute/ (It's in french though but drawings don't speak)
I know about Renpy yeah, but I wanted to try with Unity in case I wanted to add more various gameplay elements :) (point n click, platformer, turn based battle...) For example, last year, I made a point'n'click visual novel game : http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-37/?action=preview&uid=125666 (this one was programed in JS with Cocos2d-X)
I agree with @bart-huylebroeck that story was a bit too cliche. But why not? It fits the the theme nicely. Not a big fan of using photos as backgrounds (but that's understandable when you have only 72 hours). Characters looks great. Overall it's a solid jam entry.
The story is way too cheesy but the graphics is pretty nice. The theme is on point but I was mainly bored during the game due to lack of action and decisions.
Very nice use of theme! I like the art too, especially the animations, since they added a lot of life to an otherwise static visual novel. I enjoyed the whole game, my only small gripe would be the lack of proofreading (which is understandable since LD is a race against the clock!).
On a a sidenote, I could only find two endings, good and bad. I'm curious, how do I reach the third one?
