Suppose you have a bomb. It sounds like a cool thing to have, because you can threaten to blow up everyone. You can demand things and stuff. Now suppose you, everyone, and the bomb are in the same room. Still pretty cool, but maybe now you'd look for a reason not to blow up everyone. Maybe now *everyone* will demand things from *you*.

One of the paths I took ended up taking so much text space, I couldn't scroll further to continue. I had to back-track to a different path.

I liked the concept, but it was hard to put myself in the shoes of the protagonist (antagonist?)

Thanks for the feedback, @liauj. Could you recall which path that was? Somewhere around the Mad Max reference? I'm fairly sure there is a bug or two in there.

As for the protagonist, well, yeah. I don't think it would be really possible to get someone sane to like the suicide bomber.

Wow. That's bleak. Interesting game though.

A really cool game with great writing. Some ambient music and maybe a different font would've tied it together, but I definitely enjoyed it either way, and the hand drawn notes were a nice addition. Nice job.

@eyedromeda Yeah, some ambient would really help, but I just didn't have the time. Good point with the font, it's something I just forgot about.
