Well written storyT The transition action is funny at the beginning. After a while it becomes a little too slow. I appreciated a lot that you added the save game feauture :)

I like how you advance all threads of this nonsensical story at the same time. There is some humour in that. Especially the child of a hurricane and a windmill had me laughing. Unfortunately the transition from screen to screen was too tedious and I did not complete the game.

...I don't get it...

Writing is fine, and brings about some excellent poetry skills. I actually do like all the thread of the story barging in very suddenly, with seemingly no reasoning. I'm not sure I understood the purpose of that setup, though, as I couldn't tell how the ending wrapped all those threads up.

I agree with above comments that the story is a bit slow in pacing, and that does tamper the enjoyment of the game. At times, while in the middle of swiping between transitions, it would kick in very early between 2 text sections, that the first text becomes obscured and difficult to read. As such, I ended up skipping parts of the story since I couldn't read a paragraph or two anymore.

ETA: also, I get many of those artworks were drawn and depicts images of ye olde times, but a few were...yikes. And I guess Tom was already ahead of the times for watching Simpsons and playing video games in an era where neither could have existed.

Bonus points for humour! Would've been more fun without the wipes , maybe if you were developing more, some alternate paths / decisions to make would be cool. Without any choices / free will, it's a bit like a slide show.
