Let me first say thank you to everyone who tried my little game.
There is an update to existing dialogues and the addition of some additional dialogue trees ready to go that will address some of the feedback I have received. (thank you for this btw!)
BUT! This update will not be applied until after the judges have finished their work.
What comes next?
Voice over. The first iteration of the game had AI generated voice lines for the protagonist. But due to the emotional themes of the game this really killed the mood so I scrapped them. I only left in the story book narrator since her unemotional tone fit pretty well.
With that said. The game doesn't have that much dialogue compared to other games in the genre. (its also super short). So I (my wife) will be recording the voices as soon as we find the time for it. I didn't buy this fancy sound setup for nothing!
Long term:
further expanding on the "loops". (spoilers here)
If the players feel the story to be engaging I would like to expand on the "mind loops". a new game+ so to speak where a layer of complexity is added onto each loop and the overall story gets expanded for each run until... maybe a win condition?... maybe...
