Ok... That was weird.... I came to play because of the game name.
My name is Clara, I love Terry Pratchett and classic rock.... I Think I Just found myself! 

Oh! And I'm an artist.... But I get well with my parents....

Loved it! Great job =)

One thing I really like in text adventures is when the game alludes to what could have happened if you had made a different choice. I picked the umbrella, and when I got to the park Sydney was cold and thought about how she should have put on her raincoat. I love little details like that.

For a narrative-based game, I didn't feel much of a story arc. I didn't feel much building of tension or payoff. However I understand that that would have probably been really hard to do in 48 hours, and to be fair I think the game makes up for it with its mysterious atmosphere.

Thanks for commenting! I like little details like that in stories, too, I'm glad you noticed it.  I agree that the arc could still use some work to make the ending more impactful. I'm hoping to make some revisions now that the jam is over!

Surprised to see a narrative game in this jam! :D I like the evolutions of choices, from small aesthetics impact to forced interaction bound to feelings. The story itself is well told. A bit vague, but I guess it's mostly about moods and the emotions it conveys. A cool experience overall! :)

Nice story, very well put together - I really wanted to see what happened next.

Story is awesome! Sound fits perfectly, it is a shame that the text is hard to read due to the Scrolling behavior
