I couldn't listen to the music, but I enjoyed the writing.

Very evocative. The first time I've seen an epistolary piece of interactive fiction--it works well!

Each letter was interesting on its own, which kept me going to the end. Kind of puzzled as to how everything ended up ending, though, given my choices. Well done!

The music and writing style really set the atmosphere, and some interesting choices too - I liked this. (p.s. for anyone struggling with text not showing up or getting cut off, I found that zooming out in my browser helped)

Thanks! I really enjoy doing my thing when a good story is in place.

Love the music. Interesting emotional/characterization flow from the choices.

The music is my favorite part too!

Thank you, I am satisfied with how the dual narrative of pyotr/burgoyne came out. Wish I could've had more time to work on the narrative instead of getting swamped in exporting bugs, but it is what it is.

I appreciate your feedback regarding music. I also enjoyed playing "The vanishing Hitchhiker". Really good character's animation, camera and a nice story too. Congrats!
Next time, feel free to contact me XtuK#9553 at Discord. And if you still want to add music to the game, l would love to help. Cheers.
