short but very strong...you have excellent writing skills! You delivered all the information i needed to understand the scenario and make decisions as the mc in a very short amount of words! And it was all a pleasure to read too. 

The premise of the story is really intriguing...if u ever decide to expand upon it, id totally read that owo

Oh my gosh, thank you very much! Yes, I am thinking of revisiting this after the jam is over to just give it a bit more content or otherwise, I'm not yet sure. But if inspiration strikes, I am definitely not opposed to expanding the universe.

Thank you for trying it out!

Beginining is very strong. From abstract to material in a few sentences, I really liked it, and this is those very first words that will decide if I read to the end (and I did)(or maybe I did because someone somewhere prophetized I would ?)(wait...)

Ohhhhhhhhhh I've been wanting to check this one for a looooong while now!!!!  And it really did not disappoint now that I really got to it!!

It feels like Good Omens in a way? A way that I really dig?? And the way the Gods just roll their eyes "YEAH SURE FIRE, WHATEVER!!!". I guess they were just testing you, to see what you'd do...

I am fine with this outcome 100% -u- Let it come! I'll see what I can do with my 75 years.

Yes, achievement "Disappointment Averted" get! LMAO Kidding aside, thank you for checking it out! Your comment has me hyped. (A lot can happen with 75 years. A good lot.)

I was intrigued, until the last line from the higher power.  Then, I was grinning madly.  Oooh, I loved that last line.  Nice build-up to a fantastic conclusion!

Oooh! I'm curious now as to which one you got. Glad you liked it! Thanks for playing!

I wish there were proper spoiler tags but here it goes: It was the one where the higher power goes "Fine, no apocalypse today" or something like that.  I loved that little hissy fit.  xD

LMAO, yes! They didn't like that their whims were not catered to. Tsk tsk.

This is really cool! I love the abstractness of it. It's very... fatalistic (in a good way)!

A couple compelling choices that made me want to go back and try again, especially the "higher power" spectrum one. Very cool.

Oh gosh, thank you! Glad you liked it. I really tried for variation there, so I'm glad it came through.

What a cool premise. I dig that you went very abstract with the theme, it's a very unique take. And I love prophecy stories that twist your expectations. They're such a perfect match for this kind of storytelling. Nice work!

Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked it. I also dig stories that put that twist on the prophecies, and this was a good opportunity to give it a try.

This turned out really well! The premise was neat and I think this was probably the best prose of any entry I've read so far? Great job!

Thank you so much for trying it out! Honestly, I had a bit more ideas to add to it, but unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to execute them and add them in time. I might revisit after the jam. But in any case, thank you again! I appreciate the feedback!
