Intriguing. This left me with more questions than answers haha. A personal game. It felt like having a conversation with someone about how they viewed the 'human condition'. I'm down.

Mech Amends: Marriage Counseling

Thanks!  It really was rather personal.  Especially the 'peace' ending, I kind of drew on my own ideas of what it would be like to be guided to paradise.

Thanks!  Like I mentioned earlier, that one is my favorite ending.  Its kind of a weird one, but I'm glad people are enjoying it.

I like the poetic rhetoric! It really carries the story and keeps the exposition lean and forward-driven.

Thanks!  I wanted to go for a more experimental writing style with this one, so I'm glad its been working out.

Great story, I played through every ending.

I really liked the idea of early civilisations having access to hightech and how that would turn out. I must say though that the game really would have profited of some light background music, in my opinion :)

Thanks! 

When I saw that 'prehistoric' was one of the themes, I definitely had the same thoughts you did.  What if a caveman (or whatever the proper term for prehistoric sentient is these days) was granted the knowledge to build a robot?  Then I started building from there and it got a little weird.  xD  Also, admittedly, I'm still new to Ink, so I...actually...have no idea how to add music.
