Use of the limitation
Loving someone who isn't right for you often means either sacrificing parts of yourself to keep the peace, or constantly clashing until the love you had is worn away. Either resources are limitless, nothing lasts forever.

The art got me a little confused, but I enjoyed the game. Pretty cool!
Interesting use of the limitation. The drama was very entertaining and suspense of what would happen if I chose an option was exciting. Nice one.
I would've preferred The Rock (the guy) to also create some situations for the girl to make a choice, but I understand it's a jam game and can't have a full-on choice based narrative gameplay.
Great job.
Oh no I think I know who they are, are the girls initials Y.T. (No spoilers for others) If that's it im glad that isnt one of the endings :') I like your take on the theme and limitation, deep down im telling myself there is secret ending to make things work D':
Yup you got her right. I was just searching "random men" and the rock is one of the first to show up on pinterest and her case leave an impression on me so she is the first internet female I thought of. There is no deeper meaning behind this so no there is no secret ending lol... But now it sound tempting... Thank you for playing.
I like the idea, and I understand the idea of a relationship that's not sustainable, but I would've liked to see how the girl's qualities also hurt
The Rockthe guy. It being so one-sided hurt the relatability a bit, but for such a short story it really conveyed its message well! If I understood correctly it's based on a personal experience so I wish you the best for the future!Also didn't get the girl...
Thank you for playing. Base on what I saw and my personal preference, no one play a jam game more than ~5 min. I would give the character more story arc if I could but for the sake of getting the message across in such a short amount of time I have to condensed it to this final story. Also thank you for worrying about me. I'm happy with my current life now.
Another hint: the blood she were cover in were from her boyfriend. He were also in the background in the irl picture... naked and cover in blood.
At this point I think you guy can just google all the clue and find out who she is. It is an interesting case and what more interesting is what she is doing now. It is a crazy world we are living in to let this outcome happened.
This was bittersweet, and well written.
I clocked the rock straight away but I didn't catch the other character!
Good work!
Thank you for playing. I guess for each person who can't identify the girl I will give out a hint until someone can.
Hint: she is japanese.
The Self and Love options kind of reminded me of Superhot for some reason. I can't place the second character but putting the Rock in in his most iconic outfit? You get 500 fake invisible points from me for that.
Thank you for playing. I guess for each person who can't identify the girl I will give out a hint until someone can.
Hint is that she was actualy cover in blood in this picture.
Love the use of the limitation with a relationship that's doomed to fail. Clever!
Thank you for playing. I wouldn't say it is clever since I experience it irl and only retell the story through game.... cry
Nice concept and nice outcomes! Love the balance between self and love. Would be nicer with more various images to illustrate the narrative, but thousand points to you for the Rock in that particular style^^
Thank you. At first I asked a friend for some illutration for this game, they are professional artist, but then reality truck that it was just me that think we are friend... So what the hell, I just get 2 picture and redraw it.
Well, who needs friends when we have games ? XD
But - but... I thought she was the one
Great concept
Time to listen to: Let Her Go - Passenger...
LOL
Wasn't expecting a narrative game in such a concept of nothing lasts forever. Not a bad idea. Can be implemented better.
Best wishes!
Good narrative journey and a positive message (at least the ending I got).
I was pleased to have music, it gave a chill "day in the life" vibe
Thank you for playing. I was gonna make the music myself too but it is really hard with no knowledge. Hoping next game I can use my own music.
