There are hardly any puzzles, but I didn´t miss them at all because it is a great interactive story. Excellent writing, an original, hypnotic story with a human dimension that is often missing in parser text games.

Really good. Compact and gripping, as Andrew said. And brutal, as war is brutal. I though it was well written (especially as this is a translation from the original - Spanish, I think?) 

Choices are very constrained - the player is railroaded through the narrative and nudged heavily if they attempt to stray from the intended path - but I think that works  very well in this context. There's a certain nightmarish quality, of being unable to escape from a dreadful, preordained fate, that comes through strongly as the player is pulled through each chapter towards the though-provoking ending. I liked it a lot, and played through a couple of times. Good entry!

This was really gripping! I can't say I liked the narrator, but I'd be as scared as he was in wartime. I'll say no more ... I don't want it spoiled for others. Just, for not being very long it's quite intense.

This didn't feel like my sort of entry when I saw it, but I'm very glad I took the time. Well done.
