A deep dive into Marisa's past. One that feels appropriate for her present, but offers many knobs to turn to tell a different tale. The variations remind of the how an oral legend might twist and turn through the generations based on the values and interests of the storyteller. The endings provide a brief summary of the results of your choices, leading Marisa to seek someone. Maybe I missed it, but the ending I tried the hardest to find was one where Marisa sought out more on her mother and grandmother. That narrative hook was dropped early but feels like it it got lost along the way. It is unfortunate to see no visuals to accompany the writing, but the writing holds up just fine without it. Really, the one thing I'd like is a larger textbox to make more use of the screen and require less clicking between sentences. A byproduct of the engine being used, I suppose.
