i've never been to make any choice or to have any ending... is that normal ? (i'm playing the director's cut)
Firstly, thanks so much for playing!
Even though it's a bitesized game, it does have a few choices and multiple endings, so that's definitely not normal x3
The hard part is figuring out if you've run into some sort of bug that I'm not aware of, or if you just need a hint to get to the choices/endings :3
Are you encountering any glitches or freezing? Is there something preventing you from advancing the text that seems like it shouldn't be happening?
I did see a brief clip of someone else playing it where they thought the game was over once they ended up on the title screen within just a few minutes of playing, so they closed the game >.<
Without openly wandering into spoiler territory, I can say that being booted onto the title screen is not the end of the game. So if it doesn't seem like an ending, it's not an ending.
I don't know if you already saw it or not, but I made a walkthrough guide that can be found here:

To explain a gameplay element that can trip some people up, I'll put it under spoilers :3
SPOILERS BELOW
This game includes some fake UI x3 There are loops and segments that appear to be repeated, but there are small differences that eventually add up. And there are parts that appear to be title screens, but they're not.
It's been a while since I made this, so I can't remember exactly what you need to click on in order to advance the narrative, but if you get booted onto a title screen, to continue, it will be one of the UI buttons.
If you click everything, start, extras, quit, etc. You'll find the one that carries on the game eventually :3
