Spoiler Alert!
One of the best looking projects I’ve seen thus far. I really love the old-ish computer feel and the way you masked the UI buttons (both in the main menu and in the videos). The way you read the story is unique too, accessing video files to get snippets of the plot, however this is also an issue with the story we have at hand. The wedding video dragged on way too much, and the fact that they are married could possibly be conveyed in a more concise manner, all the while leaving room for more plot points to appear. These films seemed to be in chronological order, though it leaves too much questions in the air (like what is his relationship w/ his parents? how did Milton’s friend met him? Where did he go? Did Milton have a chance to confess? etc). There should be some mysteries, but too much leads to a lack of cohesion (with the same character being featured the only real connector between the scenes). As such, there wasn’t a clear conflict…or any kind of interesting development either, making the story kinda boring to read through (but tbf the current story is not that long).
Presentation wise, it’s perfect! Although I’d prefer it if there were some sounds in the other files and not just the last one. The characterization was also done well, and there exists a clear distinction between how characters act.
The theme was quite unclear to me, because from the description and the story, it doesn’t seem like there’s anything resembling an allegory to ‘Light’ (well unless old memories counts but i don’t feel (or see) this information impact the opener of these files at all).
