~ But what happens next?? ~
Pretty, smooth presentation helped me to immerse in the story, and I liked being "in control" - having small, flavour actions is something that enhances the experience of reading through interactive fiction in my opinion, so I was glad to interact more.
(On the replay a smooth presentation gave away the downside - I would want to click faster but couldn't but that a minor detail)
Still, though I liked the short story, I did expect having a bit more variety from endings - especially when a tension was hinted on (what did attack us? is it coming for me?). Maybe I haven't explored more, but my second attempt wasn't too different from the first one.
Thanks for the work!
