Dripping atmosphere right from the start!
Such a unique and thematically fitting mechanic with the pendulum-chooser. Brilliant design choice with it being both perfect for the theme, and also adding some flair to the decision-making process (the added bit of randomness is also very fitting for how real-life choices are made). Most fun I have had getting an existential crisis: 5/5.
Thoughtful, unique and interesting game, great job.
