beautifully written. that the story was linear lent an air of finality, or of grief, to the whole thing for me. (which was good!)

I liked the focus on the protag's guilt, and the sorrow of burying a dragon, something that isn't "meant" to happen at all. One one hand the lack of options was an interesting way to show that there's no real other method, but after a while it got a little annoying because it was the same mechanic of subverting expectation, except that my expectations had already been subverted and I was already aware of what was going on.

I really like the theme picked for this - the idea of burying a dragon is a fascinating concept. The only thing I'd note is sometimes I'd click an option and there would be a message, but the scene wouldn't progress, so I'd keep clicking it - this gave text duplication. At that point, I'd figure I needed to click on something else.

Apart from that, great work!

The story was cute. I liked the way the story was told and written too.

It was just a shame that the choices were no real choices. I think it would have made a better impact if you would change pages every time you get to choose something instead of staying on the same page. Or at least changing page every time the player end up picking the correct option.

There seem also to be some kind of bug, where if you click an option multiple times, you have the same text being shown multiple times.

It would also be nice to have a reload/restart button as well.

I still liked it quite a bit.
