I think the design of this game is really well done. This itch.io page as well has a lot of work put into it and compliments the game well. The balance of what is morally correct and what is financially wise is well conveyed in this story, and I think it is cool how sometimes the decisions you make are not completely one-or-the-other, sometimes raising both your morality and money or causing you to lose both. The decisions you make aren't super obvious sometimes until you commit to one, and that turns out to be something good for this game.

Interesting game where replaying it actually changes the outcome of the ending. While all the doors seem to lead to the same ending, actually switching up how you approach the doors changes how the story progresses. I think the idea of indecision is conveyed well, as the story almost mocks you in your attempt to switch doors, or even replaying the scene altogether. It seems though that sticking to what you think is right brings you the worst outcome. Nice concept, cool tone and great writing!

I think this game is pretty neat. I especially like the illustrations that go with the story (albeit this was not the focus it was still a nice touch). I was able to get all 5 endings as intended, but I was surprised to see that where you sit doesn't influence the endings as much as some of the choices you make at the end, considering how they are almost portrayed as different routes for you to take at the beginning of the story. While there did end up being risk and reward in the auction, I feel like most of the endings you could achieve were derived from the option where you don't risk anything at all, ironically. The narrative in the story is still told well and kept interesting, I was compelled to discover all the endings to completion. Nice job!!
