An interesting world, story, and characters. I enjoyed the experience of playing as Esther and seeing her challenges and successes with her friends and the outside world. The only negative I can comment on is the lack of feeling that choices make any difference to the narrative. The few times that things branch for a moment all roads seem to quickly converge with no sense that the path brings anything forward for Ester or anyone else. This could just be my impressions, though. Overall I will be happy to continue experiencing this tale as long as you make it.
Hi, Erin! Thank you so much for playing! I'm glad that you've enjoyed what I've written of the game so far, and I really appreciate the feedback! That's definitely a fair criticism; I didn't intend for the story to branch very much this early on, and what differences there are at this point from different choices are fairly minor in the long run; although an important one is meant to have a greater impact later in the story. I haven't had as much time as I would like to work on this project since I started school, but it still really means a lot to me, so I'm very grateful for the feedback and encouragement!
