Such a delight! I played through several times and loved how the choices subtly shift what you learn about the characters and how their reunion plays out. Really great work & so impressed y'all wrote this in a week!

thank you!

Thanks!!

this was really wonderful!! you two wrote them so well i knew i wouldn't be able to hang out with all of them (just intuitively) but i still hesitated e.g. not hanging out with heather three times in a row, bobby three times, sam three times,, etc. i wound up going heather > taylor > sam but kind of just mentally coin-flipped bw bobby and sam at the end. really charming details and i loved the early choices a lot too. the red pulsing light was also a perfect touch.

The struggle of not being able to do All The Things is so real and I'm really glad Matt was solid about keeping to that lmao

Thank you for playing!!

Oh I love this!!! The characters all feel so real and natural, and the story is so atmospheric.

I hung out with Heather, Taylor, and then Bobby. I'm curious if the order I did stuff in or the people I hung out with influenced anything that happened later

Definitely! Different people reveal parts of themselves to you or don't. One character sometimes doesn't show up at the end even 

Thanks!! And yeah as Matt said it absolutely influences what happens later in subtle and major ways.
