This game is so beautiful. I love the change in the background. Like even with so little words, I could feel the numbness; I could feel the girl's hope. The music and the sounds really enhanced the experience.
I did notice a small glitch, however (I played on mac). Whenever the background switched, the previous sentence flashed again briefly before the new one popped up. Not sure I'm explaining it well lol. But I really your story!
Edit: Also, I thought the tapping mechanism was really cool! It was a nice touch to make the story immersive.
Hey there and thanks so much for your nice and helpful comment :). You don't know how much it means to me.
It makes me happy, that you liked the tapping mechanism because I wasn't sure how it would be perceived. I just thought it would be cool to have some kind of influence on the story.
As for the bug / glitch: First, thanks for reporting. I guess I did realize something was off during development but didn't connect it to background switching. Kind of ran out of time before the submission deadline. However I'll make sure to fix it soon.
