Decade

Literally my life. Where do I find the soundtrack?

well done, Mons...

Fantastic concept, fantastic writing, fantastic game! I love how much is done with so little. The game makes you bond with every character as you send them through the unknown, again and again. It is like playing a detective trying to save their family as well as humanity in this dark and mysterious world. Tons of unique, complex and incredibly well-written philosophies to discover. A hidden gem.

An excellent narrative experience with a very very unique core concept. Feels like this was made in 2003. Don't be afraid to look up a walkthrough if you get stuck. And go play it!

A very fascinating game, there's clearly a lot of love and effort poured in. The story is well written for the most part, but the repetition sets in after about three runs. The game desperately needs more dialogue for more situations, as well as to sometimes just have a bit more casual conversation. The endless lore about each era made me gloss over sometimes after the tenth one about Lavenderites and Neoralites who this time want things to be pure but in a kind of backwards unbackwards straight way this time. The "True Ending" also was funny to me, it makes sense and kind of brings it all full circle. But I do hope that for this devs next game they add more casual dialogue, since for me the parts that hit hardest weren't the endless dystopias, the messed up worlds. It was sending someone into a messed up era and them coming back to ask me if I think they're like me. And having to think: "Ma'am, you're a thirty year old woman but you still want my approval because I raised you. My opinion is, don't be like me I'm a crazed apocalypse survivor." That stuff really hit. My favorite non-three ending is either the Ula one or the one where we shoot everyone over thirty. That one seems WAY better than the reverse.

I liked it. I think the high concept was excellent, and the story was genuinely really good (even if different routes had somewhat noticeable differences in quality of the writing). I think the gameplay was meh, maybe 5/10, and the differences between the 3 protagonists almost not explored at all (outside of their individual routes). Probably due to lack of development time/energy/money. Still, well worth playing given the story, plus its cheap. Just use the official guide on steam (you can both check for vague hints and for explicit instructions) and play it as a visual novel if you dont wanna bother figuring how to progress at each step.
