• Single button user interface (both mouse buttons perform the same action).
• I finally took the time to figure out how to use the AGS dialogue tree functionality in this one!
• Multiple playable characters.

This is such a cool idea, and it's very well implemented, too. Recommended play.

Finally got to this one! 
Had a blast playing this repeatedly trying to find if there were different outcomes (I'm really not sure what different paths are in here still).  Very cool lighting effects and scope for MAGS

I kind of like the timers in there, but I was left wondering a few times if it was a timer or if I had to look at everything, or do something, or what.. since it was a mix, I think?   
It would be cool if things auto-advanced on timers regardless of action.

I replayed to try to get the girl, and save the brother like 4 times and gave up.. I couldn't get either of those    (gave back the flask, tried to not give her the blanket, skip some dialogs...  Now I'm just feeling like I'm playing this like a Larry game.)

The candle light effect was very cool too, I kept trying to see where it looped, but I couldnt...  cheers!

Thank you, much appreciated!

It's great to see people have found the game fun enough to try multiple times, even though there might not actually be all that much to replay. I think I may have accidentally created the illusion of far more extensive selection of story paths when in fact there is only really one major one.

Can't save the brother, unfortunately, so I'm sorry you wasted time on that one. You can get the girl, though, but it might be tricky. All I can really say is: try and be nice, but don't push things too hard.

The magic trick is: it doesn't loop!
