I saved this one until last based on the title alone in the hope that I could end the comp on a positive note, and I was not disappointed.

The start is engaging, the setting immediately real. Perhaps the most telling part of my experience here is that my mood changed as I became the interactor, falling easily into the melancholy and resignation that is immediately apparent in this piece.

Though there could definitely have been more implementation to polish things off, this is a very sound work with quality writing. It gracefully gave to me what I desire most out of interactive fiction, that being a worthwhile experience.

Thank you, Chrysoula.
