Weeeeell
The story was quite interesting and the way your actions affected the outcome was done well too. The gameplay and the graphics sucked a little bit and the character seemed to Totoro'ish to me =D
TL;DR: A very enjoyable game in the end =)
Confrontational vs Insulting
As a platformer it is decent. Personally I feel that there is too much lag when you die, and some more checkpoints could be interesting.
My biggest problem with the game is that it is insulting. I like the concept of the game making itself more difficult if you choose to ignore its advice, but the way it does it made me not care about finishing it.
Overall:
Decent platforming. Nice gimic. No incentive to finish.
How would I make this a ten?
I like the idea of contrary instructions. E.g. being told to take the harder path. It could have made for some excelent decisions, like doubeling back to clear your vision, or jumping into spikes just after a hard passage.
Making it insulting, I felt like I was being confronted by a four-year old. It is the kind of argument that you know you cant beat, so to win is not to play (which sadly is what I did).
Encourages self-reflection
Not epic, and not long, either. I am a man. I played through the second time and chose to call myself a girl to answer the end question, to make it sound more dramatic because the text called me a girl. Instead it called me a woman, which wasn't consistent with what my answer was to the first question I was asked. Needs some work, but I sense more potential.
Interesting
It is quite difficult and trippy if you don't listen to him/her?
I played both and it was enjoyable.
Challenging game and you did a good job making it.
