I believe this is one of the few games I've ever returned to play after so many years.
There are many great aspects to point out, but I'd just like to give some praise to the writing. Sure, you only have a couple snippets of writing, one at the beginning and one at the end, but they (especially the later) are... just powerful, very powerful writing.
It's been years and I still get goosebumps when I read the ending.
