And the Moment Is Gone

Description

An experimental conversation & internal monologue simulator made for Ludum Dare 29. I tried to do an Eternal-Sunshine-of-the-Spotless-Mind-esque game, something I’ve been thinking about for a while, but finally did it over the weekend (that’s what jams are for, right?).

Why did she sit near me? There’s plenty room on this train. God, she looked at me! Did she just smile? OK, relax, just calm down. Why do I fall in love with every girl that smiles at me? Do not overthink. I should say something. There is inifinite number of ways to make a conversation (at least in my head). What should I say? Why did she sit near me?!..

If you think the game is frustrating and you can’t win – congratulations, that’s how most of us feel on public transport every day! (Just kidding, you can win. Kind of.)
