Oh, wow, the endings are all interconnected. The time and energy it must have taken to make this game is amazing. 5/5. And it at least needs a badge for getting all endings, like an easy one at least.

The plot is in a way chilling, especially when you find the ending that Angela get's future Todd's body and is actually an artificial soul that sort of took over/inhabited the mind of future Todds body. It's just really cool.

Wow. This is actually pretty good, unlike Greg's other game, which is a bit lacking areas like story... or graphics... This, on the other hand, is a brilliant little choose your own adventure that's fairly humorous but still manages to have a complex plot, especially for a flash game. Definitely 5/5.

Fun game. I really like how our understanding of the future is slowly built across the various endings. Reminds me a bit of the text adventure "Slouching Towards Bedlam".
Also, some of the endings remind me a lot of the movie the 13th Floor. (SPOILER WARNING FOR BOTH) Specifically in that both involve AI simulation inhabitants rewriting the brain of a visitor to the simulation.

Best game i have played in a very long time. Got all 35 endings and loved piecing the story together. Still having trouble thinking about it. My brain hurts! 5/5

Wewt! Angela married meh!!! Great game Greg and 5MinutesOff. Was gonna Rate 3/5, but due to the wide range of choices, and the numerous endings added to the rating as well, becoming 5/5.

Awesome story! I just sat here for something like an hour getting all the possible endings and scenes. You can tell this took a lot of time and work, and it was definitely not lost on me.
But remember kids... the moral of the story is that loners WILL grow up to be creepy, murderous monsters! STAY FAR AWAY FROM LONERS, DO NOT BEFRIEND THEM, THEY WILL KILL YOU. They'll probably kill you even if you don't befriend them. (sarcasm, were it not obvious)

This game is totally amazing. I've just finished all 35 endings during 3 hours straight play with a lot of thinking/analyzing pauses. I like how one can understand more and more of the story the more endings you complete and how it makes you think about more deep questions. The music also gives you the right feeling. Definitely a 5/5.

Greg, I understand it little more now with that explanation and playing around some more to get a few more endings. The story becomes a lot deeper and even though I was unable to get anywhere near 35 endings, I was able to piece together things that happened. Such as the Future Todd waiting in his car with the bat and knife and then learning what happens to Future Angela and her husband. Still a very good story.

Got through one ending and decided it was tl;dr. Not going to try to find other endings. Great game though for those into this kind of stuff so I'll rate 5/5

JapanFour, that's a pretty good question, and it's never explicitly answered. What I had in mind when writing the story is that (spoilers ahead) Future Todd is basically just playing around in the past world as if it were a sort of game. By getting the other endings you learn a bit about his obsession with Angela in the future, but his first jump back to the past is before any of those events have happened yet (going to the future at the earliest possible point, December 20, 2043, will be before Future Todd has done anything really bad, but still after his first jump back to the past). Basically, Angela is weighing on his mind, and he's playing around with the past to explore both what could have happened and how far he's mentally willing to go with his obsession.

Very interesting game. It's definitely fun for a text based adventure game with good writing. I just have one question that is maybe explained in one of the other endings since I only got to three of them, but if there is an alternate future for the 1998 Todd (When future Todd said do whatever you want when you're my age) Why did he go back in time to help Todd when it wouldn't help future Todd at all?
Hope that question wasn't too confusing.

Errm, I don't understand the whole "AI" idea. Are the past people (I.E. Todd and angela) the AI programs, affected by future Todd's actions? When angela/todd uses the earpiece, is it their AI thing going into Future Todd's body, since he is the owner of the device?
Third, can we have the recepie for angelfire? ;)
