- Alternate endings for each episode and hundreds of branches
Find it on Steam.

Timed hot-spots sound annoying. Like quick-time events you need to chase around the screen. But maybe they're not as bad as they sound? If they are, they'll definitely ruin the fun for me.
Looks great otherwise.

I believe there was an option to turn the timed part of it off.

I've got to the final episode and have been going through some of the alternative choices I could have made in previous episodes. It's great fun!
Still trying to work out though :-)

I played this via Proton a while back, it was great fun. I went through it a bunch of times trying to see all the endings. If you like FMV games, chances are you'll have a blast with this.

As PublicNuisance wasn't sure: Is it possible to disable the "timed" aspect of choices?

Yes, there's an option in the Settings menu. However you still have to click once on the game screen to 'pause' the choice selections as they appear.

While it's possible to disable the timer it's pretty generous and since most of the time you have no idea what it is you're choosing anyway it's mostly meaningless. No amount of dexterity is required at all.
I'm now through the game and concur that it's a great way to spend a few hours.
