This format didn’t really work for me, however, I realize that it’s a matter of personal preference. I just don’t enjoy stories that are so short. It doesn’t allow for immersion, and I found my mind wandering many times because I just wasn’t invested in a story that would end in a minute.
It didn’t help that many of them didn’t have any resolution or emotional payoff. They had those open endings, and that was disappointing and made my choices feel meaningless — I started the story with no context and ended in the same way. Some of them were just kind of alright. And there was one I actually enjoyed that had a meaningful, emotionally charged ending that wrapped the story up and made my choice feel like it mattered.
Then, something broke, and I heard the first story again, but the choices I saw were from a completely different one. That’s when I stopped playing.
