I hope my english level don't make me miss some important details, but the style, music and looping already shape an interesting atmosphere in nice harmony with the text, and you imagine the story naturally.

I think I know what this is about. The judgment at the end of some loops... The concern about defining something or writing well... After some thoughts I imagine a writer trying again and again to write his story, never satisfied enough, throwing fold paper sheets in a bin.

But the first thing I was thinking about aftrer playing was someone overthinking. Trying to reach some truth but losing himself and trying to start back with the will to be concise to feel satisfied to catch that truth.

I see there is one word changing and there is a rip, so I hope I didn't miss some secret path that could lead to an end.

Beautiful interpretations! 

There are only 3 'endings' before the loop begins: acceptance, running away, and silence. 

There is no secret ending.

Thank you so much for playing, I hope you enjoyed it!

This is very well done and thought-provoking. Simple and elegant. I can't stop playing, help! Haha. But for real, thank you for making this game. It was such an experience. ^^

Thank you for playing! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for the existential crisis ;_;

but for real, what an interesting way of using the 500 words! It felt a bit meta, and at the same time, like meeting some sort of Administrator of Death summarising your life in 500 words. That was neat!

Sorry. 

Thank you for the kind words! Administrator of Death is an interesting way to look at it :)
