hi, I've played through a few times now (though I haven't finished yet -- got a little too frustrated
).
Overall I like it a lot. The writing has lots of evocative details and has perfect pitch for the story's setting and theme.
The presentation looks quite good. However I think the basic concept of the paging hypertext is not so good. I admit I do play a lot of parser IF, so maybe I'm not your target audience, but I play a lot of other games too and just like to read in general, so I think I have a decent feel for this -- stick with a scrolling page, like
Undum uses for example, or perhaps, columns that read left to right (for an example of this see
http://scoutshonour.com/shortshorts.php#1,570).
Also I feel the inventory window and such could be moved to a smaller pane maybe on the side. On my resolution (small laptop with 768 vertical) things didn't quite fit. I did like the thoughts inventory, that was a nice touch.
There are some other finicky things I think don't work well, like having to examine things first to use their contents later. Part of this is due to the cyclic nature of the story so maybe it can't be helped -- as eventually you have so much prior knowledge. It's both a blessing and a curse I guess.
Anyway I'm enjoying it so thanks for the link.
