I love non-fiction so I really liked the initial tram scene with overhearing people's conversations in particular, since I assume it was real. There was a nice train atmosphere to it too. And it was interesting to me seeing what kind of conversation people have there in the tram in Melbourne, since I don't get to experience that myself personally, I live in a country where I don't understand the language so people's train conversations flies past me. The deja vu scenes were an interesting choice I thought, although I admit I wished the game was more of you exploring around and hearing your thoughts and overhearing different conversations. The game ended when I declined to ride again for the third time, I didn't expect that and so I don't know if there are wildly different stuff or more stuff, I'm a scaredy cat and I didn't want to get confronted by that guy again, haha.
Thank you so much for playing! With the exception of two, all of what you overhear on the first part of the tram ride are real conversations I overhead during two trips to Melbourne.
I've just uploaded an update that finally implements the gallery feature. If you haven't been confronted by that guy again, then I recommend downloading the update to get the true ending.
Thank you once again!
